Today, IBM announced that it has signed-on eHealth Initiative (eHI) CEO, Janet Marchibroda as their new chief healthcare officer. A somewhat odd title as she is not a doctor, but that is really not the issue here. To date, IBM has been somewhat missing from action in all the HIT buzz with most of the [...]

8:15am After the formal introductions, Karen Davis, head of The Commonwealth Fund has taken the stage. She’s beginning with the slides we have all seen (that is those of us who attend these events), unsustainable growth in spending, not getting what we paid for, etc. Their “National Scoreboard” has found quality slipping 1n 2008 from [...]

This morning’s Wall Street Journal has an article, first page – Section B, highlighting the growing impact of the financial crisis on the IT industry. The enterprise software powerhouse, SAP, shocked investors earlier this week when it warned that it would not meet its 3rd Qtr target, citing slowness in the mid-market. Another tech company, [...]
AHRQ Event Notes – Is this Deja vu

Last year, I attended one of my first healthcare conferences, that sponsored by the federal agency, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). While I had mixed feelings about that inaugural event (at least inaugural for me), I returned this year to see what progress has been made on the quality front and whether or [...]
Why HIEs Succeed and RHIOs Languish
Posted in consumer health, tagged RHIO, HIE, NHIN, supply chain, healthcare policy on August 13, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Back at the beginning of the year, I did a Top Ten Predictions post where one of the predictions was the continued struggles of Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) and the steady rise of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). Since much of the ballyhooed National Health Information Network (NHIN) is built upon the premise of RHIOs [...]

This just in, Microsoft’s HealthVault announced a partnership with AT&T and Covisint to enable healthcare data exchange across a highly distributed network. While I have not had a chance to really dig into this announcement, it does appear, at least on the surface, to be quite an interesting partnership. One of the most interesting aspects [...]

If you get bored of walking the aisles of HIMSS and can’t bear to hear another vendor pitch, well you could always wander over to a session where people will gather to discuss and reach consensus on what are arguably the 5 most used acronyms in the industry. You can contribute to the discussion as [...]

A common practice in the analyst community is to take a look back at what has occurred and project forward as to what we might see in the coming year. I won’t spend anytime on what has occurred as you can always drift back to previous posts. Following are the Top Ten predictions for 2008. [...]

Over on the WSJ Health blog there is a quick posting on how Microsoft joined with some 40 plus organizations including the ACLU, AIDS Action, and Gun Owners of America, to name a few in lobbying Congress, via letter, to update the nation’s privacy laws. Just as important as who is on the list are [...]
