Population health management is a problem term because it can mean something different to each person who hears it. However, I believe that the words capture the overall spirit and energy of healthcare reform in a unique way. Providers are thinking big when it comes to a patient’s engagement, responsibility, and preventative care, and they’re leveraging technology to do it. I discuss an overall picture of PHM, present some useful technology, and tell a few PHM stories herein.
Patient-Centered Care Requires Patient-Centered Insight: What We Can Do To C...Health Catalyst
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.
Three Strategies to Deliver Patient-Centered Care in the Next NormalHealth Catalyst
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.

This presentation explains how population health is fundamental to value-based delivery models, including key principles and definitions of PHM, as well as how to assess your organization’s “population health readiness.”
The Doctor’s Orders for Engaging Physicians to Drive ImprovementsHealth Catalyst
Physicians drive the majority of all quality and cost decisions, yet reimbursement pressures, competing time pressures, misaligned incentives, and a lack of credible data often make engaging clinicians in improvement work one of the biggest challenges in healthcare.
David Wild, MD, MBA, and Jack Beal, JD, explore how to spread data to the edges of the organization and engage physicians in leading a continuum of improvement across an entire organization.
During this webinar, our presenters:
• Identify the levels of physician leadership in your organization you can engage to drive improvement.
• Pinpoint the types of data and information of most interest to physician leaders.
• Propose several ways data to use data to engage physicians in leading improvement work.
• Help you develop at least one mechanism you can use to better engage physicians in improvement work at your organization.

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.
The Top Five Recommendations for Improving the Patient ExperienceHealth Catalyst
Improving patient satisfaction scores and the overall patient experience of care is a top priority for health systems. It’s a key quality domain in the CMS Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program (25 percent) and it’s an integral part of the IHI Triple Aim. But, despite the fact that health systems realize the importance of improving the patient experience of care, they often use patient satisfaction as a driver for outcomes. This article challenges this notion, instead recommending that they use patient satisfaction as a balance measure; one of five key recommendations for improving the patient experience:
Use patient satisfaction as a balance measure—not a driver for outcomes.
Evaluate entire care teams—not individual providers.
Use healthcare analytics to understand and act on data.
Leverage innovative technology.
Improve employee engagement.
This article also explains why patient experience is so closely tied to quality of care, and why it’s a prime indicator of a healthcare organization’s overall health.

Quality Data is Essential for Doctors Concerned with Patient EngagementHealth Catalyst
It might be a bit of a leap to associate quality data with improving the patient experience. But the pathway is apparent when you consider that physicians need data to track patient diagnoses, treatments, progress, and outcomes. The data must be high quality (easily accessible, standardized, comprehensive) so it simplifies, rather than complicates, the physician’s job. This becomes even more important in the pursuit of population health, as care teams need to easily identify at-risk patients in need of preventive or follow-up care. Patients engaged in their own care via portals and personal peripherals contribute to the volume and quality of data and feel empowered in the process. This physician and patient engagement leads to improved care and outcomes, and, ultimately, an improved patient experience.
Learn how CORUS is enabling these significant improvements:
Integration of EHR data, including patient-level clinical and operational data, as well as departmental and equipment resource-utilization data, delivering the first truly comprehensive view of the true cost of patient care
Manufacturing-style activity-based costing that is scalable and maintainable, freeing analysts to focus on identifying variation and cost-saving opportunities
Embedded costing knowledge including best practices, rules, and algorithms from world-renowned academic healthcare institutions, accelerating cost management transformation

Challenges healthcare faces in making patient data actionable:
A. Automating chart review for quality measures, medical necessity review.
B. Categorizing patient risk for appropriate reimbursement in capitated payment models
C. Enhancing diagnostics, enabling differential diagnosis
D. Discovering correlations with predictive analytics
E. Automating administrative functions, such as scheduling, follow-up care
The Key to Transitioning from Fee-for-Service to Value-Based ReimbursementsHealth Catalyst
The shift from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursements has good and bad consequences for healthcare. While the shift will ultimately help health systems provide higher quality lower cost care, the transition may be financially disastrous for some. In addition, the shifting revenue mix from commercial payers to Medicare and Medicaid is creating its own set of challenges. There are, however, three keys to surviving the transition: 1) Effectively manage shared savings programs to maximize reimbursement. 2) Improve operating costs. 3) Increase patient volumes. With an analytics foundation, health systems will be able to meet and survive today’s healthcare challenges.

Zero Sepsis Deaths: A Dialogue of Passion and Practical Wisdom on Sepsis Prev...Health Catalyst
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.
Healthcare Process Improvement: Six Strategies for Organizationwide Transform...Health Catalyst
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.
Why Clinical Quality Should Be Your Core Business StrategyHealth Catalyst
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.

