Dictionary of Health Information Technology and Security
Posted on January 13, 2021 by Editor-in-Chief
ADVERTISEMENT
Whither the “Dictionary of Health Information Technology and Security?”
A simple query that demands a cogent answer!
There is a myth that all stakeholders in the healthcare space understand the meaning of basic information technology jargon. In truth, the vernacular of contemporary medical information systems is unique, and often misused or misunderstood. It is sometimes altogether confounding.
Terms such as, “RSS”, “eHRs”, “DRAM”, “ROM”, “USB”, “PDA”, “NPI”, “CCHIT”, and “DNS” are common acronyms, but is their meaning AND functionality truly understood?

Attention Texas Dental Patients
Posted on December 24, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief
Attention Texas Dental Patients
[You should read this]
Darrell K. Pruitt DDS
***
At a uniquely critical time in history, as dentists strive to keep their patients out of emergency rooms, pharmacists here in Fort Worth are telling dentists that the Texas State Board of Pharmacy has outlawed paper prescriptions – even for antibiotics.
***
According to three local pharmacists, on January 1, 2021 many dentists – including myself – will no longer be allowed to prescribe medications without digital records, no matter the urgency. As a dentist, I neither need nor want digital records, and as a patient, you shouldn’t either. Let me show you third-party nonsense which does NOTHING to improve patient care.
***
According to Protenus Breach Barometer, between April and June of 2017, 142 healthcare data breaches were reported, impacting 3.14 million records. 23 of the incidents involved paper, affecting 158,711 records. 158,711 divided by 3,140,000 = 5%.
***
***
This means that if your dentist put your identifying information on a computer, you had a 95% greater chance of medical identity theft than if your paper records were stored in a metal filing cabinet. In the last three years, the breaches have only worsened, cyber-crime is growing stronger every day, and most importantly, there are no solutions on the horizon. I ask you, why should any healthcare provider be forced by the state to knowingly risk Texans’ welfare?
***
Electronic dental records – both cloud-based and premises-based – are not only increasingly more expensive and increasingly more dangerous than paper for both dentists and patients, but they offer patients NO TANGIBLE BENEFITS over paper.
Just ask anyone.
***
But there’s more. Electronic dental records (which do nothing to improve care) also require far more training and specialized expertise than the working knowledge of alphabetical order required for filing charts in their correct place. Dental EHRs are first and foremost billing tools which not only shift the high cost of data entry from insurers back to dentists (read “patients”), but enable the really clever CEOs to control treatment decisions by employing strategic complexities for payment. All that digital offers dentists is convenience – expensive, dangerous convenience.
***
If Texans knew the truth, many would naturally prefer paper dental records. The business of dentistry is simply not so complicated that it requires computerization. After all, a dentist bills for treatments involving only the lower 1/3 of the face, and because dentistry involves intricate handwork, dentists can only safely treat a dozen or so patients a day – compared to 40 or more for physicians.
***
Very large, successful dental practices have thrived without computers for decades, while their patients enjoy the gold standard of security: Loud, heavy and cumbersome sheet metal filing cabinets.
***
***
Assessment
***
Let’s face it. Electronic dental records will never protect patients from identity theft as well as paper. CVS, Walgreens and Albertson’s as examples, simply don’t care. Surprised?
***
THANK YOU

Tele-Medicine Valuation and Reimbursement
Posted on November 20, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief
***
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
***
The second installment in this five-part Health Capital Topics series on the valuation of telemedicine will focus on the reimbursement environment for telemedicine.
***
Telemedicine is reimbursed based on the services provided through this medium and includes many restrictions on where, how, and by whom services can be conducted. The first installment in this series introduced telemedicine and its increasing importance to, and popularity among, providers and patients. It also discussed the current and future challenges related to telemedicine, many of which hinge upon reimbursement restrictions and regulations. (Read more…)

THOUGHTS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MEDICINE?
Posted on November 7, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief
THOUGHTS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MEDICINE?
Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/eBf-4vY
Artificial Intelligence (AI), is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals.
Leading AI textbooks define the field as the study of “intelligent agents”: any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals.
LINK: https://lnkd.in/eWx3WjZ
Colloquially, the term “artificial intelligence” is often used to describe machines (or computers) that mimic “cognitive” functions that humans associate with the human mind, such as “learning” and “problem solving”.
QUERY: But, what about AI in medicine?

