Title: MyAsthma MyPlan: A Patient and Provider-Facing App
Time: Wednesday, 3pm—4pm
Location: Atkins Center – HSC Level 4 (Radiology)
Abstract: MyAsthma MyPlan is the prototype of a web-based application called MyBody MyPlan which we are developing here at SBUMCthrough a collaboration between clinicians and IT experts. MyAsthma MyPlan is currently a functional application housed on aplatform within the Stonybrook.edu domain. End-users include a diverse ecosystem of stakeholders: patients, parents, communitymembers and members of the health care team. This app is designed to give consistent answers to 3 questions: 1) What isthe plan? 2) How do you do it? 3) How is it going? This talk will explore the information gap in knowledge of an individual’schronic disease self-management plan that led to the development of MyAsthma MyPlan. Using MyAsthma MyPlan as a casestudy, we will consider the key features of the app architecture needed to foster efficient and effective communication of theself-management plan across the ecosystem of stakeholders. Finally, we will consider how this application fits into the transitionto value-based payment.
