We have expensive, complex systems that few providers are able and willing to use, which means patient care is traded for financial analytics that only profit insurance and government payers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03356254172151731030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-55941118157314480572016-05-22T09:32:13.960-07:002016-05-22T09:32:13.960-07:00"Products were rushed to market and they were..."Products were rushed to market and they were not as usable or as intuitive as we’d like"..I like to call this scenario "The Sebelius Syndrome":) I call it that as we all remember Healthcare.Gov and how it was pushed to market before it's time and now of all things she's slated to be a "guest speaker" at the ONC annual meeting? What's this world coming too I could ask? We definitely have a world of real world versus the virtual world going on with a lot of what you mentioned. There are other examples too, but nobody will forget that one:)<br /><br />On the sharing portions of the entire scheme, consumers have been robbed of the option to say "ok" with all the data selling taking place for profit as well. HIPAA is such as mess and has become so "wordy" how in the world do you "really" know what compliance is? <br /><br />There's a lot of "Health IT" fat out there that's not leading to better care and happier doctors, we all know that and at some point there's an important question to ask I think when it comes to technology that may go something like this "Is this a need to have or a like to have" as Health IT has its part today with increase what we pay for care as well as the high price of drugs. <br /><br />With much of what gets developed in Silicon Valley with healthcare apps and software, I see an over abundance of "risk assessments" for profit that somehow also get marketed as a potential "diagnosis", and the two are not the same, as risk does not mean you have the ultimate diagnosis all the time:) <br /><br />In my opinion, there seems to be way too much of the methodologies of the McKinsey Consultant influence today in healthcare, and if you read any of the books about the company, this comment might make a little more sense:)Medical Quackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12443589277651479846noreply@blogger.com
