  • This Is the 19Th Annual Sohn Investment Conference. the First
    This is the 19th Annual Sohn Investment Conference. The first time Ispoke here was in 2002. It is amazing how this great event has grown, and I am honored to be here. 1 2 A couple weeks ago, we wrote in our quarterly letter that we believe that a narrow group of cool kid stocks have disconnected from traditional valuations and formed a bubble. This got a lot of criticism. Half the critics thought we were talking our book, even though we didn’t name names. The other half were upset that we didn’t tell them which stocks we were short. Since we can’t seem to please anybody, I’ve decided to validate both criticisms. Today, I’m going to illustrate the bubble basket doing a deep dive into one of the companies, while not disclosing the others. This company is an excellent company with an excellent product, run by a well‐meaning and honest, though occasionally promotional CEO. The world may be a better place if it succeeds, and even though we are short, I am in no way rooting for it to fail. Its main problem is that it isn’t positioned to succeed the way the bulls hope, as the assumptions the bulls are making are not plausible. The stock is simply at the wrong price. It’s caught up in a bubble and could easily fall 80% or more from its recent peak. Let me introduce you to athenahealth. 3 I think athena deserves a smaller capitalization, and I’m not just referring to how it fails to capitalize the first letter of its name.

  • LECO RCM Health IT Data Analytics Quarterly Update Q1 2015
    Q1 2015 M&A Update RCM, Healthcare IT, Data, and Analytics Healthcare Cybersecurity Patients are demanding more convenient and personal care. Healthcare IT has changed the way that doctors and patients interact. It allows patents to track their own health and generate data that was previously not available to care providers. In addition, health information exchanges are being created to enable access to electronic medical records across the healthcare industry. As the patients’ personal healthcare information becomes digital, cybersecurity threat is an increasingly important issue in the healthcare industry, especially as incidents such as the Anthem and Premera data breaches show that organizations of any size could be a target. The chart below shows the breakdown of detected incidents in the healthcare industry. As seen, 70% of the companies in the industry have some forms of incident. In 2014, the number of respondents in the healthcare industry who reported to the U.S. State of Cybercrime Survey indicated that unintentional exposure of private or sensitive information was 83% higher than overall respondents. This is a very critical shortcoming for a highly regulated industry that deals in sensitive personal information. Source: PwC The Protecting Cyber Network Act (PCNA)1, passed by a 307-116 bi-partisan vote in early April, states that it will “improve cybersecurity in the United States through enhanced sharing of information about cybersecurity threats.” This act will significantly increase the National Security Agency’s (NSA) access to personal information, and authorize the federal government to use that information for various purposes unrelated to cybersecurity. The broad and ambiguous language in the act cause concerns from various civil liberties groups.

  • PROPERTY RIGHTS and ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS by Jessica Carges
    No. 17-37 Summer 2017 MERCATUS GRADUATE POLICY ESSAY PROPERTY RIGHTS AND ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS by Jessica Carges The opinions expressed in this Graduate Policy Essay are the author’s and do not represent official positions of the Mercatus Center or George Mason University. Abstract This is an analysis of the current assignment of property rights of electronic health records and patient medical data. The paper focuses on the adverse incentives created by the current structure of property rights and hypothesizes that giving patients and provers co-ownership of medical data will best address concerns about interoperability and privacy, and also result in a number of additional positive benefits. Next the paper describes ways to make stronger patient ownership a reality despite the presence of special interest groups incentivized to block access. The paper concludes with state policy level analysis examining New Hampshire – the only state to currently grant patient ownership over medical data and electronic health record. this paper finds that state governments can follow New Hampshire’s lead and extend co-property rights to patients and providers to improve interoperability and privacy outcomes. Author Bio Jessica Carges is a research associate with the State Fiscal Health Team at The Pew Charitable Trusts. She received an MA in economics from George Mason University, and is an alumna of the Mercatus MA Fellowship program. Jessica holds a BS in economics, also from George Mason University.
