Healthcare (Reality)

10

• Life-or-Death

• Difficult to automate human decisions

– Nature of business

– Many & varied stakeholders

– Evolving standards of care

• Fragmented, poorly-coordinated systems

• Large, ever-growing & changing body of knowledge

• High volume, low resources, little time

Why Healthcare Isn’t (Yet) “Smart”?

11

But...Are We That Different?

Digitizing Healthcare

17

“To computerize the hospital”

“To go paperless”

“To become a Digital Hospital”

“To Have EHRs”

Why Adopting Health IT?

18

• “Don’t implement technology just for technology’s sake.”

• “Don’t make use of excellent technology. Make excellent use of technology.”(Tangwongsan, Supachai. Personal communication, 2005.)

• “Health care IT is not a panacea for all that ails medicine.” (Hersh, 2004)

Some “Smart” Quotes

19

Being Smart #1:

Stop Your

“Drooling Reflex”!!

20

Being Smart #2:

Focus on Information &

Process Improvement,

Not Technology

21

If not “Digital Hospital” or “Paperless Hospital”

Then What Should We Aspire to Be?

“Smart Hospital”

23

So How is a “Smart Hospital”

Different from a Digital orPaperless Hospital?

(IOM, 2001)(IOM, 2000) (IOM, 2011)

Landmark Institute of Medicine Reports

59

• To Err is Human (IOM, 2000) reported

that:

– 44,000 to 98,000 people die in U.S.

hospitals each year as a result of

preventable medical mistakes

– Mistakes cost U.S. hospitals $17 billion to

$29 billion yearly

– Individual errors are not the main problem

– Faulty systems, processes, and other

conditions lead to preventable errors

Patient Safety

60

Summary of These Reports

• Humans are not perfect and are bound to make errors

• Highlight problems in U.S. health care system that systematically contributes to medical errors and poor quality

• Recommends reform

• Health IT plays a role in improving patient safety

What If This Happens in Healthcare?

65Klein JG. Five pitfalls in decisions about diagnosis and prescribing. BMJ. 2005 Apr 2;330(7494):781-3.

“Everyone makes mistakes. But our reliance on cognitive processes prone to bias makes

treatment errors more likely than we think”

Cognitive Biases in Healthcare

66

• Medication Errors

– Drug Allergies

– Drug Interactions

• Ineffective or inappropriate treatment

• Redundant orders

• Failure to follow clinical practice guidelines

Why We Need ICT

in Healthcare?

#1: Because information is

everywhere in healthcare

71

Why We Need ICT in Healthcare?

#2: Because healthcare is error-prone and technology

73

Why We Need ICT

in Healthcare?

#3: Because access to

high-quality patient information

should improve care

74

Why We Need ICT in Healthcare?

#4: Because healthcare at all levels is fragmented &

in need of process improvement

75

Documented Values of Health IT

• Guideline adherence

• Better documentation

• Practitioner decision making or process of care

• Medication safety

• Patient surveillance & monitoring

• Patient education/reminder

76

Being Smart #4:

Link IT Values to

Quality (Including Safety)

Myths & Truths on Standards

89

Myths

• We don’t need standards

• Standards are IT people’s jobs

• We should exclude vendors from this

• We need the same software to share data

• We need to always adopt international standards

• We need to always use local standards

“The Sailors”

111

A 900-Bed University Hospital• Average age of personnel at 42

years (range 20-65)• IT department consists of new,

young members and senior members who developed the first version of its systems

• Doctors are highly individualistic, most also practice in private hospitals, high turn-over rate

• Nurses and other professions often view doctors as hospital’s “elites” and often have heated debates with them

A 200-Bed Private Hospital

• Average age of personnel at 32 years (range 20-57)

• Strong IT department• Doctors typically don’t interact

with other staff, income is the main motivator

• Executives are highly respected by all professions as visionary and high-performing
