HIMSS - Real Payer and Provider Collaborations - Final
This document summarizes an upcoming event from HIMSS MN on the role of providers and payers in improving health outcomes through interoperability. The event will feature Daniel Abdul from UCare discussing challenges with interoperability including different views of data, missing clinical notes, and proprietary standards slowing progress. Abdul argues that truly putting patients first requires a unified view of their information and goals across all care teams. Security concerns cannot be an excuse for inaction on interoperability which is necessary to improve chronic care, reduce redundant questions, and enable learning from patient outcomes. The future requires information sharing in near real-time based on patient preferences.
Medical home summit phl 2011
The document discusses the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model of care delivery. It provides evidence that PCMH is associated with improved outcomes, lower costs, and a better experience of care compared to the traditional fee-for-service model. The document argues that widespread adoption of PCMH is needed to transform healthcare delivery and address issues of cost, quality and access.
Physician performance improvement part one
This white paper discusses using analytics to improve physician performance. It addresses quantifying the proportion of performance variability attributable to physicians and determining if statistically significant differences exist between physicians. The paper provides an example showing physician practice patterns account for over 90% of variability in length of stay for back procedures, suggesting focusing improvement there. It also gives an example where physician performance for vascular procedures is statistically significantly different, indicating reducing variability could meaningfully improve outcomes. The overall goal is to use data-driven analytics to inform effective physician performance improvement strategies.
Top 5 Administrative Challenges Facing Physicians
Recent reports indicate that physicians are stressed and overburdened by several administrative challenges, leaving them with less time for patient care.
Why Health Reform
The document discusses the need for payment reform in the US healthcare system. It notes that the current system provides little incentive for prevention, quality, or efficiency. It presents data showing higher healthcare spending and worse health outcomes in the US compared to other developed countries. The document advocates aligning payment incentives with goals of wellness, care coordination, and evidence-based practices. It presents several potential payment models and delivery system reforms to work toward a higher performing system.
Money Your Practice May Be Throwing Away
The document discusses ways physicians can improve documentation and coding to maximize reimbursement from insurance companies. It notes that many physicians under-code patient encounters, potentially losing $300 or more per day. Implementing electronic medical records or using standardized paper forms can help improve documentation and billing accuracy to recoup this lost revenue without requiring additional work. The document estimates that decreasing billing errors by 50% through better documentation could increase practice revenues by around $40,000 per year.

The document discusses strategies for improving teamwork and patient safety using the TeamSTEPPS framework. It describes how TeamSTEPPS was developed based on over 25 years of research in various high-risk industries. The framework focuses on team structure, leadership, situation monitoring, mutual support, communication, and developing team competencies. Proper teamwork and communication are emphasized as ways to address issues like medical errors during handoffs and reduce preventable adverse events.
mHealth for providers in India
HealthCursor Consulting Group India- Mobile Health is going to be a 3000 crore market in India by 2017. (Source PwC). M-health (use of mobile phones) and E-health are all set to make an entry into India's primary health centres (PHCs) and sub-centres as the health ministry plans to go hi-tech. Healthcare industry is expected to show a strong growth of 23% per annum to become a US$ 77 billion industry by 2012. One of the largest sector in terms of revenue and employment has grown at 9.3% per annum between 2000-2009 with a current size at par with fastest growing developing country like China, Brazil and Mexico.Driven by various catalysts such as increasing population, rising income levels, changing demographics and illness profile with a shift from chronic to life style diseases, healthcare industry is expected to move to levels of US$ 77 billion in next 3 years.

Empowering rural India is of utmost importance and the government needs to do so by provisioning for broadband penetration and financial inclusion. Access to quality health care is another key to achieving rural empowerment. The budget for this segment was raised marginally last year and it would be good to have an allocation for rural health care programs with provisions for technology that would help modernize this sector to expand its reach through remote healthcare solutions and telemedicine.
Furthermore, the government announced a big budget campaign 'Swabhimaan' in the budget last year to promote banking and provide services to about 20,000 villages. In order to meet this goal, the budget this year too would need to make provisions accordingly. The steering committee on health said that in the 12th plan (2012-17), all district hospitals would be linked to leading tertiary care centres through telemedicine, Skype and similar audio visual media. M-health will be used to speed up transmission of data. Disease surveillance will be put on a GIS platform.
Disease surveillance based on reporting by providers and clinical laboratories (public and private) to detect and act on disease outbreaks and epidemics would be an integral component of the system.India will also put in place a Citizen Health Information System (CHIS) - a biometric based health information system which will constantly update health record of every citizen-family. The system will incorporate registration of births, deaths and cause of death. Maternal and infant death reviews, nutrition surveillance, particularly among under-six children andwomen, service delivery in the public health system, hospital information service besides improving access of public to their own health information and medical records would be the primary function of the CHIS.
Economies of Indian states can grow 1.08 per cent faster with every 10 per cent increase in Internet and broadband connections.

