FastCompany contributor and Social Media guru, Robert Scoble, interviews a Stanford physician on his use of Epocrates on the iPhone. An excellent interview that is well worth your time for several reasons: 1) With over 600,000 physicians using Epocrates (1 in 4 physicians in the US use Epocrates) it is arguably the number one mobile [...]

Posted in Privacy, tagged CCHIT, HIMSS on February 25, 2009 | 12 Comments »
Wow, is Chilmark Research getting popular! Today, we received a letter from the law offices of Jackson Lewis LLP who are acting on behalf of HIMSS. It appears that this website has gained a certain notoriety through comments left by a “Calvin Jablonski” (search and you’ll find them) on a number of posts. As it [...]
Fixing the Wellness Conundrum

My friends over at the Humana skunk-works CrumpleItUp (sure hope they aren’t paid in Human stock after yesterday’s rout, 24% drop – OUCH) put up an interesting post that takes a hard look at Wellness programs and why most fail miserably. Breaking down Wellness efforts into three models; traditional, heavy-handed top-down, specific games to encourage [...]
Thinking Pharma: Executive Dinner with Microsoft
Posted in consumer health, tagged ePharma, pharma, pharmaceuticals, Razorfish on February 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last week, Microsoft invited me to attend the ePharma conference and assist them with moderating dinner discussion with Pharma executives. While I did report on the ePharma event, have not had much time to talk about the dinner. A little thing called the Stimulus Bill (ARRA) and the HITECH Act has consumed most of my [...]

Since our series of posts on the Stimulus Bill (ARRA) and in particular the HITECH Act, Chilmark Research has been receiving a lot of questions from the market as to how we see this funding affecting EMR sales.

Early iPhone Experiences

Couple of weeks ago, my T-mobile contract expired and I turned to AT&T to get the iPhone. Was able to quickly sell my Blackberry (BB) Pearl on Craigslist (really like that service) and am slowly getting use to the iPhone quirks. What I don’t like, miss or just haven’t gotten use to on the iPhone: [...]

Just came across this document that you’ll find on Scrib, which is a bit over my head, but quite sure some of the visitors to Chilmark Research will find it useful. A team comprised of UK NHS reps and others from the US put together the guide with the expressed intention of: …provide guidance for [...]
HITECH Act: Medicaid Reimbursement Plan
Posted in EHR, HIT, policy, tagged ARRA, HITECH Act, Medicaid, Stimulus Bill on February 17, 2009 | 9 Comments »
Yesterday’s post and table provided the physician reimbursement schedule under Medicare. And astute reader contacted us to inform us that there is another reimbursement schedule that a physician (or hospital) could tap into under Medicaid. Medicaid reimbursement will be managed at the State level, which will institute the guidelines provided by HHS. Much of the [...]
HITECH Act: Reimbursement Schedule a Challenge
Posted in CMS, consumer health, EHR, EMR, HIT, policy, tagged ARRA, HITECH Act, Stimulus Bill on February 16, 2009 | 26 Comments »
The reimbursement schedule for EHR adoption is aggressive. Over the weekend, we spent more time pouring over the Stimulus Bill, (formerly known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, ARRA), which Obama is scheduled to sign on Tuesday, Feb. 17th. Within the ARRA, (Division B, page 489) is a very aggressive schedule to meet the [...]

We can hear the champagne bottles popping in legacy healthcare information technology (HIT) vendors offices across the country as they celebrate what is arguably the biggest windfall in their history, the HITECH Act and its $19.2B, that is tucked into the Stimulus Bill which President Obama will likely sign on Monday. Unlike other aspects of [...]
