Impact of empowerment of onco-hematological patients on the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections Patients with hematologic malignancies and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (HSCT) are at high risk of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Global actions have encouraged patient empowerment as a strategy to reduce these infections. We aim to evaluate the impact of patient empowerment in reducing the incidence density (ID) of CLABSI.

Research shows that educating and empowering patients can improve central line care practices. This highlights how a multi-pronged approach, from data-driven alerts to patient partnership, is crucial for preventing infections. #PraediAlert #PatientCare #DataDrivenHealthcare

Back to Reality There is no doubt that health minister Esperance Luvindao is passionate about integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into public healthcare. And that is commendable. Over the past three months, she has championed the use of AI in health facilities and ambulances, creating a picture of a more efficient, data-driven health system. While such a vision is inspiring, it must not come at the expense of addressing the basics. There is limited value in promoting AI ambulances while patients wait in long queues, struggle to find basic medication, or are forced to buy their own medicines. While leaping into the future, the foundations of the present must be secured. AI should enhance healthcare – not distract from fixing what is already broken. And the truth is, the health system is on its knees. The post Back to Reality appeared first on The Namibian.

5/ Goodhart’s Law explains why quality metrics fail:

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

This is a key flaw in #DataDrivenHealthcare.

How do we integrate patient/citizen voices as dynamic, real-time data streams, moving beyond retrospective anecdotes to drive more relevant health decisions? #HealthTech #PatientCentricity #DataDrivenHealthcare
