What exactly is a “learning health system”? In several of our episodes, you've heard us talk about how data collection has modernized through new technologies and enhanced approaches to clinical trials. But now that we have all that data, we need to transform it into clinical practice. Learning health systems are all about completing this virtuous cycle from scientific discovery to implementation, and yet, there are few that exist and work well. In this episode, you'll hear us discuss (and perhaps debate) what a true learning health system looks like, as well as how informatics can help lead the charge. Up first on our panel of distinguished guests is Dr. Genevieve Melton-Meaux, a Professor of Surgery and Senior Associate Dean of Health Informatics and Data Science at the University of Minnesota. Among her many accolades, she is a Past President of the American College of Medical Informatics, current President of the American Medical Informatics Association, and Director for the Center of Learning Health System Sciences at Minnesota. Her research focuses on clinical natural language processing, surgical informatics, and optimizing AI best practices. We were also joined by Dr. Chuck Friedman, a Professor of Medical Education and Chair of the Department of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School. He is also the editor-in-chief of the open-access journal Learning Health Systems. Drawing from his time at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology in the U.S. Department for Health and Human Services, he helped transform Michigan's medical education department into one of the first in the nation to focus on learning health at all levels, including large-scale information infrastructure. Finally, we had Dr. Peter Embí, Professor and Chair of the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Prior, he served as President and CEO of the Regenstrief Institute, a not-for-profit health care research organization in Indianapolis, Indiana that seeks to develop, conduct, and disseminate scientific research across communities. A Past President of the American Medical Informatics Association, his research centers on data-driven learning health systems. We are also pleased to share an original learning health systems “anthem,” composed by Molly Sinderbrand, called “System Problems Need System Solutions.” In our jazzy rendition, it was performed by pianist Phil Barrison and our very own Kevin Johnson on vocals! We appreciate all their contributions and are excited to feature it at the end of this episode! Tackling a topic like this required top-notch guests, and they delivered! We hope you enjoy listening.

Washington, DC, August 23, 2024 — On this month's podcast, the National Association of County and City Health Officials' (NACCHO) Victoria Van de Vate, Director of Government Affairs, and Lauren Mastroberardino, Government Affairs Senior Specialist, provided an outlook for federal funding this fall, amid the summer Congressional recess and the upcoming election season. They also discussed the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) Senate Appropriations Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill (also known as the Labor-HHS bill), and how that sets up possible funding negotiations later this year. For more updates and to subscribe to the weekly newsletter, visit: www.naccho.org/advocacy.   Later in the program (6:34), NACCHO's Victoria Van de Vate, Director of Government Affairs, and Meghan Shea, Senior Program Analyst - Informatics, discussed key findings from NACCHO's 2024 Public Health Informatics Profile. The first-of-its-kind assessment fills a key gap in our nation's understanding of the information science workforce, data systems, and the overall scope of informatics at the local public health level. The findings illuminate a wide picture of informatics and data modernization efforts across the country. Notably, key findings show that while over half of local health departments are working on data modernization initiatives, most are doing so without a dedicated informatics team or department. There is also a high level of interest in using AI, with over half of local health departments interested in adapting AI or machine learning into their work.   ###    About NACCHO The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) represents the over 3,300 local governmental health departments across the country. These city, county, metropolitan, district, and tribal departments work every day to protect and promote health and well-being for all people in their communities.

Welcome, everyone, to your introductory course in public health informatics! On today's episode, we discuss all things public health, including what it is, how it varies on a state and national level, and how health departments respond to public health crises. We demystify some of our misconceptions about how the public health system works, like how state departments are separate from the CDC, how we share disease statistics such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how our medical history may or may not travel with us from state to state. Of course, our question always is, why does informatics matter in this conversation? Our guests have many ideas about how we can utilize informatics to create more efficient means of sharing data and, by extension, improving our overall public health. Dr. Bryant Thomas Karras is the Chief Medical Informatics Officer at the State of Washington Department of Health and a faculty member at the University of Washington's School of Public Health. He is a physician, biomedical engineer, and informatician who uses his multifaceted experience to promote interoperability and help various agencies utilize new technologies in their public health efforts. He's advised health departments on a local, state, and national level, including the Center of Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Jessie Tenenbaum is an Associate Professor at Duke University School of Medicine, and she recently concluded a five-year tenure as the Chief Data Officer for the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

