HIT in Chronic Care: Real-World Experience With The Business Case And The Technology
A variety of applications and functionality are available to serve the needs of the chronically ill, from simple secure emails and Web visits, to elaborate home monitoring and telemedicine devices. We’ll discuss the barriers to adoption of these technologies and what the real-world experience has been with their use.
We’ll also discuss the lessons from a chronic care pilot project in Washington State, in its second year, in which a major employer has funded an “ambulatory intensive care unit” at three sites, with proactive team-based care of the sickest 5% of patients and promotion of electronic messaging from patient to care team and among members of the care team, with registries, blogs, and online decision support.

Using Disruptive Technology to Revolutionize Healthcare Delivery
Propelled by the tail wind of legislation, the shift toward consumerism, the everlasting need for medical cost cutting and certain technological advancements - new systems can radically and rapidly change how healthcare is offered and consumed. We will consider one technology that simultaneously allows the consumer to take healthcare home with them, the health plan to change their role as facilitator of appropriate care, and the physician to improve their practicing lifestyle.

User-Controlled Identity Management Systems in Healthcare
All social and economic interactions between human beings in modern civilisation require the exchange of some personal data. The decision what data to make available is made intuitively in normal life, so for instance, the one of whether or not to state your name when shaking hands. In the online world, every person has to handle numerous accounts and data sets. These so-called "partial identities" will increasingly play a key role in future medical electronic data exchange. The PRIME project envisions user-controlled identity management systems within which the players concerned act together, mediated by technology to enforce the rules set by law and the contracting partners.
In these systems, the user has control of personal information and negotiates its disclosure in return for access to a service.
In all cases technology supports accountability and recourse.
Alberto Sanna, PhD
Director, e-Services for Life & Health, Scientific Institute and University H San Raffaele; Project Manager, Personalized Information Platform for Life and Health Services (PIPS)
