            <title>A vendor’s view on selling of data</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5159275&amp;cid=t_178412_113_f&amp;fid=34625&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FNeilVerselsHealthcareItBlog%2F%7E3%2FRTT7SAYwins%2F</link>
            <description>As long as there have been EMRs, there have been vendors selling aggregated, de-identified data. And there have been people worried about privacy.
That issue came up last week AHIMA Legal EHR Summit right here in Chicago, during a session exploring issues related to data ownership and stewardship in the era of cloud computing. (I&amp;#8217;ll have a more complete rundown of the session Monday in InformationWeek Healthcare.)
Near the start of the panel, Daniel Orenstein, senior VP and general counsel of Athenahealth tried to put any lingering questions to rest right away. &amp;#8220;I think data monetization is kind of a red herring,&amp;#8221; Nussbaum said of people who criticize vendors for selling sensitive patient information. According to Nussbaum, de-identified data no longer includes any protec...</description>

            <description>A blog post today by Microsoft&amp;#8217;s Dr. Bill Crounse got me thinking again about the cloud.
Crounse cited a new CDW poll showing that 30 percent of healthcare organizations could be considered &amp;#8220;cloud adopters,&amp;#8221; and for good reason. &amp;#8220;The flexibility, scalability and lower costs associated with moving certain line of business applications to the cloud are compelling, especially for an industry like healthcare. After all, the primary focus of hospitals and clinics is caring for patients, not running an IT empire. There’s not a CIO, CFO, CEO, COO, CNO, CMIO, or CMO who wouldn’t love to shift some of their IT spending to delivering better care to the communities they serve,&amp;#8221; Crounse wrote.
They were more likely to turn to the cloud for &amp;#8220;commodity&amp;#8221; serv...</description>

            <description>A lot of people are intrigued with using “cloud” applications and storage for personal health data. This week we’re seeing what I think is the final nail in the coffin of “cloud only” for anything important. You gotta have offline backups: two huge cloud vendors – Amazon and now Google – have demonstrated that even they can go down, leaving their users absolutely powerless.

Cloud computing (Wikipedia) is hugely attractive to software developers and businesses. As shown in this diagram from Wikipedia, the idea is that you do your computing using storage or tools that are on some computer somewhere out there “in the cloud.” You don’t know or care where, because somebody out there takes care of things. As your business or database grows, “they” take care of it.
And it...</description>

            <title>Storms From the Cloud</title>

            <description>Given the analogy between actual clouds and computer clouds, it now seems appropriate to extend the concept to storms that those clouds may bring. This was illustrated recently (April 21, 2011) when Amazon had a cloud outage (a mixed metaphor no doubt) in their Amazon Web Services business. This situation was covered by the NY Times (here), and the professional computer press (here) among others. As a result of Amazon&amp;#8217;s problems some Web sites were reported to be down for as long as 11 hours, although actual loss of previously stored information has seemingly not been part of the problem&amp;#8211;this time. However there is a related question for any new data that was or should have been generated during the outage. Where is it, and will the gap be properly filled in retroactively?

            <description>Lev Gonick, CIO of Case Western Reserve University, has written 2011: The Year Ahead in IT, a fresh perspective looking forward instead of back. There are many parallels to healthcare.
1. The Big Picture: The State of the Global Economy and What It Means for IT on U.S. College Campuses (or, globalization and localization). He says that universities are tied to the cities they live in and community partnerships are crucial for global competitiveness. The same could be said for urban and academic medical centers.
2. How do you spell opportunity? A-U-S-T-E-R-I-T-Y (shared services and entrepreneurship).  With greater austerity in health care, shared services and making IT a profit center through entrepreneurship are key to IT survival in healthcare as well.
3. Operational Excellence Is Goo...</description>

            <description>Google recently released its public data explorer which combines the Google visualization tools with public datasets include population data and health data. For healthcare, the initial launch includes Sexually Transmitted Diseases in the U.S. and Cancer cases in the U.S. The charts allow selection by state and time options. For these two charts, CDC data sources are used.
So could this data explorer be used more broadly with other health data sets. For starters, those at Data.gov (although most of the health data sets are Medicare cost data). But could major disease registries open themselves up to this API so that medical researchers could visualize more data sources and generate more research questions more quickly.  This could be one solution for the for the lethal lag time.  The CDC...</description>

