On my way to the Metro to attend the mHealth Summit came across this Halloween-themed protest against payers and in support of healthcare reform. They had the haunted music blaring, the megaphone manned by a Zombie. How fitting in these times of great controversy regrading reform and just a tad ironic as I headed to [...]

This has been a year that I will not be sad when it is laid to rest. In June I fractured my right heel while hiking in Tevas. (Note to self, if you are hiking, where hiking boots!). July rolls around, a number of stressful events occur and I end up with some sort of [...]
Consumer Preferences: Sharing PHI
Posted in EHR, EMR, PHR, policy, standards, tagged consumer preferences, HHS on October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last week, HHS sent a notice to a limited number of people in the healthcare space soliciting their comments on a Draft Requirements Document for Consumer Preferences.

iTriage is a slick iPhone app that we first took a look at back in April. A couple of weeks back we had a chance to meet with the CEO, Dr. Peter Hudson (yes, he’s an ER doc who still practices medicine) who was in Boston to attend a conference. During that meeting, Peter gave [...]

Another Health 2.0 Conference has come to pass and with broken wrist limiting typing fluidity, going to keep this synopsis short and sweet. Not sure who said first impressions are lasting impressions, but coming up on the facilities that were to house this year’s Health 2.0 conference, I had a moment of trepidation upon seeing [...]

Over the past month or so on travel to a number of events, was a bit shocked to see all the attention being paid to the upcoming flu season and in particular, the H1N1 virus, commonly referred to as the Swine Flu.

This week I had two follow-up appointments from on my trip to ER last Sunday. The first was to the trauma orthopedist at Brigham & Women’s. Upon entering the office, was handed the infamous clipboard with five pages of forms to fill-out, all the usual stuff, most of it just a repeat of the information [...]

Chilmark has not been a big fan of the National Health Information Network (NHIN) concept. It was, and in large part still is, a top heavy federal government effort to create a nationwide infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of clinical information.
