July 23, 2021: Our quality measure strategy in the US is NOT working. We need to shift from a process-oriented focus to focusing on eliminating low value care and easing clinical data entry burden. Dale Sanders, Chief Strategy Officer at IMO brings his military, technology strategist and data expertise to the subject. A recent IMO and HIMSS survey reported issues with inconsistent data due to subjective documentation from providers. Despite these issues, organizations are using patient data for quality measurement and reporting (81%), revenue cycle management (60%), and clinical decision support (55%). Is there no silver bullet for improving the quality of data? Will we continue to struggle applying AI until we get a higher quality? There was a lot of confusion around data during the pandemic. What would a much better scenario look like for US healthcare if we see another global pandemic in our lifetime?Key Points:Why is hiring someone from the military such a good idea for employers? [00:09:59] Most patients have an inherent trust in their physician [00:16:40] Orders and results have to be harmonized to national standards [00:37:25] For the terrible tragedy that was COVID, I think it's going to have a big, positive impact on society [00:46:55] The separation between public health and population health that we see in the US does not exist in other countries [00:49:10] IMO

Today we are diving deep into another of our values: Positivity.  This core value is across the MedMan staff and is a criterion for being hired in the organization. Positivity isn’t being a ball of sunshine 24/7; it means always taking into account an optimistic approach to outcomes. Molly explains how she knows about someone’s positivity through the hiring experience. They also chat about how some feelings may be overwhelming sometimes and need moderation.  For the full transcript, show notes, and resources to help you level up your practice, visit us at medman.com. 

Can you imagine wearing a sensor after surgery and then having an accurate data analysis from your doctor? This is one of the topics we chat about with Dr. Fabrizio Billi. We also have Nick Gillian from Google’s Division of Advanced Technology and Products. Wearable sensors can provide data to understand a patient’s recovery better. But, will we get to the point in which the algorithm will predict the outcome? The future is the only one that holds that answer!  In the meanwhile, you can listen to Dr. Billi and Nick Gillian to know more about this new technology.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 092 Enabling Rare Disease Treatments with Sanath Kumar Ramesh - Founder & CEO of OpenTreatments Sanath Kumar Ramesh’s son is one of only nine kids worldwide with an ultra-rare genetic disease called Sedaghatian Type Spondylometaphyseal Dysplasia (SSMD). He has a podcast called Raising Rare where he and his wife talk about their journey, finding a treatment for their son and they feature stories of others in the rare disease community. Sanath is joining me on this episode to talk about his new software platform called OpenTreatments, a nonprofit organization with a mission to enable treatments for all genetic diseases. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Can you tell us about yourself and your family? I have a 2 1/2 year old boy named Raghav who was born with challenges and he continued to miss milestones through his first year of life. On his first birthday, we learned he has an ultra-rare condition caused by a mutation in the gene GPX4. When Raghav was diagnosed with SSMD, we thought he was the only patient, but we've since found 8 other patients worldwide.  Can you tell us about OpenTreatments? My idea is to collaborate the knowledge and experience of biotech companies and academic researchers to help patient foundations build and run their gene therapies. We are starting with a pilot program of four diseases to understand how well the software program is working and identify any challenges the programs are experiencing. Our mission is to enable treatments for all genetic diseases regardless of rarity or geography. How can parents or patient groups work with OpenTreatments? There's a lot of risk in the drug development process and the amount of risk we take on is not like any investment any one of us has ever done in our lives. Even wealthy venture capitalists don't invest in drug developments because there's a high risk of losing money. For parents who have just received a diagnosis, they're struggling to understand what life has in store for them and embarking on drug development isn't well aligned. We focus mainly on patient groups who have a foundation started, have raised money and have a scientific advisory board.  Do you think biotech and pharma companies will eventually take interest in rare disease treatment missions? It's a challenging problem and I think the bottom line is risk. Pharma isn't interested in rare diseases with such a limited number of patients, like my son's disease, because the risk to treat a patient where a potentially adverse reaction can happen is a risky unknown. The decision becomes whether or not the risk is worth the benefit and what the benefit is when treating such a small number of patients. When there is a larger group of patients, there's also a bigger commercial upside and it's likely worth the risk to explore treatments. Several ideas have been proposed for getting ultra-rare diseases an alternate path to drug therapy, including getting more regulatory support or building collective treatment for ultra-rare diseases. Insurance providers could also potentially pay for the research and development of drug therapies because their spend burden is high over the lifetime of a patient. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that we need more people in drug development so ideas can be tried and tested.

Being a doctor can be very gratifying when a life is saved or a patient is cured. However, the number of jobs and skills physicians need to master is increasing with the advancement of technology and science. This makes the medical environment increasingly stressful, also because at the moment, many IT solutions are burdensome and add the bureaucratic workload to the schedules of doctors. Today’s topic is how to doctors approach and manage medication prescribing. I spoke with David W. Bates, Patient Safety Expert and Harvard MD, who is an internationally renowned expert in patient safety, using information technology to improve care, quality-of-care, cost-effectiveness, and outcomes assessment in medical practice. He is a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a Professor of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health, where he co-directs the Program in Clinical Effectiveness. He directs the Center for Patient Safety Research and Practice at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and serves as external program lead for research in the World Health Organization’s Global Alliance for Patient Safety. He has published over 700 peer-reviewed papers.  We discussed:  How is patient care changing and impacting medication management, Why doctors ignore alerts of decision support systems, What are healthcare IT systems missing in the UX design,  What do doctors hope to see from IT in the near future, And how should organisations approach patient safety culture improvements?
