Integrations of SDOH into Healthcare Technology

Patients are people first; treating them holistically requires the use of insights derived from both clinical and non-clinical data. To achieve full integration of SDOH into healthcare true collaboration among clinical and social entities are a necessary step in redefining how healthcare serves its people.

Today, Screening for social determinants of health(SDOH)is increasingly done in primary and specialty care settings. Payers and health care organizations have recognized the importance of these determinants not just to clinical outcomes but also to cost and use of services. Toward that end, both clinical and financial cases have been made for an expanded focus on SDOH for many, if not all, patients. However, a part from system challenges, one of the biggest challenges that this will have moving forward towards patient populations is one of ethics and the acceptance of appropriate standardization processes and guidelines. Some SDOH is driven by complex social and structural factors, such as racism immigration status, and may be difficult to describe in a diagnostic construct such as ICD-10.

Creating a “perfect” bridge between the medical and social construct specifically for an individual is not an easy feat oftentimes burdened with gaining access to information deemed more sensitive that individuals would want to share in an office visit. Health has deep roots in communities, non-healthcare institutions, policies, and social hierarchies such as those posed by race, class, and gender. Quantifying that complexity is difficult and needs cooperation from these organizations. When asked which non-medical barriers to care or health the respondents’ organizations plan to act on in the next year, Nearly two-thirds (63.7%) of respondents named care coordination, a traditional companion service to direct medical care, as a key to overcoming barriers. It is important to note in order to achieve full integration of SDOH into healthcare to overcome ethical barriers, compliance, and social constructs true collaboration and partnership among entities serviced by individuals are a necessary step in redefining how healthcare cares for the people it is intended to serve.

Blockchain HIMSS Summit

HIMSS Australia Digital Health Summit 2019

The HIMSS CXO dialogue series is a series of conversations that bring health leaders together to discuss technology and other developments that affect the health world. Recently, Patientory’s CEO was invited to join in on one of those dialogues, located in Sydney, Australia. The main message the company wanted to carry is the idea of networking patients and how this can be used to create a more efficient health system, specifically focused on cybersecurity.

It may appear to go without saying, but if there is no cybersecurity, digital health simply cannot exist. Health data is intended to be viewed by only a select group of people, and if that cannot be guaranteed, nearly everyone will reject their data going digital. This was the principal message of the most recent HIMSS CXO dialogue. Another one of the messages was that of connected care: the idea that real-time, electronic communication between a patient and healthcare provider will improve levels of health care overall. A third message was interoperability: the practice of standardizing healthcare in electronic form to make the transfer of data for care simpler.

HIMSS members share inefficiencies from lack of cybersecurity, including hijacked defibrillators and manipulated CT images. Those sorts of stories would make anyone raise an eyebrow, but even more begin security lapses can occur.Email is one of the most common ways that cybersecurity can lapse. Sensitive data sent from one provider to another can be intercepted and used in a variety of nefarious ways.

Australia has recently set up an online system, My Health Record, that is going to be a crucial part of their digitization of health care, and so security is even more of an issue there. It will make it easier for patients to access all of their health information, but if it’s not encrypted properly anyone else with a computer and some technical knowledge can see it too. Fitness trackers are becoming more common, and doctors can use the data provided, but the security on them is even more lax than email. The worry is real: ransomware recently took down large swaths of the UK’s NHS system.

It’s not the first time that Patientory has been part of a HIMSS discussion; in February they were part of the HIMSS Blockchain Forum. And not surprisingly, blockchain technology was also part of the solutions discussed at the new dialogue.

Blockchain is not a magic solution to the problem of cybersecurity, but it does make several aspects of it easier. Even if someone somehow hijacked a defibrillator, the blockchain system would identify who did it and when – and none of that could be modified or deleted. Since blockchain notes all changes made in the system, a manipulated CT image wouldn’t be the only one: the original image would be preserved somewhere. The chain itself wouldn’t store any data, but the other systems would be able to use their own storage systems that could be monitored with the chain.

Even with the most optimistic predictions for its use, blockchain is just a tool. If the storage systems mentioned above are poorly designed, the chain can say an image was changed or device tampered with, but won’t have a way to get the image from before or trace how someone tampered with it. The summit aimed to make that a little easier by giving some interoperability standards for providers to follow. If those are adhered to, it’ll make the implementation of the tool all that easier.

Blockchain In Internet of Things

Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) are both poised to be world-changing technologies, just at the beginning of their adoption curve.

What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?

The internet of things (IoT), is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, that are provided with unique identifiers ( UIDs ) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

The total installed base of the Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices is projected to amount to 75.44 billion worldwide by 2025, a fivefold increase in ten years. 

The IoT, enabled by the already ubiquitous Internet technology, is the next major step in delivering the Internet’s promise of making the world a connected place.

