Are you ready for Health IT 2.0? With 84% of healthcare executives questioning the type, quantity and usability of their healthcare data; it's no wonder 50% are dissatisfied with their Electronic Health Records (EHR) and looking to make a change. Unfortunately, the HIT implementations of the last decade left many with little to show for the money and effort expended. As the market transitions to value-based care, successful transformation will be dependent on the ability to trust data and apply information at the point of care. The promise of analytics, predictive algorithms and personalized medicine is dependent on quality data that is "fit for purpose" and provided to the right person, in the right place, at the right time to make better decisions. Given the increasing complexity and nuance of using Health IT to fix a broken and fragmented system; it's difficult to imagine that the EMR implementation and optimization strategies of the past are up to the task. Our approach is different. We take a 360-degree view of the people, processes, and technologies that drive your success or failure. Our team brings a rare combination of clinical, operational, and transformational skills to the Health IT 2.0 issues of today. The solutions we design address the full context of the situation, covering immediate needs, while laying the foundation to address long-term requirements. Our proven process delivers elegant solutions the first time, eliminating the need for "optimization" and ongoing consulting fees. We are not your typical HIT Consulting group.

?? We must start managing knowledge as a first-class citizen within our information architectures. ?? In an era where data is the lifeblood of innovation, building modular, distributed, composable, and sustainable socio-technological architectures is essential. Managing data alone is not enough; we must also manage the domain-specific knowledge required to interpret, use, and integrate it effectively to support business strategy objectives. ?? This paradigm shift, which integrates advanced knowledge frameworks into data management practices, is the main topic of the talk that Jacopo Aliprandi and I will be giving at the upcoming Big Data LDN Here are some spoilers: 1?? To fully unlock the potential of data products, we need to link them to a knowledge model, making them not only interoperable (for efficiency) but also composable (for efficacy). Distributed approaches to data management, like data mesh, work only if one plus one is greater than two. 2?? To fully unlock the potential of GenAI (i.e., Statistical AI), we need to complement it with human-refined knowledge models (Symbolic AI). GenAI and knowledge models complement each other perfectly. While one is fast but error-prone, the other is slow but reliable. That's exactly the way our brain works as explained in the great book Thinking, Fast and Slow 3?? Last but probably the most important one, treating knowledge as a first-class citizen is not a technical challenge, it's a sociotechnical challenge. Only people can translate their mental models into shared knowledge models. Technology can help, but people and processes come first. ?? Hope to see you there! #TheDataJoy #dataproducts #knowledgegraphs #genAI

?? This is cause for celebration ?? ?? #OpenEHR's collaboration with the Joint Initiative Council will bring us closer to the data quality needed to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. While claims data is fit for purpose for some analytics, our ability to achieve the promise of personalized medicine depends on claims data combined with the sensitivity and specificity of electronic health record data (#EHR) such as that collected in Electronic Medical Records (#EMRs) or through direct reports of information obtained from patients, such as the data used for patient-reported outcomes measures (#PROMs). You may be surprised to learn that despite the?vast amount?of data generated in healthcare, the quality of healthcare data makes it unusable for the sophisticated analyses needed to improve patient outcomes or reduce costs. In healthcare, data is meaningless without context. Our inability to effectively leverage healthcare data for improvement is due to its lack of context. #OpenEHR is a framework clinical informaticists use to restore the context of healthcare data, increasing its usability and value. OpenEHR arms clinical informaticists (with unique skills in #informationscience/ #knowledgearchitecture/and #conceptual and #logical data modeling) with tools to curate and recreate the context lost when data is stored in traditional/relational databases. Historically, relational databases prioritized low storage costs and speed through data normalization and compact structures, often dividing healthcare data across multiple tables. This fragmentation leads to the loss of clinical context, as data points like lab results or diagnoses are stored separately without preserving their relationships or temporal sequence. As a result, the complete picture of a patient's condition and care history can be obstructed, making it harder to interpret data accurately, particularly in complex healthcare scenarios. This loss of context undermines the ability to retrieve meaningful, semantically rich information, which is crucial for clinical decision-making and continuity of care. This separation of data from context has created an unsustainable level of cognitive burden for clinicians trying to do what's best for their patients. And #AI can only go so far in remediating this. The other benefit of restoring context to data is that it allows the separation of the data and application layer, making the data more flexible, reusable, and amenable to real-time storage and reuse, the holy grail of clinical quality improvement.
NEWSFLASH: openEHR has joined the Joint Initiative Council for Global Health Informatics Standardisation. https://lnkd.in/dvDWsGn This collaboration marks a significant milestone for openEHR in advancing interoperable healthcare systems worldwide. openEHR's expertise and community will further bolster the Council's mission to enable seamless information exchange across health domains. As part of the JIC, we aim to enhance the delivery of safe, coordinated care. The partnership also reinforces our commitment to promoting interoperability and avoiding redundancies in health informatics standards, whilst pushing innovation and flexibility in the field. We’re proud that our involvement will contribute to developing a coherent set of global health informatics standards. CEO Rachel Dunscombe expressed her enthusiasm for the JIC’s decision: "We are delighted to join other standards bodies in making interoperable systems for healthcare to improve lives and save lives. The openEHR representatives would like to thank the JIC for the warm welcome and the opportunity to collaborate for the greater good." #HealthcareInnovation #Interoperability #openEHR Health Level Seven International Dicom Systems, Inc.

I was recently introduced to the Staff Solution Architect role. I googled to find out more but couldn't find much. It's not a typical job description or posting. Here's what I found after some prompt reengineering. Why doesn't every organization have this role? Healthcare needs this combination of business and clinical expertise in specific situations, combined with technical skill, to achieve ROI, not just in a sales role; we need it inside care delivery organizations as well. The fourth (precisely understanding requirements) and last bullet points (the outcome of understanding requirements) are pragmatic additions to what I typically see in organizations and are the most common gaps in 85% of the organizations I work with.

HAPPY FriYAY! ?? Wish me luck! ?? I am grateful and humbled to be one of the 1,431 applicants who have the opportunity to interview for a 6-month contract position as a Senior Product Manager with the?Stanford University School of Medicine (translational informatics)! The role involves building a Pain Platform aimed at facilitating faster research on real-world individuals dealing with chronic pain. The platform will also play a crucial role in translating research findings into effective therapies and helping clinicians and their patients better understand, monitor, and treat pain conditions. This opportunity is a dream come true! ? The initial focus will be on developing a platform for clinicians, which will streamline the collection and comprehension of patient data. This is a critical step in the development and management of chronic pain treatment. (You all know I ?? removing the friction associated with COLLECTING and UNDERSTANDING PATIENT DATA!) ? I'd learn a lot about another wicked problem I'm passionate about - collecting symptom data from patients to decrease missed and delayed diagnoses! ? I'd also get to exercise my #humancentereddesign chops ?? ? In this role, the Senior PM will work closely with Stanford researchers, engineers, and clinicians to shape and define this clinician-facing service. The objective is to have a well-defined set of features and interface design that resonates with the market and has been tested with numerous pain clinicians within 6 months. Additionally, there should be an initial v1 implementation and a roadmap for future iterations. I'm doubly excited because not only do I get to interview for this fantastic opportunity, which is a great fit for me, but I am doing it through a TalentlyAI screening interview! I will have first-hand, real-world experience of how organizations are using AI to reduce bias, streamline, standardize, and automate an arduous and extremely subjective task. I bet they also used #AI to prioritize the candidates they’d like to interview! ?? #DiagnosticExcellence #TranslationalInformatics #AmIDreaming? #PinchMe
