Meaningful Role Is Dead. Long Alive Something Better!

At the discussed inward the past, is non only nearly onerous burdens on physicians. It is also nearly regulating pattern as well as production of medical software to serve the needs as well as wants of authorities as well as large corporations. From reading Mr. Slavitt’s remarks, I suspect that the latter essay is far from beingness over as well as may genuinely live greatly fortified nether the “new regime”. If you lot pattern clever software, as well as mandate its purchase as well as daily use, at that spot is real trivial utility inward paying users to present their work, which is what Meaningful Use for physicians genuinely meant. You do yet desire to popular off along those unwittingly exploited users calm as well as cooperative, which may explicate why CMS wants to “get the hearts as well as minds of physicians back”.

Enter the American Medical Association (AMA). While across the ocean, the British Medical Association (BMA) is aggressively supporting its hitting members inward a nationwide larn by for the person of medicine, the AMA is launching a “Silicon Valley integrated project design company” to monetize its members inward service to the novel CMS regime. In a fortuitous coincidence, the creation of this novel “stand-alone, for-profit entity”, Health2047, was announced inward San Francisco on the same twenty-four lx minutes menstruation the J.P. Morgan conference was convened. The destination of Health2047 is to leverage physicians’ expertise to “help forge novel paths as well as pick out commercial solutions to marketplace seat faster”, as well as of class to brand boatloads of money for investors, including the AMA.

Meaningful Use is dead. Long alive something better! And what is that improve something? It is paying physicians for outcomes. It is the piece of work of evidence based medicine. It is interoperability as well as “user-centered” design. It is Accountable Care Organizations, value, patient centeredness, coordination as well as such. It is also the making of markets “by leveling the technology playing plain for start-ups as well as novel entrants”, because when Epic makes money, nobody on Wall Street or inward Silicon Valley gets a slice of the action. It is nearly engagement as well as analytics as well as population health, calculations, penalties, incentives as well as lots of novel technology things. It is “like the 2d generation iPhone”.

After collectively sinking billions of dollars inward Certified EHR Technology over the lastly v years, hospitals as well as doctors volition straight off live expected to pes the neb for novel software as well as calculator products to back upward the lifestyles of a novel generation of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs as well as the insatiable greed of the one-time generation of Silicon Valley investors. Why? Because the side yesteryear side app is certain to create wellness tending inward America. It’s ever the side yesteryear side one. There is ever “something better” you lot tin buy. Planned obsolescence, which is fueling the obscene fortunes of Silicon Valley as well as destroying life everywhere else, has finally arrived to the $3 trillion wellness tending sector. It took a chip longer than the folks at J.P. Morgan expected, I’m sure, but we’re inward work concern now. Let the goodness times roll…..