On ZOOM Fatigue!
Posted on October 22, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief
ZOOM IN – ZOOM OUT
By: Staff reporters
“Lately, Zoom meetings have been hitting a nerve with CEOs”.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says there’s no vital “creative combustion” happening in virtual settings. American Airlines CEO Doug Parker finds Zoom meetings awful.
And Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella calls them transactional, where “30 minutes into your first video meeting in the morning … you’re fatigued.
“What we as human beings need, want, seek … is human contact,” Nadella says.
Now members of the C-suite have gone full boomerang on Zoom meetings. After finding them awesome and productive at first, they’re now questioning how much they really achieve and are suggesting they lead to a sterile work culture lacking in imagination.
Dimon is particularly worried about how working from home has affected JPMorgan’s younger employees. He told analysts that productivity had dipped, especially on Mondays and Fridays. Dimon says bringing people back to the office is paramount to fostering creativity.

Recently, I was invited to speak at a regional convention. No surprise there as I have been doing so – around the world – for more than twenty years.

Then, I was asked to supply something that flabbergasted me; I became slack-jawed, actually.

Imagine my surprise when I was asked for an avatar; not just a digital photograph. So – having none – I had one made and now submit it for your review.

Executive Order Expands Tele-Medicine

Eases Burden on Rural Medical Providers
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
***
Executive Order Expands Telemedicine and Eases Burden on Rural Providers
On August 3, 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at expanding access to care through two avenues: telemedicine and eased financial burdens on rural providers. The executive order builds on President Trump’s original expansion of coverage for telemedicine services in early March 2020, an order which was praised by the American Telehealth Association (ATA) and American Medical Association (AMA) for swiftly responding to the growing healthcare crisis. This Health Capital Topics article will discuss the executive rule and the subsequent agency actions on these fronts. (Read more…)

EMR ‘versus’ EHR
Posted on August 20, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief
What is the Difference – Know the Difference
By staff reporters
Both an EMR and EHR are digital records of patient health information. An EMR is best understood as a digital version of a patient’s chart. It contains the patient’s medical and treatment history from one practice. Usually, this digital record stays in the doctor’s office and does not get shared. If a patient switches doctors, his or her EMR is unlikely to follow.
By contrast, an EHR contains the patient’s records from multiple doctors and provides a more holistic, long-term view of a patient’s health. It includes their demographics, test results, medical history, history of present illness (HPI), and medications.

The “Chinee Room” Argument of A.I.
Posted on February 16, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief
On John Searle and his Paper
By Dr David E. Marcinko MBA
The Chinese room argument holds that a digital computer executing a program cannot be shown to have a “mind”, “understanding” or “consciousness”, regardless of how intelligently or human-like the program may make the computer behave.
***
The argument was first presented by philosopher John Searle in his paper, “Minds, Brains, and Programs“, published in Behavioral and Brain Sciences in 1980. It has been widely discussed in the years since. The centerpiece of the argument is a thought experiment known as the Chinese room.

