Rose Rosenfeld wrote a new post, Driving Patient Engagement with the Universal Health Information Network (UNHIN) 4 years, 9 months ago
Patient engagement is a crucial element in population health management and involves encouraging patients to take an active role in improving their health. In order to better engage patients, not only do providers […]
-
Implementing this type of collaboration and transparency while still keep data highly secure is one of the most exciting parts of the UNHIN!
-
Thanks for sharing this Rose, this is very insightful. Opennotes has impacted 33.5M+ patients which is amazing. UNHIN has the potential to take it to the next level, as the medical records would be easily accessible and in a more organized way to the patients.
-
Great Rose !
-
Studies have shown that when patients are engaged and more involved in their health care, the results are improved quality outcomes and healing time
-
When patients fully understand and have more access to their information, patients have more involvement and accountability and desire to be involved in their care prognosis and outcomes . They take ownership !
-
Yes patient ownership of their medical records not only increases transparency and reduces fraud but also helps the treating clinician to access a patients health history which is crucial to quality care!
This is really something that needs to happen in order to balance “information inequality” between patient and doctor!
-
Thanks Dr. Younesi, I like the fraud component that you outline. Its a great point. With more transparency peer review between physicians will happen automatically and definitely reduce fraud.

Rose Rosenfeld wrote a new post, Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) are an emerging global trend in the delivery of health care 4 years, 10 months ago
As health care facilities that provide same-day surgical care, Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) are an emerging global trend in the delivery of health care. With many states newly adopting the Delivery System […]

A very positive trend towards cost reduction & quality of care.
The patients must be undergoing diagnostics & lab test prior to coming for surgeries.
The most important factor is that ASC’s are highly regulated to ensure quality and safety.We in India have centers run by doctors, mushrooming all over the country, but few are accredited. Nevertheless, some do provide quality healthcare. National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH ), a body that came into being in 2006, has developed Accreditation Programs for varied Healthcare Services. But NABH Accreditation so far is a voluntary process and therefore it is entirely up to the healthcare organisation whether to adopt it or not.
However, with progressive reforms coming up, it may soon be mandatory to get NABH Accreditation, keeping in line with, “First Do No Harm.”-
Yes it is just like urgent care centers !
-
Its nice that India finally created the governing body.
In addition, to ensuring quality and safety the accreditation also provides opportunity to the hospital to benchmark with the best in the industry. Benchmarks are vital part of total quality management. In a 2018 survey conducted by Health Catalyst, 72 percent of executives said to identify and prioritize improvement opportunities, benchmarks are important or extremely important. Additionally, 22 percent said that an organization’s performance against benchmarks is the most influential factor for determining which improvement initiatives to launch, after regulatory/reporting requirements (25 percent) and improvement team priorities (24 percent).
-
And the most important is that we can use these data driven benchmarks to improve !!
-
-
Yes it certainly is . We can contain health care costs in this manner !
-
-
Do ASCs need to coordinate care with hospitals that a patient might be receiving treatment from, and will the UNHIN help in making that easier? The UNHIN would provide the patient a health wallet which consolidates all of the patient’s health information and allows them to authorize both the ASC and their hospital to review and manage their relevant health information.
-
It’s good to have a collaboration with the other agency . Continuious quality care !

Prevent medical errors

Unfortunately, ASCs have no requirement of reporting to any caregiver of the patient about the procedure they received. That is exactly the problem in today’s healthcare environment. UNHIN will give the ability for all caregivers of the patient to see and have access to the full patient’s medical record. Surgery centers are not hospitals, they don’t have ICUs, NICU’s or PICU’s in case of an emergency thus need to be extra careful. Having access to the full patient’s medical record will avoid errors, emergencies and wrong treatment.