Zero Sepsis Deaths: A Dialogue of Passion and Practical Wisdom on Sepsis Prev...
Each year 1.7 million Americans are diagnosed with sepsis, resulting in 270,000 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s one death every two minutes, making sepsis the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals. The financial toll is also high, with the average cost per sepsis stay over $18,000. Sepsis is the number one cause of both initial hospitalizations and readmissions.
Nearly all sepsis deaths are preventable. Community outreach, focused attention on the emergency department, and effective technology and processes to monitor patients already admitted can reduce sepsis mortality. Making a goal of “zero sepsis deaths” a reality is a personal and professional passion of Armando Nahum, a patient activist and co-founder and President of the Safe Care Campaign, and Kathleen Merkley, DNP, ANP, FNP, Senior Vice President of Professional Services at Health Catalyst.
Nahum and Merkley share stories and practical steps to drastically reduce the sepsis toll. Michael L. Millenson, Senior Advisor to Health Catalyst, patient safety expert, and long-time advocate of safer, higher-quality, more patient-centered care, facilitates the dialogue.
What You’ll Learn
- How to implement community outreach to facilitate timely sepsis recognition and seeking of care.
- How to organize emergency department processes for prompt sepsis recognition and treatment.
- How to ensure prompt sepsis recognition and treatment in the inpatient environment.
- How to avoid sepsis readmissions.

Quality reporting's toll on physician practices in time and money by Dr.Mahbo...Healthcare consultant
The failure in quality improvement is that health IT applications have not been designed to simplify the complexity of value-based contracts into automated and easy-to-use workflows for physicians and care managers. The administrative burden of quality improvement should never fall on physicians and other care providers.This exact problem is why I founded Able Health, which is focused on building software that simplifies quality reporting and improvement for all stakeholders. I have written about the need to meet the needs of clinical users in quality improvement through the use of 'design thinking' methods: Stfm april 28 2011
This document discusses the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model and its benefits. It provides 3 key points:

2) Studies show PCMH interventions can reduce hospital and ER use by over 30% each and lower total costs by 9% while maintaining or improving outcomes.
3) Successful PCMH models require health IT and data sharing to facilitate care coordination, population health management, and quality improvement. They also rely on payment reforms that appropriately recognize the added value of the medical
Three Strategies to Deliver Patient-Centered Care in the Next Normal
Juggling financial demands, uncertain healthcare legislation, and COVID-19 can distract healthcare leaders from the most important aspect of care—patients. Delivering patient-centered care in this volatile market can be challenging, especially when traditional healthcare methods (e.g., in-person visits) are on hold. These sudden disruptions to routine care have highlighted the importance of keeping patients at the center of care, whether care delivery is in-person or virtual. Health systems can manage competing priorities, adjust to pandemic-induced changes, and deliver patient-centered care by focusing on three strategies:
Improve the patient experience.
Implement the Meaningful Measures Initiative.
Transition in-person visits to virtual.

