Patient Experience Measures: Past and FutureBivarus
What is the value of measuring the patient experience? Kevin Schulman, MD shares data on why measuring the patient experience is important in today's changing healthcare environment.
The patient experience describes an individual's experience of illness/injury and how healthcare treats them. Good patient experience is very helpful for healthcare industry. Many hospitals and clinics use patient experience surveys to identify where they stand in the term of Patient Experience.
Q-Rounding is a patient experience tool that sends daily text messages to patients in the hospital with a feedback form. It provides real-time analytics and reporting on a dashboard about patient experiences to help hospitals address problems. It flags issues to the appropriate staff to help with service recovery. Hospitals and health systems use it to improve patient satisfaction, safety, and consistency of care by getting immediate feedback without taking up staff time. It works by texting patients a daily link to a feedback form, recording and reporting their answers on the online dashboard for staff to review and address any issues or praise.
The Patient Experience Response Program is an innovative physician-patient feedback service that delivers strong ROI. It connects patients to their prescribers to gather end-to-end feedback on experiences with products and services, with an emphasis on the user experience. Physicians encourage appropriate patients to enroll in surveys that capture important measures of brand awareness, appreciation, and overall treatment satisfaction. Physicians then receive reports on their patients' experiences to inform future conversations during office visits and reinforce the value of the brand. The program aims to increase uptake, encourage trials, capture market share, and counter misleading information through the facilitated patient-physician communication.
Patient satisfaction is about the Total Quality of the Patient Encounter (TQE). TQE is the sum of Patient Experience (as defined by CMS) plus Patient Satisfaction as defined by all of the non CMS related touchpoints.

The State of Consumer Healthcare: A Study of Patient ExperienceProphet
Providers must deliver a holistic patient experience that extends beyond clinical care interactions. The current state of the patient experience is poor and getting worse according to surveys, with 81% of consumers unsatisfied. While providers see patient experience as important, they overestimate their performance by over 20 percentage points compared to consumer ratings. Improving patient experience can drive operational efficiencies and reduce costs while helping organizations achieve their missions. Providers must take a holistic view of patient experience, empower their staff, and thoughtfully invest in technologies to enhance the experience.

Patient experience is closely related to clinical effectiveness and safety. Organizations that are more patient-centered have better outcomes. Improved communication between doctors and patients leads to greater medication compliance and self-management of chronic conditions. Anxiety and fear can delay healing. While terms like "experience" and "satisfaction" are sometimes used interchangeably, they actually refer to different concepts - experience refers to aspects of care, satisfaction is an evaluation of feelings, and outcomes refer to the effect on quality of life. There are information gaps around patient experience in pathways of care, community services, social care, and specific clinical conditions.

Measuring Physician Relations ROI; Tools & TechniquesRenown Health
The document describes a workshop on measuring physician relations return on investment. It discusses how three organizations, including Baystate Health, demonstrate results from their physician relations programs. At Baystate Health, their physician liaison program led to $8 million in new annual revenue, a 25 to 1 return on their $316,000 investment. Their liaisons conduct over 1,400 face-to-face visits annually and help fill new specialist panels 50% faster. The workshop aims to help others learn from these examples on tracking measures that align with goals and demonstrating physician relations program value.
The document provides information about the 2007 Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) including eligible professionals, quality measures, reporting requirements, bonus payments, validation, and considerations for 2008. Eligible professionals can earn a 1.5% bonus payment by reporting certain quality measures to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services between July and December 2007.
The document describes 10 inexpensive tools that healthcare organizations can use to improve the patient experience and develop empathy among staff. These tools include using flip cameras to record patient journeys, digital audio recorders for interviews, persona posters to represent patients, taking photos from the patient perspective, holding staff huddles, creating experience maps, using dashboard posters, a comment wall, sending staff emails with patient feedback, and encouraging staff to volunteer directly with patients. The goal is to help organizations better understand and connect with patient needs even when budgets are constrained.

1) Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other care providers who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to their patients.
2) ACOs aim to improve care and lower costs through improved care coordination and preventative care. They are paid for keeping their patients healthy instead of paying for each test and procedure.
3) For ACOs to be successful, providers need organizational capabilities like managing risk, using electronic health records, tracking performance measures, and engaging patients in self-care.

Patient’s experience, improve the quality health3zsaddique
Putting patients first requires more than world-class clinical care – it requires care that addresses every aspect of a patient’s encounter with Hospital, including the patient’s physical comfort, as well as their educational, emotional, and spiritual needs. A team of professionals should serves as an advisory resource for critical initiatives across the Hospital health system. In addition, it should provide resources and data analytics; identify, support, and publish sustainable best practices; and collaborate with a variety of departments to ensure the consistent delivery of patient-centered care.

How to Engage Physicians in Quality/Safety Improvement Using MetricsWellbe
The unsustainable rising cost of medical care is creating financial pressures that will critically alter the way that health care is both paid for and delivered. Limited resources dictate that we become more efficient at providing high quality care. In an effort to provide financial incentive for delivering quality care the Federal government instituted Value Based Purchasing (VBP) and Bundled Payments. In order to maximize reimbursement under these programs, providers of health care must follow to the basic tenants of the quality principles.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

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.
