Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 049
This study found that women with higher BMI (> 25) were at an increased risk for medication failure (OR 3.60). The authors recommend that women with higher BMIs should be offered copper IUDs (not realistic in most EDs). Alternatively, some agents are more effective and may be viable options.

Defining Digital Health, the Tsunami That Is Overtaking the Current Model
A recent article about Denver's digital health boom caused me to ponder about some of the implications of the digital health mania that's coming down the road and how it will affect our current health care model (see:Denver ’s Digital Health Boom). Below is an excerpt from it:Medical care is no longer confined to the doctor ’s office. Or even, sometimes, to an actual doctor. That iPhone in your pocket now has the capability to diagnose your cough, answer insurance questions, and get you pregnant …or at least help the process along. Digital health (think: smartphones, social networks, and internet applic...

Vital Signs: A Call To Action On Core Metrics
This report provides an important road map for aligning the measures that we use with the population- and systems-based approaches that characterize the health care system today. States have particular opportunity for leveraging the results of this report, as almost every aspect of health care involves state decision making in some way — from payment and contracting to medical education and staffing. I believe that states will be able to use this report to good ends. Part of what makes this report powerful is its emphasis on parsimony and on comparability in measurement. These factors are particularly important for b...

ConclusionsThis review provides a (1) comprehensive data map for PPH for obesity in Queensland and (2) globally translatable framework to identify, collate and appraise primary data sources to advance PPH for obesity and other noncommunicable diseases. Significant challenges must be addressed to achieve PPH, including: using designed and organic data harmoniously, digital infrastructure for high-quality organic data, and the ethical and social implications of using consumer-centred health data to improve public health.Note: Found the #myHR not much use-----https://au.hudson.com/jobview/aps-6-complex-services-manager/e596db...

Can Health Sensors Help Prevent A Coronavirus Infection?
It has almost become a meme to state that your smartphone is more powerful than the computer aboard Apollo 11 that helped men land on the Moon. In fact, your phone probably boasts over 100,000 times the processing power of that computer. Now, even laptop chargers claim to be more powerful than Apollo 11’s computer… The computer in your pocket or on your wall socket will not land you on the Moon any time soon, but these comparisons do help put technological progress into perspective. Considering that an Apple Watch can detect life-threatening conditions like atrial fibrillation, while a Fitbit could detect a woma...

Will Trump, Congressional Infections Boost Innovations For Covid-19 Survivors?
By MICHAEL MILLENSON When powerful politicians confront a life-threatening diagnosis, it can change policy priorities.  In addition to President Trump and a slew of top aides, five U.S. senators and 15 members of the House of Representatives have now tested positive or been presumed positive in tests for Covid-19 as of Oct. 5, according to a running tally by National Public Radio (NPR). In that light, the recent burst of coronavirus infections could accelerate three significant innovations affecting every Covid-19 survivor. 1) Post-Covid Clinics Even seemingly mild encounters with the coronavirus can tr...

The Strategic Challenge Of Electronic Health Records
Despite a 2005 prediction that electronic health records (EHRs) would save $81 billion, RAND Corporation just validated clinicians’ complaints in a report describing EHRs as “a unique and vexing challenge to physician professional satisfaction.” The American Medical Association also published EHR “usability priorities” – strong evidence that current EHRs don’t support doctors in practicing medicine. In a world of Apple-typified simplicity, why is it so hard to get the right EHR? Because, unlike Apple, EHR designers haven’t started with the question of how value can be created for users of the technology. Te...

Electronic Health Records: Yesterday’s Ebola and Today’s Zika
By SHIRA FISCHER When I showed up at the obstetrical urgent care unit at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the care I received was swift and appropriate. I saw a nurse quickly and a doctor soon after. They asked relevant questions and immediately put a plan for further evaluation in place. Only then did the nurse turn to the computer to enter everything into the electronic record. As she worked her way through the required documentation, she asked several more questions. Any allergies that weren’t already in the system? Surgeries she should note? And, of course, importantly, had I been to an Ebola-infected country recently...