Use ACE Scores in Machine Learning to Predict Disease Earlier and Improve Out...Health Catalyst
The Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) study conducted by the CDC and Kaiser Permanent showed a strong correlation between ACEs and negative health outcomes later in life (e.g., risky health behaviors, chronic health conditions, and early death). ACE scores help paint a more complete picture of a person’s health history—a more comprehensive data snapshot of the entire patient.
Given that ACE scores build better data sets and machine learning relies on high-quality data, health systems should incorporate these nutrient-rich data sources into their machine learning models to better predict negative health outcomes, allow for earlier interventions, and improve outcomes.
Healthcare machine learning is evolving to use ACE scores and lifestyle data (e.g., eating habits) to improve population health management.

To lower health costs, physician networks and medical homes must employ a closed loop population management program that focus on patient SOH stratification, chronic disease management, care coordination and incentive management. This approach will enable them to consistently reduce ER and inpatient admissions, which are the greatest expenditures in health care today.
How to Assess the ROI of Your Population Health InitiativeHealth Catalyst
In the brave new world of value-based healthcare, investing in population health management (PHM) is a requirement for success. Defining PHM isn’t easy, but there is one common term that appears among all the diverse interpretations—outcomes. Assessing the potential ROI for investments in PHM using a clear, understandable framework, can help organizations methodically identify and prioritize their PHM investments. While not every PHM intervention makes sense for every situation, it is important to determine which programs provide the most benefit, as well as determining when the investment will begin paying dividends, to achieve success in the era of PHM.
Landmark Review of Population Health ManagementHealth Catalyst
Population health management (PHM) is in its early stages of maturity, suffering from inconsistent definitions and understanding, overhyped by vendors and ill-defined by the industry. Healthcare IT vendors are labeling themselves with this new and popular term, quite often simply re-branding their old-school, fee-for-service, and encounter-based analytic solutions. Even the analysts —KLAS, Chilmark, IDC, and others—are also having a difficult time classifying the market. In this paper, I identify and define 12 criteria that any health system will want to consider in evaluating population health management companies. The reality of the market is that there is no single vendor that can provide a complete PHM solution today. However there are a group of vendors that provide a subset of capabilities that are certainly useful for the next three years.

With the transition to value, payers are insisting that pharmaceutical manufacturers deliver real world evidence of their drug’s efficacy before being allowed on formulary. The cost of new specialty treatments has forced companies to bolster and go beyond clinical trial, proving that their drugs improve health outcomes and reduce the cost of care in actual use. Gathering and compiling the myriad of needed data points requires a digital strategy that connects patients, providers, and payers. These comprehensive digital technology platforms are also effective tools for delivering competitive differentiation, better speed to market, and a source for new and expanded revenues.
Decisio Health provides an FDA cleared class II medical device that displays real-time actionable information with the goal of increasing clinical guideline adherence, which has been shown to improve clinical outcomes and reduce hospital costs. It is a clinical decision support tool for use in hospitals.
Learn how Hahnemann University Hospital reduced readmissions at the Center for Advanced Heart Failure Care by over 20%. This is a follow up to our Fall 2014 webinar with more data and outcomes to reveal. During this discussion, you’ll learn the positive impact a Readmissions Reduction program can have for a hospital including financial, care delivery, and care team collaboration improvements.
The healthcare delivery model is being transformed and each stakeholder has an integral part to play in its much needed success. Healthcare delivery organizations, payers, and employers have typically shouldered much of this responsibility, and now patients are being added to the mix as their consumer influence and purchasing power grows. Porter Research President Cynthia Porter will explore this evolution and the industry trends that have turned previously backseat patients into some of healthcare's most powerful drivers.

Improving quality of care, using existing assets better and reducing medical ...NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

A mobile health idea exchange and collaboration hub facilitating all healthcare stakeholders (e.g. providers, payers, physicians, therapist, caregivers) to develop applications and systems to care for their patients no matter where in the world they are when they need the care.
This is for my Medical Banking Group discussion. Back in 2009, I created a business model combining a credit card (in this case AMEX) with a medical claims
processing system that would pay the provider immediately the patient
portion plus a discounted amount that would come from the insurer. When the
insurer paid the credit card company the ccc would keep the difference
while the patient also paid the ccc their copayment. Within the system
would be a cost containment system pushing the risk of coverage back to the
provider assuring clinical need!
This is a dicussion about the 2010 Health Reform Laws, what they mean to the local community, employers, business, and citizens of the community, and what the opportunity is under health reform for communities to retake control of their health care finance plan and build on their personal relationship with their health care providers.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

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
