Slide Presentation: Patient Data Sharing –NOT Hoarding–is the New Normal
by Leslie Kelly Hall and Vince Kuraitis
Looking in the rear view mirror, many healthcare providers have viewed patient data as “their asset”, something to be controlled–not shared.
In a previous THCB article, we described 7 reasons why hoarding is a poor business strategy:
Data Hoarding Doesn’t Work — It Doesn’t Lock-In Patients or Build AffinityConvenience is King in Patient Selection of ProvidersLoyalty is Declining, Shopping is IncreasingProviders Have a Decreasingly Small “Share” of Patient DataProviders Don’t Want to Become a Lightning Rod in the “Techlash” BacklashHoarding Works Against...

The Business Case for Health Data Sharing
Day-by-day, the business case for data sharing is growing stronger. In this essay, I’ll describe how COVID-19 is accelerating existing healthcare trends, how data sharing is becoming a key business strategy, and how you can learn more about these developments.
COVID-19 Accelerates Existing Trends
This might surprise you — one result of COVID-19 isn’t so much a new normal as it is the acceleration of pre-existing trends. Andreasen Horowitz venture capitalist Julie Yoo wrote about this in her masterful article: Healthcare: The Great Unlock.

Health Data Unbound Virtual Conference
While there have been many events on interoperability and data sharing, what’s unique here is our focus on the BUSINESS rationale for health data sharing. • The bases of competition in healthcare are shifting to competing on quality, cost, and patient experience. This shift creates a business imperative to share information, not to hoard it. • Hoarding data is not only bad for business but can be catastrophic in a crisis. • Data of all kinds has an important role in public health, logistics management, and the healthcare supply chain. • The patient’s role is critical in coordinating their own care, testing, res...

Hotspotting, Superutilizers, and Avoiding “RTM Traps”
Be wary of falling into an RTM Trap when working with superutilizers. RTM can be especially pronounced in this group of patients.

Hotspotting, Superutilizers, and Avoiding "RTM Traps”
By Thomas Wilson PhD, DrPH and Vince Kuraitis
A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine reported on the results of a “hotspotting” program created by the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers (Camden Coalition). Hotspotting targets interventions at all or a subset of healthcare superutilizers – the 5% of patients that account for 50% of annual healthcare spending.
The results of the study were disappointing. While utilization (hospital readmissions) declined for the hotspotting group, the declines were almost identical in the control group. At least three headlines implied that the conclusi...

Health Data Outside HIPAA: Simply Extending HIPAA Would Be a #FAIL
Some have called on policymakers to extend HIPAA to cover mHealth apps and other online platforms.
In the latest post in our series — “The Health Data Goldilocks Dilemma: Sharing? Privacy? Both?” — Deven McGraw and I argue that extending HIPAA is not a viable solution.
In summary:
HIPAA’s rules were not designed to address privacy risks introduced by widespread personal information collection and use in the modern digital ecosystem.
HIPAA’s rules were designed to support information flows within the health care system and allow for broad uses and disclosures of data by both covered entitie...
