The Week In Ideas

First: the new age of nanomedicine.  "This type of imaging verges on Star Trek territory." (Medical News Today)     
    Why not...   Embrace the emerging opportunities provided by molecular imaging and photoacoustic tomography to improve the management of high-risk patients with life-threatening disease?  And ask whether this technology would be additive to your roster or what it might replace.

      Next: artists and musicians will work for health care, exchanging their art for treatment.  An intriguing idea, though difficult to scale and not a long-term substitute for insurance. (Business Week) 
        You could try...   Replicating the O+ Festival in your community.  Or building an on-line exchange to connect artists with willing caregivers.
          Finally, overhauling the states' long-term care delivery systems using innovation roadmaps from the Center for Health Care Strategies. (Medical News Today) 

            What if...   Care was transformed by learning from the examples of a few pioneering, boundary-pushing states?  Ideas and roadmaps...what else do you need beyond a skilled facilitator, maybe?

              Michael Porter On Health Care Reform

              Michael Porter, writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, proposes "A Strategy For Health Care Reform - Toward A Value-Based System." His proposals are fundamental, lucid and right-on, meaning they're sure to be opposed by some parties to the debate, the so-called "Yes, but..." crowd. Most important, in my opinion, is this: "... electronic medical records will enable value improvement, but only if they support integrated care and outcome measurement. Simply automating current delivery practices will be a hugely expensive exercise in futility. Among our highest near-term priorities is to finalize and then continuously update health information technology (HIT) standards that include precise data definitions (for diagnoses and treatments, for example), an architecture for aggregating data for each patient over time and across providers, and protocols for seamless communication among systems. "Finally, consumers must become much mor...

              "An Affordable Fix For Modernizing Medical Records"

              ...from the Veterans Health Administration and Midland (TX) Memorial Hospital. I know enough about my own strengths and weaknesses to know that I'm no IT expert. But I am acutely interested in examples of people and teams thinking differently to solve long-standing, intractable problems and, for better or worse, there are lots of those to be found in the IT realm. Yesterday, it was a story about a team adding iPhone portability to MEDITECH functionality, delivering to harried physicians better access to clinical data and more productive hours in every work day. (Wow. Apple in the boardroom AND the physician lounge. Has to be an IT traditionalist's worst nightmare. But I digress...) Today, the Wall Street Journal features a story about Midland (TX) Memorial Hospital finding an affordable, open-source alternative to proprietary EMR systems : "In the push to digitize America's hospitals, Midland Memorial faced an all-too-common dilemma: a crying need for information ...
