Healthcare IT Regulations – What Needs to Be Added and What Needs to Be Removed

Judge for yourself the management of this patient with " NSTEMI, multivessel disease "
DISCUSSION:The administration of
opioid analgesia prior to cath in patients with concern for ACS is associated
with longer door-to-balloon times, and greater peak troponin levels. The rate
of Occlusion MI in those who received pre-cath opioids was double the rate of
those without pre-cath opioids, and STEMI(-) OMI patients who received pre-cath
opioids waited 10 hours on average longer to get cath than those who did not
received opioids. These results add support to our hypothesis that a major
mechanism of harm caused by opioid medications in ACS patients involves delays
to the cath lab for patients with STEMI(-) OMI.=====...

Provider-Led Value-Based Care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
In this video, two experts at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) in Tennessee describe how they implemented value-based care from the provider’s point of view. They distinguish provider-led from payer-led bundles, reveal how VUMC had to evolve, and describe which medical conditions are most appropriate for value-based care.
Value-based care is not new. Kaiser Permanente, a well-known employer-based provider, started in 1945. Even earlier, in 1937, the member-owned Group Health Association (GHA) formed in Washington, D.C.
But in the current wave of taking on risk, payers dominated. According to C.J. Stimson, ...
