Presentation by John Reites on 08May2015 at the NCHICA Thought Leader Forum on Patient Generated Data in RTP, NC.
The future of health care delivery is connected, continuous, empowered, and personal. Digital capabilities are a foundational element to enable a successful shift to Connected Care and now many organizations are working through how to design, operationalize and sustain a digital care program that provides new and quality access to care to improve outcomes. In addition, organizations must determine how to ingest, analyze, and produce meaningful insight with new forms of data, specifically patient-generated data.
This panel will look at changes in access to care, recent trends in the market place, integration of patient-generated data into healthcare workflows, and the infrastructure (e.g., data lakes) needed to support these powerful new capabilities.
This document discusses health information security and privacy challenges. It covers the passage of HIPAA in 1996 to protect patient privacy and the challenges of managing health information systems, such as security, data access, and lack of interoperability. Recommendations include establishing security policies, training employees on HIPAA compliance, and using technical solutions like role-based access control and encryption. The conclusion emphasizes that while new technologies benefit healthcare, privacy and security must be ensured.
Personal health records (PHRs) have the potential to improve health outcomes but face challenges regarding interoperability, security, and privacy. PHRs could allow individuals to manage their own healthcare by communicating with providers and accessing health information. However, PHRs currently lack standardization and the ability to exchange information between different systems. Addressing issues such as determining security protocols, exchanging data between health information exchanges, and clarifying legal policies will help realize the full benefits of PHRs. Widespread adoption also requires resolving questions over who pays for and controls PHR data. Further research is needed to understand how to best design PHRs and incentivize their use.
Patient engagement involves two-way communication and information sharing between patients, their families, and healthcare providers to actively partner in decision making and managing health care. There are many digital channels that can facilitate patient engagement, such as searching for medical information online, video consultations, accessing personal health records, and using health tracking apps. Increased patient engagement can lead to benefits like improved health outcomes, increased treatment adherence, and greater patient satisfaction.
Standards and Best Practices for Confidentiality of Electronic Health RecordsMEASURE Evaluation
This document summarizes standards and best practices for ensuring confidentiality of electronic health records. It discusses key concepts like privacy, security and confidentiality in the context of electronic health records. It outlines the situation in lower and middle income countries, where expertise and legal frameworks around eHealth privacy and security is often lacking. The document reviews global standards set by organizations like ISO, and emphasizes that while standards are important, non-technical factors like policy, processes and compliance are also critical to protecting health information privacy and security.
The document discusses the goals and requirements of Meaningful Use, a program that provides incentives for healthcare providers to adopt and meaningfully use electronic health records (EHRs). Meaningful Use has three main goals - improving quality, safety and efficiency of care, engaging patients and supporting care coordination. It takes a staged approach and focuses on priorities like capturing health information electronically, engaging patients, improving care coordination and ensuring privacy. The document outlines how different departments at a hospital can work together to meet Meaningful Use objectives like recording clinical data, transmitting lab results, and reporting on clinical quality measures related to emergency department throughput, stroke care, and blood clot prevention.

This was an overview of US legislation and lessons learned as well as a look forward into healthcare innovation trendds
This document provides an overview of health information exchange (HIE) and the Michigan Health Information Network (MiHIN). It defines HIE as the electronic sharing of health information and organizations that enable this sharing. Benefits of HIE include improved patient outcomes, fewer medical errors, and lower healthcare costs. MiHIN facilitates HIE across Michigan through a network of connected organizations. It provides shared services to enable the secure electronic sharing of clinical summaries, lab results, immunization records and other health data to improve care coordination.
Personal health records (PHRs) have the potential to improve health outcomes but face challenges regarding standardization, interoperability, and privacy. PHRs could ideally contain comprehensive individual clinical data and enable communication with providers, but currently lack integration with electronic health records and health information exchanges. Studies show most people agree to sharing health information for research purposes if anonymized. Key issues to address include determining security standards, developing business models, and clarifying patient rights regarding personal health data. Further research is needed on adoption rates and impacts of PHRs for different health conditions and populations.
This document discusses consumers' participation in clinical handovers between general practitioners (GPs) and hospitals. It notes that currently, formal discharge summaries are only issued to GPs 10-20% of the time and specialists provide formal feedback 10-20% of the time. The document proposes that a personally controlled electronic health record (PCEHR) could help by giving patients more timely access to their clinical information and allowing for easier sharing of information between healthcare providers. This could support chronic disease management and improve healthcare quality through more coordinated team-based care.

Meaningful Use Stage 1 establishes the basic concepts and requirements for using electronic health records to qualify for incentive payments, including: establishing core measures of meaningful use; requiring the use of certified EHR systems; and outlining the stages of meaningful use that focus on data capture, clinical processes, and improved outcomes. It also describes the eligible providers, certified EHR criteria, Medicare and Medicaid program differences, and recommendations to familiarize oneself with the requirements to receive incentive payments.
Major health care information systems (emr, ehr, phr, lhr)abhijyotsaini
This document provides an overview of major health care information systems including electronic medical records (EMR), electronic health records (EHR), personal health records (PHR), and legal health records (LHR). It discusses the definitions, components, benefits, and challenges of each system. The document emphasizes that health care information systems can improve patient care, administrative functions, and overall health care operations if implemented successfully. However, significant financial investment, user training, and overcoming resistance to change are necessary for full adoption and utilization of these systems.
The document discusses the Personal Health Record (PHR), which allows individuals to manage their own health information in order to better participate in their healthcare. A PHR contains health history, medications, allergies, immunizations and other medical data from individuals and providers. PHRs provide benefits like increased patient involvement, but also have barriers like usability, privacy and reliability concerns. The selection of a secure and standards-based PHR is important for managing personal health information.
This document discusses informatics tools that can support patient-provider communication. Digital technology has changed how patients and providers communicate, with examples being patient portals, personal health records, and online patient communities. Practical considerations for these tools include health literacy, privacy, access, and adapting clinical culture. Studies found patients having access to their medical records improved communication with providers and engagement in their own care.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."

Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working

Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
