The Rules are changing. Eight new rules are guiding healthcare disruptors…
My Health Information Should PRECEDE Me, Not Just Follow Me
To state the obvious, there are times when the value of information depends on timing. Sometimes information needs to be provided in advance.

Editorial: A Duty to Share Patient Information
by Vince Kuraitis and Leslie Kelly Hall, Senior Vice President, Policy, Healthwise.
The sharing of patient information in the US is out of whack — we lean far too much toward hoarding information vs. sharing it. While care providers have an explicit duty to protect patient confidentiality and privacy, two things are missing:

Stage 2 MU Rules: Shifting Competition from Hoarding to Sharing
Competition today in healthcare encourages care providers to hoard patient data.
That’s inefficient, ineffective, and just plain wrong.Â
But we’re seeing light at the end of the tunnel — the proposed Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU) rules reinforce new, evolving accountable care payment approaches. The rules support moving competition in healthcare to the right bases — sharing and adding value to patient health record data.
