To share how an effectual merging of local and online networks in low resource regions can supplement and strengthen the local practice of patient centered care through the use of an online digital infrastructure powered by all stakeholders in healthcare. User Driven Health Care offers the dynamic integration of patient values and evidence based solutions for improved medical communication in medical care.



Introduction

This paper conceptualizes patient care-coordination through the lens of engaged stakeholders using digital infrastructures tools to integrate information technology. We distinguish this lens from the prevalent conceptualization of dyadic ties between clinician-patient, patient-nurse, clinician-nurse, and offer the holistic integration of all stakeholder inputs, in the clinic and augmented by online communication in a multi-national setting.



Methods

We analyze an instance of the user-driven health care (UDHC), a network of providers, patients, students and researchers working together to help manage patient care. The network currently focuses on patients from LMICs, but the provider network is global in reach. We describe UDHC and its opportunities and challenges in care-coordination to reduce costs, bring equity, and improve care quality and share evidence.



Conclusion

UDHC has resulted in coordinated global based local care, affecting multiple facets of medical practice. Shared information resources between providers with disparate knowledge, results in better understanding by patients, unique and challenging cases for students, innovative community based research and discovery learning for all.},

abstract = {Background

Foundational domains are the building blocks of educational programs. The lack of foundational domains in undergraduate health informatics (HI) education can adversely affect the development of rigorous curricula and may impede the attainment of CAHIIM accreditation of academic programs.



Objective

This White Paper presents foundational domains developed by AMIA’s Academic Forum Baccalaureate Education Committee (BEC) which include corresponding competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) that are intended for curriculum development and CAHIIM accreditation quality assessment for undergraduate education in applied health informatics.



Methods

The AMIA BEC used the previously published master’s foundational domains as a guide to creating a set of competencies for health informatics at the undergraduate level to assess graduates from undergraduate health informatics programs for competence at graduation. A consensus method was used to adapt the domains for undergraduate level course work and harmonize the foundational domains with the currently adapted domains for HI master’s education.



Results

Ten foundational domains were developed to support the development and evaluation of baccalaureate health informatics education.



Discussion

This article will inform future work towards building CAHIIM accreditation standards to ensure that higher education institutions meet acceptable levels of quality for undergraduate health informatics education.},
