Look, I'm probably never going to do a #TEDTalk (collective sigh of relief). But this is the closest I might come... My patient presentation at the Better Together for Digital Healthcare Conference in Dublin's Convention Centre. 👀➡️ https://lnkd.in/e3kbiq9Z I am a reluctant public speaker but I feel compelled to raise the #patientvoice because: 👩💻Patients are becoming more digitally empowered and looking for a more seamless healthcare experience 💪We need to adopt digital strategies that will strengthen the patient partnership 🤝The process should not control the patient - the patient is part of the process 😱 Patient fears and concerns need to be raised, recognized and addressed 🌉 Support from patients should be sought and reinforced 👍We need to collaborate or we will fail eHealth Ireland Health Service Executive #patientvoice #digitalhealthcare #patientadvocacy

Safer, reliable and high-quality care require all health systems to embrace connected healthcare operations. But how an organization gets there isn’t a one-size fits-all approach. Working side-by-side with USA Health, we’ll support them in establishing the particular strategies to meet their unique needs to reduce care variability, promote transparency and accountability and provide their community with the highest level of care possible. This is how we make healthcare safer, together. 

Most countries have been slow to adopt new healthcare trends and digital health, but as Kathleen Aller explains, there will eventually be a tipping point where technology and interoperability is embraced for the benefits to all!

The Canadian Medical Association Journal published a study this month (March 2024), looking at the high rates of physician incivility in the healthcare workplace. More than 75% of health care employees have witnessed uncivil behaviour from physicians,2 and 31% of physicians report receiving weekly or daily rude, dismissive or aggressive communication from other doctors. "Incivility" is a catch all term that could describe actions like: - Interrupting or talking over someone - Sarcastic or demeaning remarks - Ignoring or excluding others - Using dismissive body language - Being rude or abrupt in person or online - many others The study goes on to talk about how toxic workplaces contribute to the problem and the effect that it has on patient care. What it doesn't talk about is how important it is to REPORT that behavior and the barriers to why that does not happen. Whether your a patient or a provider, reporting physician incivility comes at a cost. A lot of those times that cost isn't worth it. What if there was a way to report, but in a safer and anonymous way? Safespace Networks Ontario is providing that opportunity through the Indigenous Primary Health Care Council.

Healthcare has been one of the slowest industries to make the shift to a self-service digital economy despite the undoubted public benefit of enhancing access and reducing costs. This isn’t just due to the hands-on nature of care and the complexities of healthcare data. It’s also an artifact of arcane financing mechanisms that pit the interests of providers, patients, and payers against one another. Hence the efforts of the US government to employ its regulatory levers to create a tipping point for #digitalhealth. In my most recent HLTH blog post, I explore why the recent CMS #Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule has the potential to be that tipping point, at least in the #healthplan space.
