This presentation, shares methods for using data and risk thresholds for “early” warning and early detection – the keys to effective population management and proactive care coordination.
1) Integrating antiretroviral treatment (ART) services into maternal and child health clinics improves access to HIV care and treatment for pregnant women. A study in Swaziland found more pregnant women eligible for ART initiated treatment when services were provided on-site rather than through referral.
2) Similarly, a study in Zambia found integrating ART into antenatal care clinics resulted in more HIV-positive pregnant women initiating ART during their pregnancy compared to the standard referral approach. Provision of on-site ART may be more effective than referral for linking infected women to treatment.
3) Challenges to fast-tracking pregnant women into treatment include weak referral systems between vertical HIV and maternal programs. Integr
This document summarizes Georgia's telehealth initiative. It discusses plans to expand access to care through telehealth while not replacing the medical home. Telehealth is currently used across Georgia to deliver services like WIC and increase access to specialty care. The document outlines various telehealth projects across different departments, including high risk OB care, children's services, infectious disease care, and dentistry. It discusses partners, funding sources, goals of increasing access and capacity, and next steps like securing more funding and expanding available services.
The 2015 GPT Spring Conference focused on telehealth and the Southeastern TeleHealth Resource Center (SETRC) which provides technical assistance to advance telehealth in several southeastern states. SETRC's education arm, the National School of Applied TeleHealth (NSAT), offers online telehealth certification courses and has collaborated with various organizations across the U.S. and internationally to provide telehealth training. NSAT graduates come from 42 U.S. states and 16 foreign countries.
The Hancock Healthcare Access Initiative aims to improve access to emergency and primary care in Hancock County through a partnership model. Hancock County ranks poorly in health factors, social economic factors, and physical environment. Approximately 68% of emergency room visits were for non-emergent issues and there is limited primary care access. The initiative would use emergency medical technicians trained in telemedicine to conduct in-home exams and diagnostics to treat non-emergency issues. This would decrease emergency room overuse and transportation costs while strengthening primary care. The goals are to enhance emergency care, decrease non-emergency transportation and emergency room use, provide 24/7 minor illness access, and ultimately decrease hospital readmissions by improving care transitions and prevention.
Most Americans are comfortable with telehealth services and many will continue using them after the pandemic. Over 65% of Americans are comfortable with telehealth and 63% of those who have used it plan to continue doing so after COVID-19. When given a choice, over 40% would prefer a mix of in-person and telehealth services. Common uses for telehealth include asking medical questions, reviewing test results, and getting prescription refills. One-third of Americans would consider replacing some primary care doctor visits with telehealth services.

This document summarizes the challenges of managing data quality in an integrated public health surveillance system and proposes solutions. Historically, databases were siloed but integration provides benefits like reduced redundancy and standardized data collection. Electronic lab reporting increases standardization but also volume and velocity of data. Defining clear data quality roles, accountability, documentation, training, and standardized processes can help address current roadblocks. Metrics, flowcharts, and trainings on concepts like roles and responsibilities are proposed to improve data integrity and quality management going forward.
This document discusses telehealth models in 21st century healthcare. It provides an overview of telehealth definitions and benefits, including improving access to care for aging and chronic disease populations. The University of Virginia Center for Telehealth is presented as a case study, serving over 41,000 patients across Virginia through telestroke, telepsychiatry, tele-ophthalmology and remote patient monitoring programs. The document concludes with discussing needed policy changes to improve Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and licensing requirements to further support telehealth expansion.
This document discusses how telehealth can help control healthcare costs, improve outcomes, avoid readmissions, and modify patient behavior. It provides examples of how telehealth is being used at UMMC and Mississippi to expand access to specialty care, support chronic disease management, improve care coordination, and enhance population health through tools like remote patient monitoring and data analytics. The goal is to improve quality, efficiency and safety through telehealth while empowering patients and preventing unnecessary hospitalizations and ER visits.

