So my major take-home lesson from Day 1 of this workshop was that – across a number
of the grantees – they have commonly realized that they need to have some sort of human
review of the ODLs prior to escalating the ODLs – or those cases, those patients, subjects
– to the physician. So in many cases, it’s an occupational therapist, or a case worker,
or some other [person], or a nurse who can look at the data that’s submitted. And there’s
a lot of data, so having this intermediary is really valuable, because they can look
at those cases and see those important points and say “this piece of data, this ODL, really
– or these groups of ODLs – really needs to get escalated and the physician really
needs to see this. Those cases can get escalated and the physician can intervene, or take action,
as necessary. This is addressing a major issue – a major concern – with the introduction
of ODL data into the clinical workflow, because the physician is going to get inundated by
these daily living observations. So to have this gatekeeper – this filter – they can
say “here’s something that you really need to pay attention to.” Really, I think
it’s valuable and it makes it feasible to incorporate ODL data into the clinical workflow.