In this episode we continue our interoperability conversation with CHESS Vice President of Health Informatics, Mark Dunnagan. Last time, we focused on the importance of shared data in value based care and the need to overcome any barriers. Today we talk about the logistics of interoperability and the modernization of data exchange.Mark, last time we left off talking about data exchange There always seems to be ongoing conversations in this topic about APIs. Do you feel like more improvement in APIs could be a potential solution?I do I use the metaphor of a quiver of arrows quite often when describing you know interoperability. I think you know it's my job as you know the head of a team that that must figure out how to get data and get it in a timely fashion and in a way that fulfills our contractual obligations and our obligations to the patient. I think APIs is one more arrow in the quiver. You know it gives us a programmatic way to access you know large volumes of complex data, but it's not necessarily the only way. You know when we sign on a health system let's say to one of our ACOs, you know I can pretty much rest assured that they're using one of a small number of vendors and you know those vendors are fully capable of producing certain constructs that that my team can consume. Same with most payers. Although you know, the outputs may differ certainly. But as I work my way down the chain, particularly in working with ambulatory clinics and what not, you know, I gosh last time I checked there are over 200 EMRs here in my home state of North Carolina. Each one of those with a slightly different interpretation of certain standards. Not all of them have viable API interfaces, you know, not all of them have the same way of communicating with them. So, I have to be open to old school HL 7, which is kind of the equivalent of opening up a channel and typing over it. I have to be open to flat file exchange. I have to be open to various forms of XML, JSON, and it truly depends on what that endpoint can offer. So again, APIs are extremely valuable but they're not the only tool that a team like mine has to has to be able to wield to be interoperable to be successful in the exchange of healthcare data.Interesting. So as someone who's spent a career in the data and informatics space, can you share how these analytical tools help control the cost of healthcare?There's many answers to this. I would say again I'll draw back to what we do which is value based services. You know I need to know when something happens and I need to be able to inform our performance improvement teams and so that they can communicate with the providers. I need to inform the care managers when something of interest when someone is checked into a hospital, someone has sought, you know, specialty care outside of network, when someone has been discharged, they need to know that and I need to inform them, you know, not only that it's happened, but give them enough descriptive information that they can intervene appropriately. I would go further to say that I need to glean enough good information, rather my team has to be able to accumulate and collate enough information to get ahead of what might be coming. You know, we're making some very powerful strides, you know, not only in, you know, intelligently stratifying our population to kind of know who to intervene with first, but also in quantifying rising risk and rising cost. Who do we think based on what we're seeing happen now? What do we think's going to happen to them tomorrow? And can we get ahead of that in time to affect that? Can we keep them out of the hospital? Do we know there's a costly intervention or fall coming, and can we intervene or get them some community based services in time? So, you know it's a large part of what we do and and again something that at least on the value side we have to contemplate every day.Do...

Today we are here with Mark Dunnagan, CHESS Vice President of Health Informatics to talk about Interoperability, what it means, why it matters in health care, and how better access to patient data for the entire care team will lead to improved outcomes for patients at a lower cost.Mark Dunnagan, welcome to the Move to Value podcast. Thanks, Thomas. Glad to be here.So, Mark, today I want to talk a little bit about interoperability with you. So, can you first off explain what interoperability is?Well, in the in the simplest terms, interoperability at least in in my travels is a is a metaphor for a conversation. Think of it like provider A wants to talk to provider B about patient Mark and it's a means of making that happen.And why is interoperability important for healthcare?Well, I think in line with the metaphor of the conversation, you know, I think fifty, seventy-five, a hundred years ago when you only had one physician and they knew everything about you. You know, maybe it made sense, but in modern times with you know the various ways of receiving care, you know it, physicians don't know everything about you and there's no way for those forms that you fill out, you know, annoyingly so, when you go to the physician's office can express everything that has happened to you. Interoperability is, is the key to that. Again, to know where Mark's been and what happened to Mark and why it may have happened.Well Mark, can you share a real world example of how interoperability provides value to healthcare?So, I can and it's part and parcel of that what we do on the value side literally every day. We receive what we call ADT feeds. It's basically a notification that you know one of the patients under our care has recently checked into a hospital or has recently depending on the depth of the ADT Feed perhaps been seen out of network or gone to specialty services or whatnot. But that ADT Feed that notification that that one of the lives that we care about has been touched in some way by healthcare entities around us gives us information that we need to know to intervene appropriately. That if someone has been discharged home that we can you know abide by our contractual obligations to check in on them. That if someone has been seen out of network perhaps you know seeking high cost, high value services that we can make sure we understand what and why. And again provided you know the appropriate care management or interventions to help them with that. So again you know that is part and parcel what my teams deal with every day in a in a huge part of of the services that we provide. Without that form of interoperability we would struggle to provide the value that we do.That's fascinating. So, so we've established that the need for patient data exchange between providers is very important. How can we, how can we continue to close this information gap, how can we make this a better exchange?There's a million answers to this. I think I think that the foundational elements to make interoperability real or are there and to be honest with you have been there for some time Now, granted, what becomes interoperable meaning the data that we need to share continues to expand. You know of late; you know care plans and then the ingestion or the sharing of perhaps behavioral health information, you know the breadth of the data continues to expand. But the notions of interoperability have always been there as far as the structure, you know, the, the shape if you will, of the data and how it's exchanged and then kind of the language, the nomenclature, the codified values there, there are at least examples and standard terminologies that can be used for most everything. I think you know, for me the struggles, if you will, continue to be around, you know, adoption and certainly EMR technologies take...

