Against the Odds: How this Small Community Hospital Used Six Strategies to Su...Health Catalyst
The constant thread weaving through every healthcare organizational strategy should be adherence to the Triple Aim. But with uncertainty generated by the changes at the federal level, healthcare organizations may be tempted to put their value-based care plans on hold. This article explains why that’s not necessary and lists six strategies for thriving under a fee-for-value model: 1.) Use Leadership and Team Structure to Support Improvement 2.) Drive Down Costs 3.) Reduce Unnecessary Waste 4.) Encourage the Learning Organization 5.) Prioritize Patient Education 6.) Track Data and Outcomes This blog cites one small medical center with odds stacked against it, and how it is managing to not only weather the changes, but also distinguish itself by staying true to the values of the Triple Aim.
The Imperative of Linking Clinical and Financial Data to Improve Outcomes - H...Health Catalyst
Quality and cost improvements require the intelligent use of financial and clinical data coupled with education for multi-disciplinary teams who are driving process improvements. Once a data warehouse is established, healthcare organizations need to set up multi-disciplinary clinical, financial, and IT specialist teams to make the best use of the data. Sometimes, financial involvement is minimized or even excluded for a number of reasons that can turn out to be counterproductive. However, including financial measurements and participation up front can help enhance the recognized value and sustainability of quality improvement or waste reduction efforts. the In this session you will learn keys to success and real-life examples of linking clinical, financial and patient satisfaction data via multi-disciplinary teams that produce impressive results.

Healthcare Interoperability: New Tactics and TechnologyHealth Catalyst
Every provider agrees on the need for healthcare interoperability to achieve clinical data insights at the point of care. The question is how to get there from the myriad technologies and the volumes of data that comprise electronic medical records. It’s been difficult to organize among participants that have had little incentive to cooperate. And standards for sending and receiving data have been slow to develop. This is changing, but the key components that are still vital to realizing insights are closed-loop analytics and its accompanying tools, an enterprise data warehouse and analytics applications. This article defines the problems and explores the solutions to optimizing clinical decision making where it’s needed most.
Becoming the Change Agent Your Healthcare System NeedsHealth Catalyst
I’ve met many clinical and operational leaders across the U.S. and seen how many have become progressively cynical and disengaged when faced with important healthcare reform issues like cost cutting and tight budgets. These clinicians would agree that equally important are quality and safety issues. However, most don’t have the tools available to actually measure that quality or patient outcomes. When clinicians do have access to the ability to measure, and the work together, I’ve seen enormous energy arise as they ask questions they really care about: What is quality? What do we measure? How do we achieve the best outcome?
Looking Back on Clinical Decision Support and Data WarehousingHealth Catalyst
Dale will take a slide deck previously prepared in 2006, from a lecture entitled, "The Power of an Enterprise Data Warehouse in Clinical Decision Support", presented to several informatics masters classes at Northwestern University and the University of Victoria. He won’t change anything about the slide deck, including the content and the old school graphics. The concept with this webinar is to give a “time capsule” perspective on past thinking and contrast that against current thoughts and trends in the market. Some of the information will be laughably wrong and naive, and some of the information will still be relevant. The hope is, by regularly reviewing our past, we will better inform our future.

