Re: [projectvrm] VRM in healthcare (even if they don't call it that)

[Adrian Gropper < >]

I'm sorry Drummond but I find this well-meaning talk to be misinformed and misleading in almost every way. This is a field that I've devoted the last 10 years of my life and well over $1 million to and to see other doctors (like this entrepreneur, I too had a radiology perspective on the problem) being seduced by a toxic series of national policies makes my blood boil. I write this because, "Once fooled, shame on you. Twice fooled, shame on me." and I can't let this go. (the you here is the presenter, of course).

This is not VRM and, at least in healthcare, thinking that hospitals will introduce VRM is delusional. I'm happy to dissect the presentation slide by slide if folks on the list are interested.

I'm just as happy to urge you all to just move along, there's nothing to see here folks...

If you're interested in how the principles (if not the name) of VRM are coming to healthcare, watch this 14 minute video (+6 mins Q&A) of a presentation at last September's Stanford Medicine X conference from the Chief Innovation Officer of Health Companion.

It's all about patient-centricity. You'll see several slides that look exactly like personal clouds exchanging data under user control, just with different labels.

You'll also see a nice plug for DirectTrust, which grew out of the secure email-based health data sharing work that Brian Behlendorf talked about after the dinner at the last VRM day.
