The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) published an insightful paper on 'Integrating Care in Health Systems' showing the role of technology in transforming care pathways and achieving the Triple Aim, which encompasses 📌 improving population health, 📌 enhancing patients’ experiences of care, and 📌 reducing costs per capita. The World Health Organization defines integrated care as: “An approach to strengthen people-centred health systems through the promotion of the comprehensive delivery of quality services across the life-course, designed according to the multidimensional needs of the population and the individual and delivered by a coordinated multidisciplinary team of providers working across settings and levels of care. Care should be effectively managed to ensure optimal outcomes and the appropriate use of resources based on the best available evidence, with feedback loops to continuously improve performance and to tackle upstream causes of ill health and to promote well-being through intersectoral and multisectoral actions.” Curious to learn more? 👇

Bertalan Meskó, MD, PhD recently posted his great infographics "The Timeline of Digital Health: Every Milestone In Making Patients The Point of Care". In it there is an entry for May 2004: First major paper on e-patients [The first generation of e-patients, BMJ]. As one of the 2 authors, the 2nd being Tom Ferguson, MD, I wanted to repost some of that BMJ entry, 20 years later! Whatever we proposed then remains true today, including "much of the fundamental research in this emerging field remains to be done". "The first generation of e-patients: These new medical colleagues could provide sustainable healthcare solutions" [...] Much of the fundamental research in this emerging field remains to be done — for example, a census of online support groups, studies of the patient centred email networks that arise when a loved one is ill, and evaluations of the benefits that online patient helpers can provide. We need more pilot studies: pilots in which patients are taught to provide their own medical care with the best support information technology can provide, pilots in which professionals and patients explore new ways to work together to care for other patients, and pilots in which teams of professionals and patients look for, evaluate, develop, or apply other new models of e-patient innovation. Fifthly, we suspect that the emerging world of the e-patient cannot be fully understood and appreciated in the context of pre-internet medical constructs. The medical world view of the 20th century did not recognise the legitimacy of lay medical competence and autonomy. Its metrics, research methods, and cultural vocabulary are poorly suited to studying this emerging field. Something akin to a major system upgrade in our thinking is needed, a new cultural operating system for health care in which e-patients can be recognised as a valuable new type of renewable resource — managing much of their own care, providing care for others, helping professionals improve the quality of their services, and participating in collaborations between patients and professionals. Given the recognition and support they deserve these new medical colleagues may help us find sustainable solutions to the seemingly intractable problems that now plague all modern systems.

📰📣🌍 Developments in artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly advancing in the field of healthcare. However, the implementation of AI-based solutions into clinical practice requires a large volume of real-world data. The pAItient project in Germany aims to address this challenge by creating a data pool from donated patient care data. In order for this to be successful, it is important to understand the perspectives of physicians on data donation for AI-based solutions. Through interviews with 8 physicians, it was found that all participants were willing to donate deidentified data from daily patient care for research purposes, as long as the benefits for patient care were clear and the data use was transparent. However, concerns were raised regarding workflow integration, appropriate deidentification, and the involvement of third-party entities with economic interests. It was also noted that data donation for psychosomatic treatment needs was viewed critically. In summary, the interviewed physicians expressed support for using real-world care data to develop AI-based solutions, as long as the focus remains on improving patient care rather than financial interests. #AI #healthcare #datasharing #patientcare #Germany" Title: 141617 - Exploring Physician Perspectives On Using Real-World Care Data For The Development Of Artificial Intelligence–Based Technologies In Health Care: Qualitative Study (2024-02-15) Authors: M.

Exploring Reverse Innovation: A Game Changer for Cost-Efficient Healthcare In the realm of healthcare, the quest for innovation often leads us toward complex, high-cost solutions. However, what if the key to transformation lies not ahead of us, but behind? In the thought-provoking article, "Reversing the Innovation Pathway Could Be the Key to Cost-Efficient Health Care," Jim Banks challenges conventional wisdom by advocating for reverse innovation. Reverse innovation refers to the practice of developing solutions in low-resource settings and then adapting them for use in more developed economies. This approach not only promises to reduce costs but also enhances accessibility and simplicity in healthcare solutions. Jim Banks highlights several compelling case studies where reverse innovation has led to significant improvements in healthcare outcomes while dramatically cutting costs. From portable, low-cost diagnostic devices originating in developing countries to simplified treatment procedures that have been refined and readopted in the West, the potential for reverse innovation is vast and largely untapped. As we continue to navigate the complexities of healthcare, integrating reverse innovation into our strategy could lead to more sustainable, efficient, and equitable health services worldwide.

🌟 MIKROGEN Emerging Leaders Program Module 4 Reflections 🌟 One of the key topics we explored in Module 4 of the MIKROGEN Emerging Leaders Program was the impact of biases on our decision-making and leadership practices. Among these biases, survivor bias stands out due to its pervasive influence and often subtle manifestation. The next priority we covered was the basics of influence: 1) Reciprocity: People feel obliged to return favors or kindnesses. By offering something first, leaders can create a sense of obligation in others. 2) Commitment and Consistency: Once people commit to something, they are more likely to follow through. Leaders can harness this by encouraging small, initial commitments that lead to larger actions. 3) Social Proof: People tend to follow the actions of others. Demonstrating that a behavior or decision is popular or endorsed by others can be a powerful influence tool. 4) Authority: People are more likely to be influenced by those they perceive as experts or authoritative figures. Establishing credibility is crucial for effective leadership. 5) Liking: We are more easily influenced by people we like. Building rapport and finding common ground can enhance a leader’s influence. Scarcity: Perceived scarcity increases value. Highlighting the unique benefits or limited availability of an opportunity can drive people to act. These principles offer a structured approach to understanding and leveraging the factors that sway human behavior and decision-making, vital for any emerging leader. We completed the session with some insights on the art of listening: Listening is a fundamental yet often overlooked leadership skill. Effective listening goes beyond simply hearing words; it involves active engagement with the speaker and understanding the underlying messages. Module 4 of the MIKROGEN Emerging Leaders Program has enriched our understanding of critical biases like survivor bias, provided us with actionable insights from Cialdini’s principles of influence and emphasized the importance of active listening. These learnings are instrumental in shaping effective, empathetic, and insightful leaders who can navigate complexities with a well-rounded perspective. #EmergingLeaderProgram #Mikrogen #LeadershipDevelopment #EmergingLeaders #AuthenticLeadership #ActiveListening #Biases #Influence