Making Healthcare Waste Reduction and Patient Safety Actionable - HAS Session 6Health Catalyst
Multiple studies have estimated that at least 30% of US healthcare expenditures are wasteful. But how do you identify and reduce that waste? In this session, we will share with you a three-part framework for understanding, measuring and addressing waste reduction. In particular, we will highlight the importance patient safety and injury prevention, framing the importance of shifting from a system of incident reporting (which creates a culture of blame and guilt) to a system in which patient injury is regarded as a process failure rather than a person failure. To make that transition, health systems will need to 1) define process flows and metrics for each major type of patient injury; and 2) create a learning environment in which team members are engaged in process redesign to prevent process failure and injury. A leading health system in patient safety and quality will also share their best practices in how they have created a culture of patient safety and quality.
Use Well-Crafted Aim Statements To Achieve Clinical Quality ImprovementsHealth Catalyst
Too often, hospitals and health systems stop at developing broad clinical quality improvement statements that come up short of achieving their desired goals. What’s missing are clearly defined improvement objectives in the form of aim statements that take into account the effects on other areas of the organization: patient safety and satisfaction, physician engagement, and financial contribution. Aim statements help articulate the problems that add value for patients and the organization, but good data, and the analytics tools required to understand the data, are essential to illuminating high-value problem areas. Additionally, aim statements must stick to the SMART guidelines: Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
Genomic Medicine: Personalized Care for Just PenniesHealth Catalyst
The document discusses the progress and future of genomic medicine. The cost of sequencing a human genome has declined drastically from $100 million to an expected cost of just pennies by 2020. This will enable more personalized care based on a patient's genomic profile. Genomic analysis is already improving diagnosis and treatment for various diseases like rare genetic disorders and cancer. In the future, genomic data combined with sensor data will generate huge amounts of healthcare data and further advance personalized medicine.
Quality Improvement In Healthcare: Where Is The Best Place To Start?Health Catalyst
One of the biggest challenges providers face in their quality improvement efforts is knowing where to get started. In my experience, one of the best ways to overcome that “where do we begin?” factor is by using data from an enterprise data warehouse to look for high-cost areas where there are large variations in how health care is delivered. Variation found through the KPA is an indicator of opportunity. The more avoidable variation that is reflected in a particular care process, the more opportunity there is to reduce that variation and standardize the process. Suppose after performing a KPA you discover three areas of opportunity. How do you determine which one to pursue, especially if it’s your first journey into process improvement? The most obvious answer would seem to be the one with the largest potential ROI. That may not always be the best course to pursue, however. You will also want to take into consideration the readiness/openness to change in each of those areas.
As the Chief Medical Officer of North Memorial Health Care, Dr. Kevin Croston’s ultimate objective is to improve healthcare by driving variation out and improving cost efficiencies at North Memorial Healthcare. Core to his success has been a fundamental culture shift with physicians who are now using data to drive care optimization.
During this webinar, you’ll learn: 1) how to shift to a data-driven decision making culture, 2) how to make the data meaningful so providers can make better decisions, and 3) examples of successes and challenges, including how North Memorial has reduced unnecessary pre-39 week inductions, improved cardiovascular care and uncovered a substantial revenue cycle process issue.

In this webinar you will learn how the Surveillance Module can provide:
* Greater clarity to the types, numbers, and causes of adverse events, enabling leaders to quickly prioritize improvement efforts.
* Improved patient outcomes such as reduced morbidity, mortality, and length-of-stay, and increased quality-of-life and satisfaction.
* Bottom-line cost savings and improved brand recognition related to unnecessary or preventable high-cost care and reduced/eliminated penalties.
* The ability for clinicians and infection preventionists to focus on patient care instead of burdensome manual data extraction, aggregation, and reporting.
Six Steps to Managing an Infection Control BreachHealth Catalyst
Despite widespread efforts to improve patient safety, infection control breaches still happen at an alarming rate. In order to improve patient safety and prevent infections, healthcare organizations need to have infection control procedures in place and regularly assess protocols and adherence to these policies. In the case of an infection control breach, organizations need to be prepared to act quickly and follow a six-step evaluation procedure outlined by the CDC:
1. Identify the infection control breach.
2. Gather additional data.
3. Notify and involve key stakeholders.
4. Perform a qualitative assessment.
5. Make decisions about patient notification and testing.
6. Handle communications and logistical issues.