The 6th Annual Georgia Partnership for TeleHealth Spring Conference will take place from March 25-27 in Savannah, Georgia. Telehealth uses digital technologies to enhance healthcare delivery and support. It can help redistribute healthcare expertise to where it is needed and create greater value. Common telehealth modalities include live video, store-and-forward, remote patient monitoring, and mobile health. Both federal and state policies will need to evolve to support greater use of telehealth as the healthcare system shifts from volume-based to value-based care.
This document discusses Utah's strategies for improving population health through statewide clinical and public health data interoperability. It outlines Utah's shared vision for using data exchanges across EHRs, HIEs and public health to support population health goals. Key strategies discussed include developing a shared statewide health IT plan and governance model for a master person index to facilitate identity management and data sharing. The document also highlights challenges in making public health systems more interoperable and developing analytics to support diverse population health needs.
This document outlines a model for integrated student healthcare called the Integrated Student System of Care (ISSC). The ISSC framework promotes an ecosystem of healthcare services through telemedicine programs. It provides coordinated services like primary care, mental health support, health education, and family case management. The model aims to address barriers to care in underserved communities through school-based telehealth centers that connect students to specialists, primary care doctors, and other resources using telemedicine. Establishing these centers requires engaging the whole community and leveraging public-private partnerships between schools, health organizations, state agencies, and insurers. The goal is to create accessible, continuous care for students to support their health, education, and development.
Richard A Moore II and colleagues studied the effect of implementing a transition coach program on 30-day readmission rates in a community hospital. The transition coach program was intended to address barriers to quality care during the transition from hospital to home. However, the study found that after implementing the transition coach program, 30-day readmission rates actually increased in this community hospital serving a predominantly low-income patient population. The objective was to determine the impact of the transition coach program on readmissions.
The document discusses predictions for the future growth of telehealth. Sensors will continuously monitor vital signs and activities. Annual growth in telehealth is predicted to be 18.5% worldwide through 2018 and 56% annually in the US, reaching $1.9 billion by 2018. Consumer demand and government support will drive telehealth to become mainstream healthcare. Telehealth also enables greater international collaboration in business and healthcare missions.

Each of the partners will address its roles using different approaches depending on their area of expertise. This is an important factor to consider as different institutions address health promotion using different approaches and perspectives. The overall outcome from the contribution of every partner should be able to restore and promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social wellness of the community in relation to the health issue being suffered (Minelli, & Breckon, 2009). Chronic diseases are currently the leading causes of death in the community due to their complexity and the severe effects on human health. The community health promotion and education program will be provided by the ‘Health Concerns Coalition’ which will be made up of the following partners; community religious groups, Cancer Supportive Care Foundation, an association of cancer-survivor patients, nutritional organizations, and the local authority.
1. Cancer Supportive Care Foundation – This is an important part of the coalition as it will offer technical expertise in education and diagnosis of chronic diseases. The foundation team will include medical experts who will diagnose the community members of any chronic illnesses. Examinations for diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes and blood pressure will be conducted by this partner as they will provide modern machines needed for the diagnosis of chronic illnesses.

This webinar discussed tools developed by AHRQ to measure and evaluate clinical-community relationships. An expert panel developed a conceptual framework and used it to create an Atlas with 22 existing measures of relationships. They also produced a Roadmap identifying priority areas of study to improve care coordination between clinical and community settings. The tools are meant to help build the evidence base around partnerships that promote integrated preventive services and fill gaps in needed care.

This document summarizes the results of a scoping survey of organizations that produce local health data profiles and reports in Ireland. It found that while there is some collaboration, most profiles rely on a single organization's own datasets and there is significant variation in formats, targets audiences, and challenges. Common challenges included maintaining and updating data, costs, and differences in geographical boundaries. The survey identified over 60 unique datasets and opportunities for increased collaboration to strengthen health information functions.

