The healthcare delivery model is being transformed and each stakeholder has an integral part to play in its much needed success. Healthcare delivery organizations, payers, and employers have typically shouldered much of this responsibility, and now patients are being added to the mix as their consumer influence and purchasing power grows. Porter Research President Cynthia Porter will explore this evolution and the industry trends that have turned previously backseat patients into some of healthcare's most powerful drivers.

Using technology-enabled social prescriptions to disrupt healthcareDr Sven Jungmann
As chronic diseases are increasingly straining healthcare systems, social factors are gaining importance. Since the birth of social medicine (19th century), we saw many failed attempts to beat the dominance of the biomedical model. Social prescriptions have come, raising hopes that non-biomedical solutions will improve outcomes and optimise resource use. Social Prescriptions connect citizens to support to address social determinants of health and encourage self-care for physical and mental health. Social prescriptions can make us healthier cheaper and with fewer side effects than most drugs. Social prescriptions can become a disruptive force as they can be personalised, improve lifestyle-related diseases, and support non-biomedical issues affected by social determinants of health.

Accountable Care Organizations and The Medicare Shared Savings ProgramPhytel
Population Health Management, Enabled by Information Technology, Will Be Critical To Success. In 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will launch a shared-savings program with accountable care organizations (ACOs). ACOs that meet specified quality goals will be able to split with CMS any savings that surpass a minimum level. The challenge facing ACOs is choosing the right information technologies so they can track the health status of and the care provided to every one of their patients to produce significant savings or meet the quality benchmarks of CMS
How to Manage Population Health Effectively in Accountable Care OrganizationsPhytel
The Affordable Care Act authorized a Medicare shared-savings program for accountable care organizations, and private payers are also contracting with ACOs. To succeed, ACOs must learn how to manage population health effectively.
Managed Care within Health Care covers a variety of information from nursing homes, policies, Medical, Medicare, out of pocket, and partial payment, management, contracts, government, and the Social Security State Fund. Within this working paper I will discuss a few of these mechanisms that are applied and utilized within ‘Managed Care’ today. A system within a system that brings in 25% of the United States debt.
Healthcare systems around the world are fraught with challenges that reveal the cracks in today's operating models. But a nascent trend that is quickly becoming an imperative is poised to transform the industry: the consumerization of healthcare. By promoting and supporting more control, awareness, and responsibility on the part of the consumer, healthcare companies can drive a dramatic improvement in population health and reduction in costs.
A look at the trends, populations and products at play.
More questions than answers face a health industry in flux grappling with new meanings of cost, value, compliance and care delivery. Different stakeholder groups offer up different answers as they accelerate to keep pace with medical innovation. Providers, payers and businesses serving healthcare are being asked to incorporate and act on new data, integrate with new platforms and pioneer new offerings to create an increasingly accessible, connected experience. What’s driving the adaptation, and what trends are worth acting on?
In July 2018, NITI Aayog published a Strategy and Approach document on the National Health Stack. The document underscored the need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and laid down the technology framework for implementing the Ayushman Bharat programme which is meant to provide UHC to the bottom 500 million of the country. While the Health Stack provides a technological backbone for delivering affordable healthcare to all Indians, we, at iSPIRT, believe that it has the potential to go beyond that and to completely transform the healthcare ecosystem in the country. We are indeed headed for a health leapfrog in India! Over the last few months, we have worked extensively to understand the current challenges in the industry as well as the role and design of individual components of the Health Stack. In this post, we elaborate on the leapfrog that will be enabled by blending this technology with care delivery.

