Seven in ten doctors have a self-tracking patient
“Seventy percent of doctors report that at least one patient is sharing some form of health measurement data with them, according to Manhattan Research’s annual “Taking the Pulse” online survey of 2,950 practicing physicians.
Self-tracking is a budding area of research for pollsters — it was the headliner metric for the Pew Internet and American Life [...] (Source: ICMCC: The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics)

EHR Issues May Not Be Vendor’s Fault, Docs Told
“Almost 17% of physicians will at least consider switching electronic health record vendors this year, but the problem may not be in the system, according to an EHR physician consultant.
To cure their dissatisfaction with their EHR, doctors may need to see if their expectations are unrealistic or change their implementation strategy, Cephus Daniel Vincent Allin, [...] (Source: ICMCC: The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics)

Patient EMR Access May Be The Biggest Cultural Shift
“As most readers probably know, U.S. doctors are skittish about giving patients full access to their medical records. That fact was underscored by a recent Accenture study, which concluded that 65 percent of doctors think patients should only have limited access, and 4 percent feel patients should have no access.
While I have no proof of [...] (Source: ICMCC: The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics)

Is Healthcare IT Interoperability (Almost) Here?
“This year’s Health Information and Managements Systems Society’s HIMSS13 conference began with a shocker: The announcement that five leading electronic health record (EHR) vendors were forming a group called the CommonWell Health Alliance that would promote “seamless interoperability” of healthcare data.
HIMSS13 also saw the announcement of The CURE Project, an interoperability initiative started by New [...] (Source: ICMCC: The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics)

Patient access to complex chronic disease records on the Internet
Background
Access to medical records on the Internet has been reported to be acceptable and popular with patients, although most published evaluations have been of primary care or office-based practice. We tested the feasibility and acceptability of making unscreened results and data from a complex chronic disease pathway (renal medicine) available to patients over the Internet [...] (Source: ICMCC: The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics)

WEDI survey indicates slow ICD-10 progress
“A new survey from the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) on IDC-10 preparations finds a disturbing lack of industry progress during the past year.
WEDI’s February 2013 survey of 974 industry participants, comprising 87 vendors, 109 health plans and 778 providers, compared results with a much larger sample survey in February 2012 that posed the [...] (Source: ICMCC: The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics)

Secure Text and Email, Smartphone Physicals, and EMR Documentation – Around Healthcare Scene
“There are so many types of mHealth apps and devices out there, it was inevitable that someone would try to have them work together. At TEDMED 2013, Shiv Gaglani and a team of physicians-to-be will be presenting the “smartphone physical.” Are these types of visits closer to becoming a reality than we may have realized?

Analysis of doc notes in EHRs can flag drug interactions
“Stanford University researchers touted success in using analysis of free-text notes in electronic health records for surveillance of drug interactions in near real time.
Their work, published online this week in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, noted that not all safety issues with new drugs are identified before they hit the market. Their approach, they said, can [...] (Source: ICMCC: The International Council on Medical and Care Compunetics)

EHRs Aren’t Ready For Genomics-Driven Healthcare
“Current electronic health record (EHR) systems are not designed to work with genomic data, but could be modified to incorporate genomic clinical decision support (CDS) coming out of ancillary systems, says a viewpoint article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
