Many of the health IT innovations today are happening on the back of health data.  I don’t think anyone would disagree that future health IT innovations are going to rely on high quality data.  However, what happens when there are reasons you can’t or don’t want to share that data?  What happens when multiple organizations want to share data without compromising the privacy of that data?  Is synthetic data a solution to some of these problems?  

These are some of the challenging questions I discuss with Josh Rubel, Chief Commercial Officer at MDClone.  Rubel shares some great insights into the value we’re gleaning from data in healthcare and the role this data is going to play as we move to value based care and risk based contracts.  Then, we dive into how synthetic data can help in these efforts.  He shares some of the benefits and the challenges with synthetic data including times where synthetic data doesn’t work because it would actually put privacy at risk.  Check out the interview below to see how synthetic data can help your healthcare organization.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) was growing before COVID and it's gaining even more traction since.  However, many people underestimate what it takes to really do RPM and CCM well.  To learn more about what it takes to do these well, we sat down with Josh Claman, CEO of Rimidi.  We discuss how he sees the RPM market going (disease specific RPM or all in one RPM).  We also discuss who should be managing the process and what reimbursement is still needed to make RPM better.  Plus, we talk about their work with SMART on FHIR and the challenge of healthcare interoperability.
