I heard EPIC uses a PAC model for healthcare. What is that?
PAC stands for Personalized Augmented Comprehensive Care model. It involves the use of digital technologies and augmented reality to change healthcare and everyday medicine for both physicians and the patients. It involves the use of sensors, wearables, mobile computing, and Internet of Things (IoT) to continuously monitor a patient not just in a clinic, but also at their homes, offices, and social settings to collect medical data, study the effect of medicines, environment, and physiological factors to help improve health-related outcomes.
What are the benefits of EPIC PC PAC model?
PAC allows for continuous monitoring, engagement, and health management of a patient. Rather than just treating a patient for a disease, it focuses on involving the patient in preventing disease, predicting possible adverse outcomes and preventing them through proactive measures, and keeping them healthy and fit with lifestyle changes. So, rather than chronic disease management, it takes a holistic approach to improving the overall quality of life.
Imagine a doctor treating a child being able to have different treatment options pop up on a screen as he looks at different conditions or have growth charts appear around a child during a checkup. So, instead of spending more time reading studies to refine their skills, through augmented care, doctors can now easily pull up all the information they need as they seamlessly treat patients.
