The Brits don't seem to mind the term "disease management" either. They're not calling themselves "t+Medical Population Care Enhancement Outcomes Optimization Health Solutions."
Hail Britannia!
A contrarian, brainy and literature-based resource by Jaan Sidorov that offers jargon-free information, insights, peer-review links and musings from the world of population health, disease management, the medical home, the chronic care model, accountable care organizations, the patient centered medical home, informatics, pay for performance, primary care, chronic illness and health insurance
medSolis pairs a simple, intuitive and scalable care management system with an easy-to-use hand-held patient “app.” This cloud-based technology can be integrated into practically any team-based care setting, including medical homes, specialty clinics, post-acute care, readmission reduction programs, ACOs and health plans.
medSolis' value propositions:
1) Easy-to-use interface.
2) No training. No infrastructure. Start small and scale up.
3) Turnkey solution that is adaptable to any population's needs.
“Moving into the next century, the most important breakthroughs will be in the from of clinical process innovation rather than clinical product improvement…the next big advances in health care will be the development of protocols for delivering patient care across health care settings over time.”

Jaan -- with digital radiography and more web based solutions we have still not adressed several fundemantal concerns -- namely cost and access for patients.
I recently heard the VP of a hospital (and director of IT) say that his goal was "to be 100% computerized in 5 yeras". In my (and many other health care providers) minds, hosptial goals need to be centered around infection rates, low wait times, lives saved, etc.... The patient is the metric that counts.
When we apply the same standard of cost per life year saved to the IT industry (as we do in the pharmacy) we might gain some perspective. To that end, I would like to see how the recent advent of the "server cloud" (large scale computing) can be used to improve access and increase efficiency though better data mining. There is a lot of data on our servers that could be used but is sitting useless. While I appreciate being able to view x-rays from home I'd be happier if I could get my patients in faster. www.waittimes.blogspot.com
