It notes that as a result of COVID-19 and the stay at home order, IoT came in handy with tele-health visits. There are improvements that are much needed in terms of interoperability with other systems in order for IoMT to be effective post pandemic. Another aspect that was discussed was the evolution of IoMT to be more predictive and not just informative, meaning IoMT devices could be used in primary prevention. ]]> 2021-11-28 17:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916450188 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916473876 While IoT in medicine has made major advances, data security continues to be a concern. Healthcare facilities are a hot spots for ransomware attacks and security breaches due to the nature of the information stored on its systems. Many hackers are using this sensitive stolen information to gain access to government health benefits, obtain prescription medications, etc. I found it interesting that the average cost for a healthcare facility to fix a security breach is about $408 per health record. Even though IoT is a major advance and could hugely benefit healthcare, it's scary to think of how vulnerable healthcare facilities are to attacks, given the sensitive nature of the data they store. ]]> 2021-11-28 17:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916473876 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916505612 This video summarizes The Cures Act, when it was implemented and what it entails. This act is an effort to improve patient health outcomes, allowing them access to their electronic medical records. It also facilitates the sharing of medical information between patients and providers, empowering patients to be active participants in their care. ]]> 2021-11-28 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916505612 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916523126 I found this video helpful as it demystified informatics and the use of technology and data collection in healthcare. Butte uses the example of the collection of diabetes medication data for all of the patients treated across the UCLA medical campuses. The data is collected and manipulated to project all of the treatment possibilities and trends in medication management in those with Type II diabetes. ]]> 2021-11-28 18:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916523126 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916535429 Through the collection of big data from various US hospitals, Truveta was able to identify patterns of breakthrough COVID infections in 1.7 million chronically ill, fully vaccinated patients. These patients were immunocompromised, or suffered from diabetes, chronic lung disease or kidney disease.  It was found that these patients are nearly twice as likely to be hospitalized from breakthrough COVID-19 infections than the average vaccinated population. This article exemplifies how big data collection can be used to inform healthcare. ]]> 2021-11-28 19:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916535429 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916568949 This article caught my attention as it highlights the power of healthcare data analytics. This market is projected to grow by $37.39 billion by 2026. One of the driving forces in this growth is big data and healthcare analytics. Key sectors that are in high demand are security products, easy access to data and patient information management. One concern, however, is data security and may be a factor in slowing the projected growth down. ]]> 2021-11-28 19:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916568949 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916606394 Initially, when I heard "informatics", I became intimidated because my mind jumps to computers and technology, which are both intimidating to me. I found this video interesting and helpful because it demonstrates how bedside nursing skills are transferable to nursing informatics. While I'm not a bedside nurse, I often wonder how one makes the transition into informatics. This video describes how nursing skills such as strong communication, multi-tasking and problem solving provide a platform for success in informatics. ]]> 2021-11-28 20:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1916606394 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1955921458 2021-12-19 22:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1955921458 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1955926315 2021-12-19 22:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1955926315 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1955942403 2021-12-19 22:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1955942403 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1955945686 2021-12-19 22:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/1955945686 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004069545 This CDC page is an example of how HIT can put public data to use. This particular page found on the CDC is from its COVID-19 Data Tracker. One is able to access weekly COVID-19 cases and deaths by geographic location. It can be further broken down by age, race, and sex. ]]> 2022-01-21 00:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004069545 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004129447 I liked this inphographic as it describes the different components and definitions of tele-health and telemedicine. I believe a lot of people use the terms interchangeably but there is a difference. Telehealth is more of an umbrella term that includes the technology and services provided, while telemedicine is the actual clinical care that is provided. As it is stated in the infographic, telemedicine is a form of tele-health. ]]> 2022-01-21 01:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004129447 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004140767 This website explains the tele -health policies and laws by state. It's interesting to compare and contrast policies of different states. I was able to review the laws governing tele- health/telemedicine in the state of MA. I found it interesting that Ma does not allow "Store and Forward" or remote patient monitoring.]]> 2022-01-21 01:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004140767 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004203137 Gamification is a strategy used to keep people motivated and engaged in meeting their health goals. The author states that "by 2027 the healthcare gamification market will reach 35,982.7 million USD from 3,072.5 million USD in 2019 (Georgiou, 2021)." This article provides all of the important aspects and a step by step guide to creating a successful health app, using gamification. Some of the important factors that must be considered are customization, engagement, motivation and usability. ]]> 2022-01-21 02:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004203137 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004205360 This article was interesting as it reviews the top 10 gamified health apps. It notes how the introduction of gamified apps is pertinent in preventative care and health promotion. I noticed that there are a number of apps that deal with physical therapy and encouraging patients to follow through with PT at home. The app I liked the most was Mango Health, where patients earn rewards for remembering to take their medication. ]]> 2022-01-21 02:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2004205360 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2007488242 I found this infographic interesting as it breaks down laws protecting health and education information. HIPAA refers to a patient's health information/ records and FERPA refers to a student's education records. It spells out the specific information that is protected and who can access it. ]]> 2022-01-23 19:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2007488242 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2007496004 This is a good infographic that explains the difference between EMRs, EHRs and PHRs. ]]> 2022-01-23 19:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2007496004 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2007537167 2022-01-23 20:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2007537167 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2007538068 2022-01-23 20:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2007538068 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2057647769 I liked this because it points out the keys reasons why infographics should be used- in the form of an infographic!]]> 2022-02-20 20:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2057647769 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2057655242 This was a helpful article because it provides tips on what to include in an infographic to make it stand out and captivate its intended audience. ]]> 2022-02-20 20:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2057655242 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2057665224 I liked this image because it includes a lot of the issues that come up when considering the use of electronic health records.]]> 2022-02-20 21:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2057665224 scottc35 https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2057668672 2022-02-20 21:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/scottc35/Bookmarks/wish/2057668672
