Embracing Technology, a Clear Path to Preventing Hospital Transfers
Recent studies on the use of telehealth services within skilled nursing facilities have shown that arming staff members with 24/7 access to physicians can decrease hospitalizations by up to 11% depending on the level of engagement of the facility. Given the upcoming changes that CMS will be implementing over the next few years in regards to ratings and payout incentives, skilled nursing facilities and care providers should start to look at proven ways they can implement to improve their outcomes now.
During ‘Embracing Technology, a Clear Path to Preventing Hospital Transfers,’ RelyMD Co-Founder and Director of Virtual Health, Dr. Bobby Park explains how telemedicine can help skilled nursing facilities:
• keep their residents healthier and happier
• reduce potentially avoidable hospital readmissions
• attract new residents to their facility & gain buy-in from their family members
• reduce empty beds and save on reimbursements
• and more...
In this session, learn how a telemedicine provider would work with your facility and staff members as an additional provider of care for all of your residents.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Examples of healthcare patients (78-year-old diabetic v. 25-year-old adventurist)
We became entrepreneurs focused on this area after 20+ years in the ER watching a broken system
A lot of companies have taken on this problem by focusing on trying to change physician behavior, shave basis points off same cost structure, control people
We took a different approach, we realized that we needed disruptive change to make a differenceBy focusing on the patient, turning them into a consumer, and building a more interactive process for understanding, seeking, and relating about healthcare, this problem can effectively be addressedWe realized that for the first time, people would start to carry around mobile computing devices and that this could allow a solution to actually work

But, it’s really no just about getting information anymore. WebMD, for instance, has been providing health information online for years now. But today’s mHealth world is now about technology helping people take action on that information and solve problems. - even in the healthcare space.Research shows that 81% of people polled want to make appointments online.And, according to the Mobile Market Association, 70% of all mobile searches result in action within 1 hour. (Mobile Market Association)
As soon as we realized what was happening in the mobile space, we started building our solutionNow why is this disruptive, hasn’t the patient been the focus of Healthcare for years
History of medicine has not included the patient in the process, or educated the patient effectively
By creating transparency, we can achieve empowerment, by creating empowerment, we can affect behavior, by affecting behavior, we can provide better outcomes, by providing better outcomes, we create the feedback loop that drives reinforces the entire loop. Net result is a better educated consumer, in a better marketplace
AARP study, themore activated a patient, the less likely they were toexperience a negative health outcome such as readmittance to the hospital or a medical error.Patient engagement consistently predicts hospital performance on an array of crucial business outcomes, including EBITA per adjusted admission and net revenue per adjusted admission.Chronically ill patients who have email relationships with their doctors correlate with:Higher trustBetter HEDIS outcomes
We are betting on human nature improving efficiencies in a marketplace, but this is not a leap of faith, there are other great examples of this (Expedia, ebay, eTrade)

In the music business, they say “It all begins with a song”. In medicine, we believed, ”It all begins with a symptom”
We believed that information alone would help “steer” patients, and consumers proved this to be true. When you make this actionable, and take the hassle factor out of going to the ER, finding an urgent care, or booking an apt with a physician, the impact is even greaterThe adoption by patients has grown significantly
Pathways concept a lot of work flows that patients try to navigate, and are very complex in healthcare, start with clinical information, and end in highly fragmented healthcare delivery systemiTriage created a simple system that started with a symptom, and ended wherever the patient needed to go, and allowed you to jump in at any point, but made it simple, trusted, and

The results have been impressiveSelf care searches – billions of data elementsInformational steerage – 19xAcute care efficiencies – 40% reduction in ER selection for non-urgent causesParticipation by healthcare providers - ~20% of the marketParticipation by Insurers – Acquisition by Aetna and charter to serve industry agnostically
. I don't think I have to remind anyone in this room that the Affordable Healthcare provisions go into effect next year, which means premiums and coverage are changing now. We are no longer in a fee-for-service world, and physicians now understand that the greatest business opportunities and the best business operations start with quality of care. If you look at Medicare and Medicaid for instance, the federal government is not reimbursing physicians for repeat service or visits within a certain period of time. MORE FROM PETE
