Comagine Health’s Post

Each quarter, Comagine Health spotlights data trends affecting communities in our six-state QIN-QIO service area of Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington. For this quarter, we’re highlighting some statistics about the prevalence of chronic kidney disease geographically and across specific populations amongst people with Medicare.

Segment the Product Portfolio, because the market is continuously changing . In the seventies , we were serving the traditional patients ( acute and chronic) , now we serving health conscious , chronic , and terminally ill patients with rare diseases. Health conscious population is seeking better quality of life. What is your proposal for a meaningful segmentation? #consultations #PharmaConsultation

Australia needs a health equity index so we can better understand and address inequities like this. The analysis found members across regional areas face three main challenges in health care: - Delayed screening and preventive health checks exacerbated by COVID-19 - Limited access to treatments and key healthcare providers - Inadequate availability of services and medical equipment #healthequity

The infrequency of rare diseases means that the community often faces challenges related to accessing both diagnosis and treatment. These barriers to care can be associated with remote locations or isolation from resources, which may limit treatment options: - Considerable gaps in access to care have been reported between rural and urban settings, and particularly in countries with limited resources and competing health priorities. - It is not uncommon for people with rare diseases and their caregivers to permanently relocate to access care. We’re continuing to build on our commitment to raise awareness of health inequities in the rare disease community by supporting global and local initiatives that align with Takeda’s ambition to bridge gaps and break down barriers faced by the rare disease community.  Show your support this #RareDiseaseDay, February 29th, by raising awareness of #HealthEquity4Rare. Together we can support the efforts of the community to reduce the burden of health inequities around the world.

UEA's Prof Andrew Wilson finds patients with a chronic lung disease who live further from hospital or in the most deprived areas have a poorer survival rate. "Where you live or your socioeconomic status should not determine how long you live" "This is unacceptable. Change is needed to ensure that everyone has timely access to diagnosis, treatment and care.   "A regional integrated approach with more specialist centres would go some way in reducing some of the factors outlined in this publication." The results suggest that future screening programmes and policies could be mitigate the differences in socioeconomic levels, however more research is needed into this and to see if the ability to access care closer to home improves survival.

According to Rare Disease Day there are around 300 million individuals globally who are living with rare diseases. The #RareDiseaseDay campaign aims to achieve equity in social opportunities, healthcare, and treatment accessibility for individuals living with a rare disease. Throughout February, we at IVI will share information regarding rare diseases and how we are advancing patient-centered health technology assessment to enhance equity for people with rare diseases. #ShowYourStripes #RareDiseaseDay #PatientExperience #Equity #HTA #healthcare #valueassessment #patientcentricity #raredisease #value

Join Healthmap Solutions in recognizing National Healthcare Decision Day. Observed annually on April 16th, it’s a day to encourage people to think about how they want their healthcare to be managed and to make their wishes known. At Healthmap, we understand the importance of Advance Care Planning for patients with chronic conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and we work to ensure that members of our Kidney Population Health Management program understand their options.

🏡 Rural communities face numerous healthcare hurdles including, limited access to specialized care, transportation challenges, and higher rates of chronic diseases. These barriers often result in poorer health outcomes and increased care costs. Tragically, rural residents also have a higher risk of heart disease, cancer, and stroke than urban dwellers. 💡 Discover how RPM is helping to bridge gaps in healthcare access for patients in rural areas in our latest article@ https://hubs.li/Q02yqDRs0 #RuralHealthcare #RemoteMonitoring #RPM #HealthTech #Telehealth

In the U.S., approximately 129 million people are living with one major chronic disease. With chronic diseases becoming more prevalent, healthcare professionals are concerned about the consequences it has on the healthcare system. Many populations living with chronic diseases are unable to receive the appropriate care they need due to #SDOH, such as limited access to care, transportation, and other resources. Ultimately, their health conditions continue to progress, causing them to experience worse health outcomes. MDLand’s latest white paper explores how #RPM and #CCM can be essential in combating the burden of chronic diseases, expanding access to #healthcare, and improving patient outcomes.

National Kidney Awareness Week: Protect Your Health, Protect Your Kidneys Did you know that 10% of the global population is affected by chronic kidney disease? Globally, thousands of people are developing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) each year, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive. At AfroCentric, we believe that effective healthcare management is crucial in improving outcomes for these patients. Through our managed healthcare subsidiary, Medscheme, we are leading the way in transforming renal care. Our renal dialysis network supports thousands of South Africans, providing them with life-saving treatment and ongoing support. Network management plays a critical role in ensuring that patients not only receive the necessary care but also achieve the best possible health outcomes. By leveraging data and fostering collaboration among healthcare providers, we can track health outcomes, improve treatment compliance and ultimately, save lives. #KidneyHealth #EarlyDetection #HealthierTogether #AfroCentricHealth
