Week 1 Value based and Data driven care Flashcards
Value based and Data driven care (9 cards)
What is Value Based Care?
VBHC is a way of organising health care to maximise the outcomes that matter to patients, relative to the end-to-end costs of their care. It does this by taking a long view – considering value not based on a single healthcare encounter, but in terms of the outcomes of a full pathway of care and the resources involved along the way.
VBHC also takes a system view: instead of asking an individual clinician to work harder or do better to improve care, it looks at how all aspects of a health system can enable better value in care delivery.
In a value-based healthcare system:
- Patients have their needs addressed in an integrated way
- Clinicians have the data they need to continuously improve care
- Organisations have incentives that are aligned with value for patients.
Define Patient reported measures
Patient-reported measures (PRMs)
PRMs are surveys that help us to understand what matters most to patients. They also help us to find out if the care we deliver supports the outcomes and experiences that patients expect.
There are two types of PRMs:
- Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs): capture patients’ experiences of their healthcare and services.
- Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs): capture patients’ views on how their illness or care has impacted their overall health and wellbeing.
Define Data-driven care?
Refers to the use of data and analytics to inform clinical decision-making, improve patient outcomes and optimise healthcare operations. However, the concept of using data to inform health-related decisions is not new.
What is Data driven care?
It involves collecting, analysing and interpreting data from a variety of sources to gain insights into patient populations, treatment efficacy and healthcare utilisation patterns. Data analysis techniques may include descriptive statistics, predictive modelling, machine learning and natural language processing.
Healthcare providers leverage data-driven insights to improve the accuracy and speed of diagnoses, tailor treatment plans to individual patients, identify high-risk patients who may benefit from preventive interventions, and reduce healthcare costs by minimising unnecessary treatments and procedures.
There are several examples of data sources that may be used in data-driven care, including electronic health records (EHRs), clinical registries, claims data, patient-generated data (such as wearable devices) and public health data (such as disease surveillance systems).
My Health Record, for example, is a system that streamlines patient information into one central location. This makes it readily accessible for health practitioners, improving patient care.
What is Predictive analytics for hospital readmissions?
Hospitals can use machine learning algorithms to analyse data from patient records and predict which patients are at a high risk of being readmitted. This allows healthcare providers to intervene and provide targeted care to prevent readmissions.
What is Remote patient monitoring?
Wearable devices and mobile health apps can collect data on patients’ vital signs, medication adherence and other health metrics. Healthcare providers can then use this data to monitor patients remotely and provide timely interventions when needed.
What is Population health management?
Health systems can analyse data from a large group of patients to identify health trends, risk factors and gaps in care. This information can then be used to develop targeted interventions and preventative care strategies.
What is Precision medicine?
Genetic and molecular data can be used to develop personalised treatment plans based on a patient’s unique genetic makeup. This approach can improve treatment outcomes and reduce the risk of adverse events.
What is Patient-reported outcomes?
Patients can use mobile apps or online surveys to report on their symptoms, quality of life and other health metrics. This data can be used to track patient progress and identify areas where additional support or interventions are needed.
