Driving Better Patient Experiences Through Workflow Technology

Asvalue-based careprograms evolve, Episodes of Care (EOC) payments are shifting from retrospective to prospective payments. Hear Unified Women’s Healthcare Chief Medical Executive Officer Jack Feltz, MD, Florida Blue Director of Value Based Specialty Programs Jennifer McGrath, and BCollaborative CEO Lili Brillstein explain how to scale these programs with maximum success and minimum maintenance.

With the surge in EMR usage, keyboards and PCs are used widely in clinical care settings. But unlike medical equipment and high-touch environmental surfaces, these IT devices are rarely subject to infection prevention standards. Studies have demonstrated that over 80% of these devices might have significant microbial contamination which may include nosocomial pathogens like vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus species (VRE). Coupled with low (40%) compliance with the CDC's guidelines on hand hygiene, these ubiquitous computers and keyboards can lead to cross-contamination of patients.

Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) is becoming a leading approach to improving patient and health system outcomes around the world. It links dollars spent to outcomes that matter to patients, rather than to the volume of services or to specific services processes or products that may or may not achieve those outcomes.

Do you need reliable pharmacokinetic data (PK) to evaluate human immunoglobulin or albumin-based therapeutic drug candidates? The humanized FcRn (Hu-FcRn) mouse model enables you to obtain clinically-relevant PK data related to drug half-life. This critically important PK data helps optimize the design of preclinical efficacy studies and to de-risk lead selection.
