Challenges
Some challenges that we have faced so far:
Identifying the care settings and phases that patients with mobility
related diseases pass through
Some care gaps are insolvable from a systems analysis perspective
(e.g. diminishing number of rheumatologists hindering specialist
availability)
Identifying and implementing interventions that could potentially
optimize the patient-care journey while controlling costs
Challenges that we will face:
Implementing Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) values to the
Patient journey
Proposing solutions to several gaps in health care journeys
Conclusions
Mapping the patient journey creates a visualization of
a system that makes it easier to identify gaps and
opportunities for intervention.
Improving health care coordination requires a diverse
team to provide insight on many perspectives of the
health care system.
