HCS D PRACTICE SOLUTION STUDY SHEET
QUESTIONS AND DETAILED SOLUTIONS
●● surgeon score costs
Answer: - lower supply costs
- All surgical departments were eligible for a financial incentive if they
met a 5% cost reduction goal.
- Patient outcomes—30-day readmission, 30-day mortality, and
discharge status—were equivalent or improved after the intervention
- surgeons who received scorecards reported higher levels of cost
awareness on compared to the control group
●● control/ tracking of Opioid/ highly addictive drugs
Answer: - Pill-tracking databases
- President Obama's administration to tame the current epidemic of
opioid and painkillers such as Vicodin and OxyContin
- stop "Doctor Shopping" where patients rack up multiple prescription
from different doctors.
●● transforming medical education
Answer: - consortium of medical schools are working synergistically to
develop common solutions to transform medical education in key areas
- Developing flexible, competency-based pathways
,- Teaching new contents in healthcare delivery sciences
- Working with healthcare delivery system in novel ways
- Making technology work for learning
- Envisioning the master adaptive learner
- Shaping tomorrow's leaders
●● Future healthcare professionals need to understand the new content
of healthcare delivery science
Answer: - Understand how to improve healthcare quality
- Increase the value of care provided
- Enhance patient safety
- Deliver population-based medical care
- Work collaboratively in teams
●● Consortium schools
Answer: - creating new learning experiences embedded within
healthcare system that not only teach principles of healthcare delivery
sciences but also bring value to the healthcare system
- be patient navigators
- plan and execute quality improvement projects
- perform important fx that benefit pt-centered teams
●● Evidence Based Medicine (EBM)
,Answer: - use of current best evidence in making decisions about the
care of individual patients
- the intersection of individual clinical expertise and experience, external
evidence and value to the patient
- embraces the concept of Shared Decision-Making Process
●● evidence
Answer: - can be generated from both extant medical and scientific
literature and practice-based information and experience
- Data are collected from Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT)
- based on stats; normal or gaussian dist.
●● 7 steps of EBM
Answer: 1) Identifying the Patient Condition
2) Formulating EBM Question/Hypothesis
3) Evidence Gathering (Data Collection)
4) Evidence Evaluation (Data evaluation and analysis)
5) Relay and share the finding with the patient (shared decision process)
6) Implementation of the shared decision strategy
7) Evaluate the results or outcome
●● EBM outcome
, Answer: - results in a decrease in overall therapy, providers can
confidently recommend the most effective therapy as the first line of
treatment
- reduce the cost of healthcare by prescribing less expensive drugs
and/or interventions
- reduce the number of hospital stay/visits
- Other cost saving measures include efficient management of chronic
care, reducing adverse drug effects or preventing diseases through
screening
●● precision medicine
Answer: - Tailoring of disease prevention and treatment based on the
characteristics of each individual
- new implications due to tech
●● President Obama's Precision Medicine Initiative (2015)
Answer: - innovative approach to disease prevention and treatment that
takes into account individual differences in people's genes, environments
and lifestyles
●● Precision Medicine Initiative
Answer: - 2016 budget: 216 million
Goals:
- Develop more and better treatments for cancer
