Vaiheeksi avarakatseinen näkökulma sote-teknologian hyödyntämiseen. Healthcare’s problems are primarily social, behavioral, and economic, not technical. Most EHR-related challenges reflect these deeper issues. So, rather than continually bemoaning our EHRs, let’s focus on redesigning our care systems, streamlining our work, rightsizing our teams, and clarifying what matters most.

Last Thursday I talked about leading AI development and implementation in healthcare for the Next Generation AI Business Leaders Programme at AI Sweden. A couple of things that I lifted from our learnings over five years: 🤝 Work cross-functional with product, design, tech incl ai, clinical and regulatory competences. 🛠 Validate the biggest risks early and include value, feasibility, viability and usability risks – many you can validate without building ⌛ Think early on adoption and certification but timebox the effort before you know you have a valuable service 🔄 Work in iterations and integrate learning to adjust the aim   A final note is that with the current challenges within healthcare focus on problems and solutions that: 1️⃣ Free up time in healthcare 2️⃣ Improve patients lives 3️⃣ Improve medical outcomes (in that order👌)

As the #NHS moves rapidly to digital solutions, centred around the #NHSAPP as the single digital front door, it's important to understand the differences between solution types. Jussi Määttä thank you for a nice, simple explanation. Whilst #emeetandgreet, #patientengagementportals and #electronicpatientrecords (EPRs) are all high profile and being centrally funded, #carepathwaysolutions are fundamentally important to streamline patient care and improve #productivity whether around #perioperativecare or #longtermconditions management and #virtualwards. Even before we start talking about #AI..... So it's important to develop our digital solutions vocabulary. All this becomes even more important as we move towards a new 10 year plan for the NHS... Buddy Healthcare will be a key enabler for the #NHS to achieve #productivity and #transformation of #patientoutcomes and #patientexperience

Empowering Swedish Healthcare for a Brighter Tomorrow Sweden’s healthcare system is on the cusp of a transformative era. The Swedish Association of Health Professionals Vårdförbundet has shone a light on the need for change, revealing that 30% of healthcare workers are working part-time due to high work load. This statistic isn’t just a number—it’s a call to action to create a work environment that supports our dedicated professionals. Despite the challenges, there’s a silver lining. The resilience shown by healthcare workers under 35 is nothing short of inspiring. Their commitment to patient care, even when considering their future, underscores the passion that drives our healthcare system. Strikes and collective actions are a testament to the strength and unity of our healthcare community. They highlight the dedication of our workers to advocate for a system that allows them to give their best to patients. In the wake of Covid-19, our healthcare leaders have been navigating uncharted waters, striving to balance budgets while maintaining quality care. Their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed, and their leadership has paved the way for a new chapter in healthcare management. As we move forward, we’re seeing a renewed focus on wellbeing and job satisfaction. Initiatives are underway to reduce overbooking and ensure that every healthcare worker can provide care without the fear of burnout. Together, we’re building a future where healthcare workers are celebrated, supported, and empowered to thrive. A future where every member of our healthcare family can look forward to a fulfilling career, filled with opportunities for growth and innovation. Let’s continue to champion a healthcare system that’s not only sustainable but also a source of national pride—a system where caring for those who care for us is our utmost priority.

🫀 Could insulin resistance be a key factor in developing aortic stenosis (AS)? This post from ArchCath dives into intriguing research linking insulin resistance—a condition typically associated with diabetes—to AS, the most common heart valve disease in Western countries. The study not only expands our understanding of AS but also challenges the traditional view of it as solely a degenerative condition. 💡 Why it’s important: These findings highlight the potential of targeting insulin resistance through lifestyle changes and early interventions to prevent AS progression. It’s a thought-provoking shift that emphasizes the need to consider broader metabolic factors in heart health. 🔗 Explore ArchCath’s post below to learn more about how this research is shaping the future of cardiovascular care. #AorticStenosis #InsulinResistance #HeartHealth #CardiovascularInnovation #ArchCath

There is extensive research on the relation between literacy and behaviour in the health domain. Access has by far, the largest effect! Following my LinkedIn feed with awesome content from NEXT Pharma Summit I can clearly see that the topic of Next-Best-Action and change management did come up a lot. Henriette Lonkvist from Ferring Pharmaceuticals explained it in a presentation. Carolina Quezada Correa and Nick Lagan from Grünenthal Group brought the topic in their presentation. Laetitia Bouerat Duvold from Lundbeck, Kate Bradford from Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Maja Galic from Teva Pharmaceuticals, David Logue from Aktana, and Steve Royle from My Medical Affairs brought it up in the panel talk. Monika Mortensen from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Tamara Krcmar from Servier, Rodney B. Smith from Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH, and Duncan Trew from Novartis discussed the manner of change management in their panel discussion. As Katy Curran, Medical Impact Lead at UCB mentioned in a recent LinkedIn post, "Changing behaviours… 🧐... it’s our ‘business’ in Medical Affairs as we seek to drive improved outcomes for people living with disorders or disease." Jenn Richler, Chief Editor at Nature Portfolio pointed out in a recent post that we have amassed an impressive toolkit of behaviour change interventions to support well-informed policy decisions. However, are we - BEST - using it? The connection between the goals of Medical Affairs, change management, upskilling, and next-best-action solutions lies in the shared pursuit of continuous improvement in healthcare outcomes. Each of these elements plays a critical role in fostering innovation, driving positive change: 1. Change Management: Embracing and effectively managing change within Medical Affairs is crucial for staying ahead of evolving healthcare trends and addressing new challenges in patient care. 2. Upskilling: Investing in upskilling ensures Medical Affairs teams are well-equipped with the latest knowledge and practices, driving improved patient care and outcomes. 3. Next-best-action solutions: Implementing data-driven, context-sensitive decision-making tools helps Medical Affairs make well-informed choices and take the most appropriate actions to support positive health outcomes. By integrating these elements, we can create a dynamic, forward-thinking environment that empowers HCPs to deliver the best possible care. ZS's European Oncology CX Tracker study shows that only one-third of an oncologist’s experience is driven “by the pill,” meaning that engaging customers in the right way is critical to shape the customer’s experience and create differentiation. I will echo the point that Paul Tunnah made: "Technology is always an enabler, never a solution on its own. People solve problems!" #nextpharmasummit #pharmaceuticals #pharmamarketing #medicalaffairs #aiinhealthcare

A Conversation with The Social Media Professor Måna Care AB’s start-up journey continues to energize us as we achieve milestones to bring the Måna platform into the world. During this journey, we have been fortunate to meet great people who have become advocates for our Måna platform. One of these advocates is Dr. Niklas Myhr, a Marketing Professor at Chapman University also known as “The Social Media Professor.” Niklas has been following Måna Care’s progress and uses our platform to reinforce an emerging trend within Social Media. This new trend focuses on extending Social Media to unlock isolated segments of our society such as the elderly, cognitively challenged, and disadvantaged communities. Inclusion and simplified access to Social Media for these communities stimulates and improves their sense of well-being. Today, we are introducing a fifteen-episode series that focus on our conversation with Niklas Myhr as he asks questions that sheds light on why Måna Care AB was started, insights on choices made to shape our company, the journey to deliver Måna, insights into its capabilities, and what the future holds. Our intention is to provide an episode(s) once per week over the next 12 to 15 weeks. Today’s Episode #1: Introduction Måna Care AB https://lnkd.in/gQK-ZAA5 Our hope is that each episode provides valuable insight into our Måna Care AB journey and inspires others to explore or start their own new journey.
