Wow, what a great, and candid answer! "Glorified accounting systems" sounds about right!

my point too, EMRs are often expensive paper with little benefit, Drs didnt go to med school to be data entry clerks

Amen! And their resistance to change is nuts. And there's the fact that many health systems are millions of dollars in so they feel stuck. Blow up those legacy EMRs and let's get patient data to work for physicians so it can work for patients! . #eWEEKChat

@HarmonyHIT, we develop a medical record storage platform called @HlthDataArchive that includes single sign-on from the active EHR to make historical medical record lookup quick and easy for doctors. This helps relieve some of the frustrations

@suzanneclough Blow up is right. Too much risk lingering in legacy EMRs. Prime targets for data breach.

Good one!

have a look at Healthy Nevada, it might give you some encouragement

-So true, the fact I get a ad for something in 2.2 seconds that is dead on vs current state and where healthcare will be driven with IT - the sky is the limit!

I'll answer with a question: Do we need more consumer data feeds so there's more data to predict what a person would do? I take 10,000+ steps in a day, I buy more whole foods than processed, I meditate for 20+ minutes.... Then we know more about the person to predict

Lots to talk about going back to laws of biology (highly stochastic) vs physics and math. But there is a way to do more.. lots more!

“Take 2 Aspirin which will be delivered by 9pm tonight & call Dr. Chris in the morning between your 11 am and Noon meetings when the temperature will be 78F & I’ll play ‘Fever’ on the audio system.” #Cortana #Alexa #Siri composite. 😄

Risks to these records at scale or only increasing as our digital threat surface area continues to expand.

@Saif_Abed Great point! An article from @SecurityHIT said that @CorvusInsurance reported a 350% increase in ransomware attacks on healthcare providers in Q42019 compared to Q42018.

- #PrecisionMedicine requires large data sets to accurately predict which prevention strategies might work for a particular disease in certain populations. Historic data is important to feed such tooling

100%

The global issue I find is to often vendors develop a solution for one systems workflows while thinking all clinicians globally practice the same way - not the case!

@Saif_Abed - true, always a careful balance of providing best practice workflows vs the ability to customize deeply

Thanks!

- Thank you so much for the opportunity!

security needs to be ingrained in technology and the culture. It is not a detractor but is a differentiator!

So IT will lead the way to this new-gen personalized medicine. It has to!

I know they've done interesting work in NY previously for flu outbreaks.
