The Foundations of Success in Population Health ManagementHealth Catalyst
From hospital systems to large employers, organizations are increasingly taking on financial risk for the health of populations. Drivers of this trend include the update to the MSSP model, the recent CMS Primary Cares Initiative announcement, the increasing prevalence of the Medicare Advantage model, innovative partnerships in the self-insured employer space, and the proliferation of Medicaid ACOs. Yet while market pressures push organizations toward population risk, they don't necessarily help them succeed: most organizations are struggling to attain or sustain the dual imperatives of high-quality care and cost containment. A primary reason? Short-sighted and tactical approaches that don't provide the flexible data infrastructure and tools to adapt to emerging trends in population health—or to support short-term contractual requirements while building toward long-term success.
View this launch webinar to learn about Health Catalyst’s Population Health Foundations solution, a data and analytics-first starter set aimed at optimizing performance in value-based risk arrangements and providing the data ecosystem that will flex and adapt to complex needs of risk-bearing organizations. Solution services ensure that the strategic value of data is maximized to improve performance in risk contracts—and provide side-by-side subject matter expert partnership for establishing short- and long-term goals for population health management (PHM).
Built on Health Catalyst’s foundational technology and supported by the nationwide experience and perspective of its experts, the Population Health Foundations solution helps organizations leverage multiple data sources to understand their patient populations and create meaningful views of financial and clinical quality performance. As a starter set that organizations can build on based on their needs, the solution is designed to compensate for the known limitations of “black box” population health applications that fail to reveal the “why” of analytic insights and exacerbate the challenges of transforming quality, cost, and care. The Population Health Foundations solution delivers the essential analytic tools needed for success under value-based risk arrangements.
In these slides you can expect to:
- Review recent changes to the field of value-based care, and reactions and insights from the market
- Discover how the Population Health Foundations solution can act as a comprehensive, data-first analytics solution to support your population stratification and monitoring needs
- Understand how this solution functions as a foundational starter set for value-based care success, enabling clients to leverage all their data and other relevant population health tools
This document outlines regulatory guidelines for digital therapeutics. It begins with defining digital therapeutics and their history. It then discusses questions stakeholders like innovators, clinicians, payers, patients, and regulators have. Key points include how digital therapeutics can claim clinical benefits, distinguishing them from digital health products, their advantages, and potential focus areas and target conditions.
Mobile health (mHealth) applications have grown significantly in recent years due to developments like electronic health records, FDA guidance on medical apps, and new monitoring technologies. While over 97,000 health apps exist, barriers to adoption include regulatory uncertainty, reliability/privacy concerns, and a lack of proven return on investment. Remote patient monitoring shows promise by providing continuous patient surveillance with actionable data from sensors and wearables. Social media also plays a critical role in mHealth by facilitating support groups, clinical trials recruitment, and more convenient healthcare access and information for patients. Surveys find healthcare organizations increasingly prioritizing mobile technologies but more work is still needed in areas like standards, funding, and demonstrating clinical impact.

In search of a digital health compass: My data, my decision, our powerchronaki
Knowledge is power. Despite extensive investments in digital health technology, navigating the health system online is challenging for most citizens. Also for eHealth, the “Inverse Care Law” proposed by Hart in 1971, seems to apply. Availability of good medical or social care services and tools online, varies inversely with the need of the population. The low adoption of eHealth services, and persistent disparities in health triggers a call for multidisciplinary action.
Barriers and challenges are not to be underestimated. Culture, education, skills, costs, perceptions of power and role, are essential for multidisciplinary action. This comes together in digital health literacy, which ought to become an integral part to navigate any health system. Patients living with an implanted device or coping with persistent, chronic disease such as diabetes, as well as citizens engaged in self-care, caring for an elderly relative, a neighbor, or their child with illness or deteriorating health, need a digital health compass.
The panel will engage the audience to elaborate on a vision for this personal, digital health compass and drive advancement in health informatics and digital health standards. The transformative power of health data fueled by targeted digital health literacy interventions can be leveraged by open, massive, and individualized delivery. This way, digital health literate, confident patients and citizens join health professionals, researchers and policy makers to address age-related health and wellness changes to shape the emerging precision medicine and population health initiatives.

