While attending the Digital Health Conference in New York, I had the chance to sit down and talk with Paul Wilder, Director of Product Marketing and Adoption for the New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC). I was really impressed by Paul’s understanding of the benefits and challenges of an HIE. He knows them first hand with NYeC’s SHIN-NY project which is connecting all of the various HIE’s and RHIO’s in New York.
I pulled out my camera and asked Paul to talk about the motivating factors for doctors and hospitals to participate in an HIE. I think you’ll enjoy Paul’s answer in the video below. He brings up some ideas related to HIE that I hadn’t heard articulated that way before.
Wow. There is a NEJM article’s worth of info in this 4 min video. Time well spent. Consider transcribing for your readers.
Vince,
Paul really knows his stuff. It was really enlightening talking to him. I’ll have to see about a transcription of the video.
