We continue to promote the Strategic Lines of DIHsP4_Medicine project with SL3! Find out more ⬇⬇ ⬇ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝟑 reflect the critical importance of digital trust in the healthcare sector. By focusing on the secure and reliable management of technologies and data, this strategy is essential for the effective incorporation and use of new healthcare solutions. Engaging healthcare professionals in networking to build trust is a key component, as is fostering collaborative, patient-centered innovation through co-creation testing and living labs led by European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs). 📣 These initiatives not only promote the adoption of modern practices but also ensure that innovations remain clinically relevant. EDIHs play a pivotal role as central points for advancing healthcare, facilitating collaboration, knowledge sharing, and data exchange in a secure environment. This approach is important for the future of personalized medicine, ensuring that new technologies can be integrated into healthcare systems effectively and safely.

Deadline extended! Health care is being transformed today. Fundamental to its improvement is the need for health information to be shared. Health information interoperability is key to the success of this important work. In the Health Terminology and Interoperability Standards (HTIS) Certificate Program offered by the University of Victoria’s School of Health Information Science, you will learn about the exciting field of standards and interoperability, critical topics for making healthcare more modern and efficient. In this program, you will learn how data is represented, exchanged, standardized, and applied to improve our healthcare systems. You will also learn about the details, challenges, implementations, and acceptance of modern data-driven health information exchange. The application deadline has been extended until July 15, 2024 for September 2024 entry.

it's done

Health Technology Assessment is a valuable tool for chronic patients, including those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), as it ensures that decisions about healthcare interventions are based on thorough evaluations of their effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness. For IBD patients, HTA provides a structured way to assess not only the clinical benefits of new treatments but also their impact on patients' quality of life, considering factors such as long-term side effects, ease of use, and the potential for personalized medicine. By involving patients directly in the HTA process, their lived experiences and priorities become central to the decision-making process, making healthcare more patient-centered. This is particularly important for chronic diseases like IBD, where treatments need to be effective over the long term and should align with individual patients’ needs. HTA empowers patients by allowing them to influence the development and approval of therapies that are relevant to their daily lives, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and a more efficient use of healthcare resources. In a broader sense, HTA for chronic conditions emphasizes the importance of sustainable healthcare solutions, balancing innovation with accessibility, and ensuring that the best possible care reaches those who need it the most.

🚨 I'm attending #ASTP2024 and hearing firsthand from people from federal agencies like the CDC, HHS, NIH, CMS, VA, and others about the latest updates on TEFCA (Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement). 👏 TEFCA is crucial for the future of healthcare, enabling seamless and secure data exchange between different systems. For those unaware that this is happening (it went “live” in December 2023), it is a BIG deal! 💡 What does it mean for: ✅ Patients: Improved care coordination and access to their health information. ✅ Providers: Streamlined workflows and reduced administrative burden with other TEFCA participating institutions. ✅ Private Sector and other Innovators: New opportunities for developing data-driven solutions that enhance patient outcomes. Public Health Systems can also be early adopters and innovators! 🧐 I'm eager to learn more about how TEFCA will impact the healthcare landscape and how the private sector and public health entities can partner and leverage these advancements to improve patient care and drive innovation. 🚨 Don’t worry, we are also talking about opportunities for AI at this meeting too! (FYI, ASTP=Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology) 😜 #TEFCA #Healthcare #DataExchange #Innovation #ASTP2024

We will be posting some highlights from the #ASTP2024 meeting. Have you heard of TEFCA? If you are a healthcare provider, do you know if your healthcare system or organization participates? Is your healthcare system part of a #HIN or #QHIN? #TEFCA #DataExchange #QHIN

How can ICBs shift the digital focus from in-year to long term? 🏥 Join us at The National ICS Innovation Congress at GIANT Health Event #GIANT2024 In the current financial landscape, there is a strong focus on delivering in-year efficiency savings, and prioritising projects that return cash to the system in the short term. However, in an industry where it is known that the biggest outcomes, such as preventing lifestyle diseases, take place over a very long term. Dr Rima Makarem, Chair of Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board will be joined by other local leaders to consider how local systems can realistically embed digital for long term outcomes, and offer tips to those looking to build or offer longer term oriented solutions to local systems. 📅 9 Dec 🕚 10:00 - 10:40 Speakers: 👉Joe Harrison, Chief Executive at Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust 👉Max Jones, Chief digital information officer NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) Register now: 🎟 https://bit.ly/3ZEop3D #Digitalhealth #healthcare #healthtech #innovation

Do you want to present at #HSPI2025, but don't have a recent project that's easily presented in a standard presentation or poster? You can also present on the implementation of key concepts or skills. Some of my favorite presentations in the past have been about Lean Management Systems, staff education and recognition programs, and change management. We are still accepting abstracts for Intensives (90-min interactive sessions), Standard Presentations, and Posters through this Friday. Let me know if I can answer any questions about the abstract process! #SHS #HealthcareImprovement #ProcessImprovement #Lean