The cost of healthcare and the associated dollar signs connected to it has kept a certain number of patients away from seeing a doctor when needed. The creation of Managed Care Organizations exists to deal with the exorbitant prices associated with seeing a healthcare provider and actually decreasing costs while increasing the level of care (Nikitas et al, 2020). The common thread is the network of providers that exists within each network that agrees to provide care for the policy holders for an agreed price. Among the Managed Care Organizations are three plans known as Health Maintenance Organization (HMO’s), Preferred Provider Organization(PPO’s), and Point-Of-Service Plan (POS). The structure of HMO’s exists as a network of hospitals, doctors and providers that usually only pay for care in the network visits. These have lower premiums the insured must use a provider within the network that is their Primary Care Physician (PCP). In addition, referrals must be obtained from the PCPs for visits to specialists within the network (healthy.kaiserpermanente.org, 2022) Membership is generally required in the form of employment or one who lives in the area of coverage. With an associated higher cost is the PPO’s. They will allow for visits to in or out of network providers as well as cost of fee coverage for visiting those out of network providers, generally covered by the increased monthly premiums and out of pocket costs (healthy.kaiserpermanente.org, 2022). The third plan being mentioned here is the Point-Of-Service Plan (POS). This is considered a hybrid of plans which allows for the insured to make decisions to see who they want as a provider without first obtaining prior approval. With regard to a plan that works best for the consumer, the HMO plan is one where the nurse within the system is most connected to the providers and the case files allowing for a seamless connection with provider to facility. The other two plans have steps between each provider and information can be lost in the shuffle. The position of nurses working within the healthcare system allows them an opportunity to help keep health costs down via means of self aud.

Value-Based Purchasing and the Role of Home Care TechnologyAlayaCare
While shifting financial models is a major challenge facing healthcare, we can safely assume where that shift is heading. As it stands, there continues to be a paucity of good evidence as to how to run an effective Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program, and definitive metrics on how it can lead to better outcomes. Thus, this shift is underway filled with far more expectations than answers.
With this guide will you learn how your home care agency can prepare, adapt and thrive in a value-based purchasing landscape with the help of modern home care technology.

Population health
Population health was one of the biggest ideas in healthcare this past year, and it will likely
maintain or gain momentum in the next few years to come. But despite the frequent use of the
term in the healthcare bubble, population health is a multidisciplinary concept to be shared
between public health agencies, social institutions and policymakers.
Hospitals fit in there somewhere. Defining that role is one of the ongoing challenges they will
face in 2015.
Hospitals\' demand for population health expertise overwhelms the supply. Nearly 60 percent of
health system and hospital CEOs ranked population health as the hardest skill set to find within
the broader healthcare field, according to a 2014 American Hospital Association survey. Further,
nearly half of executives polled identified community and population health management as a
talent gap within their organizations. Some health systems are filling this gap by creating new C-
suite positions: 10 percent of executives indicated their health system had a chief population
health manager.
Quantifying population health is another challenge. Although healthcare leaders need to think
creatively about how to improve the health of a geographic population, they should also maintain
a healthy sense of skepticism about population health efforts. What might seem like a much-
needed intervention on paper, such as a grocery store in a food desert, may be one small piece of
a multipronged solution. There are no silver bullets, after all. Amid excitement for population
health, systems may oversimplify problems and overinvest in solutions only to see the same
health outcomes.
To find success, hospital leaders may need to diminish their traditional reliance on \"programs\"
and instead focus more on partnerships with community organizations and nonprofits. Some
health systems still act as autonomously as they can, ignoring a wealth of expertise and
resources.
\"When we talk to other population health managers, they have unearthed a number of unique
challenges inside their populations, such as domestic violence, elder abuse and other public
health crises,\" says Jason Dinger, PhD, CEO of MissionPoint Health Partners in Nashville, the
accountable care organization affiliated with Saint Thomas Health. \"Unfortunately, most
respond by trying to implement their own unique program to respond to the issue. We usually
encourage them to first speak with the experts in their community who work on these issues
every day. In many cases these are nonprofit organizations that can add great value to the
population health effort but often have trouble engaging and integrating with a health system\'s
efforts.\"
Shifting from volume- to value-based reimbursement
The move from volume- to value-based reimbursement is inevitable. For now, it\'s a matter of
how quickly providers should make it.
Move too fast, and hospitals risk los.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

“I spend a lot of time with payers and providers, and whether
or not you are on this side or that side of the debate, change is
going to happen,” says Reynolds. “Medical Home is one example
of that change. The focus is on providing care holistically and all
the incentives are built to encourage that the information flows
seamlessly amongst the professionals involved. Providers and
organizations will be expected to work proactively together to
ensure that the patient has a more unified experience.”

