Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) can be of prime importance in promoting preventative care. By analyzing the cost-effectiveness of preventative measures compared to reactive treatment approaches, #HEOR helps to evaluate information about public health initiatives and preventive care services. Investing in preventative measures, such as vaccinations and health screenings, can lead to long-term cost savings for the #healthcare system by promoting population health and reducing the burden of #chronicdiseases.

Patient trust in healthcare tanked during COVID-19 pandemic New data out in JAMA Network Open outlines the negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on patient trust.

One of the consequences of COVID-19 in the U.S. has been a growing distrust of public health authorities and medical evidence by the general public. The limitations of evidence-based medicine (EBM) were also highlighted during the pandemic, contributing to increased public distrust. The challenge of incorporating EBM into medicine is becoming more complex as AI becomes more prevalent in healthcare decision-making. Its get into the fundamental question of when medicine should be a regimented rules-based system and when it should become of an art with EBM serving as a helpful guide to help direct decisions instead.

“Their local GP couldn’t access the notes from Alder Hey and the hospital couldn’t read the records held by their GP. It meant that on every appointment they had to repeat themselves again and again. The health service should be lessening their worry, not adding to their stress.” We know that we have the technological advances today to care for patients efficiently and effectively with patient-centric digital health solutions.

"The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQSC) released its Sector Performance Report for the March quarter, including outcomes from residential care site audits and home services quality reviews. In relation to residential care, the report states that Q3 audit decisions continue the trend of residential care’s relatively high compliance with the Quality Standards seen in the past four quarters. “In Q3, 84 percent of the of audits we did in fully complied with all 42 requirements of the Quality Standards. Nearly one in seven residential care services are below minimum standard in at least one area of the care they provide.” If the regulator consistently finds that one in seven homes are not meeting the minimum standards, how is it possible that the Aged Care Star Ratings system reports that only one in 50 homes are providing one- or two-star care and need to improve? (That was a purely rhetorical question: the answer is that the star ratings system is clearly deficient.) Another finding from the Sector Performance Report was that only 64 percent of home care services met all the requirements of the quality standards (down from 71 percent in the June quarter 2023). During the quarter the Commission received over 14,000 notifications of incidents in residential care under the Serious Incident Response Scheme, over half relating to unreasonable use of force, and almost a quarter to neglect. The report noted that “notifications of neglect have been increasing over time and increased again this quarter by approximately five percent”. Yet, according to the Aged Care Star Ratings system, only two percent of homes are not providing appropriate care". And yet the Minister for Mediocrity still claims the star rating system provides Australians with an accurate picture of aged care performance ... I don't think so.

In a world where medical uncertainties lurk around every corner, individuals find solace in shielding themselves from the shadows of #misdiagnosis. The rates of #diagnosticerrors and #mistreatment are more alarming than one might expect. A recent study published in the #healthcarejournal BMJ Quality & Safety reveals a staggering truth—approximately 12 million adults fall victim to misdiagnoses annually in the U.S. Even more alarming, half of these missteps hold the potential to inflict severe harm on #patients. Within the intricate and often uncertain realm of #healthcare, the concept of seeking a #secondmedicalopinion takes on profound significance. It transcends being a mere option; it becomes a path towards empowerment and informed decision-making. Beyond the surface, a second opinion delves into the core of one's health journey, offering deeper insights and a broader perspective on conditions and potential options. #digitalhealth #telehelath #teleconsultation