A large Apple Heart Study was able to identify a small number of irregular pulses using a smartwatch. While digital portals can promote health equity, more work is needed on health literacy and social determinants of health. Real-world data will be important for evaluating digital tools as technologies evolve rapidly. Validation, regulation and ethics must be considered to realize mobile health benefits while avoiding harms.
How Interconnectivity Is Enabling The Future Of Patient-Driven HealthKent State University
1) Connected health technologies like wearables, home devices, and remote patient monitoring apps have the potential to transform chronic disease management by allowing patients to manage conditions at home independently.
2) Remote patient monitoring is increasingly being used to monitor chronic conditions like congestive heart failure and is showing success in reducing hospital admissions. Technologies also support healthy aging by enabling aging in place.
3) While connectivity offers opportunities, deploying and managing these systems poses challenges for providers and patients regarding technical support, data security and privacy, and maintaining remote monitoring equipment.
This document summarizes the current state of evidence for personal connected health technologies. It finds that while many technologies and interventions are being studied, the evidence base remains limited due to small study sizes, industry sponsorship, and a lack of standardized research methodologies. Recommendations include increasing study sizes, developing consensus guidelines for research in this field, and further validating apps and devices through comparative studies to help address current evidence gaps.

Finally, it notes that technology improves exponentially, so disruptive change will periodically be needed to realign business models with new technologies, and no past success will protect companies that fail to innovate.
Patient Engagement is more that an patient portal
Connected Health tools are available to enhance engagement
Personalization is needed to engage
How patient engagement technologies fit with population health
Helping those lacking health and digital literacy and access
The future is bright for Personal Connected Health
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest buzzword out of the interface between information technology and business. As technologies like Bluetooth and sensors enable connections between devices and networks, innovation has brought connections between devices and a human interface. In healthcare, this has been termed the Internet of Medical Things or Healthy things. Medical devices and consumer health devices generate data which can be analyzed, synthesized and displayed for the consumer and healthcare provider to get a broader picture of one’s health. Everything from fitness devices to glucose monitors can give us information about our current health status as never before. How this will integrate into a clinician’s workflow is a new journey of discovery as medical practice catches up with these innovations.
The document discusses the state of personal connected health, including the roles of wearables, sensors, apps, devices, and interoperability with electronic health records. It describes how consumer-generated health data from these tools is being integrated into clinical workflows to improve care, though incentives and barriers still exist. Evidence is emerging that connected health can help with conditions like diabetes, and the field continues to see strong venture funding and innovation.
Millennials are driving trends in mobile health as digital natives who rely on technologies like social media, texting, and apps. Hospitals are using portals, telemedicine, and remote monitoring to engage patients. However, many patients do not use portals due to lack of awareness or complex interfaces. Texting shows promise for improving outcomes through appointment reminders and health messages. Apps and games also motivate patients, especially for conditions like diabetes. Overall, mobile technologies allow more convenient, engaged, and proactive healthcare management.
Registries are important tools for managing patient data in Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). The document discusses how ACO registries are used to identify patient populations, stratify patients by risk and quality, and support care coordination through tools like dashboards and predictive analytics. Key requirements for ACO registries include using standardized quality measures, incorporating near real-time data from various sources like EHRs and claims, and having a centralized place to share best practices in data management to support population health in this new care model.
The HIMSS Connected Health Conference took place on November 8-11, 2015 at the National Harbor in Washington, DC. It included Mobile Health, Cybersecurity and Population Health topics.
Health IT plays a key role in personalized medicine by (1) creating large cancer-specific data registries to identify effective treatments for specific cancers, (2) improving clinical trial efficiency through better recruitment and feasibility tools, and (3) using mobile health tools to gather new types of data from trial participants. Health IT can also bring the promise of personalized medicine to more patients by providing better information about available clinical trials and empowering patients through electronic medical records, patient portals, and online communities that support clinical trials.
Long posts on LinkedIn provide an alternative to blogging and allow professionals to more personally share content and expertise directly within their LinkedIn network, potentially generating more interaction from followers through comments. Analysis of one manager's long post usage showed an increase in LinkedIn connections and engagement over a six week period, demonstrating how the format can help grow an individual's network and a company's social media presence when combined with promotion on other channels like Twitter.
HIMSS is a global non-profit organization founded in 1961 with over 56,000 members worldwide. The annual HIMSS conference draws 36,000 attendees. John Sharp discussed connected patient initiatives at HIMSS including giving patients access to their health data, enabling communication with providers outside visits, and ensuring health data is fluid, secure, and interoperable between systems. Contact information is provided for learning more about HIMSS and connected patient efforts.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
