What is The Healthchord Movement?
  • Bottom-Up Healthcare Reform, a system change
    idea for the next president and the country
  • Individual use of a Health assessment tool that
    is 72 everyday questions that is well tested and
    proven useful
  • Thoroughly assess the current health status of
    both individuals and groups in 15 areas of
    disease impact and health skills

    action in areas when their own health status is
    revealed

  • assessment tool Breaks down the health status of
    a an individual, a population, companys insured
    employees and dependants,
  • HDQ is based on the Health and Disease Model
    i.e., one that cares for health with the same
    intensity it cares for disease.
  • It takes most people 10 minutes to complete.
  • Primary care or Family physicians could be
    rewarded accordingly.

See Rewards for usage by Milt Seffert, M.D.

The HealthChord Health and Disease Questionnaire
  • Results
  • HDQ inspires a partnership that is mutual and
    creative between the patient and clinician
  • HDQ tool facilitates interdependency for both
    individuals and purchasers through a common
    language
  • Patient Choice an individual is more informed
    and better able to can take action on the results
  • Focus is on both overall holistic health and
    disease impact
  • Doctors use it to customize services to fit each
    patient.
  • The HDQ software identifies unhealthy lifestyles,
    creating awareness - the first step in behavior
    change

Manufacturing High Quality
Healthcare
The Laboratory Eagle Medical Excelsior MN.
  • Eagle Medical has served 1000s of patients using
    the HealthChord approach since 1972
  • Gallop Poll Report 95 patient satisfaction at
    Eagle Medical Clinic (recent survey)
  • The Eagle Medical Clinic Team manufactures
    Healthcare of the Highest Quality with the HDQ
    and the 4C2A Formula

8
What is the 4C2A Formula?
It is a community-oriented health care
perspective that promotes the common
good.
  • It is
  • Comprehensive and Continuing,
  • Coordinated and Customized
  • Accessible and Accountable

9
HealthChord Complements CAMA possible new
approach
  • We Believe that optimal health and well-being can
    be achieved through CAM (complementary and
    alternative
    medicine) and integrative healthcare
    - implementing
    the best of
    complementary conventional care
  • The HealthChord approach
  • Enhances the quality of life for patient and
    familes
  • Supports the acquisition of information,
    knowledge, and wisdom through intuition
  • Integrates new understandings of life through
    the activities of 21st century science and
    research

10

    improving communications and trust, and getting
    results
  • Scalable approaches (personal to massive scale)

11
Harmony with Health and Life Management Skills
  • Dr. Milton Seiffert, M.D.
  • The maturation of this technology dates back to
    Alcoholics Anonymous in the 1950s the Eagle
    Medical practice began using this approach in
    1972. The concepts of the life management skills
    program are simple, understandable and
    appropriate even for children as young as eight
    years of age.
  • In short, this programs most important feature
    is its documented capacity to change (health)
    behavior. It has shortened in-patient hospital
    length of stay, reduced domestic violence,
    improved marriages, fostered (the) practice of
    staff interdependence, increased seat belt usage
    also of great significance is the absence of
    suicides of patients in the program since its
    inception in 1972. Over and over, this technology
    has helped people with chronic disease to modify
    their behavior, as well as those with compulsive
    disorders. The Eagle Medical practice has found
    that this approach can be used to treat the
    emotional component of almost any medical
    practice problem, e.g., medical illness, surgical
    illness, chronic pain, or autoimmune disorders.

