This document presents opposing viewpoints on whether doctors should purchase an electronic medical record (EMR) system now. On the "point" side, Dr. Gregory Hood argues that now is not the time for an EMR purchase, as it requires significant time and resources to implement properly. Adopting an EMR solely for financial incentives may not be worthwhile. On the "counterpoint" side, Dr. Joseph Scherger argues that now is the time for doctors to purchase an EMR to take advantage of government stimulus funds, improved affordability, and the need to adopt EMRs as the new standard of care.

Dr Bonnie Cheuk IDC Future of Work Keynote: Workforce Transformation Human Ma...Bonnie Cheuk
Dr Bonnie Cheuk, AstraZeneca Digital Transformation & Global Capability Leader (Learning Culture and Learning Agility), delivered a keynote at IDC Future of Work Conference on 3 Mar 2020. She provoked the audience to go beyond the hype, and think deeper on how human and AI and data-driven Machine collaborate together.
These 3 questions were discussed:
1. How should human and machine collaborate? What skills are required?
2. Will machines replace (most) jobs?
3. Will there be new jobs to enable human-machine collaboration?
Drawing on Dervin's Sense-Making Methodology, Bonnie reminded us that human beings are not robotic machines. Human beings have feelings, experience, we are both scientists and artists, we are analytics and we are emotional.
Bonnie asked the audience how would you like to build a high performance team? Who do you want to put in the team? Do you want everyone to have the same strength, same skills? Or would you pick a team making up of players who can complement one another, and can bring out the best of one another. So in order to propose how human and machine should collaborate in the future of work, it is useful to first ask: what is the strength of human beings? What is the strength of the machine? We need to understanding how AI-driven machines learn vs how human beings learned, and play to one another's strength. And what is the strength of human? It is being human. Let the machine handle the deductive reasoning, the data-driven predictions, repetitive tasks. Let the humans do what we do well, adapting, navigating the unknown, use our human skills, promote collective sense making to make judgement, decisions. And free up the time to allow us to learn, create and innovate.
Bonnie highlighted that there are many unknowns as to how AI will be further developed, and there are ethical issues and risks that have to be addressed, and there are no precedents to follow. Collective human sense making is critical to bring out multiple perspectives from different stakeholders, to co-create AI-driven machines that human beings can trust, and to collectively address tricky ethical issues early on. Dervin’s Sense-Making Metaphor is introduced to facilitate two-way dialogue, to address power issues, and to explore common and divergent views to build common understanding of potential challenges, and co-create solutions to address them.

Getting Beyond the Hype of “Disrupting Healthcare” and Focusing on Actionable...Shahid Shah
This was a Keynote Address I gave at Healthcare Unbound 2013 and focused on what’s needed for healthcare technology innovation in a value- and outcomes-driven model.
There’s a ton of hype surrounding disruptive technology innovation in healthcare but nothing is truly making a dent in the healthcare sector the same way as disruptions have occurred in other major segments of our economy. The slow but sure march from Fee For Service Based Care to Outcomes Driven Care has certainly started but it’s neither fast enough nor substantial enough to bend the cost curve or improve value to patients in the short term.
This presentation discusses how we can get beyond the hype by focusing on actionable innovation. Specifically, I answered the following questions:
* What does innovation in healthcare mean?
* Where are the major areas in healthcare where innovation is required?
Important takeaways this session included:
* Understand PBU: Payer vs. Benefiter vs. User
* Understand why healthcare businesses buy stuff so you can build the right thing

The document discusses quality management in anesthesia practices. It introduces the Anesthesia Incident Reporting System (AIRS), which allows providers to anonymously report unintended events or "near misses" that did not harm patients but had potential to. Near misses provide teaching opportunities at morbidity and mortality conferences. Mature practices encourage self-reporting of near misses through online forms or other methods. Reported cases are reviewed to identify those with educational value for discussing key decision points with the goal of improving patient safety.
This document discusses partnering for success in healthcare IT leadership. It provides strategies for building trusted relationships, embracing change, and shifting the focus from technology management to strategic business partnerships. Approaches include being open, a problem solver, agile, and willing to empower teams and make difficult decisions. The changing role of the healthcare IT leader is also addressed, such as anticipating change, having strong change management skills, and developing a broad industry network to address challenges from resistors. The overall message is that partnership, communication, and adaptability are key for healthcare IT leaders to successfully guide their organizations through a rapidly changing environment.
This document discusses strategies for improving life insurance underwriting processes.

Diabetes therapies and technology: implications for doctors and patientsHealthXn
This document summarizes a presentation on diabetes therapies and technology. The presentation discusses:
- The promise and pitfalls of emerging diabetes technologies and ensuring patient safety.
- How the roles of health professionals and patients may change with more connected health solutions and data access.
- The importance of balancing positive and negative hype around new technologies to manage patient expectations.
- Ensuring privacy and security as health data becomes more connected while still providing high-touch patient care.
Bluetooth low energy technology allows for simple health monitoring devices to connect to apps and the internet, making mobile health a realistic option for consumers. However, mHealth faces challenges in finding successful business models, as it will likely cost more than traditional healthcare, doctors may resist losing control, and many patients just want quick fixes rather than ongoing involvement in their health. Some potential models include engaging interested patients to provide feedback, targeting consumers worried about health, or directly monitoring and dispensing medications to bypass doctors. Overall, the mHealth industry needs business models that think like patients rather than doctors.

