Platform Failure and Success: Lessons from Outside Healthcare
Healthcare is just starting down the road of adopting platform technology and business models. What lessons can we learn from other industries?
A recent article by Andreas Constantinou in Vision Mobile blog provides guidance. The article lists a Dead Platform Graveyard from the past 10 years — you will probably recognize some of the names: Meego (Nokia/Intel), Palm 5/6, Symbian OS (Nokia) WebOS (HP), Windows Mobile (Microsoft). Blackberry RIM is a candidate to make next year’s list.
Software platforms have failed for a […]
Survey Says: Yes, National HIT Architecture is Shifting, Thank Goodness!
Brian Ahier sparked a feud with his Google+ post commenting on a recent JAMIA article entitled Shift in the Architecture of the Nationwide Health Information Network. We’re at 60+ comments and going strong. The discussion has also been picked up on in Modern Healthcare.
The JAMIA article was written by Leslie Lenert and colleagues, and Lenert joins in heartily in the Google+ discussion. From the abstract, here are 3 key points they make:

Healthcare Apps: Just Scratching the Surface of the App Economy
The headline in yesterday’s LA Times declares:
‘App Economy’ credited with creating 446,000 jobs.
What’s the App Economy?
“Platforms” for Accountable Care, a “Must Have”, Not Just a “Nice to Have”
What do Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google have in common?
Eric Schmidt, Chairman (and former President) of Google, coined the term “Gang of Four” in referring to the similar platform/application technical architecture and business models of these companies. In the case of Apple iOS and Google Android OS, much of the value is created by the 500K+ applications built on these platforms, not just by the platform themselves.
So four of the largest, most successful companies in the world are built on platforms — […]

Getting An Epic Opinion Off My Chest
We need to be far more explicit in asking a subtle but critical question
What are acceptable bases of competition in health care?
My sense is that the distinctions here are not well understood and often go undiscussed, so I’ll quickly get to the point:
It’s OK for care providers to compete on the bases of quality, price, patient satisfaction, and many other factors
It’s NOT OK for care providers to compete on the basis of controlling or limiting access […]
The EHR|HIE Interoperability Workgroup — Potentially Earth-Shattering
Yesterday’s announcement of “Standard Health Data Connectivity Specifications” by the EHR|HIE Interoperability Workgroup (EHR|HIE WG) is potentially earth-shattering.
My mom would not know what I mean by “Standard Health Data Connectivity Specifications,” so I’ll try to write this in plain English.
Who Are These Guys? The EHR|HIE Interoperability Workgroup
The workgroup consists of HIEs (Health Information Exchanges) representing seven of the largest states, eight EHR vendors, and three HIE software/services vendors.
