This document discusses how new incentives like meaningful use payments for electronic health records and payment reform, combined with increasing availability of health data through initiatives like Blue Button and HealthData.gov, are fueling innovation at the intersection of health, data, and technology. It provides examples of startups and applications emerging to help consumers, providers, employers, and communities improve health using this newly available data. The goal is to create an open "ecosystem of innovation" where health data drives the creation of new products and services.
Presented at Healthcare CIO Certificate Program (Class of 2015), Hospital Administration School, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand on August 14, 2015
Interoperability is one of the most critical issues facing the health care industry today. A universal exchange language is needed to assist health care providers in sharing health information in order to coordinate diagnosis and treatment, while maintaining privacy and security of personal data. Health Information Exchanges (HIE) allow for the movement of clinical data between disparate systems; they enable providers to electronically share health records through a network. This presentation provides an overview of HIE and the Meaningful Use requirement related to the exchange of clinical information as well as information about standards of exchange and the recommended "next steps" for providers.

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.
Customers routinely buy products for all sorts of uses. A statutory definition of a medical
device based on whether and how customers actually use products for medical purposes
would be utterly impossible to administer, and frankly unfair. The statute potentially imposes significant regulatory obligations on the seller of a product, and making those obligations depend on the whim of the customer would take compliance completely outside of the control of the seller. So instead, under the statute, it is the seller’s intent with regard to how the customer should use the product that controls how the device is regulated, not how the customer actually does use the product.

Fico unleashes new analytics for fighting america's $700+ billion healthcare ...aldrencarlo
FICO Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3 adds link analysis, facility model to boost detection of fraud rings and suspicious providers
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of predictive analytics and decision management technology, today released the latest version of FICO® Insurance Fraud Manager, the most advanced system for detecting and preventing healthcare insurance fraud, waste and abuse. FICO® Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3 integrates link analysis with business rules and predictive analytics, and also adds a facility model for detecting fraud at a hospital or an outpatient provider.
"Fraud has always been a part of the insurance business, but the magnitude of insurance fraud today is startling," said Russ Schreiber, who leads FICO's insurance practice. "Experts estimate the annual cost of health care fraud, waste and abuse in the US to be upwards of $700 billion, and last May one Medicare fraud scam alone racked up $452 million. Now, with FICO Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3, insurers have a better way to fight back."
FICO Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3 boasts the first fully integrated link analysis capability with an insurance fraud application. Insurers who previously had to configure separate link analysis tools can now save time and improve results with an easy-to-use solution preconfigured to use health care claims data. With FICO Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3, insurers can investigate organized fraud rings using the visualization capabilities of a proven link analysis tool set, and easily create displays that reveal connections between disparate claims, patients and providers.
"Integrating link analysis with Insurance Fraud Manager's powerful analytics and our advanced business rules gives insurers three ways to combat fraud, waste and abuse," said James Evans, vice president of network and financial management at McKesson Health Solutions, which provides Insurance Fraud Manager's analytics to U.S. insurers via its InvestiClaim® solution. "This triple protection gives insurers a powerful tool for fighting fraud, waste and abuse."
The new facility model in FICO® Insurance Fraud Manager 3.3 scans enormous volumes of claims data for recurring, suspicious activity at a hospital or an outpatient provider. Telltale signs may include unusual scheduling with a single patient, unusually expensive procedures, and even such issues as patients being discharged and readmitted, which can indicate problems with quality of care.
Universal American, which piloted this model with FICO, received a 2012 FICO Decision Management Award this month for its use of FICO Insurance Fraud Manager to control costs and prevent fraud losses. Universal American, a leading provider of health benefits to people with Medicare, has implemented the FICO Insurance Fraud Manager solution into their claims workflow prior to payment, and integrated it with their claims platform, Facets.
Part of the "2016 Annual Conference: Big Data, Health Law, and Bioethics" held at Harvard Law School on May 6, 2016.
This conference aimed to: (1) identify the various ways in which law and ethics intersect with the use of big data in health care and health research, particularly in the United States; (2) understand the way U.S. law (and potentially other legal systems) currently promotes or stands as an obstacle to these potential uses; (3) determine what might be learned from the legal and ethical treatment of uses of big data in other sectors and countries; and (4) examine potential solutions (industry best practices, common law, legislative, executive, domestic and international) for better use of big data in health care and health research in the U.S.

Connected Health - The small matter of price - Nick van Terheyden, MDNick van Terheyden
The Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services decision to include some reimbursement in 2015 for remote monitoring is hailed as a revolutionary step for mHealth. Here are some insights from the different ecosystem players.
- With more insurance plans being open to telemedicine coverage and remote patient monitoring, see how you can take advantage of these new payments and partner with the right groups
- With Medicare fining a record number of hospitals - 2,610 - for having too many patients returning within a month. See how hospitals are adapting to the charges and changes
- Explore the advantages of preventative care at a population management and enterprise level, creating healthier workforces with less strain on the medical system and lowering insurance pay outs

History
The Affordable Care Act law was passed to improve healthcare for its citizens in the United States by increasing the people that have health insurance and by decreasing healthcare cost. A benefactor to this law is the Medicare/Medicaid program which provides medical coverage to the poor, elderly and disabled individuals which is funded by the federal government. The Federal government covers funding for Medicare programs while it provides reimbursement funds for Medicaid programs provided by the states. (The National Federation Of Independent Business V Sebellius, Secretary Of Health And Human Services, 2012). The primary benefits of the Affordable Care Act Law are covering more consumers with improved quality of services while reducing healthcare cost, access to healthcare, and consumer protection. (ASPA, 2014) Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) manages both of these programs and by modernizing and strengthening the current system they will be lowering cost and providing quality care. Executive Summary
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) is the federal office to organized the integration of Medicaid and Medicare services across multiple agencies nationwide. Its purpose is to improve access to services, ...

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.

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

11. Health Data Initiative core activities: liberate
data and catalyze innovation
1. Publish brand new HHS data for public access – while rigorously
protecting privacy and confidentiality
2. Make existing HHS data much more accessible -- “machine-
readable,” accessible via application programming interfaces
(APIs), free, much easier to find
3. Energetically publicize our data to innovators -- who can use it
as raw material to develop applications and services that help
improve health and health care
