Professor Department of Health Policy and Management
Director of Center for Population Health IT
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore Maryland
Professor Weiner’s presentation will focus on how electronic health records and other e-health tools can be harnessed to move beyond providing medical care for a single patient episode towards the achievement of “population health.” This provocative presentation will offer new conceptual paradigms and will review “big data” opportunities and challenges. The emphasis of the talk will be on how population focused care transformation can be brought about through the integration and application of e-health/EHR systems and claims/MIS systems. The talk will offer examples of analytic tools and methods designed to increase the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of care provided at a geographic community level and to “populations” of consumers enrolled in health plans, ACOs and other integrated delivery systems.
Key goals of presentation:
∙ To offer frameworks and paradigms to better understand how EHRs and other HIT can improve population health
∙ To outline opportunities and challenges for communities, ACOs and other integrated delivery systems
∙ To offer some case studies on the application of health IT to population health Patient Access to Personal Health Information Across Health Care Settings
The study aimed to characterize patient experiences accessing personal health information across different healthcare settings and understand barriers to meaningful use of electronic health records from the patient perspective. In-depth interviews and focus groups with patients found that in 2012, access times ranged from 3-30 days, with academic medical centers providing information fastest. Community hospitals relied on slower mail/fax delivery. Participants reported physical, financial, and attitudinal barriers. The findings suggest a need for improved health data access policies and technologies to better support patient self-management of chronic conditions.
Health Data Sharing Scene Setting
Prof Richard Greene, Chief Clinical Information officer in the HSE, sets the scene for health data sharing in Ireland at the 2023 IPPOSI conference.
A Personal Health Record ( Ehr )
1) A personal health record (PHR) allows patients to access and manage their own health information to participate more actively in their care.
2) There are two main types of PHRs - tethered PHRs connected to healthcare providers and untethered standalone PHRs.
3) PHRs can empower patients, improve communication between patients and providers, and increase patient safety through better access to health information. However, they also face challenges regarding data security, privacy, and digital literacy.

In the field of health informatics, particular historical events help inform the management of health information:
1. The 1950s saw the early development of health informatics through cybernetics and information processing. This entailed professionals from various fields, such as clinical documentation and epidemiology.
2. The 1960 to 2000 period saw the evolution of data analysis and computing. Health information management was facilitated through the development of electronic medical records systems. Such systems are vital for health information management since they provide real-time patient-centered records to authorized users (Collen & Ball, 2018).
3. There is the period from 2000 to the present where stakeholders have moved to digitize healthcare processes such as information sharing, record keeping, and care coordination.
Guidelines
There are several guidelines for technology use that Feather fall could implement in health information management. For starters, the medical staff should get the relevant training required to utilize the technology to facilitate the effective acquisition, analysis, and protection of patient information. Training ensures they can tackle any challenges they may encounter to collect accurate data and analyze it in a way that benefits patients. Additionally, the medical staff needs to ensure that the devices they use are beyond the reach of unauthorized individuals. This is crucial in promoting patient confidentiality/privacy and securing pertinent data does not get into the wrong hands (Ozair et al., 2018). Finally, medical practitioners should provide feedback about their experiences to ensure that the technology they use can be improved in the future.
Standard Technologies
There are various standard technologies used in health information management. For starters, concerning record keeping, some of the traditional EHR technologies include Epic Systems and Meditech. Many institutions use these two systems due to their departmental functionality and extensive usability. RingCentral Video is a standard technology for videoconferencing that facilitates open communication and interactive communications among healthcare providers. Different practitioners can share information and work together in real-time to facilitate effective patient care. Finally, there is the use of Vendor-Neutral Archives (VNAs) and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) when it comes to processing and storing the medical images of patients (Sirota-Cohen et al., 2019).
How Roles at Feather fall Interact with Technology
The pertinent roles at Feather fall would interact with technology through a simple but effective communication system that ensures all users can get the most out of the health management technologies on offer. Currently, the staff members have poor training and no means of effe ...

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

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.
