The Biggest Healthcare Trends of 2019 and What's to Come in 2020Health Catalyst
In our Healthcare Outlook for 2019 webinar, Stephen Grossbart, PhD, and Bobbi Brown, MBA, shared their predictions for the biggest trends of the year. Which predictions panned out and which didn’t? View this webinar as Stephen takes a look back at 2019 and makes his forecast for 2020.
So, what did happen in 2019? Following the 2018 midterm elections, we predicted a divided Congress would not pass policies to strengthen or weaken the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We were right. Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidates debated the extent to which they would support Medicare for All. Insurance costs continued to rise, breaking $20,000 annually for families with employer-sponsored coverage, and CMS continued to support payment policies rewarding quality and interoperability as part of their payment policy.
Join Stephen as he looks in the rearview mirror at these important issues and how they impacted the healthcare industry in 2019 and then gazes into the crystal ball to predict the trends that will most impact healthcare in 2020. In this webinar, Stephen discusses the following topics and more:
• The continued focus on price transparency.
• Congress’ efforts to control prescription drug costs.
• Policies that may change the future of ACOs.
• What to expect going into the 2020 election year.

Most population health webinars focus on topics like chronic disease management, closing care gaps, and the role of preventive care. While these are important concerns, we want you to rethink the meaning of population health and why it’s so important right now. After years of saying value-based care is coming, Dr. Will Caldwell, a physician with 19 years of experience and the Senior Vice President for Population Health at Health Catalyst, will make the case that emerging trends are enabling the true shift to population health.
In this webinar, Dr. Caldwell will offer the following:
• Create excitement about your role in helping others live healthier lives.
• Raise awareness of the opportunity facing us.
• Help us understand the role private equity is playing.
• Encourage us to rethink how we source and use data.
• Explain the transition from disease management to population health management.
• Discuss the largest unrealized opportunity in managing the total cost of care and driving better outcomes.

The Power and Promise of Unstructured Patient Data Healthline
Unstructured search capabilities, superior natural language processing, and healthcare ontology capabilities will help distinguish the leading products in the category (information and data-driven decision making).
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.

What the ONC's Proposed Rule on Information Blocking Means for Your WorkHealth Catalyst
Information blocking has been a hot-button issue for years as it has impeded innovation and patient healthcare options for too long. The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) sought to eliminate these problems but information blocking persisted. However, in February 2019 the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) announced a proposed rule with consequences to non-compliance with the Cures Act that may finally force true interoperability. As a healthcare decision maker you have a real opportunity to build an innovation strategy around these changes. To learn how, view this webinar.
True data interoperability enables innovation and better patient experience. In aggregate, both of these activities have the potential to accelerate the shift away from fee-for-service and towards fee-for-value healthcare. Dan Orenstein has spent much of his career providing legal counsel to healthcare organizations on regulatory and risk management issues as well as how to implement growth initiatives that comply with healthcare laws and regulations. That experience has made him an expert in applying policy to healthcare strategy. He has studied the proposed rule and in this webinar he will provide a summary of the existing legislation, implications of non-compliance with the proposed rule as well as insight into putting it into practice.

Lean Healthcare: 6 Methodologies for Improvement from Dr. Brent JamesHealth Catalyst
The survival of healthcare organizations depends on applying lean principles. Organizations that adopt lean principles can reduce waste while improving the quality of care. By applying stringent clinical data measurement approaches to routine care delivery, healthcare systems identify best practice protocols and incorporate those into the clinical workflow. Data from these best practices are applied through continuous-learning loop that enables teams across the organization to update and improve protocols–ultimately reducing waste, lowering costs, and improving access to care.
This executive report based on a presentation by Dr. Brent James at a regional medical center, covers the following:
1. How lean healthcare principles can help improve the quality of care.
2. The steps healthcare organizations need to take to create a continuous-learning loop.
3. How a lean approach creates financial leverage by eliminating waste and improving net operating margins and ROI.
The Foundations of Success in Population Health ManagementHealth Catalyst
From hospital systems to large employers, organizations are increasingly taking on financial risk for the health of populations. Drivers of this trend include the update to the MSSP model, the recent CMS Primary Cares Initiative announcement, the increasing prevalence of the Medicare Advantage model, innovative partnerships in the self-insured employer space, and the proliferation of Medicaid ACOs. Yet while market pressures push organizations toward population risk, they don't necessarily help them succeed: most organizations are struggling to attain or sustain the dual imperatives of high-quality care and cost containment. A primary reason? Short-sighted and tactical approaches that don't provide the flexible data infrastructure and tools to adapt to emerging trends in population health—or to support short-term contractual requirements while building toward long-term success.
View this launch webinar to learn about Health Catalyst’s Population Health Foundations solution, a data and analytics-first starter set aimed at optimizing performance in value-based risk arrangements and providing the data ecosystem that will flex and adapt to complex needs of risk-bearing organizations. Solution services ensure that the strategic value of data is maximized to improve performance in risk contracts—and provide side-by-side subject matter expert partnership for establishing short- and long-term goals for population health management (PHM).
Built on Health Catalyst’s foundational technology and supported by the nationwide experience and perspective of its experts, the Population Health Foundations solution helps organizations leverage multiple data sources to understand their patient populations and create meaningful views of financial and clinical quality performance. As a starter set that organizations can build on based on their needs, the solution is designed to compensate for the known limitations of “black box” population health applications that fail to reveal the “why” of analytic insights and exacerbate the challenges of transforming quality, cost, and care. The Population Health Foundations solution delivers the essential analytic tools needed for success under value-based risk arrangements.
In these slides you can expect to:
- Review recent changes to the field of value-based care, and reactions and insights from the market
- Discover how the Population Health Foundations solution can act as a comprehensive, data-first analytics solution to support your population stratification and monitoring needs
- Understand how this solution functions as a foundational starter set for value-based care success, enabling clients to leverage all their data and other relevant population health tools

