Hypotheses were developed for each aim. Data sources and measures were identified for evaluating the hypotheses. The study received NIH funding.
The integration of primary care and public health can help improve population health outcomes. Successful programs have strong partnerships between medical organizations, public health departments, and community groups. They focus on preventing health issues like obesity and asthma through community-wide efforts such as health education and improving housing conditions. Data is used to identify health priorities and measure the impact of interventions on outcomes like emergency room visits and costs. Government agencies are recognizing the importance of this approach through new payment models that support coordinated care.
The document outlines a strategy for transforming healthcare delivery and financing through a Health 3.0 model. Key elements include integrating pharmacy services into primary care, using health information exchanges and care coordination, implementing value-based payment models, promoting self care and wellness programs, creating a transparent medical marketplace, and addressing social determinants of health. The overall aim is to develop an accessible, affordable, and high-quality healthcare system.

This document summarizes research contrasting two measures of health insurance literacy and their relationship to health care access. The researchers analyzed data from a 2015 Minnesota health survey. They found that:
1) Understanding insurance terminology was associated with higher confidence in getting needed care and lower odds of forgone care, while proactive insurance use correlated with lower odds of forgone care.
2) Correlates of health insurance literacy, such as education, varied between the two measures.
3) Both measures captured distinct concepts and translated to improved access, though proactive use only predicted forgone care and not confidence in care.
4) The researchers concluded both measures have value but more work is needed to better operationalize

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 comprehensive care planning, collect a wide range of health data, and support continuous care workflows across multiple provider systems. Specifically, EHRs lack functionality for enrollment tracking, network management, cross-system referrals, utilization review, claims adjudication, and quality reporting needed by health homes' risk-based population management approach.

Why Is There A Need For Healthcare Data Aggregation.pptxPersivia Inc
Healthcare Data Aggregation is crucial in streamlining information, improving patient care, and enhancing overall healthcare outcomes. Aggregating healthcare data allows for the creation of comprehensive patient profiles by pulling information from various sources such as electronic health records (EHRs), wearable devices, and diagnostic tools. This holistic view enables healthcare professionals to make more informed decisions about patient care.
Value-Based Care and Healthcare Consumerism: Opportunities for Health IT and ...Cognizant
Health IT and technology solutions are central in the shift to value-based care and to meeting the demands of patient consumerism. Hurdles remain, but all primary players in the healthcare ecosystem, patients, providers and payers, are seeking more and better data, platform interoperability, real-time and actionable analytical insights, and more effective engagement.
Why Electronic Health Records are Ill Suited for Population Health 012616infomc
Electronic health records are ill-suited for population health management for several reasons. EHRs were designed to manage patient data within individual healthcare systems and have limited ability to track health information from outside sources or support integrated care across multiple providers. Population health management requires more sophisticated technology that can perform functions like enrollment tracking, provider networking, utilization review, claims processing, and quality reporting that are beyond the scope of most EHRs. While EHRs are important for individual medical practices, organizations taking on financial risk for patient populations need systems designed for the specific demands of population health management.

Healthcare by Any Other Name - Centricity Business WhitepaperGE Healthcare - IT
This document discusses new models of healthcare delivery such as accountable care organizations and integrated health organizations that aim to improve outcomes and reduce costs through greater coordination and integration of care. It summarizes that these models seek to address long-standing issues with the traditional fragmented healthcare system such as its focus on episodic treatment rather than prevention. Critical to enabling these new models is developing an information technology infrastructure that includes electronic medical records, revenue cycle management systems, clinical decision support, and health information exchange capabilities to facilitate data sharing and population health management.
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.
Evolution of Health Care Paper and TimelineThere are specifi.docxSANSKAR20
Evolution of Health Care Paper and Timeline
There are specific trends from manual to electronic operations in the health care facilities, healthcare providers and similar businesses operators. The evolution has taken place within the health care providers, administrative data and the insurance plans as well. The health care industries have automated several procedures such as the supply of drugs and accurate record keeping (Loker 2012). Electronic health care uses sophisticated technology unlike the manual one; this advanced technology has been applied in the provision of health care all over the world hence saving both time and cost It has also widened and perfected the scope of operation.
How has this change impacted the quality of care?
The change to electronic medical records has proven to be successful and helpful in providing quality patient care. Some ways that it has helped is improving patient care, increasing patient participation, improved care coordination, improved diagnostic and patient outcomes, and practice efficiencies and cost savings. (HealthIT.gov). Patients are able to be more involved in the patient care process and are able to access to their records which was not possible in the past. The transporting of records from one physician to another is much quicker now because it can be done by a click of a button. When needing to send a patient to a specialist or when getting an authorization for a patient’s recommended treatment can be done a lot quicker as well. This is speeding up the process in being able to provide quick and quality care so the patient does not need to wait as long as they would have had to in the past.
Percentage of physicians whose electronic health records provided selected benefits
(HealthIT.gov)
Electronic medical records has proven to be a good thing for both the medical provider as well as the patient and it has decreased the wait times to results or any potential errors and enhanced patient care.
Did Societal beliefs and values influence this change? Why or why not?
The health care delivery system in our country has its roots in the beliefs and values of the people (Shi & Singh, 2012). The firm belief in technological innovations leads to higher expectations of people, which has fueled the growth in technological innovations. The culture of individualism has led the medical practice to keep the individual healthy. Patients tend to evaluate the institutions by their acquisition of advanced technology. The expectation of Americans on what technology can do to cure illness is higher compared to the Canadians and Germans (Shi & Singh, 2012, p. 168). The societal beliefs and values impact not only the structure of health care delivery but also the training of health care providers.
The use of EHRs provided access to patients’ records on demand and have improved the quality of health care (Shi & Singh, 2012). Although the EHRs were to improve the quality of health care delivery, many ...
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.
This document discusses the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model and its benefits. It provides examples of how the PCMH approach coordinates care through a team-based approach focused on managing patient populations, uses data to drive decisions and improve outcomes, and shifts care away from episodic visits to proactive health management. Studies show the PCMH approach can reduce costs through lower utilization of emergency rooms, hospitals, and specialty care while improving quality of care and patient outcomes.
Informatics and healthcare disparities 2014dcarla904
The document discusses health disparities and barriers to healthcare access in the United States. It notes that factors like financial concerns, geography, literacy, race, culture and others can contribute to population-specific differences in disease burden and access to care. Some populations experience disproportionately higher rates of chronic illnesses and mortality from certain causes. Efforts are needed to improve access, reduce disparities, and accelerate quality improvement, especially around preventive care and patient safety, in order to ensure all patients receive high-quality care.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
