Health systems are considering monetizing patient data to support operations like drug discovery and precision medicine, but ethical concerns arise around patient consent and data commercialization. Leaders at a Becker’s Health IT conference emphasized the need for balance between innovation and patient privacy, with academic centers and startups at the forefront of leveraging data for medical advancements. Some advocate for patient-owned data and ethical frameworks to ensure responsible use.

Now that our HIT industry has spent nearly 40 years figuring out how to effectively pass data between sites, settings, and institutions of care (and while that journey isn't completely over, we're well on our way), we can finally turn and look farther down the road and consider what's next. In my view, advancing process consistency, agility, and change is that horizon. The BPM community is focused on that challenge, and having recently transitioned into HL7 as HL7 BPM, is squarely trying to take this on. With today's press release, HL7 is truly open-for-business in this space. Thanks to the OMG for nurturing this work along and for HL7 for having made our next home for this effort. So much to do! https://lnkd.in/dAF96g3n

Health systems are at a disadvantage in a consumer-focused world => Not true - leading health systems are investing in enhancing the patient experience, leveraging data/analytics, and delivering more personalized, value-based care. Health systems can't do tech is also misguided - the pandemic has accelerated digital transformation, with health systems buying innovative solutions like telehealth, RPM and AI-powered pop health and clinical decision support. The key is for health systems to take a strategic, patient-centric approach focusing on value and revenue to technology adoption.

Value-based care is not just a passing trend, but a necessary approach for healthcare facilities to not only survive but thrive. To stay ahead of the curve, consider implementing these strategies: 🛌 Develop patient-centered care pathways that prioritize individual needs.  🖥 Invest in data analytics and AI-powered tools to inform decision-making.  📈 Use Predictive Analytics to forecast patient outcomes, identify high-risk patients, and optimize resource allocation. Data Analytics Tools, when combined with AI-powered technologies like ML and NLP, can provide customized metrics for VBC Decision-Making. These tools, such as Tableau, Power BI, and SAS Analytics, can analyze code capture case mix, patient outcomes, costs, and quality metrics. They are widely used to analyze large datasets, identify trends, predict patient outcomes, and provide interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities to support VBC decision-making. They play a crucial role in identifying improvement areas and measuring the success of VBC initiatives. When the logic design is inoculated correctly, these platforms can offer the insights and capabilities necessary to inform decision-making and facilitate continuous improvement of care and reimbursement. This will ensure the sustainability and success of healthcare organizations in the era of value-based care. 📢 I would love to discuss your organization's data transparency needs. These dashboards are low-hanging fruit that can be built for maximum ROI!

This article by Heather Landi at Fierce Healthcare is a great start with good insights, but it barely scratches the surface of this new rule by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The #HTI2 rule is the first time #payers have a path for certification. In addition, there are requirements for #ai algorithms. If history is any indication, this could really change the game.. There are now certification criteria for: #PatientAccessAPI #providerDirectoryAPI #PayertoPayerDataExchangeAPI #provideraccessAPI and #priorauthorizationsupportAPI

Information Systems Research (ISR) has recently published a new article to the Articles in Advance page:   Article Title "How Hospitals Differentiate Health Information Technology Portfolios for Clinical Care Efficiency: Insights from the HITECH Act"   Authors Jessica Pye (deceased), Arizona State University Arun Rai, Georgia State University John Qi Dong, National Technological University, Singapore   Problem definition We examine how hospitals differentiate their HIT portfolios in response to cost inefficiencies in clinical care processes and HIT policy uncertainty.   Relevance Adapting HIT portfolios to address cost-based shortfalls and policy uncertainty is crucial in shaping service delivery and impacting care costs, making it a key concern for policymakers and hospital decision-makers. Theoretical foundations We combine behavioral theory and institutional theory to explain how hospitals differentiate their HIT portfolios through idiosyncratic learning in response to cost-based performance shortfalls and shifting isomorphic pressures from changes in HIT policy uncertainty.   Methodology We constructed a panel dataset of 11,316 hospital-year observations from 3,319 U.S. hospitals over 2007–2014 to investigate how hospitals’ HIT search differentiation is influenced by cost-based performance shortfalls and policy uncertainty during the phases of the HITECH Act, from conceptualization to enactment to enforcement.   Results Our research provides a key insight: Moderate policy uncertainty, particularly during the HITECH Act's phases, significantly shapes hospitals' search for novel HIT solutions to address performance shortfalls. Hospitals enhance their search differentiation when uncertainty decreases from conceptualization to enactment but reduce it as uncertainty diminishes from enactment to enforcement.   Contributions Our findings surface the utility of combining the behavioral theory of the firm with institutional theory to explain the interdependence among a hospital’s cost-based performance shortfalls, HIT policy uncertainty, and HIT search differentiation. They show how hospital managers and policymakers can reorient their strategies to leverage the interdependencies among these elements, thereby encouraging the pursuit of innovative HIT systems over widespread imitation, to effectively address cost-based performance shortfalls in hospitals.   Short quote Unlocking Healthcare Innovation: hospitals excel in deploying new technologies through peer benchmarking and navigating moderate regulatory uncertainty. Dive into our research to see the transformative impact of this benchmarking strategy combined with moderate policy uncertainty!"   #HealthcareInnovation #HITECHAct #PolicyImpact   Keywords search differentiation, health information technology, performance shortfalls, policy uncertainty, behavioral theory of the firm, institutional theory   Link to article: https://lnkd.in/djh84uad

70% of a healthcare organization’s data is trapped in legacy applications. As these applications do not support current data standards, such as FHIR, how can providers ensure easy access to this data for the needs of modern healthcare organizations? That’s the topic for this discussion between BridgeHead’s Jamie Clifton, Head of Innovation and Research, and Tim Kaschinske, Product Manager for HealthStore®. In this conversation, Jamie and Tim cover: ➡ The challenges of accessing data siloed in legacy applications  ➡ How to aggregate, manage, and harness data from disparate legacy systems found across the healthcare enterprise ➡ What are the limitations of accessing, displaying, and leveraging legacy data from static documents (such as PDFs)? How can FHIR help? ➡ How interoperability standards, such as FHIR, can help to create a 360-degree view of a patient ➡ Distinguishing the need to simply store data (for retention and compliance) and making data available as part of the longitudinal patient record ➡ What’s the relationship with between FHIR and HL7 in the new world? As always, we’re very keen to get your perspective. So, please share your thoughts on what we’ve discussed in this video in the comments ⬇⬇ #FHIR #legacydata #interoperability #healthcare

This is GREAT news... if you're a #hospital. Yeah mergers potentially save costs for hospitals but at what "cost" to patients? Price increases ranging from 6% to 30% in concentrated markets that don't even improve the quality of care?? I understand that mergers may be seen as a lifeline to avoid closure & significant service cuts. However, acquisition by larger systems lead to a focus on more profitable services, sidelining essential care like primary care & maternity services in smaller communities. #HealthcareInnovation #PatientVoice #HealthcareAdvocacy