4. According to Reynolds, the concept of Accountable Care is
another important aspect of new legislation to consider. “If you go
one step past Medical Home, you start having an entire organization
being held accountable for all the patients that they see. Proposed
legislation stipulates seamless delivery of high-quality care for
Medicare beneficiaries and the scope includes group practices,
hospitals and hospitals in partnership with those practices. The
activities of hospitals, doctors and insurers will be viewed together;
whereas today they are most often regarded separately.”

Reform legislation is also poised to change the current payment
structure for hospitals and providers and, according to Reynolds,
this will be a significant change from the status quo.
“Going forward, there will be one payment, usually to the hospital,
that will be split amongst the practitioners and organizations
involved,” says Reynolds. “The new legislation also stipulates
that if a patient leaves a hospital and is readmitted for that same
reason within 30 days it will be the responsibility of the hospital
to cover that additional expense; the government won’t pay for
it again.”

5. Improving Care, Reducing Costs
Healthcare reform legislation is focused on improving care and
reducing costs. Insurance and healthcare companies can respond
to the implications in two ways: with great efficiency or with great
inefficiency. Understanding the following will have a direct
bearing on your ability to navigate the transition.
Medical Home
The concept of the patient-centered Medical Home model is an
approach to providing comprehensive primary care that facilitates
partnerships between patients and medical providers.
The aim of the Medical Home model is to improve access
to care, increase patient satisfaction with the care received
and ultimately, improve the health of patients. The idea
behind legislation is that every American should have a
“personal Medical Home” through which to receive services
and that those services should be “accessible, accountable,
comprehensive, integrated, patient-centered and satisfying to
both patients and their physicians.”
Guiding Smarter Interactions in Healthcare Reform 4/18
6. With the current economic challenges facing the United
States, it is easy to see why the move to a patient-centered
Medical Home approach has become a cornerstone to new
legislation. One study estimated that if recommendations were
followed, healthcare costs would likely decrease by 5.6%, resulting
in a national savings of $67 billion dollars per year. Indeed, in
2006—before healthcare reform stepped into the national
spotlight—industry leaders including IBM and others started the
Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative to promote the
Medical Home model. Membership includes some 500 large
employers, insurers, consumer groups and doctors.
Accountable Care
On March 31, 2011, the Department of Health and Human
Services released proposed rules to help doctors, hospitals and
other providers better coordinate care for Medicare patients
through Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). The goal of
an ACO is to deliver seamless, high-quality care for Medicare
beneficiaries, and incentives are designed to encourage healthcare
providers to work together to treat an individual patient across
care settings—including doctors’ offices, hospitals and long-term
care facilities.

and it would be based on meeting common core performance

transition to global payment within five years, during which
“shared savings” would serve as an interim payment model to
help providers become more familiar with global payment with
reduced exposure to risk.

Intelligent Guidance easily surpasses conventional scripting
and walks you through every step of even the most complicated
interactions based on the context of the interaction. All of this
happens automatically in real time, insulating personnel from the
mundane tasks that can compromise the flow of information and
the quality of the experience. This enables multi-tiered interactions
where non-medical personnel are now able to provide triage-level
interactions, such as reminding a patient to take medicine.

and resources for a specific patient or member. It provides a
single view of data from multiple information systems, including
CRM, HIM, patient management, billing, EMR/EHR and other
supporting applications. Information is presented in a clean,
tab-driven format that adjusts dynamically so you never have to
toggle back and forth among multiple windows.
Seamless, cross-channel continuity – Today’s hyperlinked business
environment combined with the demands of healthcare reform
will require companies to have more continuity across multiple
channels of communication. The Synchrony desktop offers a
single interface for all customer interaction channels, including
phone, e-mail, IM/chat, fax and the web. During every interaction,
you can see the patient or member’s complete contact history.
Synchrony uses this history to guide the current interaction and
ensures a seamless, continuous experience no matter what touch
points are used.

13. Personalized, success-based routing – Synchrony tracks the
results of every interaction, prompts and escalates follow-up
actions and automatically generates personalized correspondence
and documents. It can be configured to route incoming calls
based on the success rates of individual employees in handling
the type of call, the patient or member’s demographic information
and the employee’s previous outcomes with similar customers.
“Decisions are not going to get easier,” says Reynolds. “More
complex decisions are going to need to be guided through to
a resolution. This guidance will need to be personalized and
across all channels.”