Why Clinical Quality Should Be Your Core Business Strategy
Over 100 years ago, healing professionals and healthcare itself went through a massive transformation that led us to the models of care delivery that we use today. Dr. Brent James argues that we are now, again, at a once-in-a-century inflection point to change the course of healthcare. Change takes real effort, but provides massive opportunity.
Those changes include a move away from the highly-profitable fee-for-service payment to fee-for-value. An IOM report, published in 2010, substantiated that more than a third of healthcare spending is waste. Pay-for-value aligns financial returns for those who invest in waste elimination. It also requires that clinicians move away from the craft of medicine to the science of medicine, using data and evidence to drive better clinical care.
As the vice president and chief quality officer at Intermountain Healthcare, Dr. James led much of the change that produced Intermountain’s recognized operational and clinical excellence. In this webinar Dr. James educates and inspires all of us to do great work by sharing practical stories of how data has become the critical tool to help healthcare shift from revenue enhancement to clinical quality, which produces the most affordable care.
Learn how to:
- Use data to find variations in both cost and quality of care.
- Standardize care without demotivating underperforming outliers.
- Build a culture of data-driven care providers.
- Develop an improvement strategy that you can start today.
Sought the world over, Dr. James is a recognized expert in this outcomes improvements area. He has championed the standardization of clinical care through data collection and analysis on a wide variety of treatment protocols and complex care processes for more than 20 years.
LifeView Care ATI Solution Presented by Sprint
The document discusses a Home Intensivist Practice model called Advanced Care Management (ACM) that provides intensive home-based care for high-risk, high-cost patients through an interdisciplinary team. The ACM model is shown to reduce hospitalizations and medical costs compared to traditional care, improving outcomes and lowering spending. It also improves patients' health, quality of life, and empowerment through daily monitoring and care coordination. The model benefits insurance companies, employers, and health systems by controlling costs while maintaining benefits and networks.
Demystifying Text Analytics and NLP in Healthcare
Leading the discussion, we have two exceptional thinkers in this space, Mike Dow, a former CIO and current Health Catalyst product manager and software developer, and Dr. Carolyn Simpkins, Health Catalyst’s Chief Medical Informatics Officer.
They will share thoughts on the challenges of text in clinical analytics as well as demonstrate:
Why text is an important part of clinical analytics
Why a text search is not enough
How clinical text search can be refined with NLP techniques
When the Promise of Prehabilitation Meets the Power of Healthcare Analytics
The document discusses prehabilitation, which is physical or lifestyle preparation before surgery to help patients recover faster. It describes prehabilitation as focusing on optimizing medical conditions, physical fitness, nutrition, and psychological support before surgery. Studies show prehabilitation can reduce post-surgery costs and use of post-acute care by helping patients recover function faster after surgery. Healthcare analytics can help measure outcomes and patient adherence to prehabilitation plans in order to continue improving prehabilitation programs.
Brightree-whitepaper_4-pressures-shaping-post-acute care
The document discusses four pressures that are shaping the future of post-acute care: 1) the pressure to serve patients in the lowest-cost setting using telemedicine, telehealth, and mobile technologies; 2) the pressure to avoid readmissions and improve patient compliance; 3) the pressure to remove friction from data and workflow exchange; and 4) the pressure to prove the value of post-acute care. It recommends that post-acute care providers identify challenges, do a reality check on needed changes, and embrace pressures as opportunities to invest in technologies that improve data access, workflows, and care coordination across settings.
Patient-Centered Care Requires Patient-Centered Insight: What We Can Do To C...
Health systems and providers are inundated with measurement systems and reporting. Why would we want to add to the measurement mayhem? The real question is, “Are we measuring what matters?”
Carolyn Simpkins MD, PhD, chief medical informatics officer, will discuss how putting the patient at the center of the measurement matrix can bring coherence and completeness to the picture of care delivery performance across the patient journey, and therefore the performance of the healthcare ecosystem.
She will describe the building blocks for patient-centered measurement and how other metrics, patient-reported outcomes, and patient satisfaction fit into this approach. Carolyn will also review the challenges that have kept health systems from completing a patient-centered outcomes approach and why we are poised to break through. Finally, she will share case studies of organizations who have begun to pioneer the use of patient centered metrics to improve care and outcomes.
Healthcare Process Improvement: Six Strategies for Organizationwide Transform...
Healthcare processes drive activities and outcomes across the health system, from emergency department admissions and procedures to billing and discharge. Furthermore, in the COVID-19 era’s uncertainty, process quality is an increasingly important driver in care delivery and organizational success. Given this broad scope of impact, process improvement is intrinsically linked to better outcomes and lower costs. Six strategies for healthcare process improvement illustrate the roles of strategy, skillsets, culture, and advanced analytics in healthcare’s continuing mission of transformation.
PA Healthcare Forum Insights
The document discusses improving health in communities by aligning incentives to make health profitable. It notes the US healthcare system is strained by chronic conditions exacerbated by an aging population. Experts discuss changing models and behaviors, and how to ensure healthcare reform improves overall community health rather than just preserving existing imbalances. Key ideas discussed include making health states profitable through business models, improving data sharing and transparency, and driving behavioral changes through community efforts.
Health Homes Require More Than EHRs
Electronic health records have limitations for supporting effective population health management and care coordination required by health homes. While EHRs are designed for documenting care within provider systems, health homes require sophisticated technology to perform functions like comprehensive care planning, collecting a wide range of health data, and supporting continuous care workflows across multiple provider systems. Unlike EHRs, health management systems can enroll and track populations, establish networks, coordinate referrals, perform utilization review, and monitor quality/outcomes on a larger scale.
The Imperative of Linking Clinical and Financial Data to Improve Outcomes - H...
Quality and cost improvements require the intelligent use of financial and clinical data coupled with education for multi-disciplinary teams who are driving process improvements. Once a data warehouse is established, healthcare organizations need to set up multi-disciplinary clinical, financial, and IT specialist teams to make the best use of the data. Sometimes, financial involvement is minimized or even excluded for a number of reasons that can turn out to be counterproductive. However, including financial measurements and participation up front can help enhance the recognized value and sustainability of quality improvement or waste reduction efforts. the In this session you will learn keys to success and real-life examples of linking clinical, financial and patient satisfaction data via multi-disciplinary teams that produce impressive results.
Aligning Health Service And ICT Trends
The document outlines challenges facing the New Zealand health system and a long term framework (LTSF) to address them. Pressures include workforce shortages, rising costs and quality/safety issues. The LTSF focuses on system performance, clinical networks, and shifting care models. It also discusses the role of health information and communication technology in enabling new models of person-centered, integrated care and improving productivity. Key priorities include a national health information architecture and infrastructure to support information sharing and clinical collaboration.

