The document provides a summary of recent macroeconomic trends and healthcare news. It notes that while consumer and business confidence has slipped recently, most Americans remain happy. It also highlights that the largest demographic of social network users and healthcare consumers is now those aged 36+ rather than the traditional 25-54 group. The document aims to keep readers informed on the latest trends, research and innovations in healthcare delivery models.
The document provides an overview of recent macro trends in healthcare, including:
- Healthcare spending in the US reached $8,100 per person in 2009 and continues to rise faster than inflation. Most hospitals are preparing for thinner margins as reimbursement shifts toward government programs.
- Consumer and business confidence slipped in the latest data, though Americans remain largely happy. The majority of social media users are now age 36+, up from younger demographics.
- The healthcare market remains very attractive for investment due to its size and projected growth. However, rising costs are driving providers and payers to collaborate more through models like accountable care organizations.

Technology is disrupting healthcare just as it has in so many other areas of life. New players and
new approaches are proliferating but while the changes may seem dazzlingly diverse there is a single, underlying driving force. Digital transformation in healthcare has many elements: health data privacy, ethical AI, IOT solutions, many brought to the market by new disruptors. These are all valuable elements of transformation, but ultimately they are steering to a single goal; empathetic care of
the empowered patient. In this increasingly patient-centric future it is the empathetic care, not the technology itself, that will prove to be the outstanding feature. The market leaders in this landscape will be those who embrace and explore its possibilities.
Living in a hyper-connected world, patients have never been so well informed or had so much decision- making power, at least when it comes to chronic diseases. Less dependent on their doctors for advice, increasingly able and willing to take greater control of their own health, they feel empowered by the vast amount of health information available online, on apps, and by the array of health and fitness wearables.
Such consumer digital empowerment is pushing rapid change in healthcare provision. Industry leaders across providers, insurers, medical technology and the pharmaceuticals industry, need to re-imagine
the traditional spectrum of sales, marketing and commercialisation processes by developing empathetic engagement tools to accompany and support the patient on their personal journey. This digital transformation imperative becomes a huge challenge because of the complexity of the industry ecosystem and the varying models in APAC.
With widely varying reimbursement and access challenges across APAC countries, coupled with diverse social and cultural norms, it is important for pharma, insurance, and healthcare providers to work together with partners who have local, real-world expertise when it comes to understanding patient behaviours. Together those partnerships can deliver solutions that will impact patient lives positively. Across APAC the opportunities are considerable with a huge growing market for medication and care, but there are also significant cultural and financial hurdles to the uptake of treatments.

This document discusses several factors contributing to the high cost of healthcare in the United States, with a focus on prescription drug pricing. It notes that spending on prescription drugs has risen rapidly in recent decades and that pharmaceutical companies have high profit margins. Other key drivers of rising healthcare costs mentioned include chronic diseases like diabetes, spending on hospital services and medications to treat diseases, and health risk behaviors. The document also examines proposals to lower drug costs and the debate around pharmaceutical industry practices like drug price increases, marketing spending, mergers and acquisitions, and shareholder profits.
This survey of 245 physicians found that an increasing majority now want more traditional pharmaceutical sales representatives visiting them. For primary care physicians, over 50% now want more visits from primary care representatives, the first time a majority have indicated this preference. Physicians also want more specialty representatives and various types of nontraditional representatives. However, they expect representatives to bring high-quality information, including clinical studies and evidence-based medicine. Physicians want helpful disease and product websites as well as virtual and on-demand information, sampling, and support. Their top priority is helping patients access needed medicines and supporting patients, so representatives must communicate effectively to serve these patient-focused needs.

2011/2012 Always Event℠ Challenge Grant Recipient Project OverviewsPicker Institute, Inc.
This document summarizes grant recipients for the 2011/2012 Picker Institute Always Events Challenge. It includes summaries of 11 recipient organizations that will implement Always Events focused on improving patient-centered care and care transitions. The Always Events involve enhancing medication safety education, ensuring patients know their care team members, improving communication during care handoffs, and other initiatives aimed at putting patients at the center of their care.
Someone has a heart attack every 34 seconds in the US. The Directional Health Platform aims to develop new channels for patient engagement and education to reduce healthcare costs. It plans to place low-cost Android tablets running its app in emergency room waiting rooms to encourage at-risk patients to complete a cardiac risk assessment while waiting, in exchange for internet or media access. This could screen many uninsured and higher-risk patients. The app will refer patients to physicians in each hospital's system. Revenue sharing and add-on services will make the program self-sustaining.
The document discusses a new mobile health platform called Directional Health that aims to screen at-risk individuals for heart attacks. It plans to place Android tablets running its application in emergency room waiting rooms, where 79.7% of patients report a lack of access to primary care. The application will offer individuals free internet access in exchange for completing a cardiac risk assessment. It has partnered with a hospital serving over 100,000 ER visits annually to test this approach. Directional Health expects this strategy to be self-sustaining through advertising revenue sharing and add-on services to partner hospitals and physicians.
The document describes the Directional Health Platform, a touchscreen application that uses questionnaires and maps to encourage at-risk individuals to get screened for heart attacks. It uses email and text reminders to follow up with incomplete assessments. The application has a modern interface, supports multiple languages, and displays local screening areas on maps. It also incorporates social features and contests to motivate participation. The goal is to use the application in emergency room waiting rooms to better engage patients and provide health education materials.
This document discusses Picker Institute's Always Events® Research Agenda which provides matching grants to support projects that demonstrate how the Always Events® concept of aspects of patient experience that should always occur can be implemented in healthcare settings. It provides an overview of 21 initiatives funded through the program focused on improving patient- and family-centered care, including ensuring families understand ICU patient outcomes, incorporating patients in hospital handoffs, improving the discharge process, and facilitating kangaroo care in the NICU.
The document provides guidance for healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience through quality improvement projects. It outlines a three-phase process: planning, executing, and reflecting. The planning phase involves creating a "blueprint for success" which identifies the priority area, leadership team, aims, deliverables, scope, sponsor, and expectations. It emphasizes establishing effective multidisciplinary teams that include patients. The executing phase provides strategies, tools, and tips for implementing ideas. The reflecting phase involves analyzing current processes and identifying opportunities for change. The document aims to guide organizations through each step to achieve successful quality improvement.

