Electronic Healthcare
Electronic resources are helping bridge communication gaps in healthcare. Websites like Kaiser Permanente's My Health Manager allow patients to manage their care online by reviewing test results, finding doctors, and staying updated on health topics. Mobile apps also enhance wellness by tracking health metrics and providing medical information. Healthcare organizations use social media like Facebook and YouTube to connect with patients, share stories and updates, and promote healthy behaviors. These electronic resources give convenient access to healthcare and help strengthen relationships between providers and engaged patients.
Crowdfunder deck
This document discusses gaps and waste in healthcare delivery and potential solutions. It notes that only 20% of care is evidence-based due to difficulties accessing and applying proven therapies. $1.2 trillion is spent annually on unnecessary, wrong or wasted care. It also presents a company called EvidenceCare that provides evidence-based healthcare content and advertising platforms to help address these issues and close the gaps in care delivery.
What Is iTriage?
The document discusses a mobile app called iTriage that helps patients find the best treatment options for their medical issues. It was created by two ER physicians to help patients navigate the healthcare system by connecting their symptoms to the appropriate provider based on their insurance plan and level of care needed. The app aims to save health plans money by directing patients to lower-cost providers like urgent care centers instead of emergency rooms for non-emergency issues. It provides treatment options and helps patients find in-network doctors and facilities on their mobile devices.
Domestic Innovative Financing for Health: Learning From Country Experience
Advances in health care are extending and improving the quality of life for people around the world, but such advances come with a price tag. While all nations face budgetary constraints for health funding, low- and middle-income countries have the fewest resources for their health sectors. And as many of these nations begin transitioning away from donor-funding for health programs, they need to ensure that any financing gaps are not covered by households paying out-of-pocket in a way that increases inequities in health access and pushes more people into poverty. Clearly, there is a need for low- and middle-income countries to increase the flow of equitable and sustainable domestic financing for health.
A new HFG report —Domestic Innovative Financing for Health: Learning From Country Experience—highlights “domestic innovative financing” options; that is, those originating from domestic sources which can generate additional resources for the health sector. The focus of the report is not to prioritize revenue generation, but rather to “assess country experience with domestic innovative financing options, both successes and failures, in order to increase global wisdom on selecting and implementing them in low- and middle-income countries.” It draws on lessons learned from several countries to provide evidence and scenarios for low- and middle-income nations to increase the financing potential of national health systems.
Telehealth Secrets 2019: Tyranny of Proximity in Healthcare Choice - Reed Mol...
The document discusses the "tyranny of proximity" in healthcare, where physical proximity is the primary factor in how patients select doctors and clinics. This puts stress on local health systems and limits choice. Telehealth has potential to alleviate challenges by allowing patients to choose from providers across states. However, telehealth also faces adoption challenges. The document argues that overcoming these challenges requires effort across the healthcare ecosystem to promote virtual visits by providers, payors developing integrated experiences, and consumer sites prioritizing virtual visits. Doctor.com and VSee are working on integration to help achieve these goals and increase telehealth adoption.
Allscripts App Challenge
This document summarizes a mobile app solution that delivers problem and medication specific patient education at discharge to prevent hospital readmissions. The app provides education that is customized for each patient and incorporates text-to-speech so patients can hear instructions. It addresses the issues that many hospitals face penalties for high readmission rates and low patient satisfaction. The solution is in code development and aims to interface with electronic health records to deliver personalized education prescriptions to patients.

Perficient Perspectives: The Evolution of Social Media in Healthcare
Healthcare organizations continue to navigate the transforming healthcare industry and identify new avenues to engage with consumers outside of the facility walls. In a fast-paced, information-dominated world, successfully interacting with consumers may seem like a daunting task. The key is to connect with consumers where they are and provide them with actionable health and wellness information they need to live a healthier life.
When you think of social media in healthcare you might think it is a tool for marketing, but it goes much farther than that. Sure, social media can be used to attract and retain consumers, but social media can also be a powerful tool to reduce healthcare costs and help with chronic disease and population health management.
Healthcare organizations are in varying stages of becoming social enterprises, from social innovators like Mayo Clinic to those beginning the journey to developing a comprehensive social media strategy.
In this perspective, we take a look at the evolution of social media in healthcare and discuss what social media in healthcare will look like in the future.

“I Have a Question”: Introduction to Health Care Access for Immigrant Families
“I Have a Question”: Introduction to Health Care Access for Immigrant FamiliesCalifornia School-Based Health Alliance
Many of our low-income community members have healthcare coverage through the State’s Medi-Cal program, but how can we help them use these benefits to get the care they need? Often times our families tell us they need help getting dental care or seeing a mental health professional. Other times our families tell us they have had a horrible experience and don’t want to return to the doctor. How do we respond to these experiences?
Healthcare coverage can be difficult to manage for anyone. Among our low-income California residents it’s even more difficult to manage as Medi-Cal coverage can be different for each household member. In this workshop we will be discussing healthcare coverage eligibility for all members of the family that may include immigrant household members. We will be reviewing the benefits available to adults, children, and undocumented family members and the rights people have to request timely, accessible, and quality care. Our session will provide guidance to SBHC staff who work with community members with multiple healthcare needs. The goal is to help attendees identify what types of concerns families are having and how to appropriately guide and refer them to the healthcare resources they need.
In addition, during this session participants will explore existing laws, such as The California Values Act (SB 54) and Safe Schools for Immigrant Students (AB 699) that have the potential to safeguard children and their parents from immigration enforcement. Participants will also get to hear about and engage in a conversation about public charge and the potential changes that can affect immigrant families and access to key services such as health care. Lastly, through the findings of a recent report called Healthy Mind, Healthy Future the group will discuss how immigration related policy changes impact the mental health of children in immigrant families and highlight the important role that schools have on ensuring children can overcome barriers and secure the support they need to thrive.

Investment in Primary Care, Michael Fine, MD - SLC 2015
(1) Primary care has a public purpose of improving population health outcomes at affordable costs. Investing in primary care services like open access, extended hours, quality improvement activities, and increasing patient enrollment can generate returns through better health and lower healthcare spending.
(2) There are multiple potential sources of investment in primary care, including state departments of health, Medicaid, Medicare, health plans, employers, and foundations. Investment approaches may differ between more conservative "red states" and liberal "blue states".
(3) To stimulate investment in primary care, advocates should build political support among patients, speak with a unified voice, work with state governments and payers, and provide leadership.
