Consumers who want a highy secure way to access their records might be interested to know that we are advancing the idea of using a PHR linked to the online banking platform. This platform is one of the nation's most trusted portals, used by some 55 million American households and growing. Its layered thick with security to keep the bad guys away from our money.
When you think about it, the banking industry is locked into an Identity Theft Arms Race with the bad guys. They are constantly adjusting security to keep your money safe. If they lose that battle they lose public trust and that's unacceptable for commerce or government.
We envision linkage of the online banking portal to a family health website to do things like request records, review healthcare expenses, do research on family treatments, schedule doctor appointments, pay for services and much more. Think of it as "single sign on for the consumer".
Clearly for this type of program to work it will require strong privacy and security protections. We believe this is a fundamental right so incorporating protocols in our Gold Seal program that requires consumer authorization, a high degree of privacy and confidentiality, and the requirement to give permission to use the data in marketing (for example), is obviously very important and a fundamental component of any viable medical banking strategy.]]>Comment on More Than a Reminder to take your Pillstag:ehealth.johnwsharp.com,2008-06-30:1158665Farhan Khanhttp://medpharm.blogspot.com/2008-06-30T07:48:56Z2008-06-30T07:48:56Zhttp://medpharm.blogspot.com/]]>Comment on Presentation Tomorrow on Web 2.0 in Health Caretag:ehealth.johnwsharp.com,2008-06-26:1150760Mark Phillips2008-06-26T15:55:41Z2008-06-26T15:55:41ZThanks, Mark]]>Comment on Presentation Tomorrow on Web 2.0 in Health Caretag:ehealth.johnwsharp.com,2008-06-26:1150290Samhttp://www.webtribes.com2008-06-26T12:03:03Z2008-06-26T12:03:03Zwww.webtribes.com.

1. How will they handle the network demands that these sites often need. Hospitals as well as Universities are lamenting that they can't keep up with current bandwidth demands, opening up access to sites like YouTube and podcasting sites will increase the need for more bandwidth. 2. By allowing access to these sites to patients and families, employees will most likely also access them. What are the institutional policies regarding things like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube. 2a. Would all social networking be considered fun and off employee time? What about consulting with peers across the world or viewing a recommended surgical video on YouTube?
Lots of things to consider, I cross my fingers that hospitals and other institutions will start to address these and other questions and begin to embrace Web 2.0 applications.]]>Comment on Presentation Tomorrow on Web 2.0 in Health Caretag:ehealth.johnwsharp.com,2008-06-25:1147602Jeff O'Connorhttp://healthcareinformationsystemsblog.blogspot.com2008-06-25T11:52:28Z2008-06-25T11:52:28Z I'm very eager to hear what you have to say; thanks for taking on such a timely and poorly understood topic.]]>