The Top Seven Analytics-Driven Approaches for Reducing Diagnostic Error and I...Health Catalyst
From a wrong diagnosis to a delayed one, diagnostic error is a growing concern in the industry. Diagnostic error consequences are severe—they are responsible for 17 percent of preventable deaths (according to a Harvard Medical Practice study) and account for the highest portion of total payments (32.5 percent), according to a 1986-2010 analysis of malpractice claims. Patient safety depends heavily on getting the diagnosis right the first time.
Health systems know reducing diagnostic error to improve patient safety is a top priority, but knowing where to start is a challenge. Systems can start by implementing the top seven analytics-driven approaches for reducing diagnostic error:
Use KPA to Target Improvement Areas
Always Consider Delayed Diagnosis
Diagnose Earlier Using Data
Use the Choosing Wisely Initiative as a Guide
Understand Patient Populations Using Data
Collaborate with Improvement Teams
Include Patients and Their Families
The Five Gocha's in Moving to Risk-Based ContractingJohn Francis
At HIMSS18, Barrie Bradley, Sr. Dir. of Clinical Performance Analytics, and Daniel F. Hoemke, Chief Business Officer at BaseHealth, presented on 'The Five Gotcha's in Moving to Risk-Based Contracting'. Click through to learn more, or contact us at info@basehealth.com.
The document provides an overview of an educational session on outcomes-based contracting between specialty pharmaceutical manufacturers and payers. It begins with four learning objectives, which focus on explaining the benefits of outcomes-based contracting, identifying considerations in designing such contracts, and describing tools for assessing patient response to therapy. It then provides information on continuing education credit for attendees, discloses the presenters' financial relationships, and reviews antitrust guidelines. The presentation aims to educate on the rationale for and experience with outcomes-based contracting programs.
The document discusses weaknesses in current approaches to patient safety and how data-driven tools can help address these weaknesses. It describes how health systems currently take a fragmented approach to safety that focuses on specific metrics rather than reducing all-causes of harm. New tools using integrated data, machine learning, and predictive analytics allow a more proactive approach by identifying risks, recommending interventions, and enabling improvements across the care continuum. The document advocates for a sociotechnical approach combining improvements to safety culture, processes, and technology.
Patient-centered medical home initiatives in several states have shown promising results in improving access to care, quality, and cost control for Medicaid patients. Oklahoma saw a $29 per patient annual reduction in Medicaid costs from 2008-2010 alongside increased use of preventive care. Colorado expanded Medicaid access from 20% to 96% of pediatricians at lower costs. Vermont saw 21-22% decreases in inpatient care use and costs from 2008-2010 alongside 31-36% drops in ER use and related costs. Washington state's acute care spending was 18% below average with 35% fewer inpatient stays per beneficiary. Overall, these initiatives demonstrate that the patient-centered medical home model can positively impact Medicaid programs.
The document discusses challenges facing the healthcare industry and opportunities for collecting patient-reported outcomes data to inform coverage decisions. It notes the industry faces a "perfect storm" of healthcare reform uncertainties like expanding coverage and cost containment. Patient-reported outcomes data from registries, reimbursement programs, and adherence programs could provide evidence of effectiveness and be valuable to payers, but how and whether it will be used by decision-makers remains unclear. The document calls for developing more effective patient-reported outcomes instruments and engaging payers on how this data can be integrated into their coverage policies.

Value-based health care is one of the most pressing topics in health care finance and policy today. Value-based payment structures are widely touted as critical to controlling runaway health care costs, but are often difficult for health care entities to incorporate into their existing infrastructures. Because value-based health care initiatives have bipartisan support, it is likely that these programs will continue to play a major role in both the public and private health insurance systems. As such, there is a pressing need to evaluate the implementation of these initiatives thus far and to discuss the direction that American health care financing will take in the coming years.
To explore this important issue, the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School collaborated with Ropes & Gray LLP to host a one-day conference on value-based health care. This event brought together scholars, health law practitioners, and health care entities to evaluate the impact of value-based health care on the American health care system.

Empowering rural India is of utmost importance and the government needs to do so by provisioning for broadband penetration and financial inclusion. Access to quality health care is another key to achieving rural empowerment. The budget for this segment was raised marginally last year and it would be good to have an allocation for rural health care programs with provisions for technology that would help modernize this sector to expand its reach through remote healthcare solutions and telemedicine.
Furthermore, the government announced a big budget campaign 'Swabhimaan' in the budget last year to promote banking and provide services to about 20,000 villages. In order to meet this goal, the budget this year too would need to make provisions accordingly. The steering committee on health said that in the 12th plan (2012-17), all district hospitals would be linked to leading tertiary care centres through telemedicine, Skype and similar audio visual media. M-health will be used to speed up transmission of data. Disease surveillance will be put on a GIS platform.
Disease surveillance based on reporting by providers and clinical laboratories (public and private) to detect and act on disease outbreaks and epidemics would be an integral component of the system.India will also put in place a Citizen Health Information System (CHIS) - a biometric based health information system which will constantly update health record of every citizen-family. The system will incorporate registration of births, deaths and cause of death. Maternal and infant death reviews, nutrition surveillance, particularly among under-six children andwomen, service delivery in the public health system, hospital information service besides improving access of public to their own health information and medical records would be the primary function of the CHIS.
Economies of Indian states can grow 1.08 per cent faster with every 10 per cent increase in Internet and broadband connections.
