This document discusses the need to shift from a healthcare system focused on treatment of illness to a population health system focused on preventative care. It notes rising healthcare costs in the US and projections that Medicare and Medicaid will consume all tax revenue by 2050 without reforms. The document outlines Trinity Health's vision of building a "people-centered health system" through initiatives in population health management, care management, and addressing social determinants of health. It provides examples of Trinity Health's work in accountable care organizations, bundled payments, and community engagement initiatives.

Patient Centered Medical home talk at WVUPaul Grundy
To employers the cost of healthcare is now a business issue and this talk is about what one large buyer IBM did to drive transformation via broad coalition with other large employers to form the Patient Centered Medical Home movement and the covenant between buyer and provider away from the garbage we now buy episodic uncoordinated disintegrated care. In the change of convenient conversation we have worked with the Primary care providers to give us coordinated, integrated, accessible and compressive care with a set of principles know as the Patient centered medical home.
A Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) happens when primary care healers keeping that core healing relationship with their patients step up to become specialists in Family and Community Medicine. The move is to the discipline of leading a team that delivers population health management, patent centered prevention, care that is coordination, comprehensive accessible 24/7 and integrated across a deliver system. PCMH happens when the specialists in Family and Community Medicine wake up every morning and ask the question how will my team improve the health of my community today?
All over the world three huge factors are in play that is driving the concept of Patient Centered Medical Home. They are:
1) Cost and demography
2) Information technology and data (information that is actionable will equal a demand for accountability by the payer or buyer of the care)
3) Consumer demand to engage healthcare differently (at least as well as they can their bank- on line) have a question about lab results why not e-mail?
But at its core it is a move toward integration of a healing relationship in primary care and population management all at the point of care with the tools to do just that.

How can health accounts inform health sector investments? Lessons from countr...HFG Project
Countries must have a firm grasp on their health financing landscape in order to ensure sufficient and effective use of resources. Health Accounts—an internationally standardized methodology that allows a country to understand the source, magnitude, and flow of funds through its health sector—provide a wealth of information on past spending. When combined with macroeconomic, health utilization, and health indicator data, Health Accounts provide powerful insights for health financing policy.
USAID’s Health Finance and Governance (HFG) project supports countries to institutionalize their Health Accounts so that they are produced regularly and efficiently, and are a useful tool for policymakers. In this technical briefing webinar, held June 29, 2016, HFG experts used country examples to demonstrate how Health Accounts have been (and can be) used to inform national health financing decisions. The experts also provided perspectives on the future of Health Accounts.

USAID’s Office of Health Systems and the HFG Project recently launched the Impact of Health Systems Strengthening on Health report, which for the first time presents a significant body of peer-reviewed evidence linking health systems strengthening interventions to measurable impacts on health outcomes. The report identifies 13 types of health systems strengthening interventions with quantifiable effects. It shares evidence on how to strengthen health system performance to achieve sustainable health improvements at scale, particularly toward EPCMD, an AFG, and protecting communities against infectious diseases. Interventions were found to be associated with reductions in mortality and morbidity for a range of conditions, including diarrhea, malnutrition, low birth weight, and diabetes. HSS interventions are also associated with improvements in service utilization, financial protection, and quality service provision.
Strengthening the Health Workforce to Improve Quality and Achieve Universal H...HFG Project
Universal health coverage (UHC) means anyone can access necessary, good quality health care without suffering financial hardship. A strong health workforce is crucial to achieving UHC, but poor quality pre-service training and governance often weaken the health workforce. In many countries, governments and families alike spend their limited funds on pre-service training institutions that graduate health workers with inadequate skills, which can result in poor patient care and poor health outcomes. Further, some governments do not provide strong stewardship of the health workforce, and miss critical opportunities to improve morale, retention, and skills.
This presentation focuses on three countries that are taking a systems approach to solving these two problems, with help from HFG: Haiti, Côte d’Ivoire, and Swaziland.
In Haiti, HFG is working with the Ministry of Health to bolster its process for accrediting nursing education institutions, known as reconnaissance. More than 40 schools have already received the new accreditation. The government of Côte D’Ivoire identified task-sharing between nurses/midwives and doctors for HIV care as a key strategy to improve HIV outcomes. HFG is supporting the Ministry of Health in developing policies and training programs on task-sharing to integrate into health worker training curricula. In Swaziland, HFG is working with the government to establish standardized hiring and compensation policies for health workers, and to strengthen human resource information systems. HFG also worked with the Swaziland Nursing Council to strengthen their capacity to regulate the nursing profession and expand nursing competencies to incorporate international best practices.
Recent advances in the evidence base for technology-based behavioral health applications have provided clinicians a better understanding and guidance on the integration of these tools into clinical care. Participants will learn about research findings on current technologies in use in clinical practice, such as audio conferencing, video conferencing, and virtual reality, in addition to tools available for use between patients, such as the use of websites and mobile applications and wearable sensors.

