@Ahmad91851495 #Ahmad91851495 This is quite shocking to see this practice of dumping pesticides in these rural locations, especially in the modern day when we are more aware of the harmful effects they present.

This article that summarizes 6 US health care trends, where we are currently headed, and provides links for further investigation should you be interested. I personally found the section about the evolution of smart health care most interesting #PBH710

@ahmedsi2 Thank you Sirajuddin for your post about AGS's work to expand the US's capabilities to coordinate care for geriatrics. There is a lot here about the various legislation AGS plans to present or their analysis of current policies. @crlevy13 is ASG a well known organization? #PBH710

This is an interesting article about the use of AI to turn health care from reactive to more continuous coverage. This use of technology could tie in with this week's lecture about integrating computer systems across multiple hospitals #PBH710

[Niko Karkantis @karkantis]

@Sreedevi_dp This is an interesting take on providing health care quickly. However, will this be a live conversation with health care providers? If not, if it is an automated process like WebMD, I fear that we will run into the same problems #PBH710

I found this Q&A interesting as it demonstrates the effectiveness of large-scale data gathering and how it can be used with EHRs to shift the focus of health care providers to more "patient centered" #PBH710

@SatyaSr15520203 @Maya_MK7 Hi Satya. While you're correct that all things carry some inherent risk, the risk associated with EHR is the potential leaking of very confidential information for hundreds of thousands of patient. Does this risk outweigh the pros of EHR? With more secure systems, I personally do

While this week's topic focuses on the exorbitant costs and spending of health care in the US, this article by the NY Times from March 2018 shows that the US is actually quite similar to its peers in many categories of health care

@ewilbur9 @ewilbur Thank you for sharing this article on PCMH! The BlueCross Blue Shield Medical Home certainly makes it appear that PCMH's will certaintly help improve the US healthcare system

[Niko Karkantis @karkantis]

https://t.co/ea02TvD9PY this article, while focusing on Advanced Care, shows the value in the use of electronic medical records and electronic medical systems

[Niko Karkantis @karkantis]

The above medical journal article from 2014 I believe helps put into perspective where we are in current day healthcare with the implementation of electronic medical records. We have certainly come along, but there is still much to fix

@ChrissyGolabski That was a pretty interesting quick read. I knew that we used screens a lot, but the average of 10 hours a day was shocking. #PBH710 To decrease increasing rates of near-sightedness, are there policies that we can introduce to reduce screen-time?

I found this article interesting as it shows MA's leading efforts to improve the pathways to healthcare by providing more transparency about ACOs and how they operate in today's system. #PBH710

[Niko Karkantis @karkantis]

@ChittarikkalB Thank you for the video about HiAP! It was a great addition to what Dr. @crlevy13 has provided us this week. I particularly enjoyed the description of the characteristics, especially in more of a "modern' day setting with the direction of current day policies

[Niko Karkantis @karkantis]

#PBH710 https://t.co/S5JMSgwvIx and https://t.co/ECfKsBjnba Both of these articles show the data and analytics that go behind analyzing the effectiveness of the Medicaid within an individual states's boundaries.

[Niko Karkantis @karkantis]

#PBH710 Not to belabor the ACA any further, however this news article from the Washington post regarding Virginia's decision to expand their Medicaid to include 400,000 more low-income citizens is great news! https://t.co/sO6JEzb2Dj

@ShanWir710 Hi Shannon! Thank you for posting the NY Times article. The point made about the spending of the Agriculture Department, over $100B, versus the CDC total budget of $12B, starkly demonstrated the need for greater funding and focus on public health