            <description>I recently completed this book by Ken Auletta who promotes his unique access to the search engine giant. The books follow the history of Google from the earliest days of the founders at Stanford, to rocketing to fame, going public and then being labeled as the evil empire. More recently, he chronicles conflicts with the government, traditional media, traditional advertising, publishers and China. He leaves with Google at a crossroads of maturing founders which he suggests may be losing focus, competitors in social media, and ongoing challenges from Microsoft and others.
The book describes each new major app and the process and culture of building new tools and keeping them free. Only two pages are devoted to Google Health, however. Generally, the books focuses much more on the advertising ...</description>

            <description>If your like me, having 5 e-mail accounts, a couple of websites, wikis, several calendars and address books it&amp;#8217;s hard to keep everything in sync. Cloud computing or living in the Cloud has it’s benefits. Cloud Computing refers to Internet-centric software and services that are outsourced to someone else and in this case to Google. Everything is on the servers of google and you can access it from anywhere with a browser when connected to the Internet.
Advatages of cloud computing with Google:

it’s free or cheap, for 50 dollars a year you get support
back up
up time of 99%
platform and browser agnostic
constant improvements
someone els is responsible for the hardware
reliability
you can share your information.

            <description>What will the Web Look Like in 5 years? Gartner presented Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google to talk about the future. Some of his key points include:

Five years from now the internet will be dominated by Chinese-language content.
Today&amp;#8217;s teenagers are the model of how the web will work in five years &amp;#8211; they jump from app to app to app seamlessly.
Five years is a factor of ten in Moore&amp;#8217;s Law, meaning that computers will be capable of far more by that time than they are today.

He also talks about being trapped in a 1980s architecture. I heard a webinar demo of an app today which uses client-server technology. It seems to me that any application which does not use the web with AJAX and hosted on a virtual server is old technology and not something that should be supported.

            <description>Gartner's Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies includes an evaluation of cloud computing. They view cloud computing as being at the Peak of Inflated Expectations. While companies look to the cloud for cost effective solutions, &quot;The levels of hype around cloud computing in the IT industry are deafening, with every vendor expounding its cloud strategy...&quot; Another post on the Emerge Blog, sees cloud computing as a promise without hype noting three cloud based models:
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)This is a helpful formulation especially since so many platforms are becoming available in the Cloud and specifically in health care: Google Health and Healthvault to mention just two.

            <title>Public and Private Clouds - Health Information Exchange (HIE)</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2695454&amp;cid=t_178412_113_f&amp;fid=34631&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fehealth.johnwsharp.com%2F2009%2F08%2F13%2Fpublic-and-private-clouds--health-information-exchange-hie.aspx%3Fref%3Drss</link>
            <description>In healthcare, there has been hesitancy to consider cloud computing in spite of the promise of funding for electronic medical records and perhaps HIE.&amp;nbsp; The main issues in cloud computing and EMRs are security and availability. Security is governed by HIPAA including the upcoming regulations on data breaches. Security of EMRs and PHRs is also key in maintaining public trust in EMRs and by implication, medical practices. Availability is key as well as medical practices become dependent on real-time data from EMRs for medical decision making. Can the cloud provide the security and availability/reliabity for EMRs? Alternatively, are EMRs now becoming private clouds which can potentially interact with the public cloud, such as in the case of disease registries and public health initiatives...</description>

            <title>Gearing up for cloud services</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2190637&amp;cid=t_178412_113_f&amp;fid=34933&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fpalmdoc.net%2F%3Fp%3D2207</link>
            <description>It seems PalmOS is officially dead. The Palm Centro will be the last device produced by Palm to run on Garnet (PalmOS version 5.x) so says Ed Colligan recently. The future is WebOS and this is what the latest PDA phone from Palm, the Palm Pre, will run on.
One of the Palm Pre&amp;#8217;s radical changes is the departure from traditional Desktop sync and the reliance on data sync over the &amp;#8220;cloud&amp;#8221;. This means syncing with data on Exchange as well as pulling data from services like Google and even getting contact information from Facebook etc.
As someone who has been syncing only with Desktop PCs all this time, this is somewhat a major departure from what I am used to. I thought I might experiment a bit more with getting my PIM data synced using &amp;#8220;cloud services&amp;#8221;.

