The MetroHealth System (Cleveland, OH) has developed an innovative no-show predictive model to #enhance patient care. By using #data analytics, this model accurately predicts appointment no-shows, allowing the healthcare system to proactively manage schedules and improve #clinical #efficiency. This initiative not only optimizes resources but also ensures patients receive timely care, reducing overall #healthcarecosts and #improvingpatientoutcomes.

Many underserved communities lack adequate healthcare access. Virtual care helps fill these gaps. Pharmacists can provide remote services to rural areas and inner cities. Outreach to at-risk communities reminds us of pharmacy's expansive reach. Telehealth brings care directly to people struggling with access and pharmacists have the power to coordinate social services alongside medical needs. While gaps remain, remote care represents a step towards more equitable access. Have you helped expand services to underserved groups? Please share advice on how pharmacists can drive change. #underservedcare #healthaccess #socialdeterminants

Delivering care to an aging population - Omnia Health Insights Title: Delivering Care to an Aging Population #Challenges in Healthcare Delivery The blog post discusses the challenges healthcare providers face when delivering care to an aging population, including managing chronic conditions, coordinating care across multiple providers, and ensuring patient safety. #Role of Technology in Addressing Challenges Technology plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges by enabling remote monitoring, facilitating communication between healthcare providers, and improving medication management for elderly patients. #Telehealth Solutions for Elderly Patients Telehealth solutions have become increasingly popular for elderly patients, allowing them to receive care from the comfort of their homes and reducing the need for frequent hospital visits. #Importance of Data Security in Healthcare Data security is a critical aspect of healthcare delivery, especially when dealing with ai.mediformatica.com #health #healthcare #this #aging #healthcareathome #trend #digitalhealth #healthit #healthtech #healthcaretechnology @MediFormatica (https://buff.ly/3VYLSKA)

💡 Wondering how to assess the effectiveness of digital tools for your #patients? Here's a quick guide: When recommending digital tools to patients, effectiveness is key. But assessing #evidence in #digitalhealth requires knowing what "good" looks like. It's about considering functionality, focus area, target audience, and intended use. One size doesn't fit all. Proportionality matters. That's where evidence standards frameworks (#ESFs) come in. They tier digital health products based on their #IntendedUse, helping identify the type of evidence needed. For instance, a #DigitalTherapeutic, like a #mentalhealth #chatbot, might require an RCT, but for a mobile headache diary, user reviews and evidence of user acceptance may be sufficient. Similarly, a #physiotherapy #HealthApp for elderly balance improvement should have evidence from a sample of older adults; if it only has evidence of benefit in young, fit adults, then it's unable to evidence the benefits with respect to its intended purpose. To quickly assess the evidence of a #digitahealth product: 🔎 Identify its intended purpose. 📃Use an evidence standard framework (like NICE's). 👨👩👧👦Ensure the evidence supports the intended use of product - are the sample, setting and outcomes relevant to the intended purpose? 💻ORCHA users can visit the professional assurance tab on each #HealthApp for insights on ESF tier, evidence base, and compliance. #DigitalHealth #EvidenceBasedPractice #HealthcareTech #ORCHA #NICE #Clinicians

"The outlook in some professions (media and administrative support) is dour in the face of #ai advancements. Others, like home health care and elderly support services, will have riches poured on them as the nation’s population ages." #governments, #highereducation and companies like CareAcademy will ensure this demand is met. OndeCare (a Techstars portfolio company) will ensure they are empowered and paid what they are worth when they get here and stem the cost of in-home care at the same time. hashtag #winwin #futurecareers are in #homehealth and #family support!

Congratulations to Senior Research Fellow Foong Pin Sym and team for winning the Best Paper Award at the 2024 CHI conference, out of over 4000 submissions. The ACM CHI Best Paper Awards honor the top 1% of submissions, selected from the top 5% nominated by chairs. The winning team’s paper, “Designing for Caregiver-facing Values Elicitation Tools,” addresses the need for better decision-making tools for caregivers of incapacitated patients. The study developed five prototypes and found that #caregivers need help reconciling patient and personal values, prefer using tools alone, and often lack understanding of the role of values in decision-making. These insights inform the design of online tools for caregivers. Read more at https://lnkd.in/ezwupZCF #NUS #NUSPublicHealth #publichealth #SSHSPH #health
