The Revolution is Over
Posted in consumer health, PHR, tagged Everyday Health, merger, Revolution Health, Waterfront Media, WebMD on October 3, 2008 | 4 Comments »
The New York Times reported yesterday that Revolution Health Network is expected to announce sometime today that they will merge with Everyday Health. Looks like a pretty lame marriage, but probably the best that Steve Case’s holding company, Revolution LLC, could get for this online property as it is an ugly bride. The official PR [...]
WebMD Targets Marketing with QualityHealth Acquisition

Anyone who has listened to a recent WebMD quarterly results webcast clearly understands where WebMD sees growth. Not too surprisingly, it is not PHRs via customized portal solutions for payers and employers, despite them having over 250 clients including such household names as EMC, IBM, WellPoint and numerous BCBS plans. No, it is in advertising [...]
Everyday a Revolution Health or How 1+1=1.5

The Washington Post had a brief article yesterday of a rumor that local Health 2.0 darling, Revolution Health is in merger talks with Everyday Health. Based upon my cursory review of Everyday Health and knowledge of Revolution Health, these two look like a carbon copy of one another – lots of female targeted ads, simple [...]
Revolution Health Seeks Life Preserver

A recent article in the publication Workforce Management reports that Revolution Health has signed-on investment bank Morgan Stanley to help it explore options including seeking outside investments and even possible sale. I’m not at all surprised. If you have been a regular reader here you know that I am not a big fan of Revolution [...]
Where Art Thou Revolution Health?
Posted in consumer health, Google, Microsoft, PHR, tagged Revolution Health on June 11, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It never ceases to amaze me how much press Steve Case’s Revolution Health receives in the popular press. Just this week, in announcing the Microsoft-Kaiser agreement, the Wall St. Journal referenced Revolution Health in the same article as a company with similar intentions as HealthVault. Please, nothing could be further from the truth. Well, actually, [...]

Received an email this weekend from the organizers of the big healthcare IT conference, HIMSS, which will be held next week in Orlando. This is the BIG EVENT, where virtually all present and future players in the HIT market come to pontificate on HIT’s future (e.g., both Google’s and Revolution Health’s CEOs will be giving [...]
eClinicalWorks Tight-lipped on Wal-Mart Deal

Most recent post on the Wal-Mart/eClinicalWorks go to market announcement. Just gave a call to eClinicalWorks regarding the announcement last week in the WSJ that they will be the standard EMR for all of Wal-Mart’s retail clinics. Was looking to get more background on the deal and what it might mean to eClinicalWorks going forward [...]
In Search of Meaning or at Least Being Relevant

Was just over on my Gmail account and there was this discrete little advert at the top of my screen about the five top things to never say at work. No problem with that, as I see such little advice teasers all the time in these quick sound-bite, better yet, word-bite messages in Gmail. What [...]