When you watch ICF's videos on Youtube, what you see publicly are representatives from a city celebrating when their city is named Intelligent Community of the Year. Sometimes, as in the case of the mayor of Espoo, Finland, you see tears of joy. Sometimes, you see Eindhoven representatives from The Netherlands donning red shirts in celebration or Columbus representatives from Ohio storming the stage behind their mayor like a football club. What you do not see is the incredibly hard work done by a group of people from around the world to analyze the information from these cities, assess it and judge them for you, the world's media and other aspiring places. They are the ICF Analysts and Jurors, the heart and soul – and the brains – of the ICF Awards program. In Part 2 of this podcast series, ICF co-founder Lou Zacharilla speaks further with 6 of them to collect their memories, thoughts and advice for cities around the world as ICF heads toward naming a successor to New Taipei City as the 2023 Intelligent Community of the Year next week.

Welcome to this exclusive interview with Yemi Arunsi, the Chairman of the Davis County Republican Party. Yemi is not just a political figure, but a proud American who holds the United States Constitution in high regard as a divinely inspired protector of our God-given rights. As an immigrant, a father, a husband, and a dedicated public servant, Yemi strongly believes in the values, principles, and the American dream that make this country so exceptional. A true patriot, he carries a deep love for God, country, and his home state of Utah. In this interview, we have the privilege to delve into Yemi's perspectives on politics, his vision for a better America, and his unwavering commitment to serving the people.       From his website: Yemi Arunsi | For Davis County GOP Chair "With more than a decade of work in the healthcare industry, and service to the United States Air Force Reserve, Yemi Arunsi is a standout candidate for Davis County Republican Party Chair. From humanitarian missions to volunteer opportunities, Yemi continually upholds the Air Force core value of Service Before Self. Yemi Arunsi has dedicated his career to the healthcare industry and United States Air Force Reserve, continually demonstrating a commitment to giving back. Although he was born in New York, Yemi's appreciation for America was born out of his upbringing in Nigeria during a time of unrest. These experiences influenced his gratitude for the Constitution of the United States and the example it sets for the rest of the world. Yemi earned two bachelor's degrees and two master's degrees before working in the Department of Veterans Affairs for a decade. As the Davis County Republican Party Chair, Yemi will approach the topic of rapid growth in a way that allows everyone to be heard. His experience lends itself to improving fundraising efforts and helping his fellow conservatives win key races. While acknowledging the importance of welcoming newcomers, he hopes to reinforce the county's commitment to Republican principles and service-driven leadership. YEMi'S STORY Although Yemi was born in New York, he spent most of his childhood in Nigeria. His love and appreciation for America were born out of his upbringing during a time of civil unrest. His father was a politician in Nigeria, but eventually saw his career upended after a military coup. These experiences influenced Yemi's gratitude for the Constitution of the United States and the example it sets for the rest of the world. Upon returning to America for college, Yemi was a young man trying to follow what he says is so ingrained in Black culture. He registered as a Democrat and dealt with an internal battle as he realized his views didn't align with the progressivism of the party. He quickly changed his status while pursuing higher education and committed himself to a life centered around service and conservative values. Yemi holds a B.S. in Healthcare Management and an M.S. in Health Informatics from Northeastern University. Additionally, he completed his B.S. in Nursing at the University of Massachusetts and a Master of Health Care Delivery Science (MHCDS) at Dartmouth College. After completing his education, he worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs in several management and advisory roles. After coming across a case concerning a Prisoner of War who declined thousands of dollars in monthly benefits, he was struck by the selfless nature of the veterans he served. This prompted him to contact a recruiter in order to earn a commission in the United States Air Force Reserve. Since joining, he has successfully completed three different activations, including a humanitarian mission to provide medical, dental, and mental health services to low-income families. As the Davis County Republican Party Chair, Yemi will approach the topic of rapid growth in a way that allows everyone to be heard. He acknowledges the importance of welcoming new conservatives into the fold, but wants to ensure the community remains committed to Republican principles. Yemi will work to bolster fundraising efforts and will maximize every opportunity for his fellow conservatives to win key races. Above all, his goal is to protect and secure the reputation of Davis County as a loving and service-driven community that works together. Yemi continues to work in a healthcare leadership role in Salt Lake City. He also volunteers as a community advocate serving at-risk youth and is the Vice Chair for his precinct in North Salt Lake. In addition to service, Yemi values faith and family as his top priorities. He and his wife, Kristin met in Holladay, Utah. They have one child.

