Discussions about health information technology. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Patient Engagement as a Two-Way Street Part 3 – Recommendations. In my last post, I spoke of the importance of “getting to know” the patient and asserted that knowing a person can’t be accomplished only by predefined questions. I also referred to the HIT Policy Committee and HIT Standards Committee’s request for comment on Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) for Meaningful Use Stage 3 (MU3). Avoid being overly prescriptive on whi...

Harmonious Health IT: Patient Engagement Needs to be a Two-Way Street
http://harmonious-healthit.blogspot.com/2012/07/patient-engagement-needs-to-be-two-way.html
Discussions about health information technology. Friday, July 6, 2012. Patient Engagement Needs to be a Two-Way Street. Sure, there is “secure messaging” where a patient can send essentially an email to a provider. But most requirements assume that providers control the keys to information that they (figuratively) “dispense” to the patient. I recently read a fascinating book called “. Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age” by Clay Shirky. Or, to use a music analogy as I like to ...

Harmonious Health IT: Opening the "Information Liquidity" Faucet
http://harmonious-healthit.blogspot.com/2010/12/opening-information-liquidity-faucet.html
Discussions about health information technology. Thursday, December 16, 2010. Opening the "Information Liquidity" Faucet. This starts a mini-series blog, a “Symphony in Two or Three movements.” Movement 1 will discuss what is happening as the information starts to flow “liquidly” as it should, among providers and patients and public health in the healthcare system. Movement 2 will discuss what I think providers will need to avoid drowning when the liquid turns into a flood. In order for the data to be un...

Harmonious Health IT: Patient-Centeredness: will "Direct-only" get us there?
http://harmonious-healthit.blogspot.com/2012/04/patient-centeredness-will-direct-only.html
Discussions about health information technology. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Patient-Centeredness: will "Direct-only" get us there? I read that the. Direct (SMTP, S/MIME secure email. Those of us who worked on Direct recognized its strength for particular “push” use cases. Many also felt strongly that Direct needed a bridge to the HIE world in terms of protocols (hence the XDR and XDM for Direct Messaging specification). The. Rely upon the project documents existing in every individual’s email or pers...

Harmonious Health IT: What's Up With Me?
http://harmonious-healthit.blogspot.com/2012/10/whats-up-with-me.html
Discussions about health information technology. Tuesday, October 30, 2012. What's Up With Me? I'm back on the blog after being M.I.A. I took an "early retirement" from Siemens, after working there for 35 years. My last day was September 30th. I've communicated that to many people privately, but had not updated my blog to reflect it. Apparently I haven't retired from business-speak! While I'll take a breather from HIT for the rest of 2012, I expect to remain involved in the HIT industry perhaps as a part...

Discussions about health information technology. Monday, November 21, 2011. A Harmonious HIT Thanksgiving. Since I’m traveling to visit family over Thanksgiving, I’ll take this opportunity to wish everyone a great holiday week. There’s always time to comment on what could be better!

Reasons I have to be thankful, but they are many. My colleagu...

http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2012/04/chaos-doctors-affordable-care-act-struck.html
Chaos for doctors if the Affordable Care Act is struck down. April 16, 2012. Imagine you’re a physician, and you have a full schedule of patients to see the day after the Supreme Court has thrown out the entire Affordable Care Act. Imagine you never liked Obamacare in the first place, so you are feeling pretty good about the Supreme Court decision. Provide the visit anyway, hoping that somehow Medicare will find a way around the Supreme Court ruling and pay for it? Will she go without it? A text message ...

Discussions about health information technology. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Typically it’s a time for reflection and looking ahead. But since Keith Boone already blogged about the. Top 10 HIT Standards efforts of 2011. And John Halamka predicted the. Top 16 HIT Standards Committee Topics for 2012. Where does that leave me? I’ll try blending 2011 and 2012, since many things started in 2011 but haven’t yet come to conclusion. Meaningful Use Stage 2. More than a hope, it’s a safe bet that this will.
