Kolodner - HRSA HIT and Quality Webinar 12 4 March 2011 A Different Way to Think About Open Source • Could the critical aspect be the PROCESS, not the product? o **Collaboration** o “Network effect” – more innovations from more people . Bigger effect if open source INCLUDED proprietary product users • Is an ECOSYSTEM necessary to be self-sustaining and achieve “viral” growth? o Self-organizing and self-defining o Impact of diversity “better” solutions available? • Could the critical driver for better solutions be USER CHOICE? o User choice re “best value” – worth paying more or not? o Antithesis of “product lock-in” (not just “vendor lock-in”) o Dependent upon architecture – “modularity” and interfaces o Not necessarily better with “open source” than “proprietary” . BOTH can be equally restrictive Kolodner - HRSA HIT and Quality Webinar 13 4 March 2011 Open Source Products (Vs. Proprietary) • Cheaper? [Total Cost of Ownership] – Not necessarily o There are less expensive, high quality, proprietary EHRs now on the market o Run and maintain remotely (in the “cloud”) -- where bandwidth is available • Mix-and-match better with other products? - No o Open source products focus on their user base . Multiple, “stove-piped,” open source EHRs exist o Barriers to “snapping together” modules / components . Architecture & interface standardization issues >> licensing • Should clinicians have to be geeks to have / use EHRs? – NO!! Kolodner - HRSA HIT and Quality Webinar 14 4 March 2011 What is “the Technology World” Like Outside of Health IT? • Characteristics of other (mature) technology sectors o Highly competitive: customer-driven (user-driven) market o Innovative: Rapidly changing solutions o Increasing value: More functionality at same or less cost o Companies compete by providing better value, not by competing on infrastructure o Exponential growth and greater opportunities once standard infrastructure established • Periodic disruptions causing market leadership to change using evolving business models o Lower cost more affordable by more customers Kolodner - HRSA HIT and Quality Webinar 15 4 March 2011 Next Step in Health IT – “Hybrid Open Source?” • Open source infrastructure (“platforms”) across products o Proprietary as well as open source o Hybrid solutions – open source, proprietary, or combination • “Tools” to speed transition and use o For developers to create solutions o For users to easily choose, combine, & configure their own solutions . Alternatively, lower cost to hire “solution providers” to do the work • An evolutionary path for existing products and solutions o Products become modular with standardized “linkages” o Some will choose to compete / ignore and become dinosaurs Kolodner - HRSA HIT and Quality Webinar 16 4 March 2011 Did You Know What the Future Was Going to Look Like? Kolodner - HRSA HIT and Quality Webinar 17 4 March 2011 The Future of Health IT • Health IT solutions o Available more quickly o Require less skill to use o Lower cost o More convenient “Faster, easier, cheaper, more convenient” Kolodner - HRSA HIT and Quality Webinar 18 4 March 2011 Anticipated Health IT Impacts • Better health and care outcomes o Improved health IT solutions for managing health information • Fosters innovation o “Low barrier to entry” for improvements • Unleashes user-driven collaboration o Not constrained by “product” boundaries . Proprietary or open source • Explosion of choices o EASY for users to select and implement Kolodner - HRSA HIT and Quality Webinar 19 4 March 2011 Notable Quote – W.

  • An Empirical Case Analysis on the Vendor Products with Electronic
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 An Empirical Case Analysis on the Vendor Products with Electronic Health Records on Global Perspectives Ali Fahem Neamah Computer science and IT faculty, wasit university Iraq [email protected] Abstract The maintenance and logging in the health records is always required so that the overall predictive mining can be done on the patient records. In addition, the recording and maintenance of electronic health records is quite mandatory whereby the digital repository related to the patient is very important so that the future based predictions and the analytics can be retained. In addition to this, the patient records are providing the medical practitioners the higher degree of accuracy in the predictions and the aspects related to the knowledge discovery about that particular patient to have the effectiveness. By this way, the overall medical records can be maintained. In this research manuscript, the enormous tools and the vendors are presented usable for the electronic health records. The presented work is having the cavernous analytics on the vendor products associated with the electronic health records whereby the global perspectives and data analytics are cited. Keywords:Electronic Health Records, EHR, EMR, Electronic Medical Records Introduction Electronic Health Records (EHR) as well as Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are very important for the integration of records associated with the patients so that the overall records can be maintained about the specific set of patients [1, 2]. There are assorted suites and libraries for the electronic health and medical records thereby the medical records are logged for the future usage [3, 4, 5].

E-mails*: [email protected] * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; Tel.: +4-0264-431697; Fax: +4-0264- 593847 Received: 1 November 2012 /Accepted: 21 December 2012 / Published online: 27 December 2012 Abstract The computerization of medical records is a common goal for modern healthcare systems. The aim of this research was to identify the main attributes of the free software development model for health informatics projects used to computerize a medical office or a small clinic, that ensures their success. Material and methods: Our study has assessed the benefits that electronics health records can bring to small health care facilities by analyzing a limited number of open source software suites in the area of medical informatics. We have investigated the way in which these benefits may be achieved by implementing the presented software solutions, taking care to highlight the peculiarities of the open source model of development that prove to be differentiating factors against equivalent closed source commercial solutions. Results: The paper presents the facts about the projects and the assessment criteria used in the study: developer community, user community, online resources, user interface ergonomy, documentation, hardware requirements. Conclusion: The main attributes of the free software development model for health informatics projects used to computerize a medical office or a small clinic that ensures their success, were: clarity, simplicity, extensibility, documentation.

Big data [1] has the industry, more and more healthcare data are being potential to manage the large datasets. Every day a collected from different sources. Extracting, maintain and used further for analysis is a complex task in the health zettabyte (1021 gigabytes) of data being generated care industry. Health care data is generated enormously by healthcare industry in India. Various sources are every bit of a second analyze that data is difficult by any there, through which health care data is generated conventional methods so data big data gain interest among the research communities. Big data is a viable solution to such as medical record of a patient, images of solve these problems. In this paper, authors give an infected body part, IOT data, Smartphone health overview of the big data possibility in healthcare domain. data. Many applications are developed that record It outlines the 5V’s of big data in health care and a brief the health data of every second of a user.
