Pneumonia and Basin's Predictive Capacity Senior Living Needs

Pneumonia is infection which pools fluid and mucus which inhibits delivery of fresh oxygen through the lungs to the blood stream.  Quality of life is reduced with difficulty breathing, air hunger.  The risk is death. 

The Basin analytic process identifies changes in one measure which can (correlate) predict change in another measure.  Occurrence plays a role in how risk is characterized.  An immediate point of emphasis lies with a population that has been previously hospitalized with a diagnosis of pneumonia. 

Basin process assesses causality which helps determine why something is happening.  The (CDC) Centers for Disease Control correlates flu diagnosis with pneumonia.  Flu weakens the bodies natural (immune system) mechanisms which contributes to pneumonia often requiring a hospitalization. 

The correlation between cases of flu and pneumonia is why annual flu vaccines continue as a national public health strategy to decrease cost and lessen financial risk across medical delivery systems.  Basin  moves analysis from the one size fits all population approach to an individualized performance management process.

Basin then includes these seemingly unavailable data metrics.  Determining a history of a hospitalization for pneumonia.  Individualized patient allergies (undesired symptoms) to the drugs prescribed to treat pneumonia as outpatient.  History of pneumococcal resistance where the bug has evolved causing certain drugs not to work as well. 

This is a comprehensive application that strengthens the personalized care delivery movement.  Reports involve individual preferences in relation to emerging patterns of medical delivery occurrence.  This biopsychosocial venue defines intersecting causalities when interventions require an evidence based characterization. 

The context of the real time period speaks to the level of service need.   Quality of life is thought to improve.  Cost and risk are thought to decrease .  Interventions are thought to be more effective.  The individual senior consumer can experience a stronger perception of empowerment improving engagement.