Source: statista.com

 

What is Blockchain?

Blockchain is a distributed database existing on multiple computers at the same time. It is constantly growing as new sets of recordings, or ‘blocks’, are added to it. Each block contains a timestamp and a link to the previous block, so they actually form a chain.

Blockchain in IoT

At the current rate that how technology is evolving, it’s not weird to discuss the potential implementation of blockchain when it comes to connectivity and internet of things. IoT – is not complicated; It’s the concept of connecting any real-world devices to the Internet and devices to each other. The communication between these devices with each other and the internet can be facilitated through blockchain technology. The distributed ledger technology allows for a list of interactions between the devices and the internet. This way, we can keep track of not only which devices interact with each other and the internet, but also what is being done through each interaction. Blockchain is designed as a basis for applications that involve transactions and interactions, so you can see why and how this might help when it comes to IoT.

IoT and blockchain can be used to increase security infrastructure and also used for the extraction and analysis of data.

Conclusion

Blockchain technology is the missing link to settle scalability, privacy, and reliability concerns in the Internet of Things. Blockchain technologies could perhaps be the silver bullet needed by the IoT industry. The decentralized approach would eliminate single points of failure, creating a more resilient ecosystem for devices to run on.

Blockchain DApps Interns Patients Public Health

Patientory Summer Interns 2019

National Intern Day, which is the third Thursday in July, was started in 2017 and was created to recognize interns for all of the hard work that they do. In celebration of this day, this year, we’ve had the pleasure of having seven students from Georgia State University’s Clinical Informatics Department working with us as part of the Patientory internship program.

Internship Program

Our summer internship program this year ran for 6 weeks. Seven students were chosen to join us at the Atlanta Tech Village the 4th largest startup co-worker hub in the United States. 

Partnership with Georgia State University

Our new partnership with Georgia State University Byrdine F. Lewis School of Nursing provides their students with clinical informatics experience to aid in preparing a workforce for advancing the future of healthcare delivery.

Health Informatics Graduates

Health informatics as an industry is still in its infancy. Healthcare providers were slow to adopt clinical information systems at the point of care. Only now, because federal requirements accelerated the implementation of electronic health records, is the industry starting to evolve. Now that all this health information is in electronic form, the ability to analyze this immense volume of data has created new opportunities to improve care. That’s why the federal government is predicting such huge growth in this area over the next decade. In fact, the major issue that the industry is now facing is the lack of individuals with training and experience to fill the many open positions. 

There were seven interns along with their supervisors and other leaders in attendance. They are studying the field of health informatics, the design, and implementation of IT-related in health care at Georgia State University, the public research university in Atlanta, Georgia. 

  1. Thuy DoTran
  2. Yemuda Killen
  3. Tram Bui
  4. Xueling Wang
  5. Quynh Nguyen
  6. Salman Simjee
  7. Olivia Collins

Part of the internship program consisted of the interns giving short presentations about what they learned throughout the course of their internship, and how they will use their new skills in their future careers.

One of these interns, Salman Simjee, described our company culture as, “[The] team is very open and supportive. They were always present to listen to our questions and provided us with insights about the industry.”

“The company culture is nice and respectable as well as the people who work at the Atlanta Tech Village.“ Quynh Nguyen. 

New Horizons

Interns learned more about how clinical informatics can improve the overall patient experience such as,

  1. Technology APIs electronic medical records integrations (HL7/FHIR, etc)
  2. KPIs (based on electronic data)/CHF disease states examples
  3. Nursing informatics and Smart FHIR training recommendations
  4. What is being offered by other patient centric healthcare IT as Analytics
  5. Analytic visualizations for both mobile and enterprise

And a lot more!

Final Day

Most of the interns already knew what they wanted to pursue coming into the internship. Tram Bui says she pursued Clinical Informatics at Georgia State University to become a healthcare data analyst and the patientory internship program helped her to kick start her dreams.

On the final day of the program, all our interns shared feedback about how their internship helped them figure out what career path they want to take.

We expect that number to continue to increase, by next summer, 2020.

CASE STUDY: Forging The Path To Consumer-Directed Health Through Blockchain Technology

Overview and Background

Despite incredible advancements over the last decade in converting paper healthcare records into digital data, a vast majority of consumers lack access to their electronic medical records. Sadly, many people cannot manage their healthcare records any better than they could a decade ago or even three decades ago. While it can be easy for some to point the finger at the bureaucracy and red tape of healthcare institutions, the truth is that many of these institutions would like to share data with their patients but don’t have a secure and easy way to do this. This challenging dynamic is because many medical providers use different electronic health record (EHR) systems that actually may not be able to communicate with one another easily. The resulting situation has become a significant problem where patients are caught in the middle of the healthcare industry’s lack of interoperability and without solutions that can provide patients accessible and secure healthcare data.

