“Until the beginning of this century, new technologies were immediately available to doctors However, the last couple of years, the increased emphasis on safety and quality has put a big focus on certifications and protocols Currently, we are gradually transitioning to collaboration with transparency towards each other Hereby, I also say that data must be transparent and at the same time provide integrity”
Creating patient value
To the question ‘how can CatalyzIT contribute to VBHC implementation?’, Dr Speijer replied ::“What we are doing now, working together more efficiently, creating patient value ( is simply a matter of being a doctor With the available resources, we are obliged to deliver the best care possible in a confidential manner Besides my personal knowledge and experience, I soon hope to achieve knowledge cross domain ”In essence, it is all about the connectivity with the patient and connectivity to retrieve expertise in the healthcare landscape, which are both missing We need to take the lead in technology and information/data “Communication with a patient must be considered as highly valuable Only by interpreting together we’ll get insight in the complete health situation By making allowance for the patient’s perception and important signals around his or her disease process by listening carefully, we’ll be producing valuable data real time visualised and stored sustainably CatalyzIT aims at guaranteeing the integrity of healthcare information and breaking through the silos Once the blind spot has been removed, insights across domains can enable new breakthroughs in medicine ..“By enabling unlimited interdisciplinary collaboration, disciplines can be linked together that we have never seen before” CatalyzIT core business is to create this mindset for cross domain thinking and acting.
Personal ECD necessary
“We should start our data collection at the beginning of life, not when someone becomes ill To do so, every person needs to get his/her personal EHR, to which different disciplines could get access if information needs to be added (from district nurses to medical experts). “Everything that becomes available to the right person, helps you to process it exceedingly”
Role of other stakeholders
To get the message and implementation of data integrity and sharing across, other stakeholders in the healthcare landscape also must play their part “Of course we should use the knowledge of the industry But the insights of the medical experts, to develop new technologies are leading The issue is however, as of now we cannot manage to arrange data curation We need to know if a patients’ healthcare information is available, who provided it, who changed it and cross domain check on it.
Doctor specifies technology
Every doctor should be able to specify technology in the clinical process The idea of preferred partnership hinders the development of a safe health and care landscape And even more with AI and ML being applied in our sector The medical and technical world need each other and should be aware to work beyond each other’s biases To keep on track for suitable developments you need a dynamic multidisciplinary team that continuously add their expertise to these developments and thereby value to healt.
Data integrity and AI
As mentioned before, to make progress, steps need to be taken in terms of collaboration (incl data sharing) and looking at data curation (incl data integrity) Dr Speijer continues with: “There are two things I would like to highlight here Firstly, AI technology and data must be assessed separately, because when technology does not suffice, it becomes dangerous The data must be extractable from the technology, to be able to continuously adapt and improve with the high speed of technology development Secondly, we need to be cautious with creating platforms As long as the foundations are not properly organized, platforms could even create additional silos, which could give a big administrative burde.
Doctors as value curators
“Creating knowledge on data is crucial Take the lead, stand up, and tune in to the specific patient experience As a doctor, you are a direct contact in a large network around and with the patient To be able to do this optimally, you must ensure that the entire multidisciplinary team, can also tune in at the right moment Creating knowledge on data is crucial in the cure and care For good healthcare we need each other.
