Providers Press Vendors for Medical Device Interoperability
The adoption of interoperablity… will increase the rate of adoption of new clinical technology and corresponding improvements in patient care.
History of Medical Device Connectivity for CIS
As CIS applications started to become more pervasive, many vendors entered this market with various point solutions for medical device connectivity.
First Connectivity Cover Story in Leading HIT Mag
This is health care we’re talking about so there was also mention in the story of resistance to change, especially on the part of providers.
Medical Device Start Ups and Connectivity
Much like solving the original problem with an innovative product design, finding an answer to the connectivity problem starts with asking the right questions.
Medical Device Interoperability Lags Behind Technological Capacity
Yours truly was quoted in an article in FDC Reports’ newsletter The Gray Sheet (subscription only) last week about connectivity. The story was inspired by a comment from Bill Crounse, the director of Worldwide Health at Microsoft, during the World Healthcare Innovation and Technology Congress held in Washington, D.C., earlier this month. He said, “”I […]
EMR Connectivity for Medical Devices Is a Mess
Yours truly was quoted in a HealthLeaders technology story about, you guessed it, medical device connectivity.
Information technology consultant Tim Gee has a nontechnical description of the current state of connecting medical devices to clinical information systems: “It’s a mess.” Not that direct data capture from medical devices is impossible; some hospitals have been exporting data […]
Medical Device Connectivity and EMRs - Why Bother?
I found a blog reader’s email in my inbox this morning. It seems not everyone at his hospital is keen on investing in medical device connectivity. He wrote about a near term need for connectivity to a planned EMR. Sadly, medical device connectivity is sort of the Rodney Dangerfield of EMR deployments, frequently an afterthought […]
Panel Discussion: Clinical Need for Interoperability
The following is a continuation from the the Improving Patient Safety through Medical Device Interoperability and High Confidence Software joint workshop last week in Boston. I’ve got a bunch more notes that I’ll be tweaking and posting this week. This next bit is from a panel discussion that described the need for high confidence systems […]