Patientory DApp Solution

Patientory, a digital health company based in Atlanta, Georgia, has developed a distributed application DApp solution that provides individual consumers with quick, easy, and secure access to their healthcare data. As the industry leader for DApp blockchain solutions, Patientory recently developed the first version of its beta DApp for consumers.

Patientory’s DApp leverages blockchain technology, which is an open and secure technology that captures transaction records on blocks that are connected and stores them on a distributed and encoded database that acts as a ledger. Blockchain has incredible security benefits as the records are spread across a replicated database network in which all the databases are in sync. Users, however, can only access the blocks to which they have permission to. Lastly, all the transactions that happen over blockchain are date and time stamped.

As for DApps, they are applications that interface with blockchains which are not stored or controlled by a single entity or in a single location. This means that a particular EHR or healthcare provider does not solely control an individual’s healthcare data, thus allowing for more efficient, user-friendly, and secure sharing of healthcare data among different providers
and EHR platforms.

This new DApp solution was created from research data Patientory has collected over the past few years regarding the challenges that healthcare consumers face on a regular basis and how these challenges have evolved over time. With the DApp solution, Patientory’s goal is to create a one-stop-shop solution for healthcare consumers, where they can access their health information, engage in health-related transactions, and become empowered to improve their health by having the necessary data and tools to do so.

The DApp Beta Test

To evaluate the DApp’s product-market fit and overall effectiveness as a solution, Patientory initiated a beta test project with specific goals outlined. The goals of their research were:

  • To verify the efficacy of the distributed App
  • To seek insight into the interface’s user acceptance and general quality
  • To examine product functionality in real-world user environments and test the necessary support infrastructure
  • To collect customer suggestions and testimonials, test the profile establishment protocols and the goal-setting, activity tracking, and wallet functionalities alongside the data storage protocols for securing personal health information (PHI) within the PTOYNET™ private permissioned blockchain
  • To identify opportunities for future development regarding desirable user features and functionality

To best accomplish their goals, 80 beta users were selected to use the app for three months in all functionality areas from setting goals, tracking fitness activities, traveling internationally and utilizing the wallet feature with Dash and PTOY cryptocurrencies. The demographics and personas of the beta users were primarily affluent, health-conscious iPhone owners, with a majority owning one or more cryptocurrencies. These individuals are primarily based in the US, with a majority located in the urban settings of New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco, Los Angeles, as well as non-US countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland as well as India and Asia. At the end of the three months, the beta users were then
given a detailed survey requesting their feedback on their experience with the DApp solution.

DApp Beta User Survey Results

The below results a summary of key user feedback that Patientory received:

  • The DApp is relevant and engaging.
    • 90% of respondents found the entire app useful with no elements irrelevant.
    • 80% of respondents said that they did not find any parts of the app unnecessarily complicated.
    • More than half of respondents found the app ‘very engaging.’
  • Users found DApp most useful for fitness-related activity.
    • Respondents reported that goal-setting for walking and exercise was the most useful aspect of DApp.
    • Respondents also showed interest in nutrition tracking. While 80 percent of respondents reported that they track walking or steps, 60 percent reported tracking food and hydration
  • DApp is easy and fast to install and use.
    • A full 70 percent of participants reported that they felt that the app was easy and intuitive to install, and the remaining 30 percent reported that after this initial experience with the app, they would know exactly how to install it again in the future.
    • No one reported difficulty with installation or the need to have others help them install the app. Only one respondent said that they needed someone to show them how to use certain features of the app.
    • With respect to speed, 40 percent of participants found DApp much faster than most other apps they use and participants ran into no difficulties syncing the DApp with their other apps. Participants had between 10 and 260 different apps on their phones. No participants found the app slower than other apps.
  • Beta users generally felt that DApp comprehensively covered their healthcare-related needs currently.
    • When asked about what the DApp is missing, 50 percent responded “nothing,” and when asked what features participants would add, 30 percent said “none.”

Conclusion

From Patientory’s beta testing of its new beta and the subsequent user survey, it is evident that the DApp is meeting a clear and immediate need for the consumer market. Despite only being a beta product, the vast majority of users found the DApp to not only serve as a valuable healthcare solution but also function as an excellent tool for managing fitness and diet. Along with the value of the app, most individuals found the user experience to be very engaging and relevant, which is an indicator for repeated and ongoing use. Lastly, the back-end software of the app performed quite well according to a majority of users, with the speed of the app and ease and time of install getting high marks.

While these results reflect the feedback of a current beta product for Patientory and updates and enhancements will undoubtedly be made, the data shared in this report validates the value and need for Patientory’s DApp today. Nothing illustrates this idea more than a quote from a passionate beta user “I’m all in! I want to see this become a worldwide standard. Given our mobile society, this is key to saving lives.” We couldn’t agree more.
