The ONC has been busy. A lot to keep track of this year. We start with USCDI V3.

IBM Watson in healthcare will be a case study for the next century in business schools. It is a textbook case of what not to do when entering a market. Today ends the odd journey of IBM Watson in healthcare. Not that Watson is gone, it just has new ownership. Will this be a good thing? Most likely. We will have to keep an eye on this.

January 24, 2022: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesboicey/ (Charles Boicey) from https://clearsense.com/ (Clearsense) joins Bill for the news today. Truveta and LexisNexis Risk Solutions partner to advance health equity and health research quality. Traditional research rarely has access to social determinants of health or mortality data since 65% of people die outside the hospital. ONC publishes TEFCA details and FHIR roadmap. Trilliant Health discuss the data behind Z codes for social determinants of health. German Bionic releases new wearable AI robotic suits that boost human strength - taking human augmentation to new levels. And Bill and Charles put on their CIO and CTO hats respectively to discuss the clinical and IT labor shortage plus how do we create a platform and mindset of bringing the data and integration points together and setting it up so that the entrepreneurial community can innovate with us?

Key Points:

00:00:00 - Intro

00:07:40 - It's been challenging for medical research to include participants representative of the diversity of our country

00:10:10 - Mortality data is notoriously hit and miss

00:15:50 - HIN should collaborate with stakeholders across the continuum of care, to electronically exchange digital health information, even when a stakeholder may be a business competitor

The digital front door is the front lines of the digital health battle. Whoever controls it will steer the patient and garner the benefits. How are we doing?

Today, this will likely be the last day of individual presentations from the JPM Non-Profit track. Don't forget to check out This Week Conference where Rob DeMichiei, Former CFO for UPMC and I discuss the conference in detail this Friday. Hope you enjoy.

Time to go through my notes and pull some of the interesting ideas from the various health systems that might spark some thinking for you at your health system. Today, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, CommonSpiriti and Bon Secours Mercy. Hope you enjoy.

Today I dive into my notebook from the JP Morgan 2022 Conference. We look at Ascension, Intermountain and Advocate Aurora. Hope you enjoy.

January 17, 2022: https://www.linkedin.com/in/logancm/ (Chris Logan), Senior Vice President and Chief Security Officer at https://www.censinet.com/ (Censinet) joins Bill for the news. Transcarent, a digital health platform for self-insured employers, closed a $200 million series C funding round with players like Northwell, Intermountain and Rush. Will telemedicine evolve to a dynamic and preferred experience or have we cut and pasted the traditional doctor’s office experience into the computer screen and left it at that? Plus highlights from the JP Morgan Conference. Moderna’s earnings were excellent. Sinovac went from slightly in the red in 2020 to 5.1 billion net income in 2021. Ascension is ready to take more risk when it comes to value-based payment models. And Intermountain Healthcare touted its acquisition-fueled shift away from fee-for-service care.

Key Points:

00:00:00 - Intro

00:11:15 - Transcarent is going to change the experience employees have with their employer benefits

00:15:10 - We assume everybody understands how to navigate healthcare but they don't

00:21:30 - A health system should become a partner in health care as opposed to a partner in sick care

00:26:45 - How do we really transform what telemedicine looks like?

The money is nice but the strategic partnership is ringing in my ears.

What are the themes from healthcare leaders as we enter 2022. Labor Supply chains, customer centricity, strong balance sheets are among them. Today we look at the Baylor Scott and White presentation to explore themes around customer centricity.