When the Promise of Prehabilitation Meets the Power of Healthcare Analytics
The document discusses prehabilitation, which is physical or lifestyle preparation before surgery to help patients recover faster. It describes prehabilitation as focusing on optimizing medical conditions, physical fitness, nutrition, and psychological support before surgery. Studies show prehabilitation can reduce post-surgery costs and use of post-acute care by helping patients recover function faster after surgery. Healthcare analytics can help measure outcomes and patient adherence to prehabilitation plans in order to continue improving prehabilitation programs.
Brightree-whitepaper_4-pressures-shaping-post-acute care
The document discusses four pressures that are shaping the future of post-acute care: 1) the pressure to serve patients in the lowest-cost setting using telemedicine, telehealth, and mobile technologies; 2) the pressure to avoid readmissions and improve patient compliance; 3) the pressure to remove friction from data and workflow exchange; and 4) the pressure to prove the value of post-acute care. It recommends that post-acute care providers identify challenges, do a reality check on needed changes, and embrace pressures as opportunities to invest in technologies that improve data access, workflows, and care coordination across settings.
Patient-Centered Care Requires Patient-Centered Insight: What We Can Do To C...
Health systems and providers are inundated with measurement systems and reporting. Why would we want to add to the measurement mayhem? The real question is, “Are we measuring what matters?”
Carolyn Simpkins MD, PhD, chief medical informatics officer, will discuss how putting the patient at the center of the measurement matrix can bring coherence and completeness to the picture of care delivery performance across the patient journey, and therefore the performance of the healthcare ecosystem.
She will describe the building blocks for patient-centered measurement and how other metrics, patient-reported outcomes, and patient satisfaction fit into this approach. Carolyn will also review the challenges that have kept health systems from completing a patient-centered outcomes approach and why we are poised to break through. Finally, she will share case studies of organizations who have begun to pioneer the use of patient centered metrics to improve care and outcomes.
Healthcare Process Improvement: Six Strategies for Organizationwide Transform...
Healthcare processes drive activities and outcomes across the health system, from emergency department admissions and procedures to billing and discharge. Furthermore, in the COVID-19 era’s uncertainty, process quality is an increasingly important driver in care delivery and organizational success. Given this broad scope of impact, process improvement is intrinsically linked to better outcomes and lower costs. Six strategies for healthcare process improvement illustrate the roles of strategy, skillsets, culture, and advanced analytics in healthcare’s continuing mission of transformation.
PA Healthcare Forum Insights
The document discusses improving health in communities by aligning incentives to make health profitable. It notes the US healthcare system is strained by chronic conditions exacerbated by an aging population. Experts discuss changing models and behaviors, and how to ensure healthcare reform improves overall community health rather than just preserving existing imbalances. Key ideas discussed include making health states profitable through business models, improving data sharing and transparency, and driving behavioral changes through community efforts.
Health Homes Require More Than EHRs
Electronic health records have limitations for supporting effective population health management and care coordination required by health homes. While EHRs are designed for documenting care within provider systems, health homes require sophisticated technology to perform functions like comprehensive care planning, collecting a wide range of health data, and supporting continuous care workflows across multiple provider systems. Unlike EHRs, health management systems can enroll and track populations, establish networks, coordinate referrals, perform utilization review, and monitor quality/outcomes on a larger scale.

