OpenNotes: Transparent Clinicians' Notes for Health & IllnessOpenNotes
OpenNotes began as a research project that studied the effects of allowing patients access to their primary care doctors' visit notes. The study found that patients who read their notes felt more engaged in their care, better understood their conditions, and were better prepared for visits. Doctors had initial concerns about increased workload, but found little real impact. After one year, 99% of patients and the majority of doctors wanted to continue open notes access. The research demonstrated that open notes can help patients manage their health more effectively with little negative impact. The open notes movement has now expanded beyond primary care and many organizations are adopting the practice.
HXR 2016: The Health IoT: Remote Care and Mobile Solutions -Manu Varma, PhilipsHxRefactored

Digital technologies enable moving from reactive to proactive health by providing a longitudinal personalized overview of patients through monitoring, informatics and connected care. Philips partners with healthcare organizations to implement telehealth programs that have led to faster discharge rates from hospitals and ICUs, as well as significant cost savings through reduced readmissions. Digital technologies are transforming healthcare delivery from reactive to proactive models through connected health across settings.
Getting Fit for the Future: Community Hospitals in a Time of Transitionathenahealth
Community hospitals face many challenges including declining patient volumes, rising expenses, and Medicaid expansion in some states but not others. To thrive, community hospitals should focus on four key strategies: 1) Get control over their financials by improving billing and collections; 2) Build patient loyalty through patient engagement portals and retention efforts; 3) Improve clinician loyalty and alignment by utilizing physician extenders appropriately; and 4) Prioritize high-return projects like wellness visits and reducing readmissions. Partnerships with companies providing integrated technology and services solutions can help smaller hospitals address these challenges and build a sustainable future.

The document summarizes components of the HITECH Act and proposed rules around meaningful use of electronic health records. It discusses incentives for hospitals and providers to adopt EHRs, outlines objectives for meaningful use in 2011, and notes concerns that the timeline is too aggressive. It also describes services available through Missouri's Regional Extension Center to help providers select and implement EHRs to meet meaningful use criteria.
I have no doubt that the period we are living through will be looked at as the single biggest inflection point of our lifetimes. Every community will make an explicit decision to move forward or move further backwards.
2016: Do any of you remember what happened on March 9, 2016? Bernie/Trump; populism; economic depression; Draw on “Gone to War for Less” chapter (78% living paycheck to paycheck with most being functionally uninsured; opioid crisis; undisputed world leader’s in bankruptcy - 70% had so-called insurance). The fact is we’re already investing more than enough money to not only fund a world class hc system but fund what drives 80% of health outcomes -- what are broadly referred to as the SDoH. Today, there is a $1 trillion “tax” on the American Dream that isn’t a law...it’s a choice to accept wasted spending in hc. That “tax” would be the 15th largest economy in the world. Healthcare isn’t expensive. After all, clinicians only receive $0.27 of every $1 ostensibly spent on hc. What’s expensive is administrative bloat, price-gouging, fraud and profiteering. The result is what I’d call “hellth.”
2031: Let’s fast forward imagine a future together every community whether it’s an employer community or place-based community can focus on building what I call “wellth” that focuses on the totality of well-being. Things like a good, well-paying job, educational opportunities independent of your family history and the ability to live in a nice home in a safe neighborhood are central and are actually what drives 80% of health outcomes. The great news is you don’t have to imagine this future. You can see it with your own eyes from Florida to Alaska.
You would be hard-pressed to find more challenging pre-existing community conditions when a small group of forward-looking community members became true stewards of their community. Most didn’t have an official capacity or specific training. Rather, they simply had will...a will that is based in love for their community and can endure the inevitable challenges any time one tackles a meaningful problem.

Jeff Marks discusses strategies for medical brokers to consider as health care reform is implemented. He believes brokers will need to expand their offerings beyond traditional insurance to include ancillary products that provide added value. Specifically, he recommends telemedicine services that allow clients 24/7 access to doctors by phone for diagnosis and treatment. Telemedicine could reduce costs for employers and employees while increasing productivity. Marks also suggests other non-insurance products like discount programs and lifestyle benefits that pay brokers commissions. To prepare, brokers should develop new business models incorporating these innovative ancillary options to differentiate themselves and generate additional revenue streams.