            <description>&quot;AWS hopes to provide researchers across a variety of disciplines and industries with tools to enable more innovation, more quickly&quot; [Public data on AWS]If you are interested in cloud computing and storage then you will be delighted that Amazon offers support to the science community. Though appreciated, do I think that the information provided for the data sets is very sparse, e.g. which conformer generation was used for the chemistry data sets? How exactly was the UGI dataset created?Anyway, this sounds similar to the computing and storage solution of Google, called MapReduce and GFS. I do not know enough about it to understand the technical differences between the frameworks of Amazon and Google, but both are used to work with tons of data. As announced by Amazon would users (or compan...</description>

            <description>A new Web 2.0 company, Drop.io, has its infrastructure virtually through Amazon making it totally dependent on the Cloud for hosting. Are there pros and cons to this? They see mostly pros - highly available, meet unpredictable growth needs, limit startup expenses, treat storage like the commodity it is. They like the variable cost as a start up as opposed to fixed costs. Maybe there is a lesson for Health 2.0 startups here.Technorati: Cloud Computing (Source: eHealth)</description>

            <description>&quot;The best way to predict the future is to invent it.&quot;This phrase describes the future of cloud computing and more specifically, information storage and retrieval. Predictions from Google:By 2019, parallel-processing computer clusters will be 50 to 100 times more powerful we'll also see a rush of new devices customized to particular
applications, and more environmental sensors and actuators, all sending
and receiving data via the cloud.computer systems will have greater opportunity to learn from the collective behavior of billions of humansResearchers across medical and scientific fields can access massive
data sets and run analysis and pattern detection algorithms that aren't
possible today.There are likely other implications for health care, such as, accessing the the cloud (or a secure a...</description>

            <description>This article poses the question of whether the traditional measures of availability, five 9's, is outmoded. If the primary data sources like Google maps and others have significant reliability, do the applications themselves have reliable hosting and application stability to provide this kind of availability?

            <description>This post on the concept of a personal cloud focuses on the integration of the iPhone, Google tools and the cloud. How about a personal cloud for managing health? In his presentation on Google Health at HIMSS in February, Eric Schmidt envisioned storing health information, including all the xrays taken this year in the&amp;nbsp; Cloud so that they would be accessible from anywhere. Interesting concept. First, Google Health should be available via the iPhone. Next, the clound should allow connection to your data and health information and tools from anywhere and on any device.Finally, the personal cloud must be secure.Also mentioned is an Mac program called Getting Things Done.

            <description>The latest issue of Wired magazine includes a series of articles lead by the editor Chris Anderson's article, &quot;The End of Theory: The Data Deluge Makes the Scientific Method Obsolete.&quot; In Wired's usually controversial approach to topics, he leads off with the quote, &quot;All models are wrong, but some are useful.&quot; In the petabyte age, we move from local storage to storage in the cloud and &quot;information is not a matter of simple three- and four-dimensional taxonomy and order but of dimensionally agnostic statistics.&quot;He sites one medical example, he cites Craig Vetner who &quot;went from sequencing individual organisms to sequencing entire ecosystems.&quot; He proposes that &quot;We can analyze the data without hypotheses about what it might show.&quot;Do these rash statements have relevance to health care?

            <description>At JavaOne, one of the big announcements was a hookup between Amazon, specifically EC2, and OpenSolaris (finally generally released as a full open source OS). The collaboration between Amazon and OpenSolaris will give customers access to OpenSolaris (for feree) and MySQL premium technical support, and more. The key selling points are ZFS and D-Trace. Now, I am a big Linux guy, but options are always good and enterprise relationships/partnerships are just a sign of the maturing and relevance of cloud computing.

Of course, that also means that the hype and crazy headlines are going to become unbearable
