About this Blog

As enterprise supply chains and consumer demand chains have beome globalized, they continue to inefficiently share information “one-up/one-down”. Profound "bullwhip effects" in the chains cause managers to scramble with inventory shortages and consumers attempting to understand product recalls, especially food safety recalls. Add to this the increasing usage of personal mobile devices by managers and consumers seeking real-time information about products, materials and ingredient sources. The popularity of mobile devices with consumers is inexorably tugging at enterprise IT departments to shifting to apps and services. But both consumer and enterprise data is a proprietary asset that must be selectively shared to be efficiently shared.

Who Owns My Healthcare Data?

In late 2006 Shahid Shah invited me to submit a guest article to his blog, The Healthcare IT Guy blog.

I was pleased to accept his invitation and here's the introduction made by Shahid:

"Healthcare data ownership is an important issue and I was pleased to run across Pardalis, a company specializing it. Although they don’t focus only on healthcare, they intrigued me because they appear to be a cross between a nascent supply chain Google, eBay, and author-controlled Wikipedia. That is, they claim to be able to increase availability of on-demand healthcare information (which lots of companies are doing) but they provide real-time control over the process of sharing such information to patients and healthcare information producers (which very few allow today). It’s unique enough that they’ve recently been awarded a couple of patents. Pardalis is company worth keeping an eye on because if they can achieve even part of what they plan it could lead to a practical realization of software as a service that might give more than just lip service to privacy and be able to address the economic realities of ‘data ownership’. I invited Pardalis’ founder and CEO, Steve Holcombe, to discuss why he believes healthcare informatics seems be trapped within a technological Tower of Babel."

 And here's the link to my guest article entitled Who Owns My Healthcare Data?
