The highest and best use of IT in healthcare is to create strong, healthy connections between doctors and their patients. One of the most critical pieces of that is giving patients access – both to their health data, and to their healthcare providers – along with permission to engage.
I wear two hats in the healthcare space: patient activist/advocate, and healthcare communications/media consultant. My healthcare-focused company WellCentrix is building a reputation for understanding both the business (doctors & other providers) and the customer (that would be the patients, not the insurers) side of healthcare.
I attended the Virginia chapter of the Health Information & Management Systems Society’s annual conference last week, and posted a wrap-up report of what I heard there over two days of sessions.
