W1 pt2 - Health Informatics

slides 54-67

what is health informatics

the integration of healthcare, computer, information, and cognitive sciences to assist in the management of healthcare information

what do health informatics do

deal with resources/devices/methods required to optimize the use of information in health care

what is a learning health system (LHS)

a system that routinely collects information to use for continuous improvement and innovation

what is the baseline to become a LHS?

when a health system can continuously and routinely study and improve themselves

what is the goal of an LHS

to identify and promote the best care practices at the lowest cost

what are the steps in a LHS implementation

data acquisition infrastructure, nudge clinicians to collect data in daily practice, synthesize data, feed results back to clinicians and leaders

what are the 4 parts of the quadruple aim

improved client experience, improved staff experience, lower cost of care, better health outcomes

how do you learn what data to collect in a LHS?

create clear questions and develop the capacity to measure in real time

what is the goal of data collection in a LHS

to discover what works for what conditions under what circumstances for what outcomes at what cost

what is an important baseline of OMs to set in a LHS

everyone will collect the same small number of key measures

using the ___ algorithm and __ ___ care resulted in __% of patients in the study exceeding the MDC, indicating that __ ____ ___

correct, guideline adherent, 87, implementing evidence matters

why do we want prognostic or outcomes based treatment

we want to be value-based while being cost-effective

currently the system uses a _____ model, but the goal for the future is to use a _____ model

biomedical, value-based

what does a common data model to

uses standardized definitions to help ensure data consistency and accuracy across the organization