Protect Yourself From Scammers
Posted on September 11, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief
Trust with Caution
By Rick Kahler CFP
Early this year, dozens of expatriate Americans living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, found out that an employee of Monex Bank had emptied up to 158 accounts of some $40,000,000. Many of the customers lost their entire retirement savings. The employee had worked for the bank for 20 years. Apparently she had been siphoning off money from accounts for months and sending the depositors fake statements to cover the disappearing funds.
According to an article by David Welch that appeared in Bloomberg Businessweek on May 23, 2019, the banker had promised these depositors “fat returns” in investments that would be immune to the peso’s fluctuations. Such promises are common to many fraudulent schemes where investors are duped out of their money.
“Too good to be true”
In this case, the all too familiar scam of promising returns “too good to be true” was promulgated by an employee of an international bank with assets of $5.2 billion. Even more unusual is that while the bank said they would make their customers whole again, only one of the 158 had received all of his funds back at the time the Bloomberg article was published. A bank employee admitted that was a mistake and asked the depositor to send back a portion of the check.
One of the defrauded investors was quoted as saying, “Part of this is my fault. I wasn’t even remotely suspicious.”
Such trust is exactly what scammers and con artists rely on. The most important vulnerability they exploit is ignorance. We tend to think of financial predators taking advantage of the poor, the elderly, and the uneducated. To some extent, this is certainly true. But the poor have no monopoly on financial ignorance.
***
***
In order to make money from their schemes, scammers need to target people with enough money to be worth preying on. The ability to earn a lot of money and the ability to manage money wisely do not necessarily go together. The infamous Bernie Madoff, remember, cheated some wealthy and sophisticated investors out of million.
Some of the qualities that make us vulnerable to financial predators come from our own human flaws. We’d all like to believe those promises of faster, easier ways to make a lot of money or save a lot of money.
Some of our vulnerability, though, comes from our best selves. Scammers exploit our willingness to trust and even the integrity that can lead us to assume others are as honest as we are.
***
***
Taking action
Protecting yourself from financial predators requires being honest with yourself about the qualities that make you vulnerable. It also requires a willingness to take action to protect yourself, in several ways.
1. Acknowledge what you don’t know and ask for advice—from someone who has nothing to gain from whatever decision you make.
2. Educate yourself from neutral, reputable sources. There are countless websites, books, and classes to help you learn about investing and managing money.
3. Listen to your own feelings. If anything seems too good to be true, you probably know at some level that something isn’t right and the wise choice would be to say no.
4. Channel your inner skeptic. Any time someone offers you an incredible opportunity to make a lot of money, ask yourself what’s in it for them. Chances are they are working for themselves, not for you.
5. Pay attention. Read the fine print. Read account statements. Ask questions. If your queries are brushed aside, be willing to be that “difficult” customer who keeps asking.
Assessment
Finally, don’t be your own worst enemy. Don’t trust blindly. Don’t assume someone else will look out for your best interests. That responsibility is always up to you.

What is Doxxing?
Posted on June 19, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief
Can You Avoid It?
[By staff reporters]
Doxing (from dox, abbreviation of documents), or doxxing, is the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting personally identifiable information about an individual.
The methods employed to acquire this information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering.
***
***
Doxing is therefore a standard tactic of online harassment and has been used by people associated with 4chan and in the Gamergate and vaccine controversies.
The ethics of doxing by journalists, on matters that they assert are issues of public interest, is an area of much controversy. Many authors have argued that doxing in journalism blurs the line between revealing information in the interest of the public and releasing information about an individual’s private life against their wishes.

