Adir Ron, Lead Stragegic Innovation Lead, Microsoft, presenting about "Real Impact for Better Health" at the mHealth Israel conference, Dec 15 2014 in Tel Aviv
In every area of the health ecosystem, organizations that develop, deliver, and pay for health services are increasingly challenged to accomplish what we call the triple aim of effective healthcare: (Customize challenges to audience as necessary.)
Better care for individuals:
Variation in services: Pervasive regional variations and small-area variations in healthcare practice suggest that the evolving science of healthcare is not uniformly recognized and practiced across the healthcare system.
Underuse of services: Millions of people do not receive necessary care and suffer needless complications that add to costs and reduce productivity.
Timeliness of care: Many organizations want to find a way to reduce waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and give care.
Providing patient-centered services: With new medical information available to patients, organizations may struggle to offer care that is both respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values while also ensuring that patient values guide clinical decisions.
Better health for populations:
Ensuring equitable care: A number of factors contribute to disparities in the quality of care that affect certain populations (based on gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and/or socioeconomic status) more than others.
Lower per capita costs (while maintaining high quality and better access):
Overuse of services: Each year, millions of patients receive healthcare services that are unnecessary, increase costs (higher than rates of inflation), and may even endanger their health.
Inefficiency of care, uneven outcomes: Countless organizations struggle to avoid waste, such as waste of equipment, supplies, people, and energy.
Providing coordinated, high-quality care is both facilitated and in some ways complicated by a number of technological trends that are changing the ways many healthcare organizations operate, including:
An explosion of data: When I said earlier that most organizations don’t have a clear picture of their patients, it’s not for a lack of information. Today, healthcare organizations are awash with data. What’s worse, it comes wrapped in layers of complex regulations and stringent federal and state regulations (for example: HIPAA, HITECH Act (US) and EU Model Clauses (Europe)). Collecting data is not the problem; it's the ability to process, store, and interpret significant amounts of information that is one of today’s most important technological drivers in health.
Cloud computing: Cloud computing is the delivery of IT infrastructure assets over the Internet on a utility basis. Increasing numbers of health organizations are investing in on-premises, cloud, or hybrid solutions to help address their current computing needs, while providing a sustainable path to the future.
Bring your own device: Doctors generally prefer to use the technology with which they are most comfortable. The “bring your own device” trend—in which employees use unsupported, personally owned technology in the workplace—makes this tendency particularly significant for healthcare IT. Healthcare providers are now faced with balancing security in a non-homogenous information technology environment while supporting the different communication needs of workers across an organization. Tablets and new mobility scenarios are now possible in healthcare.
In response to recent healthcare reform initiatives, organizations are leveraging one or more of these trends for data coding, the transmission of data, improved security, quality measurement, safety reporting, electronic health record implementation, meaningful use, accountability, and transparency. In countries like the United States, major facets of the healthcare industry are being reshaped and new financial incentives favor organizations that practice a more integrated approach to patient care.
We all strive to achieve better care and better outcomes for more people. It’s a shared goal, and Microsoft works every day with health organizations, communities, and partners around the world to help realize it. We assist by bringing together people, processes, and information to support better-informed decisions and greater collaboration. Our solutions—some designed specifically for health and others well-known to people everywhere—are intuitive and powerful, delivering excellent value. They work well with customers’ current systems and approaches, and they also provide new capabilities to help people advance research, management, and care.
Currently, we are focused with our partners on these areas:
Mobility in health
Health productivity and collaboration
Health analytics
Cloud platform in health
דוגמא נוספת לחדשנות שאנחנו מביאים באולמות ה PC הינו בעזרת Linect. לאחרונה שחרננו את Kinect 2.0 המכיל הרבה מאד שיפורים מהדור הראשון של המצלמה . ארבעה מקרופונים, infra red מצלמת עומק ועוד.
וניתן לחשוב היום על החיבור של ה desktiop עם kinecy ש Kinect הינו העיניים והאוזנים של ה PC. כלומר באמצעות עבודה עם ה לןמקבא tbjbu ntparho להכניס עוד inuput שעד היום לא התקיימו לתוך המחשב.
בעזרת קול , ומחוות ידים.
רון תודה רבה!!!
חידוש נוסף שהושק ממש לאחרונה הינו המיקרוסופט BAND
מדובר בצמיד ייחודי שהוא לחלוטין cloud based service
שרות ענן עם יכולות DATA מתקדמות ויכולות חיבוריות לאפליקציות חיצוניות ורבות כמו RUNKEEPER ואחרות.
מאפשר חיבור ל DEVICES שונים ותומך ב IOS, אנדראויד וכומבן ב WP.
באמצעות שימוש בטכנולגיה מתקדמת מאפשר לאחד את המידע ולהגביר את הפרודקטיביות של המשתמש.
דוגמה מצוינת לכך היא השימוש בקורטנה אותו אדגים לכם בקצרה ותחזיקו לי אצבעות שזה יעבוד
The proliferation of sensors
In a mobile-first cloud-first world, doing things others cannot do.
The new vision for MS is mobile first cloud first computing. We want to do things uniquely that others haven’t done.
Health is a great opportuny.
Plenty of people are thinking about health, but nobody is bringing insights in an open-way. We want people to help people live healthier and be more productive.
Healthvault is a great thing for EMR and your data will continue to be protected theree
Microsoft believes that making a real impact on improving care requires more than just technology—it requires intuitive and pervasive collaboration; reliable ways of storing, retrieving, and analyzing diverse sources of medical data; and enabling care providers to perform at their best. It involves harnessing the power of the latest technology innovations toward meeting your goals of improving quality of care, making better use of your current resources, and bringing healthcare access to the patients who need it most.
We believe that connecting individuals, institutions, and systems that make up the complex fragmented ecosystem of healthcare delivery is our number one job. Through the breadth of our offerings and our open, ecosystem/partner-driven approach:
We help connect across a world of experiences and devices and do so in a way that is open to new device types from our partners and competition, and that also redefines how we interact with systems using touch, gesture, and speech.
We help connect old systems with new technology and cloud computing, and allow customers to make that move at a pace that matches their needs—as well as the local laws and regulations on patient data privacy and security. This includes connecting information and communication technology (ICT) with the health organization’s strategy to deliver ICT services that can quickly adapt to the changing needs of the health organization.
Finally, we help connect industry leaders and policymakers and build knowledge and community through our unique position and growing experience in solving real-world problems.
We help healthcare providers to realize real impact—directly and through our partnerships—across an array of solution areas that target some of the primary challenges facing healthcare providers today, all of which have underlying scenarios that answer customer-specific issues.
