It is almost becoming the norm to say that it has been another tumultuous year in the healthcare IT market.

As part of the process of setting our broader research agenda at Chilmark Research, we do a significant amount of secondary research combined with more limited, but highly focused primary research. We use this research to identify the “white spaces” where there appears to be a demand for some thoughtful, in-depth research and reporting that [...]
A Comment, A Challenge

While we receive many comments on this site to various postings, we received one this week that really caught our attention for a three reasons: 1) The author, Dr. Louis Siegel, speaks with some authority having not only been a practicing physician for many years but also an innovator/entrepreneur with a patent to his name [...]

PHRs are much like the tides, news about them ebbs and flows. Right now, with the relatively recent demise of Google Health, Dossia’s attempts at rebirth, and the significant inquiries we are receiving regarding meaningful use requirements to host a PHR (patient portal). But in and amongst all this Chilmark has heard on more than [...]

Smashing Myths & Assumptions: PHR for Urban Diabetes Care
Posted in ACO, CMS, consumer health, health portals, mHealth, PCMH, PHR, tagged chronic care, diabetes, patient portal on November 12, 2010 | 19 Comments »
There remains an unhealthy level of skepticism in the market as to whether or not consumers will use a personal health record (PHR). While a certain level of skepticism is healthy in any market, the level to which it is laid towards PHRs is unwarranted and likely more a function of ignorance then malicious intent. [...]
Web2.0 Use Among Hospitals
Posted in consumer health, health portals, tagged Health 2.0, Web 2.0 on January 23, 2009 | 9 Comments »
Interesting analysis of hospitals across the country that are using Internet-based, social networking tools, often referred to as Web2.0 (e.g., facebook, YouTube, Twitter) to connect with consumers.
