Intelligent Healthcare Scenarios

In yesterday's post, we introduced a number of core capabilities that would facilitate deployment of enterprise-wide Intelligent Healthcare solutions. In today's post, we're looking at the core problems and specific scenarios under which those capabilities might be applied.

Inter-operability is over-arching problem set behind most Healthcare related innovation

There are a number of what might be considered ‘problems’ associated with Healthcare-related data inter-operability. In this context, a “Problem Set” represents a meta-category of related aspects that together comprise all elements of a problem.

The initial problem sets for Healthcare Inter-operability are:

• Document-centric message focused integration.
• Conflicting (Healthcare-related) terminology.
• Conflicting standards and resulting implementations.
• Exclusion of free text data in traditional EHR/EMR systems.
• Lack of specific support for Healthcare practices / processes.
• Security & Data Integrity of exchange transactions.

ID	Scenario Title	Description
S01	Cross-Provider Diagnostics	Care scenarios involving more than one diagnostic participant.
S02	Cross-Provider Treatment	Care scenarios involving more than one treatment provider.
S03	Multi-Provider Care Management	This refers to situations where care is spread across many different offices / organizations, some perhaps not affiliated.
S04	Multi-National Incident Response	For epidemic, pandemic or bio-terrorism events.
S05	Group Characteristic/s Identification	Requires access to wide ranging data sources
S06	Group Pattern/s Identification	Requires analytical capabilities and access to wide range of data sources
S07	Patient Pattern/s Identification	Even at patient level, data may be required from multiple caregivers, systems
S08	Lessons-Learned Capture	At the organization, personal or regional level
S09	Lessons-Learned Dissemination	No real mechanism exists for this besides medical journals which are proprietary, costly and restricted
S10	Intra-Organizational Integration	Enterprise level integration within the caregiver organization today is costly and complicated
S11	Organizational Healthcare Reporting	Reporting requires access to all pertinent data sources
S12	Regional Healthcare Reporting	Regional reporting requires access to all pertinent data sources
S13	Cross-Organizational Research	Currently difficult due to access issues
S14	Communities of Practice Knowledge Sharing	Today this occurs through continuing education and conferences (indirectly), there is no real-time feedback mechanism
S15	Trend Visualization & Statistical Analysis	Usually requires manual support to accomplish

Healthcare Scenarios which may apply core IH capabilities
