What EHR/PM vendors should do as 63% of buyers look to replace existing PM solutions
Melissa McCormack, a medical researcher with EHR consultancy group Software Advice, recently published their medical practice management BuyerView research, which found that 63% of the buyers were replacing existing PM solutions, rather than making a first-time purchase. This mirrors the trend we’ve seen across medical software purchasing, where the HITECH Act may have prompted hasty first purchases of EHR solutions, followed by replacements 1-2 years later.

Guest Article: HL7 FAQ and why exchanging critical patient data isn ’t a nightmare
I recently saw a demo of the Decisions.com platform and left impressed with the workflow engine, business rules execution, forms automation, and data integration platform. I’m very familiar with almost all the major HL7 routers and integration engines out there but Carl Hewitt, Founder and Chief Architect at Decisions, is releasing something fairly unique — an visual HL7 interface definition and integration platform for use by analysts and non-technical personnel charged with healthcare data connectivity across business workflows.

Guest Article: What EHR buyers and health IT vendors can learn from the Nashville market
Zach Watson over at Technology Advice.com wrote a nice piece on EHR Trends in Nashville. I’m not a big fan of “trends” articles because trends aren’t that important, the implications of those trends and how to operationalize the implications are most important. I enjoyed Zach’s article so I asked him to tell us what those trends mean for EHR buyers and health IT vendors writ large. Here’s what Zach said: (Source: The Healthcare IT Guy)

Guest Article: Is Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) trustworthy enough to use in health record banks?
The push towards shifting the patient ’s role from a passive recipient of care to an active member of the care-team looks set to gain further legislative backing. Earlier this year, the Health IT Standards Committee, along with The Joint Commission and ONC, laid out recommendations for integrating patient generated health data (PGHD) into Stage 3 Meaningful Use requirements. To see what this might mean to health IT and med tech vendors, I reached out to Zach Watson of TechnologyAdvice, who covers EHR related news, along with business intelligence, and other topics.

The first question I asked him was “what’s the difference between mHealth and telemedicine?” Basically not hing, he said — but, he noted that the mobile health or mHealth movement and nomenclature has been very useful to the telemedical industry and he welcomed the comparisons.