Understanding the Next Generation of “Symptom-Checkers”?
Posted on April 14, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief
Will SCs become one of the killer applications in digital health?
***
By Ralf Jahns [Berlin, Germany]
***
Dear David and ME-P Readers,
***
Next generation of symptom checkers are entering the healthcare market with the intention to disrupt the way health services are provided. Symptoms checkers have a chance to belong to the set of killer applications within digital health market next to telehealth, e-prescription and chronic health management solutions. Market potential differs significantly country per country and could go up as high as 8 Bn EUR p.a. Payer and pharma companies must hurry up to close partnership deals as prices go up quickly.
***
Symptom Checkers
***
There are hundreds of symptom checker solutions available in the market for long. Quite a few have gone out of business or changed their business model (e.g. Medlanes) due to having started too early in a market either using B2B or B2C business models. Over the last few years a new generation of symptom checkers have been launched. These tools are building on AI for data management and a chat bot functionality for user communication. They also expanded into other service areas not only concentrating on offering expertise medical diagnostic advice, but also allowing to search for a doctor, remote HCP consultations, or shopping features for over-the-counter medicines.
Symptoms checkers have the potential to belong to the solution suite that will open up the traditional healthcare system for digital health solutions, similar to telehealth or chronic patient’s self-management services. They not only allow patients to remotely 24/7 access advice on their symptoms but are more and more used also by HCPs to support their diagnosing process.
The following list of next generation of symptom checkers shows current ranges of services, reach and business models.
- Ada Health – a free symptom checker exclusively available as a mobile app. The app provides symptom advice for more than 6,000 diseases. The ADA app has 6 million users and 10 million assessments completed, it’s available in 5 languages and ranked as #1 medical app in over 130 countries. The Berlin-based company employs 130 workers and over 40 doctors and medical editors.
- Your.MD – symptom checker and health tracker. The app for diagnosis, partners with online medical service providers and refers its apps users to pharmacies, test centers, doctors’ offices or recommends other medical apps which are suitable for them.
- Sensely – an app for pre-diagnosis, video doctor consultation, allows remote monitoring, links user with local medical services and self-care resources. Currently Sensely app is available by an access code from an employer/health plan.
- Infermedica – Symptomate is a suite of web, mobile and voice apps that help patients assess their symptom when they feel sick. The solution covers 13 languages and is available in three major voice platforms: Amazon Alexa, Microsoft Cortana and Google Assistant. According to the company the audience includes mainly young adults and more than 55% of the users are aged 18 – 30. Some of the most commonly reported symptoms include headaches, back pains, mild abdominal pains and overall fatigue.
- Ask NHS – Virtual Assistant” app (powered by Sensely). A virtual assistant named Olivia asks questions about the symptoms and suggests what the problem is. If needed, Olivia arranges a call back from a “111 nurse” to discuss the symptoms further. Patients can also search NHS approved healthcare advice, and schedule GP appointments.
- Isabel is a similar solution to Ada or Symptomate. The end users are patients, but the company – Isabel Healthcare – also makes the APIs available to others to integrate the symptom checker into their own systems.
In general, market readiness seems to be more advanced in terms of payer and user willingness to use and pay compared to few years back. Also, symptoms checkers are now seen as tools which not only substitute or shorten HCP visits by remote, anonymous and free-of-charge health assessments, but which also enable patient activation tools for pharma companies and enhance products by tech-companies.
***
***
Market potential is big. 400 million people especially in developing economies lack access to essential health services. The situation in developed economies is different. Shortage of doctors, especially in rural areas also exists but the problem that symptoms checkers could address is the large amount of doctor visits. In the USA alone there are around 1.3 Bn visits to GPs in a year. Japan has an even higher GP visit numbers as people tend to go 3 times more often to a doctor compared to their US counterparts.By reducing the number of HCP visits (here only GP visits are shown), symptom checkers promise to have a significant impact on healthcare costs within each country. Regardless whether 5% or 10% of GP visits will be made obsolete, the cost saving potential is enormous. In the US alone a 5% reduction would lead to annual cost savings of 8 Bn EUR! Second biggest market opportunities are in Japan with potential cost savings of 6 Bn EUR, followed by Germany and Canada (1 Bn EUR).
Not surprisingly payer organizations in western countries have started to offer symptoms checker solutions to their member base but also to HCPs. For example, Ada and German health insurer Techniker Krankenkasse(TK) are offering the symptoms checker in emergency rooms. Patients insured by TK might be asked to complete in a waiting room an assessment on Ada. Depending on the results, the patient may be redirected to a nurse or a doctor. In another trial run with a large NHS GP clinic, 14% of patients that completed an Ada assessment in the waiting room said that if they had used Ada at home, they would not have felt the need to come to see the doctor that day.”
Babylon a telehealth service also using symptoms checkers is now embedded into Samsung Health, which is available on millions of Samsung mobile devices in the UK and US, and has recently signed major partnership agreements with Tencent, Bupa and Prudential.
Companies wanting to enter the market should hurry up as development times of symptoms checkers are long and existing players are closing deals with payers and tech companies at high speed. Ada, for example, claims to have spent seven years to build up their database of symptoms and recommendations, while integrating more than 6.000 diseases linked to symptoms including 1,100 rare diseases curated by HCPs.
On the other side, payers, pharma, hospitals and tech companies that want to enrich their service offering with next generation of symptoms checkers are urged to start selection and further on integration process of next generation symptoms checkers as prices go up quickly and flexibility to incorporate specific change requests will go down with increasing success of symptoms checkers.
P.S. If you need any insights or quotes about the digital health, digital diabetes and / or the digital respiratory markets, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to provide you with reliable data and latest market insights.

