<p>In general, I think that good data is a good thing. But is bad data of any use, and is it better than no data at all?</p>
<p>In our lives as healthcare providers, we encounter enormous amounts of data. All day long we are brushed by and inundated with data points, be they individual things like the number of patients on our schedules, or the number of times our patients&#8217; hearts beat as we lay our fingers gently on the wrist to measure their pulses, or listen with our stethoscope to the number of breaths per minute.</p>
<p>Our inboxes and the electronic health record are filled with data, labs that indicate health or illness, or variations about the mean. Is this one dangerous? Is that one bad? Do I need to do something about this? Is this just a fluke?</p>
<p>Due to some internal restructuring, there are an enormous number of new efforts being built or overhauled that look at quality &#8212; since this reflects on patient safety &#8212; and also for the purpose of regulatory requirements and reporting.</p>
<p>At one meeting this week, we saw data on patient feedback on how our practices are doing, including such items as &#8220;Provider listens carefully to you,&#8221; &#8220;Clerk treats you with courtesy and respect,&#8221; and &#8220;Phone during office hours answers same day.&#8221; (Really, same day? Shouldn&#8217;t the goal be one ring or two?) <a href="https://www.medpagetoday.com/PatientCenteredMedicalHome/PatientCenteredMedicalHome/68663" target="_blank">full article</a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Atul Gawande, <strong><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/23/the-heroism-of-incremental-care" target="_blank">The New Yorker</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">By 2010, <strong>Bill Haynes</strong> had spent almost four decades under attack from the inside of his skull. He was fifty-seven years old, and he suffered from severe migraines that felt as if a drill were working behind his eyes, across his forehead, and down the back of his head and neck. They left him nauseated, causing him to vomit every half hour for up to eighteen hours. He’d spend a day and a half in bed, and then another day stumbling through sentences. The pain would gradually subside, but often not entirely. And after a few days a new attack would begin.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Haynes (I’ve changed his name, at his request) had his first migraine at the age of nineteen. It came on suddenly, while he was driving. He pulled over, opened the door, and threw up in someone’s yard. At first, the attacks were infrequent and lasted only a few hours. But by the time he was thirty, married, and working in construction management in London, where his family was from, they were coming weekly, usually on the weekends. A few years later, he began to get the attacks at work as well. <strong><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/23/the-heroism-of-incremental-care" target="_blank">full article</a></strong></p>

<p>They&#8217;re creating Word Clouds &#8211; and they say the practice is valuable for them, too, because it helps them forge their own bonds with patients.</p>
<p>Staff members in the ICU of St. Joseph&#8217;s Healthcare in Hamilton, Ontario say the process is an economical way to alleviate a stressful time. They have incorporated Word Cloud creation into regular practice and recently studied its impact.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was surprisingly meaningful,&#8221; said Dr. Meredith Vanstone, an assistant professor of family medicine at McMaster University. She and her colleagues interviewed 37 relatives and 73 healthcare providers of 42 dying patients who were Word Cloud subjects. <em><strong><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2016/12/27/word-clouds-comfort-families-and-doctors-dying-patients.html?utm_content=buffer7a39c&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer" target="_blank">continua a leggere</a></strong></em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Prendiamo l’ascensore, scendiamo al piano -2 dell’ospedale e lì troviamo il mondo di vetrini dell’anatomo-patologo, tanto centrale nella diagnosi e nel follow up del paziente oncologico, quanto spesso invisibile.</em><span id="more-3917"></span></p>
<p>E’ la bella immagine che ci restituisce <strong>Marco Campione</strong>, Presidente e Amministratore Delegato di GE Healthcare Italia e dei Paesi del Sud Europa. Il 95% dei casi di tumore, ricorda Campione, è legato ad un’indagine anatomo-patologica, un mondo per ora ancora prevalentemente analogico, caratterizzato da microscopio, vetrini e condivisione postale delle informazioni, quando ci si riesce.</p>
