OTHER deals that matter
So we told you about the IBM deal with everyone big and small. But there were other notable acquisitions and partnerships at Day 1 HIMSS. Most notably, athenahealth announces its deal with Trinity Health and KPMG bought Beacon Partners.
Leafing through the press releases, I thought these announcements were also interesting:

Bottom line from Alex Gourlay
Via mobihealthnews on the HIMSS Day 1 keynote:
“We truly believe that patient-led and consumer-led is not important just today, but in the future,” Gourlay said. “And we start and finish everything with the insights we have on our patients and consumers. We know as a brand and believe as a brand that innovation is critical, especially shared, joint innovation that really makes a difference in people’s lives. And importantly, we want to become a strategic partner of choice. It’s really important to Walgreens-Boots Alliance, it’s incredibly important to the healthcare market here in the US that we work together to create better solutions.”
A Personalized Approach to Medication Nonadherence
At the Abarca Forward conference earlier this year, George Van Antwerp, managing director at Deloitte, discussed how social determinants of health and a personalized member experience can improve medication adherence and health outcomes.

Why HIT matters
Matthew Holt shares how technology has changed – and made a difference – in the birth of his children.
I don’t know when Aero’s record at the BayView Child Health Center is going to be downloadable. So right now I can’t download or even see the the record in which all his well baby visits and immunizations are actually being recorded. I know it’s a thankless task but all of us need to be pushing for that data availability.
Patient power at HIMSS
