The innovative use of information to achieve the three AHSN goals Dr Jeremy Wyatt DM FRCP Leadership chair in eHealth Research (Health Informatics) Yorkshire Centre for Health Informatics, Leeds Institute of Health Sciences ww.yhahsn.org.uk
eHealth / health informatics “Use of information & communications technologies to support & improve the delivery of health, social & self care” Focus is on: • Information - both data and knowledge • Decisionsof clinicians, patients, public… • Communication: appropriate messages, channels and formats
What is information ? Information: “organised data and knowledge used to support decisions and actions” Shortliffe EH: Textbook of Medical Informatics 1st edition, 1990 Data: the specifics of a case / patient - captured in records Knowledge: generic information that applies across cases - captured in books / websites / guidelines... Wyatt & Sullivan, BMJ 2005
Information cycles in healthcare Assemble evidence Apply knowledge Knowledge Evidence based health & behaviour change Learn & apply lessons Clinical audit / CQI / research cycle Retrieve data Patient / self care Insights, evidence Clinical practice, self care Capture data Analyse records Records
AHSN Information theme • Aim:to ensure that robust, comprehensive informationand evidenceare at the heart of decision making Objectives: • Ensureaccurate, timely information is delivered to every point of need • Improve integration of health databases across sectors, building on existing strengths • Bring latest developments in big data, cloud computing and data modelling to healthcare frontline • Give health professionals access toanalytical / reporting skills ww.yhahsn.org.uk
Questions for table discussion • What are the current information challenges in transforming health care? • How can research contribute to addressing these challenges?

Using Data Linkage to assess the extent of health inequalities and generate data informing a targeted intervention: Maternal mental health example • Parental depression can have a profound impact on children’s health, wellbeing and social development • Problem: Ethnic minority women have a higher rate of depression than white, are just as likely to access care, but less likely to be diagnosed and therefore treated, with consequences for the children • Understand characteristics of target sample • What proportion of the variation is due to • Non-attendance • Variation in presentation of symptoms • Coding practices • Treatment uptake • Outcome variation • Comparison with cohort measures (demography, outcomes for mother & child) • Clustered by area (practice)? Area (geography?) Ethnicity? • Explore solutions • Area-based • GP practice • Geographical barriers to care • Treatment based • Acceptability of treatments • Outcome variation for different groups • Target individual packages for those at the tail end of the distribution, or • Population shifts in health seeking behaviour?
Maternal mental health example Data linkage, primary care mental health: Who comes? For what? Dx. Coding Treatment F/U Demographics Coding of Depression Differences Quantity Spatial complaint Physical in tx options? Coding Outcome Cohort measures: Mental health, children’s mental health Extra data collection: e.g. GP practice characteristics, interviews?

information absent from implementation/transformation decision making: Part II - preferences Carl Thompson Professor TRiP-LaB, University of York
Preferences: “Silent misdiagnosis”? (Mulley et al. Kings Fund 2012) Health care may be the only industry in which giving customers what they really want would save money. Well-informed patients consume less medicine… much less. Wanless* estimated the potential annual savings at £30 billion, or 16 per cent of the projected budget by 2022 (Wanless 2002). * Based on maximum patient engagement
“Securing engagement”: the defaults…
Methods Discrete Choice Experiment with latent class modelling Innovations viewed as a “bundle” of characteristics (cost, evidence base, target groups, time to implementation….) online and paper-pen surveys in West Yorkshire, UK in 2011 stratified random sampling of 3600 people using “Electoral Roll” Register + Bradford NHS Foundation Trust membership list Public Voice in Health Service Innovation Investment Decision: A Discrete Choice Experiment
Results • 3 Latent Classes: Class-1 (57%), Class-2 (25%), Class-3 (18%) • Everyone prefers • Implementing innovations to not. • ‘scientifically’ proven, relatively cheap, innovations with clear health benefits, and are quick to implement. • people are unwilling to pay for innovations • that are scientifically unproven, take ‘more than a year’ to implement, and result in only ‘moderate’ health benefits. • And those targeting ‘drug users’, ‘obese people’, and the ‘elderly’: the “unpopular” • The differences…
Results • Class-1 (57%): Value ‘health gain’, less sensitive to costs, and like innovations targeting people with cancer. Science and expert opinion valued more than others; more likely to be satisfied with the quality of their health care. • Class-2 (25%): dislike spending on ‘unpopular’ groups.Willing to pay twice for ‘best’ health (100%) than ‘good’ health (50%), and do not value the speed of implementation. more likely to be male, full-time employed, and less satisfied with the quality of health care services available to them. • Class-3 (18%): accepting of ‘unpopular’ target groups. believe that decisions on the prioritisation of innovation options should not be based on the age and time-to-implementation.
Involving the public: beyond the focus group Public & Patient Involvement
And for the AHSN? • Chance to design services that reflect public preferences • realise some of Wanless’ £30 billion budget impact? • improving the sampling, response rate, attribute “bundle” size (applicability). • MRC methods grant still in the game • Prioritisation decision support • more innovation than you can fund: how do you choose?