Essential Packages of Health Services: A Landscape Analysis of 24 EPCMD Count...HFG Project
On Wednesday, January 20, USAID’s Office of Health Systems (GH/OHS) and the Health Finance & Governance (HFG) Project hosted a technical briefing session to explore essential packages of health services (EPHS) in the 24 USAID Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths (EPCMD) priority countries. An EPHS is a public policy tool for governing the health sector; it comprises those health care services that the government is providing or is aspiring to provide to its citizens in an equitable manner.
Jodi Charles (USAID/GH/OHS), Jeremy Kanthor (HFG), and Jenna Wright (HFG) presented HFG’s recently completed analysis of the 24 EPCMD countries’ EPHS and government strategies for guaranteeing those health services. The technical briefing presented the cross-cutting themes identified through the analysis and included a discussion about how EPHS contributes to better governance of the health sector.
The briefing, which was held at USAID and made available via webinar, drew a large audience of more than 75 participants, including USAID staff, implementing partners, and ministry of health staff from partner countries.
“This is a tremendously rich data set because it helps us to see the gaps, and it will help us to target our efforts toward those gaps,” said Karen Cavanaugh, Director of USAID’s Office of Health Systems, during the question and answer session.
The technical briefing presentation and country snapshots are available on the HFG website.

Tracxn Healthcare Analytics Landscape Report, September 2016Tracxn
In 2016, the healthcare analytics sector saw a significant consolidation activity with 14 major acquisitions, the largest being IBM's acquisition of Truven Health Analytics for $2.6B in February.
The hospitals of UMass Memorial Health Care work with their respective communities to address identified needs of the medically underserved. Each hospital offers a number of community benefits programs that link our vast clinical and community resources to overcome barriers to accessing care and addressing health disparities. Our 2013 Community Benefits Report highlights some of these programs that meet the needs of vulnerable populations.
The goal of this webinar is to help healthcare professionals improve care coordination for patients with advanced illness and to reduce hospital readmissions and length of stay (LOS).
Architecture Before Experience - EuroIA Amsterdam 2016 Bogdan Stanciu
Spending $9.715 per capita (The World Bank, 2013), the United States sits on top of the world of total health expenditures, but ranks only 33rd in population health. With 165.169 mHealth applications available for download to more than two-thirds of Americans who own a smartphone, one might think the digital revolution is going to cure everyone. However, the healthcare industry is failing the care model. Facing disruption in an open, competitive marketplace, the big insurance and big pharma, along with the hospital-based medical systems are trying to ride the wave of digital transformation in the most archaic way: adding a digital silo to their organisational chart. Battling conflicting workflows, poor integrations of a wide range of applications, and legacy policies and infrastructure, digital is as challenged as its peers in the marketing, patient experience, physician relationships, and consumer product departments to produce a comprehensive strategy for transformation. The good news is that medical systems are just that: systems. And like every other systems in the world, they can be designed.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Each section is designed to help healthcare professionals monitor and improve care delivery for patients facing serious illnesses. Understand how to implement these metrics in your palliative care practices for better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
