adminNo man is an island. Neither is his medical record file.
To practice intelligent medicine and advance medical technology discovery and development, the power of consolidated medical data needs to be harnessed.
Clinical trials are not the only source of scientific discovery. Retrospective analysis of site-specific procedural and product use and consumption metrics reveal essential medical professional decision and use insights without violating the individual’s personal medical records, satisfying HIPPA and other regulations. And the later source of data can do so in a much more cost effective manner using current bar coding technologies and data entry, securely and selectively accessing remote hospital databanks. Since medical records for patient cohorts would be pulled as consolidated groups, no one person’s medical records would be inappropriately revealed.
But all has to operate in a virtual space to be fully accessible and must be fully compatible to be most effective. And what better way than through cloud computing where content management meets essential applications?
Ask yourself, “In this extremely tough economy, how will my company cost effectively manage its own content-rich databases of retrospective data to improve our decision-making capabilities?”
