- MHIMSS15 Reflection: Healthcare Needs Simple SolutionsMedcity NewsApr 2015Healthcare needs more disruptive innovation. It’s the process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of the market and then relentlessly moves up market with enhanced experiences to displace established competitors.
- OOvercoming Healthcare's Last MileApr 2015In telecommunications, “the last mile” is the bottleneck in communication networks; its bandwidth limits the volume of data that can be delivered to the final destination – usually a home or business. The final mile links are the most numerous and most complex part of the system, and therefore, are the most difficult to upgrade to new technology. In healthcare, there is an increasing volume of data, high consumer expectations, complex regulatory requirements, outdated technology, and limited provider bandwidth which lead to our own “last mile problem.”
- MThe healthcare data debate: Forget big data and think actionable dataMedcity NewsMar 2015I want to encourage all of us to pause and give thought to this: Can we transform healthcare and change the data focus from big data to actionable data that connects people, their teams and their care plans? I believe we can. There are less expensive, easier-to-implement solutions that are focused exactly on driving action and connecting people. We need to connect care teams, share actionable information, and bring forward appropriate historical data for the patient’s care.

- MHealthcare Needs a True Care Management SystemMedcity NewsProviders across the country are asking for a better way to do the job of care plan development and management. Recent incentives put in place, plus new models of care, require new methods and tools for care plan management. What healthcare needs is a Care Management System built to support team-based care and empower users to clearly understand and communicate the state of play of their healthcare. Given the complexity of care surrounding patients working with multiple providers, the challenge of logging, updating, and communicating the state of care activities is a constant problem for patient teams.
- MA Final Four to Remember — and why it’s relevant to healthcareMedcity NewsHealthcare teams need to measure care processes – understanding team performance, workload, productivity, and measurable patient-centered goals is key to continual improvement. For many teams it is very difficult to answer the question, “how is care happening?” With the ability to track and measure care processes in real-time, providers and patients can refine and improve care.
