Correlation between Health Practices
and Technological Advancement
Explore the technology systems offered by Nanthealth, a provider of “telehealth”
and health management services via the following link:
Prepare a brief (8-10 slides) PowerPoint presentation in which you do the
following:
1.) Identify at least two technology innovations to connect patients, providers, and
insurers across the care continuum.
2.) Describe how the technologies work to provide patients and providers with data
necessary for health care decision making.
3.)Discuss how the real-time data encourages outcome-focused planning.
4.) Predict what impact the technology will have on future health care delivery.
Provide rationale and examples.
Technological Innovations connecting
patients, with physicians and medical cover
providers
Eviti Connect
Applied by approximately 6,
000 oncology practices across
the nation
Aligns patient priorities with
those of the physicians and
payors
Offers three applications:
Eviti Advisor
Eviti Advisor Enterprise’
Eviti Connect
GPS Cancer
Facilitates sequencing of the
entire transcriptome (RNA)
Offers quantitative
measurement of gene
expression
Identification of gene
fusions, hence genomic
translocations (NantHealth,
2016)
Eviti Functionality to provide necessary
data for health and decision making
Eviti Advisor:-
Provides high-quality and
personalized care
Access to comprehensive
treatment options
Facilitates the exportation of
treatment protocols to the
EHR
Eviti Advisor Enterprise:-
Facilitates the identification of
the clinical trials provided at a
specific facility
Boosts the providers’ ability
to rapidly identify treatment
options
Enables prescription to quality
care (NantHealth, 2016)
Eviti Connect:-
Outlines various health plans
Enhances the process of claiming
efficiency
Minimizes appeals denial
Issues an ‘eviti code’ upon
selection of suitable regimen
(NantHealth, 2016)
Validates viable options
treatment and pre-adjudication of
claims
GPS Cancer Functionality
Updates the oncologist with sufficient information
Facilitates the development of personalized treatment
options
Compares the genome of an individual’s tumor to that of a
healthy one
Provides physicians with the results obtained from GPS
cancer tests
Prepares comprehensive reports through the GPS Cancer
Genome Browser
Grants oncologists a platform that allows them to determine
and treat specific tumors (NantHealth, 2018)
The integration of whole genome (DNA) and RNA sequencing to
provide quantitative proteomics (NantHealth, 2018)
Planning based on outcomes and
Real-time data
Eviti Connect encourages outcome-focused planning by:-
Providing prompt responses to different health concerns
Enhancing better care transitions and coordination of care
Facilitating the improvement of monitoring clinical status
and early intervention
The reduction and prevention of hospitalization and
readmissions for elderly patients (El-Miedany, 2017)
Planning based on outcomes and
Real-time data
GPS Cancers encourages outcome-focused planning
based on real-time data by:-
Providing rapid feedback to the various health
concerns
Offering comprehensive and precise molecular profile
Providing oncologists with unprecedented insight
regarding a cancer patient’s molecular signature
(NantHealth, 2018)
Prediction of the Technologies’ future
impact on the delivery of Health Care
Eviti Connect
GPS Cancer
Ensuring effective networking
and interaction
boosting external
interoperability (El-Miedany,
2017)
Provision of a variety of
evidence-based options suitable
for patients
Outline health plan benefits,
information costs, and
treatment regimens available
Facilitate the elimination of
inappropriate remedies
Eliminate misinterpretation of
inherited mutations
Test tumors from specific
patients.
Incorporates the opinions of
the patients
Informs them on the viable
options and potential patient
outcomes.
