Leveraging Predictive Models to Reduce ReadmissionsHealth Catalyst
Far too often analytics efforts have fallen short of making a tangible impact on outcomes because they haven’t been successfully implemented in real workflows. Predictive models remain at risk of becoming isolated in their use along the continuum of care where their integration may provide benefits larger than the sum of each silo.
To combat this, UnityPoint Health (UPH) focused on integrating analytical models within the same readmission reduction strategy and coaching the care team to facilitate their adoption. Using this approach, one of UPH hospital’s risk-adjusted readmission indexes improved 40 percent over three years, surpassing internal system targets in performance and becoming the top performer in the health system.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe applicable predictive models useful in reducing 30-day readmissions.
- Learn the elements of a successful readmissions reduction strategy in an integrated health system.
- Understand common obstacles faced in the adoption of analytical tools and how to overcome them.
View this webinar to gain knowledge of the analytics tools and methods UPH used, including innovative individualized risk heat-maps generated for each patient, strategies for analytics adoption, and lessons learned along the way.
This document discusses guidelines for developing high quality decision analytic models. It provides an overview of decision analytic modeling and outlines best practices for model structure, data selection and preparation, validation, documentation, and ensuring models are relevant for decision-makers. The key points covered include using models as decision aids, synthesizing multiple data sources, establishing clinical and conceptual validity, transparency around assumptions, and providing documentation to allow others to understand model calculations and results.

Despite significant scientific research, systematic performance engineering techniques are still hardly used in industry, as many practitioners rely on ad-hoc performance firefighting. It is still not well understood where more sophisticated performance modeling approaches are appropriate and the maturity of the existing tools and processes can be improved. While there have been several industrial case studies on performance modeling in the last few years, more experience is needed to better understand the constraints in practice and to optimize existing tool-chains.
I gave a talk summarizing six years of performance modeling at ABB. In three projects, different approaches to performance modeling were taken, and experiences on the capabilities and limitations of existing tools were gathered. The talk reports on several lessons learned from these projects, for example the need for more efficient performance modeling and the integration of measurement and modeling tools.
Multichannel marketing (MCM) involves using multiple marketing channels, from in-person meetings to digital campaigns, to engage with customers. MCM is becoming more important in healthcare as customers access information online. To implement MCM effectively, companies should integrate channels, have a consistent global strategy, closely measure results, and continuously optimize their approach based on data. As digital marketing grows in healthcare, MCM will help companies engage customers through the most appropriate channels.
Mind the Gap, Please. Connected Products and their ContextMartin Spindler
This document discusses connected products and the importance of context.

Chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity are rapidly increasing worldwide and pose a huge burden on global health systems. They currently account for around 60% of deaths globally and this proportion is expected to rise to over 70% by 2020. The costs of treating chronic diseases are also immense - in the US, they account for over 3/4 of total healthcare spending. At the current pace, conventional medical systems will not be able to sustain the disruptive impact of chronic diseases in the next 15-20 years without alternative approaches. Homeopathy and other alternative therapies could provide more sustainable and cost-effective ways to manage chronic diseases.

Factors Affecting an Organization Externally
An organization can be affected externally by social, political, or technological. Factors that are internal lead to the success of the organization (Rad & Anantatmula, 2010). A mission sense that is clear in an organization explains its self better to the world, and positive elements can align it in each area. Leaders who can learn and communicate with an organization also externally learn from the organization and successfully communicate with it, leading to exchange ongoing ideas for both organizations to benefit and their environment. External change that is done throughout the society also brings impact to the companies, such as the sexual harassment elimination movement aims to deliver results (Rad, & Anantatmula, 2010).

This document is an undergraduate thesis that examines the pharmaceutical industry and alternative medicine. It argues that while Western medicine has improved health outcomes for some acute illnesses, the over-reliance on drugs has significant downsides. Preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the US, with pharmaceutical companies more focused on profits than patient safety. The document also suggests that several holistic doctors working on alternative cancer treatments may have been murdered to protect the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry.
