It has taken me a while to catch up and recover from being at HIMSS12 last week, but I’ve finally had a chance to sit down and reflect on what I saw and learned during that busy week.  So below are my higlights:

It has taken me a while to catch up and recover from being at HIMSS12 last week, but I’ve finally had a chance to sit down and reflect on what I saw and learned during that busy week.  So below are my higlights:

  • Thoughts from Biz Stone: 
    • Opportunity can be manufactured! You can create it!
    • Creativity is a renewable resource. It is infinite! Challenges are fun puzzles; not problems!
  • Thoughts about the Future from the Smith and Hobbs presentation on Clinical Mobile Applications: 
    • 500 million people are expected to manage health concerns with smartphone apps by 2015 according to Research 2 Guidance 2010.
    • “Drive discovery about behavior, adapting to person and optimizing behavior”
    • The convergence of biology and machine
    • We need to establish risk model taxonomies for consumers, providers and manufacturers for safe & secure apps.
    • We need sensors to pick up signs that an intervention is needed in healthcare, just like our cars are doing today.
  • CMS’ ICD 10 and Version 5010 Implementation Timeline widget
  • Guam HIE Project that demonstrate its Secure Messaging capabilities using the Nationwide Health Information Network Direct Project for coordinated care and disaster communications.
  • Kaiser Permanente launched its new Mobile Optimized kp.org app giving members access to their medical records, refill prescriptiosn, appointments and messaging via mobile devices.
  • Learned about iTriage’s ER CheckIn smartphone app service that hospital staff of incoming patients. iTriage is the same one that made it to my list of top apps for the flu season late last year.
  • The There’s an App for That presentation demonstrating apps for vision, hearing, sleep, sobriety test, contractions/labor, smoking cessation, heart rate, spirometry, Airstrip, AED, allergy alert, EKG, podiatry, and more.
  • The Patient Safety Company promoted their cloud environment and apps for safety and risk.  Also, help you develop your own apps. 
  • Seeing MicroBloggingMD a microblogging platform used for secure hospital communications.
  • Learning about Happitique which classifies apps for professionals which helps with the sorting process of the thousands of available apps and provides an enterprise mHealth solution. 
  • Talking to several people about the move toward BYOD (bring-your-own-device) and the associated risks (including data security) in healthcare environments. (Stay tuned for an BYOD post to come.)
  • Experiencing my first “hat interview” as tweeted by @EHRworkflow
  • Learning about HealthInfo Island, Health Support Coalition, Cancer Co-Op, AIDS and HIV Support, etc  — communities on the virtual world 2nd Life.
  • And, getting an update from Zac on Louisiana’s HIT/HIE activities.

But, the absolute best part of the week was finally meeting several of my blogger friends in person! Talking with them in person gave us a chance to bring our relationship full circle.  Some I just met this past year, but I’ve known two since first starting to blog in 2005 — @hospitaltony and @techguy.
