Anticipatory Care in Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations: Making Data Sense of Complex Health Journeys

Abstract: Purpose: Potentially preventable hospitalizations (PPH) are minimized when adults (usually with multiple morbidities ± frailty) benefit from alternatives to emergency hospital use. A complex systems and anticipatory journey approach to PPH, the Patient Journey Record System (PaJR) is proposed.Application: PaJR is a web-based service supporting ≥weekly telephone calls by trained lay Care Guides (CG) to individuals at risk of PPH. The Victorian HealthLinks Chronic Care algorithm provides case finding from hospit… Show more

“…Patterns encompass some random, stochastic as well as some very stable almost linear patterns, however, most patterns in complex systems are ‘in‐between’. These ‘in‐between’ patterns show some ‘remarkably high’ degree of predictability which allows the observer to make sense (for a detailed discussion on sense‐making see Kurtz and Snowden 42 ) of the ‘emerging information’ and to anticipate potential future behaviours 36 …”

“…[28][29][30] This has been successfully applied to all scales of problems. Examples include: understanding the genetic components of aging 31 or the variability of clinical behaviours in glioblastoma multiforme 32 at the microlevel, the understanding of health 33,34 and the trajectory of patients' health and healing journeys, [35][36][37] the management of an epidemic like SARS-CoV-2, 38 improving the health of indigenous people, 39 or ending neglected tropical diseases at the health policy level. 40 An inevitable final question arises: What stands in the way of adopting systems thinking in the medical setting?…”

“…Anticipatory care that takes particular note of the person's self-rated health, health concerns and anticipated changes in health has shown a reduction in preventable morbidity, hospitalisation and mortality. [13][14][15][16] Effectiveness/complication rates and quality of care/life would be relevant outcome-focused accountability measures to show the performance of an 'aged care facility as a whole'. 17 production, that 'doing things right' will result in the desired outcomes; unfortunately, the reality of aged care shows that it frequently does not.…”

“…Im- Based on these indicators, so-called dynamic indicators of resilience (DIORs), an algorithm for assessing the risk of catastrophe for ecological systems has been proposed [11]. In clinical practice, an anticipatory care system for patients approaching a tipping point stage has been successfully tested [12]. To determine the risk groups in the population exposed to unfavorable anthropogenic influences, we have to identify groups demonstrating dramatically increased frequency of fixation of certain pathological processes.…”