12
The HealthChord Movement Phase 2
  • There are various views of the U.S. healthcare
    system
  • AARP, Mayo Clinic, the Institute of Medicine just
    to name a few
  • All have a part of the truth but provide a
    picture that is incomplete. All say change is THE
    priority
  • Articles found at www.healthchord.info
    - Click on Primary Care

13
The HealthChord Movement
  • Crossing the Quality Chasm to better healthcare
    from the Institute of Medicine focuses broadly on
    how the U.S. healthcare system can be reinvented
    using a Primary care approach.
  • Even though the healthcare system as a whole is
    in huge disrepair, we also believe is is possible
    to create a safe and effective system.
  • In this we agree with the Institute of Medicine,
    Mayo and AARP

However, it will require proven methodologies to
speed the transformation of the current chaos
into a system that works well for all.
14
The HealthChord Movement
  • The system and process must begin at the
    local level and must
    involve many parties,
    both groups and individuals.
  • Patient and Doctor having open and honest,
    quality dialogues that get quality results.
  • HealthChord would unite the principal
    stakeholders, I.e. doctors, patients and
    purchasers, as each of these would benefit from
    higher health status

15
Deming on the System
  • Edwards Deming on results
  • - the system accounts for 80
  • - individuals account for 20
  • When problems in production occur, it is useful
    to examine the system first.

16
Primary Care Costs Less
  • Worldwide there are disparities and inequities
    in healthcare
    (including in the United States).
  • The biggest factor for disparities is NOT poor
    and developing
    countries but rather the system
  • Numerous studies show that a Primary Care focused
    healthcare system produces better health outcomes
    and costs 30 less
  • Primary Care is anchored in a Partnership that
    believes
  • - good healthcare outcomes requires a good
    clinician/patient relationship
  • - A good relationship requires mutual
    negotiations and,
  • - Successful negotiations require a common
    language
  • See
    Negotiation Medicine

17
Accessible
  • It is organized to provide medical care around
    the clock, seven days of the week.
  • It has an Accessible governing body - the
    Patient Advisory Council (PAC), active since
    1974. The PAC is voluntary for both practice
    staff and patient group. Its purpose is to
  • resolve complaints (Services Improvement)
  • develop health policy

    create community education
    forums and
    provide
    patient-to-patient services.
  • be helpful and never harmful

18
Accountable
Practice Accountability - By virtue of its
governing body, the patient advisory council
(PAC) makes resolving patient concerns or
complaints it most important act of
accountability Patients Accountability -
promoting greater patient responsibility for
health through self-management concepts and
techniques that always stay within the context of
a strong doctor/patient partnership.
  • Patients gain responsibility through exercising
    individual choices.
  • A greater sense of control over health, promotes
    self-initiated preventative care, more optimism
    about the efficacy of early treatment, and
    greater actual and perceived health.
  • The belief that they can positively affect their
    own health encourages people to behave in more
    positive ways with gratifying health results.
  • The doctors get patients who are better partners
    and this improves the outcomes.

19
Comprehensive and Continuing
  • Integrates the care of patients biomedical and
    psychosocial needs and
    avoids the
    fragmentation of mind-body dualism.
  • Treats mental, emotional, social and spiritual
    health right
    within the practice setting, reducing
    the need for
    additional consults.
  • Employs a health educator with the title, Health
    Coordinator. Note Patients rate the role of the
    health coordinator highly
  • Helps patients develop effective life management
    skills especially in the area of stress
    management.
  • HDQ results are often used as a first line to
    treatment, reducing or avoiding the need for more
    expensive technology or mood-alerting medications.

20
Coordinated and Customized
Once Eagle Medical understands the patients
strengths and needs, clinic caregivers rely on
teamwork and interdependence to meet patient
goals and to provide individualized care.
  • Customized care via the Health and Disease
    Questionnaire (HDQ), which Measures both
    strengths and risks of patients in the areas of
    physical, mental, social, emotional, and
    spiritual health.
  • Confidential HIPPA sanctioned and Secured
    Questionnaires are completed online.
  • Results are received within two minutes, real
    time, which allows the doctor to
    encourage the patient to begin
    positive health behavior change.

21

Coordinated and Customized
  • Promotes an interdependent team approach between
    and among providers.
  • Allows more providers to participate effectively
    in safe and effective resolution of complex
    patient problems.
  • The Primary Care physician serves as the team
    evaluator, helping the team hone diagnoses,
    re-diagnose, and seek new treatments as well as
    greater continuity of care.
  • This team approach allows for early intervention
    and treatment of patients at a level in the
    system that is most personal, most appropriate,
    and least costly.