On the Clinical Efficacy of the Apple Watch?
Posted on March 25, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief
New Studies Seek to Define Clinical Efficacy
[By Catalyst @ Health 2.0]
Preliminary results from the Apple Heart Study show the potential health benefits of wearables. Researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine partnered with Apple to conduct a virtual observational study with more than 400,000 participants. The study used the Apple Watch’s irregular rhythm notification (IRN) system to detect atrial fibrillation (AFib). The results showed 0.5% of participants received irregular rhythm notifications. For those who were notified, 21% received and wore an ECG patch. Of those, Afib was confirmed 34% of the time. The positive predictive value of the overall study was 71%, however, this increased to 84% for the subgroup who also used an ECG patch. It should be noted that the study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Johnson & Johnson’s HEARTLINE Study aims to build on the Apple Heart Study. Announced back in January, the virtual clinical trial will enroll 150,000 Americans 65 years and older to detect AFib and collect outcomes data. Participants will be randomized to either receive the Apple Watch 4 or no watch at all. Compared to the Apple Heart Study, one key technical design difference allows the HEARTLINE Study to draw a clearer connection between AFib observance and confirmation. Instead of waiting for an ECG patch to be mailed to the participant, the ECG app on the user’s Apple Watch 4 will be engaged once the “IRN software detects five out of six consecutive irregular rhythms each lasting one minute.” Both the IRN software and the ECG app are FDA cleared for AFib detection. Although the clinical efficacy of wearables is far from conclusive, the innovative use of virtual clinical trials will likely be commonplace in the future with the continued proliferation of consumer-driven health technologies.

MYSPACE:- Music Loss – EHR Metaphor?
Posted on March 23, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief
Twelve Years of Tunes Just Vanished
A Metaphor for EHRs?
[By staff reporters]
According to the MIT Technology Review, MySpace has lost all the music uploaded during its first 12 years
The company’s data protection officer blamed it on a server migration, and said it had lost over 50 million songs from 14 million artists.
A while coming:
All music on MySpace (aw, remember?) from 2015 and earlier stopped working about a year ago. Originally, the company said it was working on the issue, but it has been forced to admit all the data has been lost (no, it didn’t have any backups.)
A niche issue:
Okay, most people don’t keep their only copy of a particular record on MySpace. But the fact that so much material can be lost in one fell swoop is a reminder that the internet is not an archive. If you don’t have a physical backup, files can be lost, regardless of how unlikely that might feel.

The 10 Worst Technologies of the 21st Century?
Posted on March 15, 2019 by Editor-in-Chief
MIT Technology Review
****
MIT Technology Review
The latest issue, MIT Technology Review revealed 10 breakthrough technologies, chosen by Bill Gates, that he thinks will change the world for the better. We thought it only fair (and fun) to come up with a corresponding list of 10 “bad” technologies.
A hard choice: What makes them bad? Well, it could be because they fail to achieve good aims, or succeed in wicked ones. They could be harmful, flawed, or ahead of their time.
Sad: The Segway turned out to be an expensive scooter that makes you look silly. Google Glass, on the other hand, makes the list as a decent technology that just lacked decent enough uses when it launched.
Bad: Electronic voting made the cut for making elections more vulnerable. The CRISPR babies born in November 2018 are on there too, because indiscriminate uses of the technology should worry us. Data trafficking, where our data is shared and used without our control, is undermining freedom and democracy—it had to be one there.
Mad: Of course, some inventions have no redeeming features whatsoever. May we present: selfie sticks.
Assessment: Read the full list here.

How digital business models impact the value chain of health insurers
Posted on November 8, 2018 by Editor-in-Chief
Dear Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA
I am happy to share with you, and your readers, Research2Guidance’s latest digital health article “How digital business models impact the value chain of health insurers“.
Health insurance companies have started to make use of digital technologies to reinvent the way they interact with their members and health care providers. Innovation is mainly driven by insure-tech companies raising hundreds of millions of investment money. Established health insurers must know new insure-tech digital business models to understand their impact on both value chain and market position.
“We think, in 3-5 years from now, these digital business models will be widely implemented globally” – says Ralf Jahns, Managing Director of Research 2 Guidance. “Asia and North America will lead but there will be and already are implementations in Europe as well“.
Thank you for your time!
P.S. If you, or your ME-P readers need any insights or quotes about the digital health insurance market, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to provide you with reliable data and latest market insights.
Kind regards,
Stela Nikolova
[Research2Guidance]