DQ 3-2Integrated health care delivery systems (IDS) was develope.docxelinoraudley582231
DQ 3-2
Integrated health care delivery systems (IDS) was developed to initiate excellence health care access and quality of care to entire populations and community by collaborating and coordinating diverse healthcare professionals. Main driving force of IDS is patient centered care by using resources such as collaborating care from physicians and allied health care professionals to construct continuum of care, to deliver care in the most cost-effective way, utilize trained and competent providers by utilizing evidenced -based practice and combine innovation such as EHR (Electronic Health Records) system and team work to produce improved healthcare system.
Excellence in care is attainable by incorporating allied healthcare professional, as high quality care is possible when coordination is unified and covers all areas of responsibilities. For an example-combining resources and coordination of care by involving physicians, dietitian, physical therapy or occupational therapy to work with patient diagnosed with obesity by promoting teamwork approach and ultimately delivering endurance in care and utilizing various resources.
Barriers to IDS can be a huge block in delivering quality care. Among many one limitation is physicians not participating in integrated healthcare system, which disconnect physicians from team based approached by deterring continuous quality improvement (essentialhospitals.org, n.d). This is because, system such as EHR or new innovative quality assurance programs are time consuming and overwhelming, thus decline in physicians support in IDS programs. By implementing user friendly system approach, enforcing focused based care and accepting the necessity of evidenced based practice can improve these barriers. Hence, increasing clinical expertise to produce better service and quality of care in integrated delivery system.

In the US, there is not one type of health care system but rather a subset of systems, some of them catering to specific populations. These subsystems include managed care, military, and vulnerable populations. Managed care is a health care delivery system that seeks to achieve efficiency by integrating the basic functions of health care delivery, employs mechanisms to control utilization of medical services, and determines the price at which the services are purchased and how much the providers get paid, military health care system is available free of charge to active duty military personnel and covers preventative and treatment services that are provided by salaried health care personnel and this system combines public health with medical services, and vulnerable population subsystem offers comprehensive medical and enabling services targeted to the needs of vulnerable populations and government health insurance programs provide.

White Paper - Building Your ACO and Healthcare IT’s RoleNextGen Healthcare
The tools needed to capture, organize, and share healthcare data are truly evolving at the speed of light. Patient Centered Medical Homes play a vital role in the path toward accountable care and technology, staff, and workflow transformation are necessary to achieve PCMH recognition. This transformation allows healthcare providers to deliver higher quality coordinated care by streamlining and rationalizing the patient experience.
Virtual health is supporting continuing efforts to further humanize health care by extending and expanding the concept of a patient-centric care delivery model into one that is truly life-centric.
Virtual health uses telecommunication and networked technologies to connect clinicians with patients (and with other clinicians) to remotely deliver health care services and support well-being. For providers, committing to virtual health at a personal and organizational level affords ever-increasing opportunities to deliver the right care at the right time in the right place, in a connected and coordinated manner.
By strengthening and facilitating a therapeutic alliance between clinicians and patients, virtual health is an important step on our continuous journey to humanize health care. It works within and around a patient’s life, as opposed to their sickness, to deliver care when, where, and how they need and want it. Also, virtual health works its way into consumers’ daily routines by being embedded in electronic devices associated with living life (e.g., smartphones and personal computers) more so than caring for sickness.
The healthcare industry is primed for expanded adoption of virtual health; a 2016 report estimated that the US virtual health market will reach $3.5 billion in revenues by 2022. Several factors are elevating stakeholder interest, including expected physician shortages, continued growth in digital technologies, changing reimbursement models, increasing consumer demand, and the evolving regulatory landscape. One game-changer: Today, nine in 10 American adults use the internet, giving clinicians the capability and flexibility to communicate with and serve health care consumers via the web.

