Re: Apps
@Michelle, indeed! And the records get lost along the way. That goes to the issue of interoperability - of which does not exist. So it is a bridge to nowhere.

Re: Apps
I have a friend who sells this type of software to doctors and hospitals etc. One of the issues he encounters is mere lack of interest by the administration and doctors themselves. It creates a ton of work for them when they are already drowning in paperwork and administrative tasks already. As Peter Gibbons said in Office Space: "It's a problem of motivation."

Re: Apps
Software is not always the answer for making things seem more efficient-- esp if the end users are doctors. I know at least one doctor I've met said he was thinking about retiring because he just didn't want to deal with entering all his notes into a computer instead of whatever he's been doing for decades.

Re: Apps
I think it's telling that Google tried to create an Individual Health Record (IHR) with Google Health -- but then shut it down shortly after it launched.

It's difficult to get healthcare providers AND patients to move to a standardized platform because the incentives are all over the map. Insurers and patients and doctors and hospitals.. all have different motivations and incentives for using a tech platform to store and communicate health data. So I think I'm not that optimistic about any PHR/IHR/EHR system that isn't backed by a coalition of insurance agencies, govt agencies and hospitals....

Re: Apps
@mhhf1ve, understand your points and they are good ones. That's right, I have already forgotten about GoogleApps.
I believe you have the right focal point - with a centralized data exchange capability (ie Standards) like with Government payor (ie Medicare), etc. The one common denominator there is payment - and we now have coding standards - so they can build claims data first and then core clinical data exchange. The other key point is to allow the multiple providers, as you point out, the opportunity to "view" their patient data with their own preferences, but have a core taxonomy that links with key clinical data.
It will take time, but it can get there!

Re: Apps
@batye, I agree if your meaning of technology includes the data management, the stakeholders, and the industry itself. I believe the technology is already there. Here in the US the fragmented healthcare system has no network design and you have multiple stakeholders launching their own solutions and then there is a disconnect between one system and another. There is no overarching network, so the vendors have built systems that meet "individual" provider interests and needs.
What it needs, and there are those in the industry advancing this, are data standards that can enable those different systems to relate to one another, stakeholders that recognize the importance of responsibly sharing that information, and an industry that treats the data as part of "care".
