Just about anything you hear coming out of HHS’s ONC office is with regards to digitizing the doctor’s office. This is somewhat understandable as there is some $36B in ARRA funding just waiting for the rules on “meaningful use” (MU) to come out of CMS sometime in December. Until those rules are released, the EMR [...]

Posted in consumer health, Google Health, Health Cloud, HealthVault, PHP, PHR, tagged AHRQ, HHS, patient safety on September 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
This year was Chilmark Research’s third AHRQ’09 event. The previous two we attend in 2007 and 2008 left us, how shall we say it… underwhelmed and really did not have much intention of attending this year. But that was before ARRA, before meaningful use, before certified EHRs, and certainly before we were asked if we [...]

Time to Kill the PHR Term: Part 2
Posted in consumer health, Dossia, Google Health, HealthVault, PHR, policy on September 10, 2009 | 15 Comments »
Yesterday, we outlined why the PHR term has the potential to stunt future advances in consumer health and engagement via HIT. Our thesis is that the PHR term is rooted in a dated concept of simply providing the user/citizen a virtual file cabinet for their health records. Since the initial introduction of Internet-based PHRs nearly [...]
Time to Kill the PHR Term: Part 1
Posted in consumer health, EHR, EMR, PHR, policy, tagged meaningful use on September 9, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Chilmark Research is becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the PHR acronym for Personal Health Record. There are a couple of reasons for this: 1) The term is a hold-over from the physician-centric term EMR and thereby firmly attached to that conceptual framework. But does the average consumer really need to adopt an EMR architectural construct for [...]

Of course, the recent cool mornings and bright blue skies are also harbinger for the onset of fall and in good time, a blustery winter.
