Whether it’s true or not, the “untethered” PHR—one not connected to a health system’s EHR—has been a non-starter for years. I’ve been particularly critical of the undeserved attention Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault have received, when many smaller companies have been working on PHRs for much longer. The original head of the Google Health project, Adam Bosworth, left the company in 2007 under suspicious circumstances—did he quit or was fired?—prior to the way overhyped 2008 introduction of this vaporware. Bosworth has gone on to start a new company, Keas, that produces a PHR that incorporates care plans. Keas got some undeserved hype itself, in...

My head is awash with flashing screens of medical alerts, rainbow-colored demos of virtual patients flitting from one personal health app to the next, and a blur of snappy, almost sneering answers to the same old questions about user adoption, ROI, and business models. I just spent two days getting high on health care’s highest high-concept, I can’t log into my own health plan’s portal to look up a simple eligibility thing, and it’s dull, gray cloudy morning in San Francisco.

As many now realize, the language of the Bill can be ambiguous, requiring wise regulatory interpretation and execution to ensure that the money is spent well and that desired outcomes are achieved.

I now understand that the "plus" is because the conference has expanded its scope from "Towards an Electronic Patient Record" to include mobile health and interoperability. To this end, the Medical Records Institute formed a new 501(c)(3) called the mHealth Initiative, which is totally unrelated to the eHealth Initiative.The mHealth Initiative is headed by MRI vice president Claudia Tessier, former executive director of a previous MRI project called the Mobile Health Care Alliance (MoHCA). The new organization, which will pick up the activities of the MRI's Center for Cell Phone Applications in Healthcare (C-PAHC), has a workshop planned for March 3...

Keeping the Google and healthcare theme going, there is a post at the Google blog today by Adam Bosworth, where he talks about a speech that he gave at the AMIA spring congress. As is his wont, Adam includes his speech notes in the blog post (pdf). The focus of the talk is a vision of the future of healthcare, specifically personalized healthcare. In keeping with talks he has given in the past, Adam starts with the premise that consumers should own their own health and wellness data, and importantly how it is used. For example, if electronic records are moving between insurers and healthcare providers, a copy should reach the consumer as well.
