Yesterday, Chilmark Research participated in a webinar hosted by the eHealth Initiative. The topic of discussion was consolidation in the HIE market and drawing upon our research for the recently published HIE Market Report, we gave the following presentation. While we do predict that the HIE market will continue to consolidate, the big question is [...]

Yesterday, Chilmark Research participated in the CRG conference, Driving Change Through Managed Care IT from Provider Payments to Quality, which was held in New York City. Despite having a title that no one will be able to remember, the overall theme of the event and presentations therein gave one a bird’s eye view into what [...]
CNBC Takes a Look at iPad Adoption
Posted in mHealth, tagged Apple, iPad on March 25, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Chilmark Research was contacted earlier this week by CNBC, via Twitter, regarding a story they were doing on iPad adoption in healthcare. Always nice to see a well done story on the topic (hat’s off to CNBC producer Ruth Coxeter and reporter Bertha Coombs). Of course, seeing Chilmark Research prominently quoted sure puts a smile [...]
Learning from Mistakes: The Minnesota Story
Posted in CMS, EHR, HIE, HIT, policy on March 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Chilmark rarely references other reports and articles as the foundation for a post on this site. Once in a great while we come across a story that is just too good to pass over. Reporter Michael Krigsman, who writes the IT Failures column for ZDnet has just published such a story. The story gives a [...]
Much Ado About Patient Portals

From Chilmark Research’s perspective, patient portals are by and large Much Ado About Nothing. Sure, plenty of healthcare organizations (HCO) talk about patient access, engagement, and satisfaction and how they wish to empower their patients. They point to their glossy patient portal and say look at this wonderful tool we are providing for our patients. [...]

Why Apple iPad will Dominate in the Enterprise
Posted in Google, mHealth, tagged Android, App Store, Apple, healthcare, healthcare IT, iPad, iPad 2 on March 10, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Ok, before I even begin, let me put it right out there: I’ve been using Apple products since I first got my hands on one of those cute little Mac SEs in the late 80′s having given up my spanking, brand new Compaq 386 with 64kb of RAM and a dual 3.5 & 5.25 floppy [...]
HIMSS11 Shrinking the World Down One Size
Posted in ACO, EHR, EMR, mHealth, SaaS on March 9, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Like Dilbert, I left HIMSS11 with a sense of scale that was somewhat skewed. The first time I crossed the pedestrian bridge overlooking the vendor showroom, I was immediately struck by the vastness of it all. The showroom itself seemed to go on and on. Massive booths were equipped with overhead signs that spun [...]
A Tale of Two Medical Records
Posted in CCD, CCR, EHR, EMR, HIE, HIT, PHR, standards on March 4, 2011 | 11 Comments »
This is a tale of my nearly year-long attempt to integrate my family’s medical records from a small outpatient provider (MIT Medical) into my Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect EMR. From 2008-2010 my family was living Boston where I was getting my MBA at MIT Sloan. We had been long-time Kaiser members before we moved to Boston [...]
Trash Talk vs. Reality
Posted in HIE, Microsoft, tagged Aetna, Axolotl, IBM, Medicity on March 2, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) is one of the most common sales tactics used against a competitor. I’m never surprised to hear some FUD being thrown around at a major trade show like HIMSS, but this year it seemed to be particularly virulent among the many vendors I spoke to, which did surprise me. [...]
