8. Institute of Medicine (IOM)
A U.S. organization to promote HIT
IOM 2001 Report: Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century
The U.S. health care delivery system does not provide consistent, high-quality medical care to all people.
Faced with such rapid changes, the nation’s health care delivery system has fallen far short in its ability to translate knowledge into practice and to apply new technology safely and appropriately.
Today’s health system remains overly devoted to dealing with acute, episodic care needs. The public’s health care needs to focus on common, chronic disease care, as well.
The health care delivery system also is poorly organized to meet the challenges at hand.

9. 6 Dimensions of Healthcare Quality

10. 6 Aims for Improvement by IOM
Safe
Effective
Patient-centered
Timely
Efficient
Equitable

11. 6 Aims for Improvement by IOM
_________: avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them
_________: providing services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit, and refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit.
_________: providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.
_________: reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and those who give care.
_________: avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy.
_________: providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic status.

12. 12 Recommendations on HIT Apps by IOM

16. Final Group Project
Identify a problem or an issue in HIT and provide potential solutions by developing an application mockup.
Focus on the consumer side as one are for growth, what will consumers need to navigate the health mess?
As part of your assignment, you should review a "significant" number of technology applications. Find applications more appropriate to your technology interests and your background. Applications can be web-based, mobile apps, or a combination.
A good place to start is the FSU Health Informatics FB group (subscribe!)

17. Final Group Project Deliverables
Project topic selection by 9/10.
2-page project proposal submission by 9/17.
Problem statement
Evidence
Potential solutions
Application template demo
Each group will have a demo of the prototype template of the applications on 11/3, 11/5
Final project presentation on 12/1, 12/3
Project report submission by 12/8

18. This project requires a significant amount of group participation in order to complete.
More than any other group of which you have been a part, this group needs you 100%. That means making time for ALL group meetings, responding to ALL s from any member of your group, notifying ALL group members of personal situations (illness, death in family, etc.) that affect your ability to meet and work with the group, meeting all deadlines and exceeding ALL expectations.
Enjoy this opportunity for group work! You will be challenged, but, at the same time, you will realize that group work can be more productive than individual work.
Peer-evaluation will be conducted at the end of the course, and it will be reflected in your term project grade. Be polite and respectful to one another.
Most importantly, communicate and collaborate with your members all the time.

19. Group Meeting
Meet and greet your group members. Decide the leader of the group.
Plan the date and time for the group meetings during semester.
Exchange s and phone numbers among the members.
Discuss the possible topics/problems/issues in HIT. Share your own topics with the group members.
Fill out the worksheet and submit it to the instructor before you leave class today.
