The local Cleveland paper published a good article today that highlights the work between Cleveland Clinic and Microsoft HealthVault. Back in November, these two announced a joint agreement to work together to test the efficacy of using consumers’ self-reported, biometric readings for improving care delivery. In this case, Cleveland Clinic customers who are managing a [...]

Posted in EHR, EMR, Google, Google Health, Health Cloud, HealthVault, Microsoft, PHR, tagged MIE, nomoreclipboard on March 31, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Google recently announced that they had chosen EMR software, WebChart, from the Indiana company Medical Informatics Engineering (MIE) to power its three campus clinics, two in Mountain View and the other in Kirkland, WA. MIE is one of the seemingly countless small EMR providers that proliferate the HIT market with their EMR solution installed in [...]
Blumenthal’s Views = Lock-down on HIT Innovation?
Posted in Google, Microsoft, PHS, policy, standards, tagged CCHIT, certification, EHR, HIPAA, HITECH Act, ONC, Stimulus Bill on March 27, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Prof. David Blumenthal, the new head of ONC, makes some disturbing comments regarding the Stimulus Bill, HIT and HITECH Act in his article in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). The article is not completely off-base as he does a very good job of describing the basics of the HITECH Act, its intentions and [...]

The latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) is a good one. First, is but another paper, this one authored by many including our new head of ONC, Professor David Blumenthal, regarding the abysmal adoption of EMRs At least it appears that Blumenthal is fully aware of the challenges he faces in [...]
Hot Days and Deep Bowls
Posted in consumer health, HealthVault, tagged HIPAA, iTriage, mHealth on March 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Got back late last night after a relaxing (at least mentally) trip out West, first to give a Keynote presentation at LabInfoTech, and then onto Aspen, Colorado for some downhill skiing escapades and general romping in my old stomping grounds. (Spent most of my teenage years in Colorado Springs.) Beautiful sunny days with temperatures on [...]
Taking A Break to Rip Some Runs
Posted in PHR on March 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Been a fast and furious last few months. Change in administration, huge Stimulus Bill with big implications to HIT, continuing moves in the “Health Cloud”, minor annoyances from pesky association lawyers, and the list goes on. Whew – I need a break. And break I will take. Upon leaving Las Vegas later this afternoon, I [...]

Navigenics: The Experience
Posted in consumer health, PHR, tagged genetic testing, genetics, HealthVault, Navigenics on March 16, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Results are in from the Navigenics test and my sometime absent mindedness is unlikely to be caused from Alzheimer’s as I am at a very low risk of this disease, at least according to my genetic make-up. Boy, do I feel better now. At the beginning of 2009, I announced that I would be participating [...]
The HITECH Challenge: Is $19B Enough to Drive HIT Adoption
Posted in consumer health, EHR, EMR, tagged adoption, HITECH, HITECH Act, Stimulus Bill on March 13, 2009 | 10 Comments »
With the HITECH Act passed and the Dept. of HHS feverishly working to draft a clear definition of what “meaningful use” and “certified EHR” actually mean for reimbursement purposes, a far bigger question looms: Is the promise of $19B dollars dedicated to reimbursing those hospitals and physicians who adopt and meaningfully use an EHR enough?
