Picking up doctors online

For most people, picking a doctor is hardly a scientific process. They ask friends or family members to pass along names of doctors they like and trust, or rely on another doctor's referral.

Increasingly, health plans and independent groups are making physician information available online to help consumers make these choices more methodically. But experts caution that most doctor-rating systems are still rudimentary, and a four-star rating or other high-performance designation may not reliably reflect a doctor's abilities. While ratings can provide helpful information, consumers still need to dig a little to find the best doctors for their needs.

More From This Series:Insuring Your Health

The systems provided by some health plans to rate doctors are typically based on two factors: cost and quality. Data that measure the quality of care -- whether a diabetic gets regular blood-sugar tests or foot exams, for example -- are not as easy to translate to the level of individual doctors but cost is, so cost tends to be the bigger factor.

"Often insurers will do a two-step process," says Ha Tu, a senior health researcher at the Center for Studying Health System Change, a nonpartisan research and policy organization based in Washington. First, they "make sure doctors meet a quality threshold, but not a very high one. Then they'll weed them out further based on cost."

Complicating the situation for consumers is the fact that every insurer measures these variables differently, and there are no agreed-upon standards for which combination of attributes makes a top-notch doctor. In fact, a physician who receives a top rating from one insurer may receive a middling or even low score from another, says Elizabeth McGlynn, associate director at Rand Health, a division of Rand, a think tank based in Santa Monica, Calif.

It's no surprise then that doctors are resistant to many insurer efforts to rate physicians. In a recent letter to 47 health plans, the American Medical Association and 46 state medical societies asked the plans to improve the accuracy, reliability and transparency of physician ratings. To support this call for change, the letter pointed to research by Rand that examined physician cost profiles and found that health-plan ratings were inaccurate up to two-thirds of the time.

Although rating systems may have problems, experts agree their use is only going to rise. As insurers and employers try to hold down health-care costs, steering patients toward doctors and other providers who provide the best care for the money is an important priority. Increasingly, employers are trying to provide employees with financial incentives to use doctors in so-called high-performance networks, says Karen Frost, health and welfare outsourcing practice leader for benefits consultant Hewitt Associates.

While insurers and physicians battle it out, consumers are left feeling confused. As Chris Worthington of Rock Hill, N.Y., learned, sometimes a high-performance rating may not even have much to do with patient care. When the 45-year-old middle school teacher was trying to research doctors on her health plan's Web site, she learned that a four-star rating was based on whether a doctor used electronic medical records.

"I think they have the information there that's most important to the insurance company, not the consumer," she says.

Some of the measures that matter most to consumers aren't included in many rating systems, experts say. They include doctors' interpersonal skills and other concerns such as: Do the doctors spend enough time with patients and answer their questions? Do they stay on schedule or do patients have long waits?

"These are some of the best predictors of patient satisfaction, and even outcomes," says McGlynn, noting that no matter how clinically competent a doctor is, a patient's health won't improve if he doesn't understand how to take the prescribed medication.

Consumers sometimes turn to independent sites to get a glimpse of what a particular doctor might be like. The sites -- such as HealthGrades, RateMDs.com and Angie's List -- differ in some respects: They may or may not permit anonymous comments, for example, or charge a fee. But they all provide a forum for people to learn what other consumers have to say about specific physicians.

Since moving to Indianapolis, Dan Tuten has used Angie's List to help find four doctors. The 69-year-old retired software engineer says it takes a while to learn how to extract useful information. "These are just regular folks commenting, and you tend to see a lot of 'A' ratings," he says. But Tuten says he wouldn't trust an insurance company rating. "My impression is they steer you to a doctor because they're the least expensive," he says.

In trying to research doctors, Tuten and Worthington are in the minority of consumers. Most people don't do any research, suggesting that health-plan rating sites may face a difficult task getting consumers to use them. In a 2008 survey by researchers at the Center for Studying Health System Change, half of the respondents said they relied on friends or relatives to choose a primary-care physician. Nearly 40 percent turned to a doctor or other health-care provider. Only a little over a third used information from their health plan.

