This is a unique story here but patient information via HIPAA needs to be protected and instead of transferring patient data right into a MDVIP data base, he could have taken another route and that would have been to have the patients use a PHR. Yes it is a little extra work but if patients would...

This is good news here and will certainly help quite a bit. If you notice the wording here it will “decrease” the risk of linking two data sets together. I have done my share of queries and know how the processes works to attain data, so this is a good thing all the way around. The...

All DNA samples and medical records have been de-identified so use in research can take place. The research will be able to determine if genetic information in the medical records could help improve patient care via using personalized medicine, based on genomic information added to a medical chart...

100,000 Kaiser Permanente members will have some format of genomic sequencing performed, the article doesn’t state whether this is a whole or partial interpretation but it is all good. At the base of all the research and grants is their electronic medical records system. Again, going back...

The center will offer 9 tests initially and will grow to 50 by year end. The article stated there are over 2000 currently available, but the hospital is selectively working to find the tests that will best benefit diagnosis and treatments for their patients. The number of tests is continuing...

Hard Hat Area: The University is soon to post on CodePlex, the open source community page from Microsoft. What is amazing to me is the fact that the Popfly platform was used for Silvermap, so now we have bio-mashups too. The processing of images can now take place at the desktop instead...

I try to cover quite a bit on the blog relative to personalized medicine and how it links and will connect to the clinical side of healthcare. Navigenics has always had the focus on working with the physicians versus the commercial direct sale to the consumer. MDVIP, Inc. is a privately-held firm...

Let’s put it another way, it can’t exist without IT. Again it all comes back to running algorithms to obtain desired results. As I have mentioned before, Algorithms is one of the hottest words right now in healthcare as we all make decisions from queried results. A while back I had the opportunity...
