In my previous post<\/a> I noted that Vince Kuraitis and David Kibbe are running an excellent series, \u201cIs HITECH Working?\u201d* After a full year of increasing tensions, claims, and counterclaims, reading these posts has given me hope that it’s all panned out into something mortals can understand. (I’d been afraid to look!)<\/p>\n

In a day or two I’ll be submitting the next entry in the series, on disruptive innovation – patient driven<\/em> disruption. It’s a wonderful moment in our history when two of the best minds in health IT predict this is what’s coming.<\/p>\n

But it means we have work to do. So if you’re into health IT, please catch up on this series – it’s clearly written:<\/p>\n

The opening post is here<\/a>; it introduces their seven observations. Nowhere have I seen it segmented this way:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hospitals are grumbling but are playing in the game; success is not guaranteed. (April 2)<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Key physicians will sit on the sidelines (at least for now). (April 5)<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. ONC got it right on the 3 major policy issues: Meaningful Use, Certification, Standards (April 14)<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. While most attention has been focused on demand<\/em> side incentives (will doctors and hospitals buy EHRs?), the supply<\/em> (vendor) side of health IT is already transforming. (April 19)
    \n—– Next up: —–<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. \u201cGimme my damn data!\u201d\u00a0The stage is being set to enable patient-driven disruptive innovation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I encourage you to dive into their series,<\/a> with gusto. They’ve plowed through hundreds of blog posts and digested all the regulations, and what they’ve written is clear and goes down easy.
    \n* HITECH: Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health act. HITECH is part of the 2009 ARRA economic stimulus bill<\/sup><\/p>\n