"Picking a physician is a very personal choice, and often you rely on people you know," says study lead author Tu. "It's not necessarily true that the

Health and medical hospitals.

The area of health care is no longer contained between the four corners of health and medical institutions and hospitals. Health and clinical issues as well as patient management are now more accessible even as persons are not physically present for treatment, monitoring and check-up. This has become possible with telehealth as well as telemedicine and home patient monitoring technologies that promise to deliver great results and more efficiency in terms of health care.

The Wonder of Telehealth and Telemedicine

Telemedicine is a branch of clinical medicine that caters to the transfer of medical information through interactive audiovisual media for purposes of consultation and remote medical procedures. Telehealth on the other hand functions similarly with telemedicine as it has been referred to as the delivery of health-related information and services with the use of telecommunication technologies. However, while telemedicine focuses on the curative aspect the role of telehealth encompasses preventive and promotional aspects in addition to curative aspects.

A Peek at Functions/Roles of Telehealth Technologies

Just some of the clinical uses of telehealth technologies are as follows:

• Transmission of medical images for diagnosis (also referred as store and forward telehealth
• Exchange of health services or education through videoconferencing (i.e. real time telehealth)
• Transmission of medical data for diagnosis or disease monitoring ( also known as remote monitoring)
• Prevention of disease and promotion of good health through advice
• Health advice through telephone or also known as teletriage

While on the other hand some of the non-clinical uses of telehealth technologies include the following:

• Distance education most specifically medical and patient education
• Administrative uses such as during telehealth networks and presentations
• Telehealth research
• Overall health care system management
• Patient movement and remote admission

Home patient monitoring technologies: How It has changed Patient Care Forever

Telehealth and telemedicine flourished in America at around the later part of the 1980’s and since then has continuously evolved to cover wide areas towards better patient management and in absencia care. Its demand is on full swing in recent years especially among home care agencies, disease management companies and clinical trial groups. Just some of the catalysts and home patient monitoring technologies available in today include:

• Low energy Bluetooth
• Near field communication (NFC)
• Body area networks
• Mobile to machine communication networks
• Secure data management
• Bed sensor panel integrating ultra wideband radar
• Wireless sensor platforms

This has been made even possible through the participation of leading market giants such as GE, IBM, Microsoft, Philips and Siemens.

Analysts noted that commercialization has shifted the delivery of health care from a hospital centric to a patient centric approach. They have also observed that there is a gradual increase of telehealth and remote patient monitoring products not only in the US, Europe and Japan but also in emerging markets such as China, India and South Asian countries. This has become more possible because of available government funding as well as from venture capital firms.

Emerging Patient Monitoring Products: Pro’s and Con’s

The continuing demand towards telehealth facilities spawned the creation of acts endorsing the use of patient monitoring technologies such as the Remote Monitoring Access Act of 2007 which offered financial incentives for such solutions that efficiently manage chronic diseases under the Medicare Program. More and more major companies as well as investments have also consolidated towards the development of wireless end to end health and wellness solutions.

However, there have been major issues and barriers towards a large-scale customer adoption and these include the following:

• Absence of wide scale reimbursement
• Lack of standardization
• Lack of global regulatory policies governing technology usage
• Low awareness levels among patients
• Issues surrounding security of patient data also contribute to delay in adoption lifecycle
• There is no specific codes assigned to telehealth and Mhealth solutions

Some Noteworthy patient monitoring technologies

The following are just some of the recently developed remote patient monitoring technologies and products:

1. Health Buddy System – developed by Robert Bosch. It is an intelligent system that focuses on measuring vital signs and fosters patient self management by asking sensible questions and providing feedback on patient health behavior.
2. Ultra low power sensing hardware architecture, computation and communication for extending overall battery life – ongoing development and technological advancement
3. High performance medical sensors for easy integration to wireless networks – ongoing development and evolvement

Major Reason for increase in home health patient monitoring technologies

The major reason that has brought about the continuous demand for these technologies (according to medical and health experts) is attributed to the aging population and the elderly people. Since the elderly population are more prone to chronic diseases and ailments they are in dire need of an effective home health monitoring as compared to being admitted in institutions which can be very expensive.
