Over the past month, there's been debate and discussion surrounding the list, via our social media outlets and in our reader comments posted on the Healthcare IT News site. Here are the five misconceptions Merrill included: read more (Source: Healthcare IT News Blog) Healthcare IT News Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5181979 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:45:12 +0100 5181979 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5062337&cid=t_259041_113_f&fid=38236&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthcareitnews.com%2Fblog%2Fdownside-patient-centered-medical-homes-social-media-conversations Last week, Diana Manos, senior editor at Healthcare IT News, reported on the importance of patient-centered medical homes. She covered the annual National Health IT and Delivery System Transformation Summit, which displayed how PCMH can greatly reduce costs and improve care. One of her sources, James Dearing, DO, a family practice physician, outlined four benefits of a patient-centered home.

I think it’s been fun to highlight some short Healthcare IT and EMR related tweets that people might find interesting. With a little bit of commentary of my own (let me know if you disagree). Today, I decided I’d just go with a small quote from a comment that Chris Paton made over on Neil Versel’s Meaningful Healthcare IT News. Here it is: We’re a long way from getting rid of doctors but they might find their role changes from being repository of all knowledge to being a trusted communicator and carer. I’d been trying to summarize this position in a coherent way and I think Chris hit it on the head. Not only the part about being a long way from getting rid of doctors, but his desc...

If you follow me on twitter (@techguy and @ehrandhit), then you’ve probably already come across one or more of the great blogs in this new healthcare IT blog network. I’m really excited with the group of bloggers that I have working on the network and the amazing content they’ve been creating and will create. Before I introduce you to the various websites on the network, here’s a little background in why I decided to do this. As I looked at the various healthcare IT and EMR bloggers producing content, I was disappointed that many of them were creating great content that wasn’t getting nearly as much attention and traffic as the conten...

Plus, it’s Friday, so I think I’ll wait until next week or after HIMSS to officially launch it. It’s going to be really cool and bring out some interesting independent voices in Healthcare IT. Until then, if you want to see the latest news coming out of HIMSS, you should head over to our recently launched EMR and Healthcare IT news site. It’s been hopping and with my wife’s help it will stay well updated during and after HIMSS with the latest news. Also, I came across the idea of using Foursquare at HIMSS. I thought that sounded like a good way to start using Foursquare. Plus, then more people will be able to find me in order to win a Free HD TV at HIMSS. So, i...

Here’s a small portion of the article: Providers report a demonstrable return on their speech recognition dollars, according to a new report from KLAS. Participants of the study indicated benefits of speech recognition such as staff reductions, improved report turnaround times and increased physician satisfaction. “The speech recognition market is ripe for healthy growth,” said Ben Brown, author of the report. “Currently, less than one in four hospitals use the technology, however, in light of meaningful use and the benefits providers point out in this study, we expect it will assume a more prominent place in the role of clin...

Of course, I think the writer at Healthcare IT news must have had a deadline or something since the paper written by Google engineers Shirley Gaw and Umesh Shankar about representing “Individual Health Records” that are aggregating from “multiple sources” which sounds a lot more like a PHR to me than an EHR That minor verbiage aside, it’s hard for me to imagine Google Wave used as a PHR or an EHR. Ok, I get the idea that it would be interesting to see all the clinical data elements added to a patients history in real time (basically what Google Wave does). This is an innovation that is needed. I just think that re-a... EMR and HIPAA blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3876753 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 05:40:03 +0100 3876753
