Some think the market values of society
Exxon / Mobil - $ 464B
General Electric - $ 302B
Wal-Mart - $ 224B
Google - $ 180B
General Motors - $ 10B
Exxon Mobil is this dimension, because there are two different companies a few years ago. GE owns NBC, Universal Studios, Telemundo, and all equipment. Wal-Mart has more than 7,300 stores. A few years ago there was a corresponding statement on GM - "if GM goes, so goes the United States. And Google is a searchEngine is started in 1998, but its market value is up there with these powers stock markets in recent years.
Financial markets have been a statement that "research" is changing the way we work and what is more important, how we work. In other words, the responses of research "are the drivers of change. In saying that, once again another way, the questions we ask now and wait for the" Search "to change the way we work." If you continue todisruptive technology.
This is a breakthrough technology because it changes the playing cards are an innovative technology, the whip manufacturers. PC is an innovative technology of the typewriter, and a few other things. A new set of rules and new industries rise follows with them.
Find where it is going
"Research" has evolved to take only the content. E 'was and still is a collaboration tool. The horizon, such as "Search" will be located inSolve real problems. This has far reaching implications for all sectors, but can take some specific characteristics and advantages when it comes to health care.
Before we explain the contents of the cooperation problem, the solution life cycle. For example, we use one of the most popular in many households - Pokemon. I can try to find a lot of things on paper EX Charizard. I heard that comes from the Cross Fire Red / Leaf Green Field's is 160The points of life can inflict 200 points of damage and is responsible for $ 150 on eBay (hard to find). I can argue with Pokémon elsewhere to get the card, the strategies, how to play and advantages of this compared to Charizard EX Wailord EX. What is not possible, it is not automatically read the information in real time how many cards back to power when I am fighting another pokemon use more.
They are good examples of content, collaboration for problem solving cycle. The contents are the property ofCharizard EX. Cooperation is the consulting and accounting. Solving a problem is an immediate feedback on the current situation.
For content, we need the knowledge base is to create, publish, comprehensive and accessible. For cooperation, we need people to absorb the knowledge base to interpret, express informed opinions about him and these opinions. To solve, we have combined the knowledge base with the automated methods (AKA services) to provide the sameLook at our particular requirements are tailor made and that these services need to ask.
We are using Pokemon in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. Imagine health care "research" that will be developed on these lines and the benefits that we can achieve with the problems of online real problems. We see a lot of online content and co-present in the health sector, but it lacks two essential elements:
Is not that they are not also in their personal medical history.
Real problemThe solution of the problems is still years away. Sites like WebMD still work.
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are the leaders of the "Search". Most of the research contradicted by search engines. The word "Google" this generation "Xerox". This should qualify the market dominance of Google. Google has the vision to go beyond the boundaries of others in search of content. One of these limits is Google Health.
The Health Information Network
Google is already theThe starting point for most health-related research. A large part of the core content and cooperation is there, but has no personal information or solve problems. Enter Google Health. Google Health is the first step of Google to create its own Health Information Network (TIN), the relevant information, providing timely and organized for the consumer and the medical community.
For the reader, Google Health, we provide a number of things, what is included. To begin,collects the basic elements of information:
Age, sex, height, weight
Terms
Allergies
Drugs
Procedure
Test results
Vaccinations
Secondly, it collects a bit 'of history to allow imports from other medical data. You can import medical records from the following sources:
Longs Drug Stores
Medco
CVS
Quest Diagnostics
Walgreens
Finally, you can find online medical services as follows:
EPillBox - Creating aMedication schedule according to your needs and preferences
VaccineView - Heck, how your immunization history matches the guidelines of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
iHealth - allows patients to communicate with their doctors online
Life Star - create a view on your health history, which can be printed or exported for sharing with healthcare providers, families and carers
NoMoreClipboard - to deliver messages to your doctor before giving your next visit ora loved one in an emergency access to medical records
MCT-Diabetes - Diabetes tracking tool that can improve the health and well-being in patients with diabetes
Google is not the only kid on the block to offer this package of services. There are at least 250 online health information. Most are taken by them or merged with another company.
