What it is – How it Works
[By Staff Reporters]
Phreesia is an intentional misspelling of a flower (Freesia) and is a medical office access management product that replaces a physician’s traditional patient data-gathering clipboard with a free easy-to-use wireless touch-screen device called a PhreesiaPad. Everything else required [absent the broadband internet connection], including a wireless network, is supplied by the company
Customizable
Patient interviews can be as short or as long as desired by the physician. On average, a patient interview will take anywhere from 2 to 6 minutes. The PhreesiaPads come with a built-in tracking device as well as multiple anti-theft warning signs to prevent theft. The PhreesiaPad does not operate outside a physician’s office. They are reportedly very durable and rugged. However, if one does happen to break, it is replaced free of charge

Assessment
Phreesia is not a substitute for clinician-patient dialogue. However, patients often find it easier to confide sensitive information to a computer than directly to a clinician (i.e. alcohol use, drug use, psychiatric evaluation, depression, etc.). Additionally, Phreesia encourages a more structured, meaningful clinician-patient conversation by better preparing providers and better informing patients in advance of every visit.

More on Emerging HIT,
We are all aware of the eHR initiatives of Uncle Sam, CCHIT; and others.
But, according to Wendy Everett, vice-president of communications for the New England Healthcare Institute (NEHI), many emerging HIT technologies exist but are unknown, underfunded and/or have little chance for development.
For instance, she cites no fewer than 11 promising telemedicine technologies, with the potential to vastly improve chronic care delivery, that have recently been identified by a partnership of the New England Healthcare Institute and the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. Called the Fast Adoption of Significant Technologies (FAST) initiative, the partnership seeks to identify, assess and aid in the adoption of transformational health care innovations.
The 11 technologies identified in the latest FAST research, ranging from next-generation medication adherence systems to advanced tele-stroke technologies, could transform chronic care by providing better coordination, ensuring timely access to treatments and reducing costs.
Yet, these valuable existing technologies, like countless others out-there, both known and as yet unknown, are languishing as chronic disease consumes 75 percent of the nation’s $2 trillion in health care costs.
In short, we need to better promote both public and private; acute care, operations, communications and management HIT innovation.