<p>Per quasi 10 anni <strong>l’Università di Pittsburgh</strong> e <strong>GE Healthcare</strong> hanno studiato le modalità migliori di digitalizzazione del lavoro dell’anatomo-patologo, coinvolgendo 30 patologi e 13 centri di eccellenza in tutto il mondo, ma anche specialisti dell’interazione uomo-macchina. Da questa partnership nasce <strong><a href="http://www.omnyx.com/">OMNYX</a></strong>, un progetto di <em><strong>digital pathology</strong></em> che utilizza un’apparecchiatura simile a uno scanner per  tradurre i vetrini in immagini digitali, che si guardano in un monitor e non al microscopio. Le immagini ad alta risoluzione possono essere esplorate con software ad hoc, ma anche condivise facilmente. In passato, per confrontarsi o ottenere una seconda opinione il patologo doveva spedire i vetrini con i campioni biologici, con tempi lunghi e rischi di danneggiamento.</p>
<p>Come racconta <strong>Giuseppe Cogliandro</strong>, General Manager per l’Healthcare IT di GE Healthcare,  la progettazione ha tenuto conto degli aspetti medico-scientifici, ma anche delle tecniche del corpo del patologo. Per chi è abituato a guardare in basso, nel microscopio, il guardare in alto nel monitor rappresenta già una discontinuità significativa. Per rendere più facile il passaggio, è stato allora introdotto un joystick che consente al patologo di conservare la postura e il movimento delle mani identici al passato. Sono aspetti di <em>design technology</em> che spesso vengono sottovalutati e che invece possono rappresentare punti di forza fondamentali per il successo di una tecnologia.</p>
<p>OMNYX ha un impatto non solo sull’efficacia e l’appropriatezza della pratica medica ma anche sul vissuto e l’<em>empowerment</em> del paziente. Nel modo dei vetrini,  l’analisi anatomo-patologica arrivava al paziente come un ‘verdetto’ di vita o di morte, sintetizzato dalle due parole simbolo del responso ‘benigno’ vs ‘maligno’. Nel processo analogico si perdeva la valenza interpretativa e probabilistica dell’indagine che diventava per i pazienti una sentenza senza appello, vista anche la difficoltà concreta di una seconda opinione e di un lavoro di team. Come dice Marco Campione, l’ambizione di OMNYX non è solo quella di digitalizzare il mondo della patologia, ma di spostare l’anatomo-patologo dal piano -2 dell’ospedale, al +2, di integrarlo nel team di cura,  di proiettarlo in un network internazionale di specialisti, capaci di confrontarsi <em>real time</em> per diagnosi e follow up più veloci e più accurati. Se esce dall’isolamento analogico, l’anatomo-patologo può facilitare un approccio sistemico e personalizzato in oncologia.<br />
OMNYX non rappresenta infatti solo una soluzione tecnologica, ha l’obiettivo di creare un network di professionisti e di dati. OMNYX valorizza al tempo stesso:  l’esperienza clinica specifica del singolo patologo, l’accessibilità di grandi banche dati, software sofisticati di analisi.</p>
<p>Il recente accordo tra GE Healthcare e la rete di laboratori <a href="http://www.aboutpharma.com/blog/2015/06/22/nasce-network-ue-di-patologia-digitale-per-una-diagnostica-piu-rapida-e-precisa/">LABCO</a> offre un contributo immediato e operativo all’integrazione e alla costruzione del network in patologia. Inizialmente il network coinvolgerà circa 50 patologi in Spagna e 15 nel Regno Unito, ognuno fortemente  specializzato nel proprio campo clinico. Il progetto è di creare a breve una rete di tutti i laboratori presenti in  Europa, con l’obiettivo di arrivare a collegare tutti i patologi del network di LABCO, che coinvolge  oltre 25 milioni di pazienti ogni anno in Spagna, Regno Unito, Francia, Belgio, Portogallo, Svizzera e anche Italia.</p>
<p>In un futuro prossimo, la patologia digitale contribuirà forse al superamento della  dicotomia oracolare benigno-maligno, favorendo la consapevolezza che il tumore si può sempre di più curare.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Accade molto spesso che <strong>pazienti e caregivers</strong> sentano l’esigenza di scambiarsi opinioni o condividano le esperienze. In questo senso, il web offre numerosi spazi come forum, chat e gli stessi <strong>social network</strong>. Tra questi ultimi, grazie alla sua natura di canale interattivo, alla possibilità di comunicare in tempo reale e all&#8217;ampio grado di disseminazione degli argomenti, <strong>Twitter</strong> sta diventando un importante mezzo di confronto in ambito <strong>salute</strong>. La sua immediatezza favorisce<strong> </strong>molto l’uso da parte dei pazienti rendendolo una fonte preziosa d’informazioni sui loro bisogni e, più in generale, sulle dinamiche che si sviluppano attorno a una patologia. <a href="http://www.upvalue.it/news/luso-di-twitter-nellhealthcare-non-solo-comunicazione-ma-anche-ascolto-del-pubblico/" target="_blank">continua a leggere</a></p>
