Kibbe MD, MBA Over the past several years, many diverse initiatives have arisen offering partial solutions to systemic problems in the U.S. health care non-system.  We see Meaningful Use Criteria recommended by the HIT Policy Committee as a unifying force for these previously disparate initiatives. These initiatives have included: Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs)/Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) Payer Disease/Care Management Programs Personal Health Record Platforms — Google Health, Microsoft HealthVault, Dossia, health banks, more to come State/Regional Chronic Care Programs (e.g., Colorado, Pennsylvania, Improving Performance in Practice) Accountable Care Organizations — the n... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2699695 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:41:48 +0100 2699695 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2033029&cid=t_114190_114_f&fid=34646&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fsbwv.com%2Fpdf%2FThe_Rise_of_the_PHR_AHLA.pdf Conclusion PHRs bring a new dimension to the debate over how to create an interoperable health information network. The shift of power into the hands of patients could bring about a sustainable model. Before proceeding with the expansion of PHRs, the legal implications that go along with such an adoption should be addressed.

Kibbe, MD, MBA Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. Like most Americans, Goldilocks had concerns about achieving just the right amount of data liquidity for her personal health information (PHI). Until today Goldilocks felt between a rock and a hard place: "I want my PHI to be appropriately liquid — just the right viscosity. My PHI should be viscous enough to flow to my trusted health care providers to use to improve my health and health care. “Today my PHI is frozen and inaccessible — it’s too cold. “But I’m worried about the other extreme — the risks of using a personal health record (PHR). The privacy/security advocates tell me that I should be concerned about my PHI being too hot — like ... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1546873 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:28:20 +0100 1546873 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1378034&cid=t_114190_113_f&fid=35744&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2Fe-CareManagement%2F%7E3%2F271808586%2F Vince Kuraitis and David C. Kibbe, MD MBA  Tomorrow’s edition of the New England Journal of Medicine contains an article entitled “Tectonic Shifts in the Health Information Economy”.  While we have not yet fully digested this article, it’s clear that the authors’ description of the “Health Information Economy” closely parallels our initial description of the Personal Health Information Network (PHIN).  The main thrust of the NEJM article is to discuss implications (good and bad) relating to clinical research. The NEJM article is also highlighted in a New York Times piece entitled “Warning on Storage of Health Records.” In anticipation of our webinar tomorrow sponsored by Healthcare Informatics, we wanted to bring these articles to your attention ASAP.  As a f... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1378034 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:52:48 +0100 1378034 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1362487&cid=t_114190_113_f&fid=35744&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2Fe-CareManagement%2F%7E3%2F267383423%2F What are companies like Google, Microsoft, and Dossia (sponsored by Intel, Wal-Mart, AT&T and others) hoping to accomplish in health care? What is the emerging Personal Health Information Network (PHIN) and why should you care? What’s the Continuity of Care Record (CCR) Standard, and how is it destined to become an initial focal point of data exchange initiatives? Why is the PHIN potentially disruptive to many business models? What types of companies or organizations could be affected the most? What are opportunities and threats to major health care players — hospitals, physicians, health plans, enterprise HIT vendors, ambulatory HIT vendors, and others? What specific actions can you take to be a leader in advancing the PHIN and positioning your company for success? ... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1362487 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 01:46:20 +0100 1362487 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=781246&cid=t_114190_113_f&fid=34625&url=http%3A%2F%2Fclinicalit.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F08%2Fanother-phr-story.html The last of my three features on personal health records has been published, in the August issue of Health Executive.So here are the links:"Getting Personal."

And yet the public has barely noticed that the era of people tracking their own medical history has arrived.Dr. David Kibbe, a former director of the Center for Health Information Technology of the American Academy of Family Physicians, estimates that perhaps 10 percent of adults in the United States will have access to PHRs by the end of...
