In this edition of InterConnect, we discuss how information sharing is helping healthcare providers increase productivity, facilitate "meaningful use," and ultimately improve the quality of care. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=82 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:31:23 GMT 23 InterConnect, May 2010 http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=70 Tue, 11 May 2010 16:11:33 GMT 22 I've written in the past that HIE is more than just technology, and there's no doubt that is the case. Time and again, vendors drop technology solutions off at the door only to indifferently move on as their technology sits and collects dust; the technology purchasers, on the other hand, once rapt with the blinking lights of automation, rapidly devolve, suffering buyer's remorse. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=71 Tue, 11 May 2010 16:10:42 GMT 21 At an elevation of over 6,000 feet above sea level, Pikes Peak Nephrology Associates (PPNA) is the oldest and largest nephrology practice in Southern Colorado. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=72 Tue, 11 May 2010 16:10:12 GMT 20 Only he that has traveled the road knows where the holes are deep - Chinese proverb http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=73 Tue, 11 May 2010 16:09:31 GMT 19 These are very exciting times for MobileMD. Our Users' Group meeting on November 5, was a wonderful success. Our engineering team has worked successfully to port aspects of our Enterprise Access application to the iPhone and prove out the ability of our HIE to integrate with the NHIN-CONNECT. And, MobileMD has taken on a business partner, Health Enterprise Partners ("HEP") - a New York City-based private equity firm that specializes in healthcare. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=44 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:37:26 GMT 18 At the end of November, the Governor's Office of Health Care Reform ("GOHCR") submitted a proposed plan outlining a strategy to expedite and implement the Pennsylvania Health Information Exchange ("PHIX"). In my opinion, the plan is precariously perched on the precipice of disaster. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=45 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:32:32 GMT 17 Sign posts on the journey to HIEs http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=47 Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:31:21 GMT 15 MobileMD is in the midst of preparing for our annual Users' Group meeting to be held in Philadelphia on November 5th. With an outstanding response from our clients, we anticipate a dynamic environment and exchange of ideas and experiences. We will discuss, among many topics, industry direction and MobileMD product improvements critical to support the evolving standards and definitions emanating from various industry organizations as well as governmental agencies such as the ONC. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=36 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:59:47 GMT 14 The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is the latest in a series of initiatives to incentivize hospitals to use electronic health records (EHRs) and communicate among its service providers to improve outcomes, decision-making and care processes. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=37 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:58:50 GMT 13 Meet Dr. Robert A. Ruggerio, father, grandfather, top orthopaedic surgeon, athlete and competitive runner. In 2002 he founded the annual "Race Against Arthritis", which became the annual Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis. He also founded Ruggerio Orthopaedic Associates, now known as the Pennsylvania Orthopaedic Center (PAOC) with four office locations and three physical therapy facilities serving the Delaware Valley. Dr. Ruggerio is an affiliated physician with Main Line Health Hospitals. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=38 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:58:26 GMT 12 The Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN), has taken some time to become a reality. It's been five years since an executive order from former President George W. Bush came down encouraging a broader, far-reaching use of health information technology. Yet, an important step was taken in 2008 when federal agencies, through the Federal Health Architecture program, decided to develop an open source software program to facilitate the interconnection of health IT systems across the country. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=39 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:53:32 GMT 11 Only he that has traveled the road knows where the holes are deep - Chinese proverb http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=40 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:51:42 GMT 10 I like to think of this edition’s timing as a “strategic coincidence.” as it is presented to you less than a week before the 4th annual National Health IT Week begins next Monday, Sept. 21st in Washington. InterConnect offers MobileMD’s voice and field experience to all advocates of health information technology – particularly the secure, electronic exchange, integration, and access of clinical information absolutely critical to support quality patient care. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=29 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:07:21 GMT 9 Meet Harm J.

As a result, CHW is constantly looking for innovative ways to better serve its patients and providers and had been evaluating connectivity products for the Arizona market. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=30 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:05:41 GMT 7 Opting for Patient Privacy: Are You In or Are You Out? By: Todd Fisher, CEO MobileMD The introduction of information technology in healthcare is clearly increasing, is certainly long overdue, and provides great potential in terms of improved patient care and cost containment. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=33 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:04:02 GMT 6 The Washington Hospital, a community teaching hospital near Pittsburgh, has long made it a priority to improve clinical integration with the 220 providers in its physician hospital organization. So when, a few years ago, several of the largest, most influential specialty practices within the Washington Physician Hospital Organization (WPHO) began clamoring for relief from the heavy volume of paper-based patient records they were receiving from the hospital, Washington Hospital was receptive. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=12 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:03:00 GMT 2 Taking a significant step towards establishing a leadership role in the implementation of health information technology (“HIT”) for their physician community, South Jersey Healthcare (“SJH”) has signed an agreement with MobileMD™ to implement MobileMD’s Health Information Exchange (HIE) and Enterprise Access (EA) technologies and services. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=11 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:02:52 GMT 3 I’d like to provide my initial impressions of the administration's first draft of what is unquestionably the most important set of definitions being reviewed, analyzed and interpreted by the healthcare provider and technology communities today. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=10 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:02:46 GMT 4 Welcome to the first edition of InterConnect, the monthly e-Newsletter from MobileMD™. As is customary, during my first note in our first edition to our e-Newsletter, I’d like to introduce you to our company. http://www.mobilemd.com/default.aspx?pg=9 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:02:36 GMT 5 Michael Mignoli, MD, FACP, is a board-certified internist at SouthPark Internal Medicine in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.
