Accountable Care Organization program in April 2011 via a proposed
rule, reactions within the healthcare community were mixed. Some

Bpm+ Automation combined to FHIR Consent ResourceDenis Gagné
Presented at FHIR North 2021
Informed Consent (also known as Consent for Medical Treatment) is required prior to most medical procedures. It allows the patient to actively participate in decisions about what his or her own care. Informed Consent is therefore an integral part of Patient-Centered Care.
FHIR defines a Consent resource that is meant to cover four different uses cases: Privacy Consent, Medical Treatment Consent, Research Consent and Advance Care Directives. Currently, only the Privacy Consent use case has been elaborated.
In this session we will explore the usage of the FHIR Consent Resource for the purpose of Informed Consent. This process will be captured using the BPM+ set of standards and combined with the usage of the FHIR Consent resource.
Attendees will learn about:
The FHIR Consent Resource.
The Informed Consent/Medical Treatment Consent process.

Automated Guidelines Healthcare Reimbursement Series
Reducing friction in the reimbursement process is an important challenge faced by healthcare organizations today. Many of them are looking for technology to reduce inefficiencies and cut costs while improving the visibility of integrated patient and clinical data. Trisotech addresses the issue with an easy to use business modeling and automation platform.
Business modeling and automation is a mature technology based on open standards that has proven its value in a wide range of industries. In healthcare, it enables clinical, business and IT personnel to collaborate in a visual environment to document, communicate and automate healthcare guidelines. The technology can be integrated with hospital information systems using FHIR and CDS Hooks. Automating these complex workflows can improve efficiency, allowing resources to be allocated to more challenging problems. Issues can be identified and resolved in real-time with the logic underlying all decisions transparently available to the organization.
To illustrate the capabilities of business modeling and automation for healthcare reimbursement, we will demonstrate how it can be used by payors and providers alike in a series of three webinars.
Documentation of Medical Necessity for CMS Home Services
Audits for medical necessity can be a headache and a financial burden to providers. Problems are often traced to issues such as incomplete documentation and incorrect coding. In this third webinar, we will demonstrate how business models can be used to meet Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rules for home health care. These models can serve as documentation, especially when supported by decision models for disease severity and therapeutic decision-making. In addition, the models can schedule renewals when needed, reducing interruptions in patient care.
The Institute of Medicine’s 1999 report, To Err is Human, set
a goal to help remedy a healthcare system compromised
by preventable patient errors. One of their major
recommendations to reduce medical error frequency
encouraged the use of medical informatics and electronic
record systems (Kohn LT, 2000). Bates and Gawande stated,
“If medicine is to achieve major gains in quality, it must be
transformed, and information technology will play a key part,
especially with respect to safety” (Bates, 2003). The American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ continuing
commitment to patient safety led them to classify seven
objectives in 2003 (updated in 2009), two of which focused
on improving communication between medical staff and
patients including incorporation of technological solutions
(American College of, 2003; American College of, 2009).

Healthcare institutions are aggressively moving towards meeting compliance with MU1 and MU2 with the implementation of full-featured Electronic Health Records. Concomitantly, there will be a massive increase in the amount of clinical data captured electronically. Business intelligence (BI) which traditionally has focused on financial data can be leveraged to use clinical data to support providers in delivering high quality, efficient care. In addition, BI coupled with population health analytics can help meet many Accountable Care Organization needs. This presentation will discuss the Denver Health journey in using BI in a variety of was to facilitate the attainment of high quality care.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. 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
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

18. Impact of ―Big Data‖
At the World Economic Forum last month in Davos,
Switzerland, Big Data was a marquee topic. A report
by the forum, ―Big Data, Big Impact,‖ declared data a
new class of economic asset, like currency or gold.
―Big Data‖ is significant in fields as varied as science
and sports, advertising and public health — a drift
toward data-driven discovery and decision-making.
“It’s a revolution…we’re really just getting under way.
But the march of quantification, made possible by
enormous new sources of data, will sweep through
academia, business and government. There is no
area that is going to be untouched.”
-Gary King, director of Harvard’s Institute for
Quantitative Social Science.
