Premier healthcare alliance, a Perficient client and a project I spent over a year working on has just launched a massive virtual care portal for their members. PremierConnect is a member facing portal that allows healthcare professionals to collaborate, connect, share, and react to data and actionable activities within one space. It brings together clinical data, purchasing information, outcome date to create a ‘total cost of care’ view that has yet to be seen in the marketplace. Here is what the CEO of Catholic Healthcare has to say:
Health systems today need an integrated look into utilization, costs, efficiency and quality,” Michael D. Connelly, CEO of Catholic Health Partners, said in a statement. “With this information, we can further build out the predictive capabilities that will help us find opportunities and enact corrective actions before they affect patients.”
I came across this graphic from a colleague, Michael Porter which came from a PwC report on healthcare and social.
Honestly, who wouldn’t want a space where your doctor could collaborate with other like-minded colleagues on treatment to maximize the outcome? Well, soon enough, if docs want to get paid they have to figure out how to do this – its call Accountable Care. In reality, its a double standard that we wouldn’t want to have doctors collaborate when over 70% of patients use a web tool to pre/post diagnose prior or post clinic visit.
Premier is transforming how healthcare is delivered and how outcomes are defined as a success. PremierConnect is just a lens into a much larger way to modernize healthcare delivery.
But Don’t Stalk Me
Fri, May 10th 2013 6:21a Michael Porter Back in March, I mentioned a Global Survey Oracle did on customer experience. That’s been a hot topic of late in my world. As part of that survey, they continue to build off of the nuggets of information found in that survey. Emil Fernandez pointed me to an update on that survey that includes a video on millenials and how they wish to engage or be engaged. The short video highlights a few way they would prefer to engage. I found it hilarious that at about 45 seconds, one teenager say [read] Keywords: oracle

Portal Beauty and the User Experience
Thu, May 9th 2013 6:18a Michael Porter Dr. Marci Stochak-Chavez just posted an article on our health blog somewhat related to yesterday’s post. She focuses on whether beauty is in the eye of the beholder for a portal. In here article, she references a design a portal challenge in New York City.

Thu, May 2nd 2013 6:18p Axel Newe Today Salesforce.com announced its long awaited release of Communities, which in Salesforce’s own words ended the era of legacy portal software. These are heady words, but Salesforce may have actually created something that is taking the portal concept into a different direction. The motor that is driving Communities is Chatter, Salesforce’s social collaboration platform. Salesforce.com used to have distinct offerings for Partner and Customer portals. With Communities, Partners, [read] Keywords: collaboration

Developing SharePoint 2013 Apps
Mon, Apr 8th 2013 7:16a Mark Polly I recently purchased the book Microsoft SharePoint 2013 App Development to try to get more familiar with the changes coming about in SharePoint 2013 apps. The link points to the O’Reilly site, but you can also get it from Amazon too. (As a side note, I find it very hard to read a printed book anymore; everything I’ve read in the last two years has been on one of my mobile devices.)
