The document argues that in the transition, capturing clinical information digitally at the source using smart paper forms can realize many benefits without large-scale changes. In the long run, eliminating paper requires digital capture and display, but smart use of paper now can still digitize clinical content.
Hannah Armand - eHospital Head of Information Systems (outpatients), Cambridg...HIMSS UK
The document discusses Cambridge University Hospitals' (CUH) implementation of an electronic patient record (EPR) system called eHospital. It summarizes that CUH signed a 10-year contract in 2013 with Epic and Hewlett-Packard to implement the Epic EPR system trust-wide. The go-live of the new system occurred in October 2014. The implementation involved upgrading hardware, refreshing the IT infrastructure, extensive staff training, and configuring the EPR system to support all of CUH's clinical specialties and workflows. The summary discusses some of the challenges experienced during go-live and benefits that have been realized since implementation, such as improved patient safety, efficiencies, and staff satisfaction with the new system

Susan Aitkenhead - Head of Nursing, NHS EnglandHIMSS UK
This document outlines the development and launch of a new framework called "Leading Change, Adding Value" for nursing, midwifery, and care staff in England. The framework was developed through an extensive stakeholder engagement process. It positions these professionals as leaders and emphasizes eliminating unwarranted variations in care. The framework's 10 commitments aim to improve population health, enhance patient experiences, and use resources efficiently. Moving forward, the framework will be implemented through local and regional plans with a focus on identifying unwarranted variations and building skills like using technology to improve care delivery.
John Gladstone - EMEA Healthcare Pathways and Alliances, NetappHIMSS UK
This document discusses enabling service improvement through technology in healthcare. It covers the following key points:
1. Data is growing exponentially but much of it is not useful as information if it cannot be easily found. This wastes clinicians' time.
2. A vision for the future where patient data from devices at home and hospitals is collected in real-time to provide a single view of a patient's status and alerts for clinicians.
3. Healthcare is moving workloads to cloud and hybrid environments from on-premise due to trends like electronic health records, mobility/IoT, and cloud computing. This is changing the role of IT from operational to strategic.
The impact of New Models of Care on a Health Economy’s Digital StrategyHIMSS UK
This document discusses the key digital implications of new models of care on a health economy's digital strategy. It presents a case study of the Croydon Accountable Provider Alliance (APA) in the UK. The three key digital implications discussed are:
1) Organizational form and governance - The new model of care requires a shared governance structure and independent project management to achieve digital ambitions.
2) Interoperability - The model requires a fully interoperable electronic health record that can be shared across providers and with patients. Options for integration platforms are considered.
3) Analytics - A culture of data-driven decision making is needed. Joint business intelligence services and a focus on population health analytics can improve
Enabling Digital Transformation – Digital Maturity and Local Digital Roadmaps HIMSS UK
The document discusses digital transformation in the NHS, including:
1) It outlines a vision for digitally-enabled care including paperless records, improved information sharing, and greater patient engagement.
2) It summarizes results from digital maturity assessments that found secondary care providers lag in capabilities.
3) It explains that local digital roadmaps should describe how technology will underpin service models and plots a route to paperless care.
The document discusses enabling information sharing across health and care through open interfaces, APIs, and standards. It outlines current priorities like using NHS Number as the primary identifier and sharing discharge summaries electronically. The goal is to develop shared care records, patient record indexes, and open access to national systems through APIs. This will support new models of integrated care. The document also provides examples of how real-time access to structured clinical information can help with tasks like medication management, prescribing alerts, and pre-operative assessments.

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.

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.

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).
