Digital Health Solutions in TB
The National Tuberculosis Control Program of Bangladesh rolled out a web-based electronic tuberculosis (TB) patient management system called e-TB Manager to improve recording and reporting of TB case data. Over 950 health staff were trained on the new system, which was piloted at 6 sites in 2010 and gradually expanded nationwide. By June 2016, over 192,000 TB cases had been recorded in e-TB Manager. Analysis showed accurate reporting improved over time, with the number of low-performing health sites decreasing. Health staff reported e-TB Manager enabled timely reporting and data-driven decision making to strengthen Bangladesh's TB surveillance system.

OpenNotes: Transparent Clinicians' Notes for Health & Illness
OpenNotes began as a research project that studied the effects of allowing patients access to their primary care doctors' visit notes. The study found that patients who read their notes felt more engaged in their care, better understood their conditions, and were better prepared for visits. Doctors had initial concerns about increased workload, but found little real impact. After one year, 99% of patients and the majority of doctors wanted to continue open notes access. The research demonstrated that open notes can help patients manage their health more effectively with little negative impact. The open notes movement has now expanded beyond primary care and many organizations are adopting the practice.
A Consistent Nationwide Data Matching Strategy Donna Roach & Nancy Walker
This document discusses patient matching from the provider perspective. It describes two hospitals, Borgess Health and Our Lady of Lourdes, and their approaches to patient matching. Borgess Health uses a probabilistic enterprise master patient index from Netrix with a 95% tolerance threshold that weights different patient identifying factors. Their process involves policy, the probabilistic system, manual intervention from HIM and registration teams, and results in merging duplicate records after discharge and monthly record clean up. The conclusion emphasizes that patient matching is a patient safety issue according to organizations like The Joint Commission, and risks can be mitigated through human responsibility, design quality, technical implementation, standardized processes, and patient involvement.
MiHIN Statewide Consumer Directory Overview - Direct Workgroup v4 03-09-15
The document proposes a Statewide Consumer Directory (SCD) to give consumers more control over their personal health information by providing a single location for consumers to:
1) Identify their care team members and preferred providers.
2) Specify their preferences for consenting to how and where their health data is shared.
3) Define where their health data is stored across different systems and records.
The SCD would also benefit providers by allowing them to find a patient's care team, understand a patient's consent preferences, locate important documents like advance directives, and identify where to send patient data. The SCD aims to address current fragmentation of health information across different personal health records, provider portals, and specialty systems.

As countries reduce malaria transmission, strong health information systems are needed to monitor progress and tailor new approaches. A literature review identified key aspects of health information system functionality for countries at various stages of malaria control. Personnel, data quality, and system structure were the most influential aspects. Assessments are important to identify areas for improvement and allow comparison across countries and over time. The results will help develop country case studies and guidance to help strengthen routine data capture as countries adapt their health information systems for changing malaria epidemiology.
Paulash Mohsen OPMA session May 1 :"Multi-Channel Marketing"
Multi-channel management acknowledges that healthcare providers obtain information from various sources. Physician internet usage and preferences for online sources have increased substantially in recent years. Nearly all US and Canadian physicians are online, with many wanting to spend even more time accessing information online. Usage of digital channels like websites, mobile apps, email, and social media by physicians has risen dramatically from 2007 to 2010. Moving forward, pharmaceutical companies need to engage with healthcare providers through various interactive channels including online video, telecommunications, mobile apps, and both digital and in-person representatives to most effectively reach them. Success of multi-channel engagement should be measured based on customer interaction rather than just program execution or sales data.

