Six Priorities for National Quality Srategy
– Make care safer by reducing harm caused in delivery of care
– Ensure patients and family are engaged inc are
– Promote effective communication and coordination of care
– Promote effective prevention and treatment practices
– Working with communities to promote wide use of best practices to enable healthy living
– Making Quality Care affordable for individuals, families, employers and governments by developing new health care models
How do we create implementation guides to make implementation more predictable. eg. With CCDA interpretation.
DoD shares over 1.5M health data points with VA.
It is not the number of transactions it is what you do with it. Transactions are necessary. But how do they affect care.
Q: Organizations don’t want to share. How do we encourage sharing?
DHA is in a different situation. Military members are automatically sharing their data. However, DHA is moving towards a shared model because of the benefits of engagement through involvement.
Transparency is required to encourage people to share their data.
