A Video Vision of Healthcare’s Future from Microsoft

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

Medical Tourism and Health Information Technology in Malaysia

Join Our Mailing List

According to Dan Dunlop, over at The Healthcare Marketer, the following video promotes Malaysia as a preferred healthcare destination. It positions the country as a one stop destination for all medical and tourism related needs, bringing together related service providers on a single platform. Malaysia would like to be seen as being on the leading edge of technology.

Malaysia Healthcare

In fact, here’s what the Malaysia Healthcare website had to say about the video:

“With state of the art hospitals being built in Malaysia; it’s just a matter of time before we experience seamless healthcare delivery. Malaysia Healthcare patients use a portable Personal Health Record (PHR) called the iPHER that carries all their PHI which includes, medications, lab tests, diagnosis, immunizations, alternative procedures, digital images, dental records, ophthalmic care (lens and contact prescriptions) and DNA any where in the world with no need to access the Internet to view the information. Malaysia Healthcare currently uses this PHR to reduce medical errors and create continuity of care for all their patients and to provide seamless healthcare delivery.”

Assessment

This is an incredible video that demonstrates how Microsoft sees the future of healthcare and shows one vision for how technology will potentially improve our way of life!

MSFT Amalga Video for Hospitals and Health Systems

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

It Was One Year Ago Today … Updated for 2009

By Staff Reportersstk128477rke

Release of a new unified intelligence system allows enterprise health providers to unlock the power of all data from their existing IT systems.

REDMOND, Wash. — April 9, 2008

Microsoft Corp. today announced the availability of Microsoft Amalga, the new unified intelligence system that allows hospital enterprises to unlock the power of all their data sitting in isolated clinical, financial and administrative solutions.

What it is – How it works

Amalga is part of the Microsoft Amalga Family of Health Enterprise Systems, a portfolio of enterprise-class health solutions that provides rich integration, giving clinicians and executive’s quick access to valuable, up-to-the-minute information across their health enterprise. Microsoft also announced the availability of the Amalga family of health enterprise products across Europe at conhIT 2008, a healthcare IT conference being held in Berlin this week (http://www.microsoft.com/emea/presscentre).

Health Vault

The patient compliment to Amalga is MSFT’s Health Vault initiative which helps consumers collect, store, and share critical patient health information, for free.

Video Clip from the HIMSS Meeting

By Ann Miller; RN, MHA

[Executive-Director]

stk323168rknThere is a major controversy in the modern healthcare community over eMRs and how to pay for them; or even if they are effective in improving medical outcomes. Of course, by eMRs we mean interoperable medical records that span the pan-healthcare ecosystem; and not just the stand-alone digital records that many, if not most, physicians use in their daily practices to some degree or another.

Link: https://healthcarefinancials.wordpress.com/2009/03/10/on-the-hitech-act-of-2009/

Proponents

As readers of the ME-P are aware, one vocal camp supports certification and eMR industry mandates, standards, and governmental initiatives, etc. The recent $20 billion taxpayer input from the Obama Administration, courtesy of HITECH, further emboldens CCHIT and related wonks.

Opponents

One the other hand, one vocal ME-P opponent is dentist Darrell Pruitt. He and many others believe that current eMRs may be too expensive, unwieldy, and counter-productive. This camp advocates a mix of other data sources, technology processes and doctor/patient education to get us where we need to be in terms of improving medial outcomes; quicker and less expensively.

Assessment

Rather than read, research and write more on this controversy, which was apparently a red-hot topic at the recent HIMSS meeting, we have embedded a video link of Glen Tullman [CEO of Allscripts] and Mark Leavitt, [Chair of CCHIT], below.

Link: https://healthcarefinancials.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/cchit-is-prejudiced-and-lacks-diversity-%e2%80%93-an-indictment/

It even includes a clip of Jonathan Bush, CEO of AthenaHealth. And, although they don’t all agree; some common ground may be developing in this controversial issue.
