"Data privacy and
security is a routine part of healthcare operations and is part of the
planning and implementation process for predictive analytics
initiatives, as with any other activity. Exchanges of data with third
parties merit additional attention and sometimes require encrypting or
masking of identifying information and specific data elements, beyond
the standard encryption of transmissions. One of the greatest challenges
involves state regulations concerning authorizations required for using
regional health information exchanges. Current regulations and
implementations in our region require written authorizations from
patients to use and access HIE data, with usage not being covered by the
HIPAA treatment, payment and healthcare operations exemption. Because of
the cost of acquiring individual written authorizations, HIE data are
largely excluded from population-level analytics in our region.” Howard

A retrospective cohort study assessing the
impact of pharmacist-led, face-to-face counseling in new-to-therapy
statin patients found that compared to usual pharmacy care, those
patients receiving face-to-face counseling had 7.2% higher adherence.
The persistence for the intervention was nearly eight days longer than
that of the control group. Excerpted from: Predictive Modeling News, Volume 6, Number 6, Industry News: Walgreens Discusses Community Pharmacy Program Success in Improving Patient Medication Adherence |
