Chilmark Research has just released the Executive Summary of its iPHR Market Report to the general public via the open publishing website, Scribd.

Plenty of top ten predictions on any number of topics, but it is rare to find one focusing on healthcare IT, Chilmark Research’s bailiwick. And while we may be just a little late in getting this out there onto the streets, it is mid-January after all, our quick search on the net did not turn [...]

Yesterday, MediConnect announced that it had acquired Florida-based PHR vendor, PassportMD. The acquisition is a good move by MediConnect as it will allow them to extend beyond just collecting records on behalf of consumers (it offers such a service on Google Health), but now provide consumers with a solution to present such records in an [...]

A common practice among analyst firms such as Chilmark Research is to make annual predictions of what is in store for the coming year. Chilmark will be making its own predictions for 2010 in the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, what most analyst firms do not do is reflect on their previous predictions and assess [...]

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 [...]