This document provides a foreword for "The Advanced Business of Medical Practice" book. It discusses the challenges facing physicians today and how information technology and creativity can help address these challenges. Several examples are provided of physicians innovatively using tools like Microsoft Access, Word, and PowerPoint to create electronic medical record systems and other solutions to problems in their practices. The foreword emphasizes that while pressures on doctors are high, so are their problem-solving abilities and willingness to find new ways of using technology to better serve patients.
This document provides an overview of the emerging Direct Primary Care (DPC) medical practice model. DPC charges monthly fees directly to patients, rather than billing insurance, in exchange for primary care services. The history of DPC is traced back to the late 1990s when some practices in Seattle began adopting this model. Key principles of DPC include a direct financial relationship with patients, increased time with providers, accessibility, and avoiding incentives of fee-for-service billing. The document examines several early DPC organizations, regulatory issues, perspectives of payers and consumers, and how technology supports the DPC model.
This document proposes building a shared medical data repository and expert system to help reduce misdiagnoses. The key points are:
1. Misdiagnoses occur in up to 15% of cases due to testing or clinician errors, with many resulting in death, disability or prolonged illness.
2. The proposal is to create a shared database of patient records, images, and test results that can be analyzed by expert systems to recommend possible diagnoses.
3. Existing technologies like IBM Watson show promise in processing patient symptoms and test results to suggest diagnoses, but a unified patient record system is still lacking.

1. I agree that the changes made with CMS (center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) how changed the guidelines for how providers can bill for services. One of the biggest changes was the upgrade of ICD codes which has expanded enormously to be more specific with diagnosis and services to bill for. I work for a program of hospice, called palliative care, and the change over from using ICD9 codes to ICD10 was a very large task that took time to switch over to but I have come to realize that changes in health care are inevitable and to be prepared for things to change constantly. With being a palliative care program I don't think the change was as big of an impact on us like I'm sure it was for a hospital. Our program provides education on disease progress for chronic illnesses such a chronic kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and so on. The amount of ICD 10 codes we use are minimal compared to what a hospital would see. Nonetheless the codes are way more specific now which can be challenging when trying to narrow down for accuracy.
2. I think training and feedback are two important aspects of implementing electronic medical records. The users are the most important stakeholders and they should be trained properly. Their feedback should be taken seriously as this helps with post implementation changes to the system. No one likes changes but change in any organization is essential. Technology has completely transformed the health care industry and from my experience resistance typically comes from the older generation who doesn't really understand the importance. Most are used to doing things manually. Most organizations are turning to the technology to transform their environment by cutting costs and ensuring that their revenues are coming in timely.

Why does Amazon knows me better than my doctor? Capstrat
This document discusses how Amazon provides better customer service than the healthcare system by knowing customers well and sharing information transparently, while healthcare provides poor service by not proactively sharing medical information with patients. It notes barriers to improving healthcare service including lack of familiarity with online health resources, trust in doctors over other sources, and reluctance of consumers and doctors to accept change. However, it also outlines some signs of progress through the growth of online health information and tools from insurers, and possibilities for the future such as remote care, group appointments, and effects of healthcare reform.
This document discusses the Medical Home model of primary care that aims to improve healthcare quality and reduce costs. Key points:
- The Medical Home model shifts primary care from episodic visits to long-term patient-physician relationships and holistic care management using technology like electronic health records.
- Early pilots show promise with cost savings of up to 11% and improved quality of care.
- Widespread adoption faces challenges of transforming medical practice culture and gaining insurance reimbursement changes, but advocates hope the new Obama administration will advance this model.
1) The document discusses how healthcare culture must change to effectively adopt electronic health records (EHRs) and personal health records (PHRs).
2) Migrating from paper-based to electronic records is a "wicked problem" due to differing views among stakeholders and changing constraints.
3) An iterative approach considering people, processes, and platforms together is needed to solve complex problems in healthcare and drive innovation through technology.

Systems Oriented Design
What is healthcare in the future? Design itself is an important power to make the healthcare system change a lot.
This project is aimed at exploring the future healthcare service in system thinking to make a holistic process and assumption of future system. Cardiovascular patients is a biggest group in the world. I hope working with this group can bring a lot of inspiration for other healthcare issue. In this project, I use strategy design, service design and interaction design method to create a hotlist service for cardiovascular patients out of the hospital. Nowadays a lot of people are suffering from longterm diseases and having high risk of cardiovascular. The food is a good way to address this problem. The meaning of the food and medicine are changing. The longterm medicine cause a mental problem at the beginning. The industry of medicine are struggling with their development, The goal of this project is to discuss the touchpoint food and medicine to address all the problems here, using system design methodology.

It discusses challenges in translating data insights into action, and the need for collaboration between data scientists and medical professionals like nurses. Nurses understand healthcare interventions and how to improve patient outcomes, while data scientists create models but lack clinical expertise. The author provides their toolbox for finding opportunities and communicating skills to facilitate collaborations that leverage both data science and clinical knowledge.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
1. The Business Case for DxSocial's SMART Matching of Patients and Doctors Using Electronic Medical Records
2. “ DxSocial is like Match.com for patients and providers. Patients are matched to doctors who have treated similar patients. These doctors are more likely to solve their problems. “ It's a big plus for public health and consumer-driven healthcare. But the biggest winner could be managed care. Matching these resources more intelligently will reduce doctor shopping and the costs of unnecessary diagnostics and procedures. “ Like any innovation it seems like a no-brainer now. But it's not being done yet. I suffered with the old system and I want to change it.” – Alec Permison, DxSocial Founder Web Developer, and Former HMO Patient