The Imperative of Linking Clinical and Financial Data to Improve Outcomes - H...
Quality and cost improvements require the intelligent use of financial and clinical data coupled with education for multi-disciplinary teams who are driving process improvements. Once a data warehouse is established, healthcare organizations need to set up multi-disciplinary clinical, financial, and IT specialist teams to make the best use of the data. Sometimes, financial involvement is minimized or even excluded for a number of reasons that can turn out to be counterproductive. However, including financial measurements and participation up front can help enhance the recognized value and sustainability of quality improvement or waste reduction efforts. the In this session you will learn keys to success and real-life examples of linking clinical, financial and patient satisfaction data via multi-disciplinary teams that produce impressive results.

Post # 1
Our country is one of the richest country on this planet but yet rank 37 by the World Health Organization. The health care system in the US works best if you are rich or have a decent job to pay for your own insurance. If we compare ourselves to our Canadian neighbor, they are well off than we are. Even to the point that some of our citizens that live close to the border go to Canada for treatments. One of the main problem in our health care system is the insurance companies. It appears to me that we value money or profit rather than life. The 44th president of our country put into law for our citizens to be seen or take insurance without been penalize for prior preexisting conditions. It is no secret that big companies do not like that and they continue to fight to amend Obama care and our country will never have the health care system that France, Canada, New Zealand, and Belgium citizens have.
Post # 2
The healthcare industry has undergone drastic changes in the last decade, which currently seems to be continuing that trend exponentially. With the emergence of the internet, and the technological advances with computers, people everywhere are becoming very comfortable with computer assisted devices integrating every aspect of our daily lives. This very idea has been embraced by the healthcare industry, as we can now see robots delivering medications to inpatient units, robotic surgery becoming standard in many specialties, and most importantly the emergence of electronic healthcare records (EHR)s. This technology has led to a transition from a monetary-driven healthcare system to a quality-driven healthcare system (Nelson, 2016).
EHRs have revolutionized the healthcare system and patient care. Baker (2016) noted that EHR systems have led to advancements, such as patient portals, which provides a secure way for patient and providers to communicate wirelessly and without an appointment, as well as the ability for healthcare systems to safely and securely transfer patient and files between providers and other facilities with ease. Tavares (2016) noted that due to rising costs and the current air of fiscal responsibility invading healthcare, many organizations see EHRs as a means for allowing patients to take a more active role in their healthcare, thereby allowing the system to be more efficient and cost-saving.
With the passage of the HITECH Act of 2009, and the implementation of the “meaningful use” incentives, many organizations are looking to efficiency metrics to fulfill some of these requirements (Neumeier, Butler, and Fuqua, 2016). Attaallah, Elzamzamy, Phelps, Ranganthan and Vallejo (2016) noted that one way of using an EHR for fiscal responsibility to fulfill the “meaningful use” incentive program by monitoring operating room metrics in order to assess efficiency, increase revenue through analyzin.

The document discusses the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model and its potential benefits. It summarizes that the PCMH aims to provide patient-centered, coordinated care through a personal physician leading a team. Data from other countries shows primary care-focused systems have better outcomes and lower costs. The PCMH may benefit primary care physicians through payment reform recognizing care coordination work. It may benefit patients through improved access and chronic disease management support. Subspecialists may also benefit from opportunities to lead medical homes and fewer administrative hassles.

