Why do specific information technologies succeed or fail to take hold in health care? Numerous health information technologies have failed because they fought entrenched economic interests; did not account for the complexities involved in clinical medicine; were not technically flexible; represented expensive, turn-key installations of thick-client applications; added rather than reduced workload for physicians and staff; and did not engage most important stakeholders in the systems, namely patients. Are Web 2.0 architectures sufficiently different to neutralize the technical, economic and cultural obstacles that have kept health care the least wired of all major US industries?
This session will provide an overview of the history and current prospects for various types of health care information technologies, and will show how the success of each is dependent on:
Alignment with entrenched economic interests
Alignment with or deep reduction of clinical workload
A centrally hosted architecture for rapid installation and ease of technical support
Successful navigation (or avoidance) of the standards quagmire
Engagement of patients in the end-process
This session will portray the chronic struggle to digitize health care as an essentially economic one created by third-party payment. Who will broker patient information and connect this brokering to the broader care delivery process? Those marketing new therapies, those providing them, those paying for them - or some combination of all three?
We've just started recording the weekly Informatics Conferences (brown bags) we have here in the department. Here's the video from the latest:
