The Daily Dose; Ideas, News & Opinions

NY Times: Rethinking the office building for net-zero energy use.

From PRWeb via Yahoo! News: MindMatters' solutions for innovation are helping health care organizations tap into and act on latent ideas and expertise.  

From The Independent.com: Lincoln, NE's physician-owned Nebraska Heart Hospital to be sold.  Frankly, I've always seen this - eventual sale to a deep-pocketed hospital - as the end-game for physician owners.  Cashing out is just another way to get paid, notwithstanding all the window dressing about hospitals and physicians working together for the good of mankind.  

From Enterprise City blog and Crain's Chicago Business: " Ellen Malloy: Experience not required but enthusiasm is."  Leaving what's comfortable in favor of a social media-fueled reinvention, learning as you go.

Quote for the day:  The continuing (or just-ending financial crisis, depending on who you believe in these matters) has caused me to re-read "Against The Gods: The Remarkable Story Of Risk" by Peter L. Bernstein.  Early in the book you find this:  "When the capital development of a country becomes the by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done."  (John Maynard Keynes)  Yep.

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

Being Disrupted Ain't Fun. Deal With It.

Articles about disrupting healthcare, particularly those analogizing, say, Tesla's example with healthcare's current state, are frequently met with a chorus of (paraphrasing here) "Irrelevant! Cars are easy, healthcare is hard." You know, patients and doctors as examples of "information asymmetry" and all that. Well, let me ask you this: assuming you drive a car with a traditional internal combustion engine, how much do you know about the metallurgy in your car's engine block? I'll bet the answer is: virtually nothing. In fact it's probably less than you know about your own body's GI tract. Yet somehow, every day, us (allegedly) ignorant people buy and drive cars without help from a cadre of experts. Most of us do so and live happily ever after (at least until the warranty expires. Warranties...another thing healthcare could learn from Tesla.) Now, us free range dummies - impatient with information asymmetry - are storming healthcare

My Take On Anthem-Cigna, Big Dumb Companies and the Executives Who Run Them

After last Friday's Appeals Court decision, Anthem's hostile takeover of, er, merger with Cigna has but a faint pulse. Good. Unplug the respirator. Cigna's figured it out but Anthem is like that late-late horror show where the corpse refuses to die. Meanwhile, 150 McKinsey consultants are on standby for post-merger "integration" support. I guess "no deal, no paycheck..." is powerfully motivating to keep the patient alive a while longer. In court, Anthem argued that assembling a $54 billion behemoth is a necessary precondition to sparking all manner of wondrous innovations and delivering $2.4 billion in efficiencies. The basic argument appears to be "We need to double in size to grow a brain. And just imagine all those savings translating directly into lower premiums for employers and consumers."  Stop. Read that paragraph again. Ignore the dubious "lower premiums" argument and focus on the deal's savings. $2.4 billion saved
