2. How do patients more engaged in their health
impact the healthcare industry?
• “How does increased patient engagement impact the
healthcare industry as a whole?”
3. Heterogeneity of data can bring down
malpractice suits…
• Most malpractice suits are the result of
miscommunication between patients and providers.
• Opaque medical procedures and pricing policies will
hopefully be eliminated, and when it eventually does, it
will lead to more trust and openness between providers
and patients.
4. Goodbye to organization centric EHRs!
• They will change the way EHRs are
developed and spell the end of EHRs
that are tied to the strings of their
developers.
• Patients who have complete control of
their data are not at the mercy of
physicians when they switch providers.
5. Ownership and responsibility…
• There is a lot of difference between a patient
who has only a vague idea of what medication
he is on and a patient who understands
clearly his medical condition and treatment
plan.