The document discusses strategies for addressing gaps in electronic health record (EHR) data collected by the All of Us Research Program. It notes that EHR data is often fragmented across different providers due to participant mobility and care received from multiple organizations. The program has begun linking claims data and exploring participant-mediated linkages using FHIR and Apple Health. Additionally, acquiring data from national health networks/health information exchanges could help fill gaps by providing a broader view of participant health histories. Privacy-preserving record linkage techniques are also discussed as a way to match participant records across different data sources while protecting identities.
Updates on the BioSense Program Redesign: 2011 Public Health Preparedness SummitTaha Kass-Hout, MD, MS
Most state and local health departments are involved in on-going traditional disease surveillance and are beginning to access information through health information exchange with clinical partners. Biosurveillance initiatives offer the opportunity to leverage these existing initiatives while providing important data to protect community health. Building on these existing activities and relationships is key to the success of national initiatives such as BioSense Redesign and meaningful use of electronic health records as a component of the evolving nationwide health information network (NHIN). During this session/workshop, the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) in association with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will address discuss the BioSense redesign effort and provide opportunities for extended engagement of local and state health officials. This workshop encourages the participation of public health emergency responders, and local public health personnel involved in bio-surveillance for emergency preparedness and response within their jurisdictions.
This document provides a summary of the Joint Review Mission final report on improving access to health services in Ethiopia. The review assessed progress on implementing health sector objectives, identified health system bottlenecks, and explored best practices. Some key findings included:
- Antenatal care coverage reached its highest level of 98% in 2006, increasing from 71.4% in 2002. Postnatal care also increased but regional variations exist.
- Institutional deliveries increased in visited health facilities from the previous year due to functional community health groups, ambulance services, and committed health workers. However, the target of 60% was not met nationally.
- Deliveries attended by skilled health personnel rose from 16.8% in 2002

Analytics will begin to drive more operational and clinical changes in 2015 as organizations focus on using data to change practices and identify high-risk patients. The number of uninsured Americans will continue to decline modestly as states find ways to expand coverage. Payers will strategically invest in retail healthcare and consumerism despite a lack of immediate return on investment as the shift to defined contribution plans continues. Telehealth services will start to be covered by some payers but utilization will remain low. Personalized treatment plans created from patient profiles will likely be ignored by physicians who are skeptical of technology-driven medicine.

Editor's Notes
Let’s set the stage by defining what we mean by Population Health
Population health was defined by Kindig and Stoddart (2003) as “the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group.”
Berwick and colleagues (2008) identify “improving the health of populations” as one element in the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) Triple Aim for improving the U.S. health care system (the other two elements call for improving the individual experience of care and reducing the per capita costs of care for populations).
OR
The Triple Aim defines 3 inter-dependent aspects of population health
- Improving the health of a population
- Improving the patients experience of care
- Reducing the per capita costs of care for populations
Health outcomes are measured for a defined group that is at-risk (based on agreement to metrics and measures of health)
How does that translate into practicing, actually implementing Population Health Management Programs at Oschner?
What you see her on this slide are the essential components of our Population Health program. If you take the 3 components at the lower left part of the circle, EMR, HIE and Analytics, these are the fundamentals of data access, integration, analysis and reporting that are essential for identifying your chronic conditions and patients at risk, stratifying them into groupings or cohorts that are then tied to interventions and programs, including targeted disease management, education and self-management training. On the upper part of the circle, Expanded PC access and developing a PCMH infrastructure is critical for holistic and team-based patient management, navigation and engagement. Post acute alignment is essential for addressing what happens to patients when they transition from the hospital to other settings. Aligning the post acute stakeholders is one way to prevent unnecessary readmissions. Finally, patient activation and engagement is important. Having implemented and scaled a diabetes population health management program, we know that diabetes self-management is critical for success.
Big Data is expanding on three fronts:
Volume – 48% per year as projected/estimated by IDC
Velocity – rate of change is increasing exponentially driven by MU, ACA, consumer-created data, HIEs, etc.
Variety – introduction of new data (consumer devices, mhealth apps, telehealth, genomics)
41% of health executives say the volume of data their organization manages has grown more than 50% in the last year alone.
