Prev Med 2 Flashcards
who is a clinical informatician?
Enhances individual and population health outcomes, improves patient care, and strengthens the clinical-patient relationship; design, implement, and eval info and communication systems
2 main pathways to become a clinical informaticist: noncertified vs certified
Practice track w/out formal education
Practice track w/ formal education (Masters degrees/PhDs)
vs
practice track: work exp –> cert (subspecialty board exam)
standard track: 2y fellowship –> cert (subspecialty board exam)
HIPAA vs PPACA
protects health ins to personnel & fam when they lose/change jobs vs inc affordability, access, avail of health ins
stage 1 vs 2 vs 3 HITECH
2011: capture & share data, incentive funds vs 2014: integrate data into HIT & EHR vs 2016: hosp showed HIT improved pt outcomes; penalties for not adopting health info systems & EHR
factors shaping healthcare delivery: econ vs consumer vs payment vs demographics vs EBM vs govt vs edu
income inequal, ins, inc cost of care vs pts find their own info or have own access; from txing illness to preventing illness vs self-ins, concierge med, indep to integrated systems vs aging, from acute to chronic care vs integrating best approach into pt care vs HIPAA, ACA, HITECH, MACRA vs drop in primary care, some residency specialty shortage
2001: Institute of Medicine has what 6 core values?
pt safety, equity, timeliness, pt centered care, effic, EBM/effectiveness
triple vs quadruple aim
improve pop health –> reduce prevalent costly chronic dz, experience of care –> motivate & engage pts in health, reduce per capital cost –> dec resrc util & readmissions vs + provider satisfaction –> address provider burnout and access to tools
clinical decision support
provides clinicians, staff, patients with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered, to enhance pt care
5 rights of clinical decision support
right info
right ppl
right channel
right format
right time
optimize info flow to docs
protected health info
all individually identifiable health information held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate
best practices for your health data security
encrypt, use spam filters, update security, scan for threats, implement Data Loss Prevention
w/ health info systems, you might have a single EHR or niche products: PACS vs LIS vs DMS vs practice management suite vs pt portal
stored DICOM imgs vs where labs = process & stored –> results to go to EHR vs where scanned docs = located vs billing, scheduling vs pt access their health info
healthcare disparities vs social determinants of healh
diff access/avail of health services & dz occurrence based on SES vs conditions in places ppl live/work/interact that affect wide range of health risks & outcomes
lean & six sigma
standardized process breaking down workflow into individual pieces –> understand impacting factors such as error, efficiency, cost, and waste
lean vs six sigma
minimize waste errors & delays –> effic. transport, unnecessary inventory & motion, waiting, overprocessing, overprod, defects vs process improvement and variation reduction –> quality and consistency. Define, measure, analyze, improve, control
