In this episode, Dr. Diana Velazquez-Pimentel interviews Dr. Nick de Pennington, former neurosurgeon of the National Health Service (NHS) and founder of Ufonia, an automated telemedicine platform that seeks to expedite delivery of routine, uncomplicated clinic visits. Dr. de Pennington saw the clinical need for this product when he realized that clinicians were spending large amounts of time performing routine clinical activities instead of providing complex care where it is most needed. Automated routine visits for uncomplicated encounters could free up clinicians’ time, provide greater convenience to patients, and reduce the cost of healthcare services. Ufonia’s first product was focused on follow up appointments for cataract surgery, one of the most common, straightforward, and safe procedures in the world. The telemedicine system converses with patients, takes a relevant history, and then recommends the next steps of care for the patient. The system also captures feedback about the patient experience, which helps clinical teams identify areas of satisfaction and improvement.

“How can we make any progress? There are no IS resources again!” I’ve heard that a lot. But not from these guys. Usually, it sounds something like this: “Can you add a new orderset to the EMR? How else will we get doctors to change the way they practice?” (Spoiler alert: ordersets, in and of themselves, don’t change the way they practice.) “Can we implement this fabulous new software that will make everything so much better?” (Spoiler alert: No software is going to fix your broken process. Fix it first.) “Can you interface this machine for me? I swear it will save 2 people like 30 minutes a year!” (I don’t even need to tell you the spoiler on this one.) Technology does not create change. People create change. Technology cements the change in place. In this paper, Dr. Walavan Sivakumar et al. report on a remarkably successful Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pilot at PROVIDENCE LITTLE COMPANY OF MARY, TORRANCE and PROVIDENCE ST JOHNS HEALTH CENTER. Sivakumar and team showed a reduction in cost per case of $7000, discharge 1.25 days sooner, and maybe most significant to our patients: >90% were discharged home. All this, without investing in any fancy new IS work. Providence Clinical Informatics partnered with Dr. Sivakumar every step along the way to help design a consistent and repeatable workflow, fully leveraging the capabilities of our EHR, without requiring any costly changes. The lesson: an interdisciplinary partnership, including clinical informatics, allows teams to successfully drive transformational change, with or without “IS resources”. Technology can make the change stick. Technology can make the change scale. But technology does not make the change. Now, you want to scale this to 52 hospitals? Lets talk. -- Thank you to Dr. Sivakumar for the shout out in the paper! The Providence Clinical Informatics South Division team really knocked this one out of the park. Thanks to their whole team led by Dr. Weip Chen CMIO and Karen Walter RN, MSN CNIO. Great work! #providenceci #eras #transforminghealthcare #epic https://lnkd.in/gQaPHkic

I talk a lot about COEs and Carrum- but do you really know what our solution is providing? It boils down to 3 things: - Quality - Cost - Experience TLDR: In a nutshell we deliver top surgical quality, at a huge discount, with a patient centric approach that consistently is rated world class. The full picture: We own our network, we keep our patient support team in house - and we continue to expand both our bundles and our providers. Surgical spend can be an after thought in some strategy roadmaps - it’s only 10% of any given population after all. Until you realize that even with only 5-10% of the population having surgery, those cases can drive 35-50% of the overall medical spend. Especially with surgical spend trending even higher than the average medical trend, it’s not something you can ignore and get to “someday”. If it’s not on your roadmap - ask your consultant how they plan on addressing surgical spend over the next 5 years.

This article spoke to me...Healthcare is not in the business of building widgets. There is a strong desire to increase access to care. Prioritizing profit margins over patient safety is leading to adverse outcomes. Additionally, the lack of standardized education and training for non-physician practitioners is increasing costs for both patients and the system overall - and expediting their training or increasing their scope of practice will not fill the gaps. Perhaps we can focus on more balanced reforms like helping NPPs be better prepared with more standardization of their education and training, and on the other hand, start to grow more physicians with increasing residency positions. Access should be expanded while prioritizing the delivery of quality care.

Adopting new technology is both exhilarating and challenging, as it requires an intricate process of evaluating considerations such as cost, risk, and impact on workflow. More importantly, however, decision-making hinges on the innovation’s potential benefit to patients, including how it enhances care and surgical outcomes. In the May issue of Ophthalmology Times, Robert J. Weinstock, MD, gave a list of considerations that are paramount for the successful integration of innovation: "We have all contemplated adding new technologies to our repertoire because of their novelty, but before leaping into the fray of innovation, a thoughtful assessment of the proposed technology (grounded in your ethos of patient care) must be conducted."