Abstract This chapter illustrates how a well-established public health informatics
framework provides an integrated information system infrastructure that assures and
enhances the efficacy of public health emergency preparedness (PHEP) actions
throughout the phases of the health emergency event life cycle. Key PHEP activities
involved in supporting this cycle include planning; surveillance; alerting; resource
assessment and management; data-driven decision support; and intervention for
prevention and control of disease or injury in populations. Information systems
supporting these activities are most effective in assuring optimal response to an
emergent health event when they are integrated within an informatics framework
that supports routine (day to day) information exchange within the health infor-
mation exchange community. In late April 2009, New York State (NYS) initiated a
statewide PHEP response to the emergence of Novel Influenza A (H1N1), culmi-
nating in a statewide vaccination campaign during the last quarter of 2009. The

established informatics framework of integrated information systems within NYS
conveyed significant advantages and flexibility in supporting the range of PHEP
activities required for an effective response to this health event. This chapter
describes, and provides, performance metrics to illustrate how a public health
informatics framework can enhance the efficacy of all phases of a public health
emergency response. It also provides informatics lessons learned from the event.

Chapter 4 Information Systems to Support Population Health Managem.docxketurahhazelhurst
Chapter 4 Information Systems to Support Population Health Management Learning Objectives To be able to understand the data and information needs of health systems in managing population health effectively under value-based payment models. To be able to discuss key health IT tools and strategies for population health management including EHRs, registries, risk stratification, patient engagement, and outreach, care coordination and management, analytics, health information exchange, and telemedicine and telehealth. To be able to discuss the application and use of data analytics to monitor, predict, and improve performance. The enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) brought about sweeping legislation intended to reduce the numbers of uninsured and make health care accessible to all Americans. It also ushered in an era in which changing reimbursement and care delivery models are driving providers from the current fragmented system focused on volume-based services to an outcomes orientation. As a result, the health care system now taking shape is one in which value-based payment models financially reward patient-centered, coordinated, accountable care. Against this backdrop, providers' increasing use of evidence-based medicine and growing capabilities in managing volumes of clinical evidence through sophisticated health IT systems will mean that treatments can be tailored for the individual and interventions can be made earlier to keep patients well. Furthermore, patient engagement is fast becoming a critical component in the care process, particularly in the area of population health management (PHM). Health care providers' interest in improving population health appears to be increasing because of the sudden ubiquity of the phrase, because many are participating in accountable care organizations (ACOs), and because even hospitals not participating in an ACO increasingly have incentives to reduce their number of potentially unavoidable admissions, readmissions, and emergency department visits (Casalino, Erb, Joshi, & Shortell, 2015). In this chapter we'll not only seek a common understanding of PHM but also explore how the advent of shared accountability financial arrangements between providers and purchasers of care has created significant focus on PHM. We'll also review the core processes associated with accountable care and examine the strategic IT investments and data management capabilities required to support population health management and enable a successful transition from volume-based to value-based care. PHM: Key to Success Although the ACO model is still new and evolving, approximately 750 ACOs are in operation today, covering some 23.5 million lives under Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers. Although not all ACOs have demonstrated success in delivering better health outcomes at a lower cost, many have achieved promising results (Houston & McGinnis, 2016). As such, significant ACO growth is expected. In fact, it is predicte ...

Chapter 6: Health Information Exchange
Robert Hoyt MD
William Hersh MD
After viewing the presentation, viewers should be able to:
Identify the need for and benefits of health information exchange (HIE) and interoperability
List healthcare data that should be shared
Enumerate HIE challenges and barriers
Describe several organizations known as Health Information Organizations (HIOs)
Summarize the newest HIE models
Learning Objectives
Health Information Exchange (HIE) is the “electronic movement of health-related information among organizations according to nationally recognized standards”
Health Information Organization (HIO) is “an organization that oversees and governs the exchange of health-related information among organizations according to nationally recognized standards”
Important Definitions
Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) is “a health information organization that brings together health care stakeholders within a defined geographic area and governs health information exchange among them for the purpose of improving health and care in that community.”
Interoperability is defined as “the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged”. This implies that the data is computable and that standards exist that permit interoperability
Important Definitions
Foundational: refers to the technology or platform used to exchange information
Syntactic: means messages have a structure and syntax that is understandable. Uses XML and HL7 standards
Semantic: terminology and coding must be the same for the sending and receiving organizations
Interoperability Levels
Exchange (sharing) of health information is vital for healthcare reform at the local, state and national level
The next two slides will demonstrate the types of healthcare data that should be shared
If electronic health records don’t share data, then we have moved from paper siloes of information to electronic siloes; not the goal of anyone
HIE is part of the Meaningful Use program, discussed in the module on electronic health records
Introduction
Clinical results: Lab, pathology, medication , allergies, immunizations and microbiology data
Images: Actual images and radiology reports
Documents: Office notes, discharge notes and emergency room notes
Clinical summaries: Continuity of Care Documents (CCDs); XML-based documents that standardize and summarize care
Financial information: Claims data and eligibility checks
Medication data: Electronic prescriptions, formulary status, and prescription history
Healthcare Data Potentially Shared
Performance data: Quality measures like blood pressure or diabetes control, cholesterol levels, etc.
Case management: Management of the underserved and emergency room utilization
Public health data: Infectious diseases outbreak data, immunization records
Referral management: Management of re.