What Veterinarians Can Learn From Physician Practice Models
Veterinarians can learn from physician practice models that aim to gain market share through innovation and niche services. Concierge medicine offers patients enhanced services for an annual retainer fee averaging $10,000. Compensation for veterinarians should balance incentives for individual and team performance with base salaries that increase with experience and responsibilities. Electronic medical records can reduce medical errors and some hospitals have seen a 7.2% lower mortality rate when using health IT.
PCEHR: The case for Change, the role of insurers and maximising benefits
PCEHR: The case for Change, the role of insurers and maximising benefitsPrivate Healthcare Australia
The document discusses the potential benefits of the PCEHR (Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record) system in Australia. It outlines five high-level categories of direct benefits: quality of care, safety of care and services, access to health services, efficiency of care and services, and promotion of population health. It also discusses how private health insurers could realize value from improved continuity of care for members and greater consumer involvement in health. Full benefits realization will require coordinated adoption across local health systems and stakeholders over time as functionality and models of care evolve.National Health Care Reform 2009
The document provides an overview of the key issues in the U.S. healthcare system and proposals for reform. It discusses problems like rising costs, uninsured populations, and disparities in quality. The reform proposals aim to expand coverage, reduce costs, and improve quality through mechanisms like insurance exchanges, individual and employer mandates, expanded Medicaid, and payment reforms. Stakeholders like insurers, providers, consumers would all be impacted by the reforms through changes to financing, coverage, and care delivery.
Poster Peg And Sirisha Final
The document discusses the meaningful use requirements of the HITECH Act which provides incentives for hospitals and providers to adopt electronic health record (EHR) systems. It evaluates three elements of meaningful use - electronic prescribing, exchange of health information, and privacy/security of patient data - and identifies both potential benefits and risks to patient safety from implementation of EHRs. While EHRs can improve care coordination and reduce errors, proper policies, workflows and software design are needed to fully realize benefits and ensure patient safety.

Closing Presentation "ACOs and Health IT: True Delivery System Reform or Another Round of Unintended Consequences?"
A fundamental component of the Affordable Care Act is support for the creation of so-called Accountable Care Organizations. Health care information technology will play a critical role in the reform process, perhaps in ways which are not yet well understood. Using the framework and early experience of a local CMS appointed ACO, this session is intended to ask questions and provide examples for how IT efforts might contribute to healthy, disruptive change in improving medical care delivery.
Learning Objectives:
∙ Consider the unintended consequences of the current IT trajectory in supporting medical care delivery in relation to the mandates of the
Affordable Care Act. Consider some opportunities for future IT contributions and what will need to occur for these opportunities to be tapped.
∙ Reflect on the historical contributions of IT in health and how there will necessarily be a shift in IT development in the future in support of
medical care delivery reform.Relationship Between RHIS and HSS
The document discusses health information systems and their role in supporting health systems. It defines key concepts like health systems, their functions and actors. It describes how health information systems can monitor and manage health system goals like coverage, quality and efficiency.

It describes several initiatives, including creating a Health Data Interoperability Laboratory to facilitate adoption of interoperability standards, examining use of prediction tools for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and developing business intelligence tools and quality reporting for healthcare providers. The overall aim is to empower citizens through supported self-management and appropriate consumer technologies.
Improving Sepsis Care: Three Paths to Better Outcomes
Sepsis affects at least 1.7 million U.S. adults per year, making it a pivotal improvement opportunity for healthcare organizations. The condition, however, has proven problematic for health systems. Common challenges including differentiating between sepsis and a patient’s acute illness and data access. In response, organizations must have comprehensive, timely data and advanced analytics capabilities to understand sepsis within their populations and monitor care programs. These tools can help organizations identify sepsis, intervene early, save lives, and sustain improvements over time.

Using technology to improve quality
Using technology can improve healthcare quality by addressing rising costs and moving to a value-based system. Key assumptions include unsustainable cost growth, payers prioritizing value over volume, and electronic health records (EHRs) and quality becoming standard. One health system improved diabetes care through EHR-enabled care management, standardized workflows, and enhanced patient engagement, achieving significant quality gains. EHRs alone are not sufficient and health systems must address fragmentation through coordinated, team-based care leveraging analytics across the healthcare ecosystem.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
