PHIERSafe

The PHIERSafe (based on VistA), is a government-sanctioned, HIPAA-compliant, health information service which combines case management with health data assistance and decision aids.  It enables patients, advocates and caregivers to collaborate with providers across multiple settings, care teams, functionally separate organizations, government-funded programs and agencies. VistA is already present in more than 1800 hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, providers/specialists offices across the nation. It has been embraced by the World Health Organization, and is used to combat cancer, infectious and chronic diseases – which are bankrupting our healthcare system.  The majority of physicians (70%) have been trained to use its modules. By promoting a system based on VistA, data silos and fragmented care can be eliminated, which the IOM says will improve outcomes and reduce healthcare costs by 50 – 75%. The savings will be in the hundreds of billions, which is more than enough to create sustainable jobs.

PHIERSafe will be donated to our member organizations and will generate savings needed to strengthen the safety net and tax baseThe best part is that it is open source, and the training is already available online, for free!

To get the ball rolling quickly, we will train job seekers to use MyHealtheVet (MyHeV) personal health record (PHR), to help veterans.  MHeV provides real-time access to the veteran’s data (stored in VistA), on demand via the web.

Training job seekers to access and use MHeV on behalf of participating veterans before and after each encounter with a provider will IMMEDIATELY improve the quality and continuity of care they receive… by making sure the most current information is accessed by the right people, before medical decisions or mistakes are made.

This is in stark contrast to the way care is currently provided – where providers lack access to this health information for reasons our plan can easily overcome.

According to the VA, out of 9 million veterans, there are only about 1 million who use MHeV – which means there’s LOTS of veterans that PHIERS.org can help IMMEDIATELY by training job seekers to use MHeV through PHIERworks.