An IT Approach to Improve the Compilation of Clinical Access Indicators and D...
The proportion of persons visiting a health facility reflects the level of access of that centre to its catchment area in terms of
Out-Patient Department (OPD) per capita. These attendances come with diagnoses which give an indication of the diseases pattern and
prevalence within the catchment area as well as patients who are insured and not insured. Though data of this nature are undisputedly crucial
to public health processes, morbidity returns from most health facilities, particularly public health facilities are generated manually making
it cumbersome and stressful. In addition, this method is error-prone and as such poses a strong threat to disease prevention, control and
information management. This research therefore uses an Information Technology approach to improve the process achieving over 90% time
gain. The Gambaga Health Centre in the East Mamprusi District was selected for the simulation

Project: “Implementation of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems”
Project Overview
The growth in technology has seen the inception of healthcare informatics whereby hospitals are required to utilize software systems to “facilitate workflow and improve the quality of patient care and patient safety” (Chang & Choi, 2016). Following the enactment of Affordable Care Act in 2010, the demand for healthcare services has increased drastically. Consequently, hospitals across United States serve a huge number of patients in a single day –hence making it hard for healthcare providers, clinical staff, and physicians to handle patients’ medical records manually.
Considerably, some level or organization is required in order to facilitate process of documentation and easy retrieval of patient records. Acquisition and implementation of a EMR system helps to capture, manage, and retrieve patient data like demographic information, lab results, medical history, among others with a single click. According to Coleman et al. (2015), “a strong EMR system can effectively acquire and centralize vital patient information” –something that is effective and efficient service delivery.
Thus, this project involves the process acquiring and implementing EMR to facilitate workflow and enhance service delivery in hospitals.
Synopsis
The project success is entirely anchored on proper “planning and management” of the activities and processes involved (Serra & Kunc, 2015). As a course, project management has a number of objectives which must be fulfilled and this project is fully aligned those objectives. First, there is need to ensure that projects are aligned to the organizational strategy and hence, this project is in line with the need to provide quality care to patients. The project plan will involve the process of creating a WBS that will act as a point of reference as far as project planning and control is concerned. Developing a network diagram for the project is also key in managing this project. Cost and time estimation is a key element of this project is essential in ensuring that the implementation team works within the required timeframe and budget. Values and risk analysis also forms is a key element of project plan to ensure that its implementation does not result into losses. The acquisition of high performing team is critical in ensuring that the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise is acquired to spearhead the implementation process. Understanding procurement process is necessary in order to acquire all the relevant materials and equipment to facilitate the installation and maintenance of EMR. Finally, assessment and evaluation of the project is essential to ensure that it meets the required standards (Clarizen, 2018).

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Electronic Information Management System to Improve Recording and Reporting for TB Control in Bangladesh: Initial Experience and Opportunities
- 1. Research Category 2: Public health practice TITLE: Electronic Information Management System to Improve Recording and Reporting for TB Control in Bangladesh: Initial Experience and Opportunities AUTHORS: Kibria M. G1a , Bashar Sa , Hossain M. Ka , Husain Ab a Systems for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS) Program, Management Sciences for Health (MSH), Dhaka, Bangladesh b National TB Control Program (NTP), Dhaka, Bangladesh BACKGROUND: One significant challenge for the NTP is to accurately record and report TB patient data. However, low reporting rates, a long lead time to generate TB reports, and complying with WHO reporting requirements meant more time preparing reports. INTERVENTION: We assessed the needs of the NTP’s information management system and identified key stakeholders and constraints. An options analysis identified the solution for improving the situation and resulted in the adoption of e-TB Manager (e-TBM), a web-based system, to manage TB patients and medicines and generate key reports and indicators. The system was initially piloted at 6 sites in partnership with WHO in November 2010 and then rolled out to 110 sites. RESULTS: e-TBM reduced the lead time of report preparation to less than one minute compared to two days, thus improving timeliness. It supports assessing the quality of implementing sites’ reports and contributes to designing supervision plans at low-performing sites. Initial observation showed that the performance rate for data quality aspects, such as timeliness, completeness, and accuracy, has progressively improved to 78% in November 2013, representing an increase of 20 percentage points compared to September 2013 (58%). CONCLUSION: e-TBM can support the systematic organization of critical information needed for timely decision making in TB control. With data decentralization and more involvement of various stakeholders in health system, e-TBM has the potential to promote real-time collaboration and provide a feedback mechanism. 1 Corresponding author’s email address: mkibria@msh.org