Valence Health- Dispelling the Myth that Size Makes Might for Value-Based Pay...Rachel Brand, MS
1) While large healthcare systems are often seen as best positioned for value-based payments, community hospitals and middle market providers may have distinct advantages. Control over the care continuum and relationships with providers, not size or ownership, are what really enable success with value-based models.
2) A provider needs to influence at least 30% of physicians' patient panels to effectively change behaviors. They also need a sufficient population of patients and lives to attract payors to risk-based contracts and start their own health plans.
3) Community hospitals tend to have a cost advantage over academic medical centers and may be better able to meet quality goals in primary care-focused risk contracts given their ties to local providers. With committed leadership

Aimia designs business loyalty solutions informed by data to deliver the six engagement elements through strategies, training, events, and recognition programs. For Subaru, Aimia developed an online portal providing metrics and curricula to boost sales and satisfaction, doubling sales for certified employees versus non-certified.
The term “inflection point” has multiple definitions. In differential calculus, an inflection point is a point on a curve at which the concavity changes from positive curvature to
negative curvature, or vice versa. In political science, an inflection point is a moment in history that dramatically alters a geopolitical situation, for better or worse. In business, Intel co-founder Andy Grove has described a strategic inflection point as “an event that changes the way we think and act.” Each of these definitions describes a moment at which our fortunes change — and in many cases, we can’t recognize the moment until
after it’s passed.
The document discusses different types of mobile-assisted shoppers (M-Shoppers) who use smartphones in stores. It identifies five unique types of M-Shoppers: Exploiters, Savvys, Price-Sensitives, Traditionalists, and Experience-Seekers. The percentages of each type are provided. The document encourages downloading a full report on showrooming and M-Shopper behavior and strategies for retailers to keep their business.
Researchers tlooked at the attitudes, shopping patterns and motivations of 3000 leading-edge consumers in the U.S., UK and Canada. The goal was to better understand how mobile devices are impacting in-store shopping habits by identifying those shoppers most likely to have “showroomed” — visited a store and saw a product they liked, but then purchased it online instead of from the store, and by outlining actions retailers can take, such as loyalty programs, price matching, free shipping and mobile payments to encourage consumers to open their wallets in-store.
The results paint a clear picture of today’s mobile assisted shoppers – or M-shopper – and debunks commonly held assumptions many brick-and-mortar retailers make about retail show roomers. Some of the highlights include:
Showrooming isn’t just for the Millennial Generation: Contrary to popular belief, 74 percent of M-shoppers are older than 29 years old.
Mobile devices can actually improve the chances of an in-store purchase: More than 50 percent of M-Shoppers are more likely to purchase a product in-store when their mobile device helps them find online reviews, information or trusted advice.
Price isn’t always the most important factor: Although “price checking” is the number one action of M-Shoppers, convenience, urgency, and immediacy are the top three reasons why M-Shoppers will buy in-store even if they find the same product cheaper online.
Loyalty programs are worth more than just their points: 48 percent of M-Shoppers say that being a member of a store’s loyalty program makes them more likely to purchase products in-store, despite equal or cheaper prices online.
With the rapid increase of mobile, social, and game industries, the training market will not only grow exponentially but also transform itself driven by these technologies.
Based on a study of 2,000 channel partners, incentive programs can lead to positive business outcomes. The study found that 87% of participants felt rewarded and appreciated by incentive programs. Incentive trips recognize employees for jobs well done. Channel programs that used incentives realized significant returns, with dealers who participated exceeding sales targets compared to those who did not. Incentive programs can increase sales, revenues, and market share when designed well with clear communication and measurable goals.
More organizations are expanding their workforces in 2012 compared to 2010, with over 40% hiring more employees. However, engagement levels are lower than in 2010. Nearly 60% of organizations expect voluntary turnover to increase as the job market improves. Pay and career advancement opportunities, which suffered during the recession, need to be improved to boost engagement before implementing additional non-cash rewards.
Infographic -- Incorporating Corporate Social Responsbility into Incentive Pr...David Nickelson, PsyD, JD
Corporate social responsibility programs can benefit companies in several ways when incorporated into incentive programs according to a white paper from the Incentive Marketing Association. Such programs can help attract and retain employees as well as customers. Employees exhibit strong loyalty to companies with CSR programs and 38% of consumers buy brands that support causes. Incorporating CSR into incentive programs should include determining a beneficiary, demonstrating commitment, outlining objectives, allowing employee participation, and ensuring donations are tracked.
This document provides a summary of Ted's MMA company. It discusses the company's major investors, including a $1 million investment from Ice Cube. It also outlines the company's revenues, including over $5 million in revenue and growth rates of 62% for apparel and 41% for health and fitness.

Gamification is the process of using game mechanics and design thinking to engage and motivate people. It is not about simply adding games to websites. Common game elements used in gamification include points, badges, leaderboards, progress bars, levels and virtual goods. Gamification is an important trend because the average 21 year old will have spent 10,000 hours gaming, more time than in middle or high school. By 2014, 70% of Global 2000 companies are expected to have at least one gamified application. Companies will spend $2.8 billion on gamification initiatives by 2016.

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.