Google Health and other sources Hins are based primarily on changes in search terms. Demographic and medical history are nothingMost of the foundations of collective knowledge. On the IT staff, but is still inside. The positions of health care are beginning to creep into the equation of cooperation. What is missing is to solve the problem aspect. The possibility of a user of the site say that the influence of a drug is not the solution of problems. Telling someone the risk of side effects on their medical history and the combination of these results with the test today and tomorrowTo solve the problems.
Moves slowly
Health care is far behind in the state of IT. There was little binding on the face of software firms existing health clinics and move to buy their products. Advances in electronic health records and sharing of files, moving much more slowly than expected. This is particularly worrisome given the potential benefits of the medical community is not enabled.
There are manyReasons for the lack of progress. Doctors believe that patients who use the state are. This is understandable, labor, since 2B, most of them 40 hours a week% do nothing but to serve the patient. The patients themselves do not require that the transition to a medical e-document format, or their clinical systems will be interoperable. The vision of all the benefits of "research" is too far for most to handle.
RE: there is still
The cost of disposing of IT strategiesNot a return on investment even more attractive. Practice management (PM), typical of the system or electronic health record (HER) system can run a private practice $ 10,000 to $ 50,000. Community health centers, which are the most functional requirements can not see the price tags of $ 20,000 to $ 200,000. These systems are broad and deep view of the level of functionality and complexity of IT. Now we want to put a layer of interoperability (aka services) on top to work with a variety of other systems. Onlythe price of the development effort itself is high.
This level of interoperability can not be done randomly. An error can be devastating as a misdiagnosis or a life lost. Because of the stakes in their companies have stringent requirements and processes of quality assurance.
They all spoke of the network system can not make a mistake. In 2008, a large Internet Service Provider in the news, because they come from a blackout that lasted for more than 48 hours have seen. Have been a literal explosiontheir data center, which caused a loss of power of more than 9,000 servers. The firemen would not allow their backup generators to be made for security reasons. If the life or health of the people on it, we need more that the dismissal of an institute of housing.
This type of needs, development, quality and price of infrastructure costs. A lot of money. The return on investment for a hospital or a society of middle-class software is not good when the necessary precautions to plan. Did notAchieving this level of restriction to $ 30,000 or even $ 300,000 U.S. at risk.
Accelerate
Google tries to go straight for Health and Microsoft Health Records on-line attention to the need to "look forward in health. Without economic returns of short-term or at the request of clients and consequently, the demand for interoperability of health information has only one driver is still one step ahead - the vision and investment of view of businesses, the long-term benefits andRevenue.
Google, Microsoft and others have deep pockets and the vision to start the process. Google Health also receives 2 million people, about their medical history and 100 partners online store, until the current EMR systems for PM, which is present in the decision for the network connection, the progress is slow. EPA and PM software is where the tire meets the path ambulance. These are the main sources of information for new patients and their medical visits. Without these systems, our"Search remains contained."
Like Google and Microsoft, its Hins, EHR and PM software companies continue to grow to be motivated to progress. Many see it as a way to create a competitive advantage. Others grow as an "or die" scenario. Regardless, the more Google expands health, the most important that the list be added to the partner.
In a clinic or practice, there is to do things that contribute to progress. In selecting and appointing the CEC or PM with a companyspeaks actively developing service-oriented architecture (SOA). SOA is the cornerstone companies are increasingly integrating with Hins. Companies to speak out and do something, is now leader of the movement, and those that are still visible.
If it is a software company to implement an SOA strategy should take into consideration. This is a competitive advantage. These companies must also establish relationships with Hins. Not all are still Hinsabout five years, but the company SW will work with them.
"Research" has been and is a change in the nature of the business. The most important part of this change is the questions we ask today, and waiting for an answer easily. As a "research" continues, businesses and healthcare customers will benefit greatly from this situation. While the change and motivation for change was slow and sometimes difficult to justify, in the business of "research" and to create new devices thatmotivate health care to achieve all the benefits of research.
