Healthcare in 3D Terms and Phrases

  • Plan — Healthcare insurance plans (HMO, PPO, etc...)
  • Scenario Planning — A blueprint for achieving a desired objective. The scenario takes account of the external factors in the Ecosystem that impacts an entity’s success. For example, real world health care transformation uses terms such as accountability, coordination, collaboration, post-acute care, chronic to acute care, value, bias, evidence-based medicine; all these are in themselves scenario statements. With the framework of HCn3D scenarios draw from a set of Briefs to assemble schemas that show a path to Value. Scenarios can therefore define a path to optimization for a healthcare entity, and optimization for the ecosystem as a whole. The relationship of levels of optimization for any entity at any scale builds the path to value.
  • Unplanned Admission — When an individual arrives at a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF) due to an urgent and/or unexpected condition.
