Healthcare Data’s Moment of Lift

This past week, I had the opportunity to present with Dr. Peter Rasmussen of Cleveland Clinic on developing digital health innovation roadmaps at SHSMD Connections 2019 (anyone interested in a copy of the presentation, drop me a note). It was one of the most heavily attended sessions at the conference. Our takeaway was that there is a great deal of interest in what digital transformation means. However, there is also a lack of clarity on how to get started with the transformation and how to expand ongoing digital health programs.

Those of you who have read Melinda Gates’ book will know that the moment of lift is when an aircraft’s wheels leave the ground at takeoff. It’s also a metaphor for the moment that a new initiative reaches critical mass and momentum. Healthcare data is being unlocked in a series of industry collaborations, supported by a government initiative to promote interoperability at the national level. In my latest opinion piece in CIO, I discuss how healthcare data’s moment of lift is approaching.

While the unlocking of data has the potential for accelerating research, innovation, and improvements in quality of care, a proper framework of incentives is a critical component in achieving these objectives. This piece in NEJM provides a good overview of how to create win-win partnerships in data sharing.

An interesting non-profit initiative in California is attempting to bring together clinical and claims data at the point of care for improved outcomes.
