Cambridge Community NHS Trust tenders for WSDII Local (UK)
...over the same time period, and at worst, could show adverse results simply down to the 111 implementation timing. My background is not in statistics but I can recommend this MRC paper which provides guidance on development, evaluation and implementation of complex interventions to improve health: http://www.mrc.ac.uk/Utilities/Documentrecord/index.htm?d=MRC004871 Given the nature of most telehealth programmes in the UK, I would consider using the 'Stepped wedge design' (case study 6- page 22). This takes in to account the resource constraints in making telehealth available to a large population at once, without delaying the implementation of the intervention. I would also consider another... Continue Reading

‘Patent trolls’: will they pounce on your company?
Ray Felts of crowdsource patent-research company Article One Partners shines a spotlight, along with mHIMSS and your editors, on the plague of what he terms ‘patent trolls’ attacking early-stage companies. Trolls are defined as non-practicing entities (NPEs) that don’t actually create or market products. Rather they buy up patents for licensing purposes and to collect related fees, but their real business is, in Mr. Felts’ words, holding up startups for settlements: “The patent troll threatens to sue for significant royalties. The financial threat, business distraction and cost of defending the company disposes the startup to a lower settlement. Faced with... Continue Reading
Not quite a ‘patent troll’ but a view of an endgame?
...was not to collect pennies from petite practices or pills from your local pharmacy, but to collect evidence of use for claims of patent violations from developers and large organizations. According to FierceEMR based on their November release, MMRG has signed license agreements valued at more than $30 million. Here are the big tunas they are setting on the hook: At the end of January, the company filed suit against Walgreens in US District Court, claiming that Walgreens’ “Manage Your Prescription Service” infringes on MMRG’s patents and seeks not only an injunction but also to collect fees. (FierceEMR, 5 Feb;... Continue Reading

Major EHR puts a $25 million bet on mHealth
EHRs, a/k/a the Rodney Dangerfield of eHealth, may be hedging their bets by placing their chips on mHealth. eClinicalWorks, one of the estimated 600+ EHRs in the US market, but one of the few with any real market share due to its preference by many state regional extension centers (RECs), announced yesterday that they are developing a from-scratch 100-person division called ‘healow’ (Health & Online Wellness) to develop systems that drive online consumer engagement–according to the article, “to make appointments, check test results, or ask their doctor a question on the go”. CEO Girish Navani claims that they have already... Continue Reading
Telemedicine consults save money, time: two-year study
A two-year (2010-12) study published in Health Affairs of 40,000 online consults via Minnesota-based integrated delivery system/insurer HealthPartners found that they reduced billing by an average of $88.03 per case (average cost: $40) and saved about 2.5 hours per patient. Patients were seen through the system’s 24/7 Virtuwell online clinic for 40 different primary care conditions, with the three most frequent being sinusitis, urinary tract infections and conjunctivitis. However, Virtuwell does not use video practitioner-patient consults, instead walking patients through an online automated interview about symptoms, medical history, allergies and medications. Then a nurse practitioner reviews each patient’s information and... Continue Reading
