Advantages of Personal Connected Health

Consumers are not just linking health data to the Providers any longer

•Potential to transform human health and healthcare delivery, and to reduce global disparities in healthcare access•Adds motivation and inspiration to health self-management by taking advantage of support networks in social media and other online forums •Capable of reducing the impact of chronic disease, which is responsible for the greatest portion of healthcare expenditures•Ability to shift from treatment focus to preventive care by making health self-management a part of everyday life•Allows us to enjoy life longer outside of traditional healthcare

Case Examples

Page 25: E-Health Industry Expectation July 22 nd, 2014 Document No: GSC(14)18_035 Source: CHA Contact: Michael J. Kirwan Agenda Item: 5.3

Denmark’s National Action Plan for Telemedicine

Scope• Secure collection, transmission, storage of personal health data from

patients’ homes to healthcare providers across the country• Sharing of medical documents & images• Management of health records, medical appointments, etc.

Objectives• Ensure end-to-end, plug-and-play connectivity of personal health

devices; establish interoperability standards • Ensure personal health devices & services easy to deploy, secure &

convenient for patients & providers• Reduce acute care stays• Enable elderly to live home independently• Develop chronic disease management programs• Expand use of telemedicine

Page 26: E-Health Industry Expectation July 22 nd, 2014 Document No: GSC(14)18_035 Source: CHA Contact: Michael J. Kirwan Agenda Item: 5.3

Denmark: Centralized Approach to Standards Adoption

• Mandated national compliance with interoperability standards (Continua)

• Pros: – National healthcare IT conformity supports large-scale

population health and creation of cost, operational efficiencies

– Limited systems integration issues during rollout and subsequent changes in technology

• Cons: limited regional, local influence over standards development; currently fewer choices in devices

Page 27: E-Health Industry Expectation July 22 nd, 2014 Document No: GSC(14)18_035 Source: CHA Contact: Michael J. Kirwan Agenda Item: 5.3

UK Dept of Health: 3millionlives (3ML) Campaign

• Based on evidence from the Whole System Demonstrator Programme (6,000+ person telehealth/telecare study)

Goals• Improve lives of 3ML people with long term conditions, social

care needs • Develop market, remove barriers to delivery (5 yrs)• Create environment to support uptake• Public/private cooperation to simplify procurement and

commissioning processes for telehealth, telecare at scale • Put NHS and UK industry at the forefront of telehealth, telecare

globally• Promote benefits of telehealth and telecare services to patients

Page 28: E-Health Industry Expectation July 22 nd, 2014 Document No: GSC(14)18_035 Source: CHA Contact: Michael J. Kirwan Agenda Item: 5.3

3ML: Regional Approach to Standards Adoption

• All personal health device providers must comply with CEN ISO/IEEE 11073

• Contracting occurs on a local basis• NHS Worcestershire County and East Shires

Purchasing Organization have voluntarily adopted Continua

• Pros: localities maintain maximal control (device selection, cost)

• Cons: healthcare IT infrastructure likely to require significant integration to achieve end-to-end interoperability at a national scale

Page 29: E-Health Industry Expectation July 22 nd, 2014 Document No: GSC(14)18_035 Source: CHA Contact: Michael J. Kirwan Agenda Item: 5.3

Catalonia, Spain: Regional Approach

• Catalonia, Spain– Population covered by universal healthcare with a mix

of public/private providers– Health Ministry funded ICT organization (TicSalut)

coordinates standards, integrates health and social welfare systems

– 100% of hospitals use EHRS; 70% have mobile tools– Device integration primarily based on Hl7 standards

Page 30: E-Health Industry Expectation July 22 nd, 2014 Document No: GSC(14)18_035 Source: CHA Contact: Michael J. Kirwan Agenda Item: 5.3

Opportunities & Challenges for Big Data

Opportunities• Adopt common standards for PHRs to enable data

aggregation, tracking from multiple consumer devices– A starting point for big data, especially in decentralized

markets• Agree upon type, definition and format of personal health data

relayed from consumer devices to a medical records system– Ex: Health Records Network

Challenges• Retail and home devices need common standards to enable

consumer plug and play• Clinical workflow impact complicates standards adoption• End-to-end standards adoption
