Learning Objectives
After reviewing the presentation, viewers should be able to:
Identify the origins of consumer health informatics (CHI)
Discuss consumer health informatics tools
Enumerate the features and format of personal health records
Identify patient to physician electronic communication tools
Outline CHI barriers and challenges
Discuss future trends of CHI
Clearly, consumers (patients) are interested in technology as a means to improve access to medical care, improve communication with physicians and others and generally streamline the healthcare process
Consumer health informatics emerged with the confluence of widespread availability of the Internet and online information resources with the consumer movement that aimed to empower those who were ill (patients) and not yet ill (consumers) with information to maintain and improve their health as well as engage in the treatment of their disease
Introduction
Origins of CHI
Creation of the Internet in 1994 opened the door to consumers searching for medical information
Chronic diseases are on the rise and the population is aging; thereby increasing the need for more information and more tools
It has been known for over a decade that consumers want access to their health information online. A study by Deloitte in 2008 found that 60% of individuals surveyed wanted physicians to provide online access to their medical records and test results as well as online appointment scheduling
e-Health Era
Consumers want to interact directly with the healthcare system online
One important consumer health application is the personal health record (PHR)
The Markle Foundation provided an early definition of PHR in 2004, defining it as “an electronic application through which individuals can access, manage, and share their health information, and that of others for whom they are authorized, in a private, secure, and confidential environment”
Tang 2006 categorized three types of PHRs:
The tethered PHR, which is an extension of the healthcare provider’s EHR
The standalone PHR, which is an isolated application. It may be on a mobile device or a website
The interconnected or integrated PHR. This is a separate application, but it has the ability to interact with one or possibly more provider EHRs.
Types of PHR
The tethered PHR
Patient Access to EHR
OpenNotes aims to provide patients with access to the entirety of their medical record, including clinical notes (Delbanco 2010). OpenNotes was initially implemented in three academic centers across the US
There is growing consensus that patients should be the owners and stewards of their personal health and healthcare data (Hersh 2017). Current systems do not facilitate this point of view, as data is for the most part stored in the siloed EHR and other systems of the places where they obtain care.
Health information technology (Health IT) is an area of information technology that includes the design, development, creation, use and maintenance of information systems for the healthcare industry. Automated and compatible healthcare information systems will continue to improve healthcare and healthcare, reduce costs, increase efficiency, reduce errors and increase patient satisfaction, and optimize cost recovery for outpatient and inpatient health care providers.

Patient Monitoring Technology
Advancements in the technology of Electronic Health Records have been on the rise since the inception of information technology. One of the most recent technological developments in the healthcare industry is patient monitoring technology. The article selected was titled “Data overload, access and affordability limit patient monitoring technology.” The rationale behind choosing this topic is to understand the importance of patient monitoring technology in healthcare today. As they are relatively new to the market, few books have been written about the various patient monitoring technologies available. This paper investigates their impact on the healthcare industry, the advantages, and disadvantages of their use, as well as any futuristic recommendations on the technology to healthcare practitioners (Mohammadzadeh & Sadfari, 2014). Even though most physicians are aware of the benefits associated with the use of patient monitoring technology, many shy away due to the numerous glitches in access, high costs associated with its use, and the threat of data overload.
Patient monitoring technology has a huge positive impact on the healthcare industry. The technology is used heavily for the remote tracking of major cardiovascular diseases, which cause close to 30% of the deaths in the world yearly. The diseases are triggered by various issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, as well as excessive consumption of alcohol (Darvish et al., 2014). Current patient monitoring technology is able to track the necessary healthcare metrics to determine if they are in danger, including cardiac output, blood pressure, amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood, body temperature, and heart activity. This technology has proven crucial for healthcare providers, as it helps them monitor the patients when they are out of their usual environment.
Even though the technology is more likely to have a positive i ...

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