The document discusses healthcare costs and reforms in the United States. It provides an overview of Austin Regional Clinic, including the number of patients, locations, physicians, and specialties. It then discusses various challenges facing the US healthcare system like the costs as a percentage of GDP, the Affordable Care Act, deficits, uninsured Americans, increasing costs, and sustainability issues. Alternative payment models like accountable care organizations and medical homes are presented as ways to better manage costs for high-risk populations through care coordination and preventive care. The challenges of transitioning payments from fee-for-service to these alternative models is also noted.
Leadership austin presentation chenven april 24 2015_ppAnnieAustin
Norman Chenven, founder and CEO of Austin Regional Clinic, presented on healthcare costs and reforms to the Leadership Austin program. Austin Regional Clinic serves over 350,000 patients across 21 locations with 1,750 employees including 335 physicians. Chenven discussed the unsustainable growth of healthcare costs, key provisions and uncertainties of the Affordable Care Act, and strategies to shift payments from fee-for-service to models emphasizing quality and value through accountable care organizations and medical homes.
1) The presentation discusses various considerations for leading a healthcare organization from 2013-2018, including the integration of technology and data, the influence of consumers, and opportunities to improve efficiency.
2) Several types of companies are discussed that will play roles in the healthcare marketplace, including "fixers" that simplify the system, "implementers" that assist with regulations, and "connectors" that link information.
3) Technology is transforming healthcare through increased online health information, use of mobile apps, and tools that empower patients to better manage chronic conditions.
Should healthcare be more digitized? Absolutely. But if we go about it the wrong way... or the naïve way... we will take two steps forward and three steps back.
In this 90-minute webinar, Dale Sanders, President of Technology at Health Catalyst describes the right way to go about the technical digitization of healthcare so that it increases the sense of humanity during the journey.
The topics Dale covers include:
• The human, empathetic components of healthcare’s digitization strategy
• The AI-enabled healthcare encounter in the near future
• Why the current digital approach to patient engagement will never be effective
• The dramatic near-term potential of bio-integrated sensors
• Role of the “digitician” and patient data profiles
• The technology and architecture of a modern digital platform
• The role of AI vs. the role of traditional data analysis in healthcare
• Reasons that home grown digital platforms will not scale, economically
Most of the data that’s generated in healthcare is about administrative overhead of healthcare, not about the current state of patients’ well-being. On average, healthcare collects data about patients three times per year from which providers are expected to optimize diagnoses, treatments, predict health risks and cultivate long-term care plans. Where’s the data about patients’ health from the other 362 days per year?
McKinsey ranks industries based on their Digital Quotient (DQ), which is derived from a cross product of three areas: Data Assets x Data Skills x Data Utilization. Healthcare ranks lower than all industries except mining. It’s time for healthcare to raise its digital quotient, however, it’s a delicate balance. The current “data-driven” strategy in healthcare is a train wreck, sucking the life out of clinicians’ sense of mastery, autonomy, and purpose.
Healthcare’s digital strategy has largely ignored the digitization of patients’ state of health, but that’s changing, and the change will be revolutionary. Driven by bio-integrated sensors and affordable genomics, in the next five years, many patients will possess more data and AI-driven insights about their diagnosis and treatment options than healthcare systems, turning the existing dialogue with care providers on its head. It’s going to happen. Let’s make it happen the right way.
Professor Enthoven: Integrated delivery systemsNuffield Trust
The document discusses integrated delivery systems and their key characteristics. Integrated systems have shared values and goals, aligned financial incentives through a common revenue stream, physician leadership, and a management structure. They provide comprehensive medical records, shared practice guidelines, and seek to provide most or all of a patient's care within the system in a patient-centered, team-based approach. The benefits of integrated systems include improved health outcomes, more efficient resource use, better coordination of care across settings, and a focus on preventive health.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