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare technology, humility is the compass that guides successful change management. It reminds us that the journey towards seamless adoption of health information technology is a collaborative one, where the wisdom of many outweighs the knowledge of one.  The humility to acknowledge one's limitations fosters an environment where collaboration and learning thrive. In the context of clinical informatics, allyship and teamwork are indispensable. Effective clinical informatics demands a diverse skill set, often spanning healthcare providers, IT specialists, and administrative personnel. Allyship within this multidisciplinary team is essential, and applied clinical informatics can be the linchpin in the transition to value-based care.  Through successful HIT implementation, leaders can illuminate the path to better outcomes, reduced costs, and patient-centered excellence. A new era for Clinical Informatics is upon us and will empower healthcare with data-driven insights, AI capabilities, virtual care at scale, and precision medicine to ensure that quality triumphs over quantity in our pursuit of healthier communities. On the Race to Value this week, we are joined by Brittany Partridge, a national thought leader on health data management and informatics.  Brittany is passionate about implementing technology that impacts clinical workflow in a positive way and increases patients' access to care. Join us for an informative discussion on Clinical Informatics, the importance of allyship to mitigate medical technology risk, the impact of Generative AI and virtual care on health system transformation, and change management best practices to lead your organization to successful healthcare innovation. Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Introduction to Brittany Partridge, an industry leader in Virtual Care Technical Architecture and Informatics Implementations. 03:00 Recent book collaboration with Ed Marx – “Voices of Innovation:  Fulfilling the Promise of Information Technology in Healthcare” 04:30 The sub-disciplines of Health Informatics (e.g. Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Biomedical, Medical, and Clinical Informatics). 06:00 AMIA: Why Informatics? -  “Informatics is the overarching field of study that pulls all these subdomains into one discipline focused on improving health and healthcare.” 06:30 Applied Clinical Informatics – the frontline of healthcare innovation with direct clinician interaction. 07:00 Early experiences in e-prescribing implementations that led to other care delivery innovations such as virtual care and remote patient monitoring. 08:00 The intersection of Clinical Informatics and VBC (ensuring tech usability to optimize care workflows for clinical quality improvement). 09:00 Best Practice Advisories (BPAs) – pop-up alerts to empower clinicians to make the best informed decisions at the point-of-care. 09:45 Leveraging technology innovations to improve patient access and affordability. 11:30 The importance of shadowing and workflow analysis as a catalyst for innovation. 13:00 How shadowing is incorporated into user validation, user design, and Lean (“Go to the Gemba”) 14:00 Simply asking clinicians to describe a workflow is insufficient in understanding the entire process. 15:00 “Get a robust current state workflow before you implement any innovation project because you need to know what you're going to be replacing.” 15:45 How virtual interactions with providers can complement provider shadowing in an embedded CI model. 16:30 Non-judgement in applied clinical informatics is required to build trust. 17:30 “The most important part of rolling out any technology project is clinician trust. They need to know that you have their best interests at heart.” 19:45 Allyship is key to reducing medical technology risk because the inclusion of diverse perspectives yields the greatest rewards. 21:30 “Fail fast and iterate” and “Perfect being the enemy of good” philosophies don'...
