My generation believes in technology. We believe it will improve physicians' lives, advance patient care, and reduce costs. Like Iron Man, there is no limit to what we can do when we put the suit of information technology (IT) on the body of medicine. Yet, despite the obvious impact of IT on our lives, we've yet to see it revolutionize medicine. We need someone to report on the condition of digital health and to articulate the opportunities and outline the strategy for healthcare transformation. Phil Fasano delivers that digital health State of the Union address in this book.Fasano is the CIO of Kaiser Permanente (KP), the integrated health care system where I work. He directs our impressive 6,000 member health IT team and has led us to the forefront of health information technology (HIT) in care delivery.In the book, Fasano briefly covers the history of HIT with an emphasis on electronic health records (EHRs). He recounts KP's experience in rolling out the world's largest private EHR system and shares successes such as our computer care registry that has reduced deaths by heart disease by 73% in our members. He goes on to cover the basics of mobile, virtual, and analytics along the way highlighting bright spots in KP and in other systems on the HIT leaderboard, including The Cleveland Clinic and Intermountain Healthcare.In the chapter "Investing in Healthcare IT Innovations," Fasano picks his winners in HIT investments including cloud computing (it could cut costs by 30-40%). He sees health information exchanges (HIE) as a business opportunity for entrepreneurs and uses the salient example of Lee Moffitt Cancer Center as a winner in the analytics model -- They are tracking cancer patients' data with the aim of designing targeted treatments.
