Another year, another Health 2.0 under the belt. This being the fourth time attending it is interesting to see how this event and its participants have evolved. Like many things in life, some things at Health 2.0 have changed, some have not, most for the better, but there remain some troubling aspects to this event [...]

Last week, Ingenix announced that it would be acquiring Axolotl. Probably no one was happier than the folks at Gilat Satellite Networks who had invested $4.5M in Axolotl over ten years ago, had written off that investment during the dot-com bust in 2001 and now is looking at getting some $24M in cash plus another [...]
Seattle Bound

Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to Seattle to attend Microsoft’s annual Connected Health event. Last year’s event provided some useful insight’s into Microsoft’s international intentions which were most recently reflected in their partnership with Siemens to take HealthVault to Germany. Last year’s event was also prophetic in Microsoft’s deepening intent to serve the provider market. Based [...]
Where’s the Beef?

Awhile back, Chilmark received a briefing from Medicity about their forthcoming iNexx platform. We liked what we saw. iNexx fit our model of where the HIE and more broadly, the HIT market is headed, particularly for the far-flung small ambulatory practices that make up the vast percentage of where most people receive their care. It [...]
Another Year, Another HIMSS

Coming back from HIMSS and really scratching my head trying to think of what incredible new and novel thing(s) did I see, hear about or experience at the conference. Nothing stood out. Here it is just my third HIMSS and I am already getting a bit bored, struggling to find those truly exciting advances that [...]
The Migration to Modular HIT Apps

Been a lot of talk over the last year or so regarding the move to smaller, more modular, substitutable apps (think iPhone) to address healthcare IT sector needs, particularly for providers. This discussion has progressed to the point where HHS, in looking to certify EHRs, is also looking at how these small modular EHR apps [...]
Cloud Computing, Security & Privacy Considerations

While conducting research for the long overdue and nearly completed report on Personal Health Clouds (Dossia, Google Health and HealthVault) came across a recently published report by the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) addressing cloud computing security. Though quite long (over 120 pages) the report provides a very comprehensive overview of cloud computing, [...]
PaaS Challenges for HIE Vendors
Posted in HIE, tagged cloud computing, PaaS on November 3, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday’s post took a look at the future for the Health Information Exchange (HIE) market putting forth the projection that successful HIEs will move towards a platform as a service (PaaS) cloud computing model. Market forces (meaningful use) and simple logic are driving this transition. Since putting up the post, Chilmark has received several emails [...]
The Google Health Strategy

Chilmark Research is furiously working on its next report that will take an in-depth look at the three major platform plays, Dossia, Google Health and Microsoft’s HealthVault. Shaping up to be an excellent report (in our humble opinion) with a target release date of mid-December. One of the challenges in writing this report is taking [...]
