First draft on the MD
~ RX system we've discussed. About 60 days (or less) I could
have a "PHASE ONE" operating. It would be a little
rough around the edges, but functional.
1. I would want the MD to
design the medial intake form sections, the C. Ped to do the
foot / fitting area, and I could do the billing area. After collecting
this data, 1 day to build the input apps on the web.
2. Then, the data mine: Each
patient would have a patient number assigned that would indicate
the C Ped. and maybe last 4 of the pat's SSAN. This would stop
others from seeing data for someone else's patient once they
got past the firewall, and make it easy for me to "channel"
the C Ped's data for reporting and analysis.
3. The MD's data would be
based on Pat's that he is the attending physician for (regardless
of the C Ped or RPH), and they would be able to review all their
patients, and analyses results and run reports
4. the C Ped, Therapist and
MD would be able to send updates to the patient medical history
, protocol and SOAP (HSP ?) This area would become the actual
data mine and enable centralized processing of patient's continuum
of care, as well as future analysis
5. The patient would be able
to review their own case history, link to the care partners,
and proceed to ordering modules (RX, RETAIL, SELECT MERCHANDISE).
because they go thru a firewall, we know the "who"
and that makes all subsequent processing simpler.
6. When servicing the patient,
the therapist or C. Ped would collect data, identify trouble
areas, shoot the video, snap pictures of the trouble areas, record
information about their assessment, then go to the web, go into
a secure area for downloading data, send the required data, and
indicate if they need professional assistance before proceeding
or if the data is just for processing and archive. If they need
a C Ped or the MD to respond before their next patient visit,
a HIGH-PRIORITY message is sent to the professional. They would
review the data and respond, giving the therapist instructions
on how to proceed.
7. And electronic SOAP NOTE
would be utilized for each member of the continuum team to update
the patient's personal data channel.
8. Authorized staff would
be able to access the patients data channel, for clinical review,
notations and correspondence with other professionals involved
with the patient's continuum of care, as well as the patient
" Betty, I notice that you are recording very high blood
sugar levels every SAT morning . . . what are you doing FRI night
? Painting the town red ? Eating too many Cannollie's ?"
9. Subsequent modules would
afford product orders: food, medical supplies, Rx's, scheduling
of appointments, 3rd party billings, Channel analysis (disease
state management), data mine analysis "data mine disease
management).
10. Everything - absolutely
everything would be secure, and HHS compliant. The site would
have layered firewall protection. Patients can't see professionals
data, Rx A couldn't see Rx B's patient data, MD A couldn't see
MD B's data, etc. Only select participants would have complete
data availability (senior system staff, key physicians, senior
therapists and coordinating C Ped's and RPH / PharmD's)
The build of PHASE ONE would
be relatively inexpensive, maybe $5k. The "WHOLE BALL OF
WAX" for a limited geographical area could be 5 times that
much, and a national product would likely be in the ballpark
of $75 to $125k. Pretty fast figures, but then, I've been doing
health care data processing since 1984 . . . . my first nationwide
remote data processing was 1986, with offices in Texas linked
to offices in Greensburg. I know some things about real-world
costs to develop a state-of-the-art national systems (MOBIL Nurse©,
which I own when I bought the other company was mostly my design
work. They went the wrong way, with proprietary infrastructure,
I wanted to do it on the web, I left, and started my ISP, they
went broke, and I bought the company . . . . thanks Tom!)
This is the "real simple
explanation" . Please also see the flowchart.
You may share this with people
that you trust. Good Luck in the presentation.
