President-elect Barack Obama and President George W. Bush may disagree on many topics, but they clearly agree on one thing: information technology (IT) is essential to reforming our health care system. They see the evidence that IT prevents errors that kill tens of thousands of Americans each year, reduces waste and duplication that cost up to one hundred billion dollars per year, and helps consumers take better care of themselves. They are joined by physicians, hospitals, governors, members of Congress, the public, and even other countries that see health IT as a necessity in health care.

Health Evolution Partners' Outlook: Remote Care Management Services Investment Value Limited by Slow Adoption

Health Evolution Partners — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:45:00 +0000

Like other areas of health services innovation where information technology can substitute effectively for labor, remote care management is an extremely promising opportunity for improved patient care, purchaser value and investment success. However, neither physician managed nor physician independent remote care management will attract substantial investment capital until adoption rates increase in a significant and sustainable manner.

Health Information Technology Is A Vehicle, Not A Destination: A Conversation With David J. Brailer

Health Evolution Partners — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 02:00:00 +0000

The first U.S. national health care information technology (IT) coordinator estimates that if the current rate of interoperable electronic health record (EHR) adoption is sustained through 2014, it would create a launchpad for quality gain and health care spending reduction in excess of 50 percent in the subsequent decade. But in this conversation with Leapfrog Group cofounder and U.S. health care purchasing innovator Arnold Milstein, David Brailer identifies several environmental changes as critical to the materialization of this dividend. These include providers’ ceding control of clinical information to patients, universal public availability of provider performance comparisons, and moving health policy from a no-man’s land between government and market control.

Action Through Collaboration: A Conversation With David Brailer

Health Evolution Partners — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 23:20:00 +0000

The national coordinator of HIT believes that facilitation, not mandates, are the way to move the agenda forward.

Progress toward widespread adoption of health information technology (HIT) by providers remains uncertain and fraught with obstacles. But since his appointment as national coordinator for HIT in May 2004, David Brailer has observed a flowering of initia- tives at the state level and the stirring of grassroots demand for action by providers. Brailer sees the creation of a new leadership group to spur adoption of technical standards as an important step forward. He remains concerned that small provider organizations will fall be- hind larger ones and that IT adoption will move forward without adequate standardization, compromising opportunities for interoperability in the future.
