Advice that works for kids and business
A colleague here at Capgemini, Carla Heimbigner, frequently posts on Capgemini’s Business Transformation Blog. This post struck me as an important one to share as it offers some ideas we can all use reminding of now and then. Enjoy. Carla Writes: Recently on a trip for work, I decided to grab a magazine in the airport. Judge if you wish, but I decided on some light reading from Redbook. “The 30 best things you can …
Case Management as a Service (CaaS) – Health Case Management
Healthcare has been a user of Case Management techniques for as long as there have been patients needing recurring care. Organizations that struggle to sustain their own Case Management technical solutions may want to consider ‘as a Service’ (aaS) options for their Case Management environment. Capgemini colleague Lee Smith writes about this capability in our Capgemini CTO Blog. In viewing Case as a Service as an architectural diagram, working from the bottom up there are …
Patient privacy and cloud computing: Healthcare’s greatest fear
Whenever we talk about cloud computing, security is at the top of people’s concerns. Many studies show that it’s the main barrier to organizations adopting cloud and applying this technology to make their operations more efficient or customer-centric, even when in many healthcare ecosystems (especially in the US as we recently argued at HIMSS), cloud is part of what is needed to tackle the spiraling and unsustainable cost of care. In healthcare there are particular …

ONC PIN #3 – Privacy & Security for US HIEs
On Thursday (March 22) ONC released a final Program Information Notice (PIN 003) for how HIEs would/should/shall deal with privacy and security of patient information. To some this would seem to be a bit of closing the barn door after the horses have fled. Most states and communities have made their technology selections and gone well down the road of implementation. Based on some immediate reactions, it would appear not all technology vendors of considered …

Value of HIE for Public Health Purposes
During the ONC All Grantee meeting last week there were a number of discussions regarding how HIEs can add value to sharing of Public Health data (e.g., immunizations, reportable diseases, reportable lab results, vital statistics, etc.). These discussions offered insights, lessons learned, and observations regarding potential barriers. ONC plans on posting the knowledge elements on their website so you can find them there (or let me know and I can share what I learned). My …
Leveraging DIRECT within the HIE
An important element of the US national HIE program (NwHIN) being led by ONC is DIRECT. Simply put, this capability leverages secure email as a means to connect providers who wish to share patient care information that exists in their EMRs. This interim solution (until HIEs are fully functional as enterprise data sharing environments) will give providers a way to meet Meaningful Use Stage 1 requirements and, therefore, be eligible for incentive payments (if a …
Capgemini Statewide HIE Implementation Project – A Discovery Sharing Opportunity
We have begun the process of implementing a statewide HIE including baseline solution install, connection to care organizations and regional HIEs/RHIOs, connection to Federal entities (Nw-HIN Connect), support and investments for sustainability, and the ongoing hosting and operation of the HIE solution infrastructure. It will be an interesting 5 years. I hope to use this space to share resulting ideas and discoveries. If you have questions or want to compare notes, this blog would be …
