Aggregating the Patient Perspective and Incorporating It Into Software to Change Healthcare – #HITsm Chat Topic

We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 10/27 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by CP Nerve Center (@Cpnervecenter), Lisa Davis Budzinski (@lisadbudzinski), and Becky Brandt, RN (@bbhomebody) on the topic of “Aggregating the Patient Perspective and Incorporating It Into Software to Change Healthcare.”

“Fragmented Care” is costly and common

The term “feed forward” refers to designing an information system to collect patient data in real time as care is delivered. Data collection occurs from the first visit, and moves with the patient.

*If we cannot understand patients within our systems of care, how are we going to improve? Perhaps these problems can be overcome by designing data-rich, patient-centric, feed-forward information environments with real-time feedback using a novel approach that is described below.

*The objective is to turn an individual’s data into useful information that can guide intelligent action and to aggregate this patient-level information to show quantifiable results within the clinical microsystem, the healthcare macrosystem, and the community.

Join us as we dive into this topic during this week’s #HITsm chat using the following questions.
