Extending US Healthcare Capacity with ClickMedixClickMedix
As US begins its shift in healthcare payment and delivery models, technology-enabled solutions become ever-more relevant to achieve faster and better outcome-based care, with less resources. This presentation presents a mobile health system in the context of enabling health providers in the US to do more, with less.
For mHealth to work it needs to be disruptive. This presentation, from Mobile Monday's mHealth event in Amsterdam, looks at how wireless technology will enable it, and explores the myths, barriers, business models and alternative approaches.
EHRs, PHRs, EMRs: Making Sense of the Alphabet SoupCHI*Atlanta
CHI*Atlanta's October program tackles health records and the potential of user experience to improve their adoption. Panelists include CDC, Kaiser Permanente, and Greenway Technologies. Hosted at Philips Design to cover public, private, and vendor perspectives.
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.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

5. Health Literacy
• Ability to understand health information and use that
information to make good decisions about your health and
medical care
• About 1/3 of the population of the United States has limited
health literacy
• Did you know…..
• …..studies show that 40% - 80% of what is said by your doctor is forgotten
by the time you leave the office
6. Factors that Affect Health Literacy
• Health care language – use of words that patients don’t understand
• Low educational skills – reading skills
• Cultural barriers to health care
• Limited English proficiency
• Learning disabilities
• Cognitive decline
7. Vulnerable Populations
• Older adults (age +65)
• Minority populations
• Immigrant populations
• Low income
• The medically underserved
• People with chronic mental and/or physical conditions
8. What does the Research Say?
• Low health literacy is linked with:
• Higher rates of hospitalization
• Higher use of emergency services
• Poorer health outcomes
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. (2011). Literacy and health outcomes. Retrieved from
http://www.ahrq.gov/downloads/pub/evidence/pdf/literacy/literacyup.pdf
9. Cancer and Health Literacy
• Low literacy adversely impacts:
• Incidence of cancer
• Mortality from cancer
• Quality of Life
10. Diabetes and Health Literacy
• Low literacy is independently associated with:
• Worse blood sugar (glycemic) control
• Higher rates of eye disease that may affect vision
(retinopathy)
• More diabetes-related complications
11. Hypertension and Health Literacy
• Low health literacy in this population (48%) even
with formal educational classes, showed:
• Significantly less knowledge of the disease
• Less lifestyle modification
• Lower self-management skills

13. Credibility of Medical Websites
• Americans use search engines more than doctors
for obtaining health and medical information
• Marketingcharts.com
• Google is most often the first place of contact
for health information
• Business Noise - Vandergriend.com
• Several popular sites related to health
information
14. Most Popular Medical Websites
Marketing Information Other Popular Sites
Varies somewhat by the Yahoo!Health
marketing research MedicineNet.com
HealthCentral.com
#1 site overall…? MayoClinic.com
NIH.gov
CDC.gov
WebMD
Health A to Z (myoptumhealth.com)
Wrong Diagnosis (.com)
15. Medical Library Association
• Criteria for Site Selection
• The site’s sponsor should be easy to identify; this may be
evident in the address itself (.gov, .edu, .org, .com)
• The site should be updated frequently with the date of most
recent revisions apparent
• Information should be clear, factual, and evidence-based
• Clear information on the intended audience should be
provided (consumer versus professional)
• http://www.mlanet.org/resources/userguide
16. Health on the Internet (HON) Code of Conduct
• “HON was founded to encourage the dissemination of quality
health information for patients and professionals and the general
public, and to facilitate access to the latest and most relevant
medical data through the use of the internet.”
• “The HONcode certification is an ethical standard aimed at offering
quality health information. It demonstrates the intent of a website
to publish transparent information. The transparency of the
website will improve the usefulness and objectivity of the
information and the publishment of correct data.”
• http://www.hon.ch/HONcode/Patients/Visitor/visitor.html
22. Internet Search: A hypochondriac’s best friend?
• “Details of a new study examining how symptoms presented online
influence people’s reactions to possible medical conditions will be
presented in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for
Psychological Science” (Newberg, 2012).
• People are more likely to go online to search on symptoms than go to their
doctor
• > 60% of people feeling ill go to the internet for information
• Follow-up with a doctor is based on what they find
• Research on cancer-seeking information
• People perceive a higher disease risk when symptoms are identified in
“streaks” – sequences of items on a list
23. Medical Implications of the Study
• Presentation of symptoms online:
• To increase awareness of an emerging health issue that requires treatment,
group symptoms together that will more likely be checked off in sequence.
• According to Votruba, “If there are concerns that the perceptions of disease
risk are too high, possibly resulting in over utilization of health services, then
symptom lists should alternate common and specific symptoms or create
longer symptom lists” (as cited in Newberg, 2012).
• “Previous research shows that perception of risk of disease is a powerful
predictor of health preventative behavior (such as going to the doctor),” Kwan
said. “How information is presented online will make a substantive difference
in behavior (as cited in Newberg, 2012).
