The Challenge of Patient360: Supporting Systems of Engagement with Systems of Record
When healthcare professionals talk about the benefits of a 360-degree view of the patient — or Patient360 — the discussion often ignores the complexities involved in pulling that off. Patient360 demands that organizations convert systems of record into systems of engagement. Or rather, it is about making it possible for new, modern systems of engagement to easily draw data from existing systems of record.
That, in turn, requires a platform that allows all the players in the healthcare lifecycle, which include payers, providers, third-party services used by either, and patients to exchange data securely with a minimum of friction.

Building Open Healthcare With API Management
Open healthcare’s time has arrived.
What the healthcare marketplace needs now is a way to easily provide and share products and services that enable healthcare consumers, providers, payers, and third-party services to interact with greater ease. Such an open healthcare marketplace will push the boundaries of data transparency for healthcare consumers.
This might sound to some like an impossible dream for healthcare, but API integration provides a clear path to making open healthcare a reality.

Addressing Integration Challenges in Healthcare, Part II: Q&A with Sudhir Kulkarni, President of Digital, Persistent Systems
Thousands of healthcare technology professionals – from patients to practitioners to technology providers – are set to gather in Orlando, Fla., later this month for the annual HIMSS conference. HIMSS is one of the largest and most important healthcare IT conferences in the United States.
Perhaps the most crucial task facing healthcare technology professionals is the integration of applications and data among the diverse players in the healthcare ecosystem, including doctors, hospitals, insurers, employers, governmental organizations, device makers, pharmaceutical companies and patients.

How Can Pharma Boost Its Digital Quotient?
New research from McKinsey & Company, a worldwide management consulting firm, highlights that the pharmaceutical industry lags “dramatically” behind most other industries in digital modernization.
McKinsey assessed the “digital maturity” of more than 200 companies worldwide across 18 common practices spanning four dimensions: strategy, capabilities, organization, and culture.
On a scale of 1-100, pharmaceutical companies averaged a “digital quotient” score of 27, only slightly better than the least digitally progressive industry, the public sector (local, state and national government).

Application integration at the “speed of cloud” while maintaining full data security
In the end, it’s about choice. To continue to freely choose where and how you run and deliver applications and maintain your own particular security and compliance scheme, you need an integration scheme that doesn’t require you to change your application architecture. As explained by Tom Barton, head of integration services at Novartis, at the Cloud Slam conference this week.
