The Business Issue Facing
Company name: U of A XYZ hospital
An Evolving Business Landscape
Health Care Consumers are becoming more aware that:
Medical Information belongs to them
Greater desire to access the information NOW
Information must be accessible to other providers within/outside of Network SECURELY
Geography should not be a barrier to access
Consumer Desire and Business Issue appear to be inter-related
Using existing Hospital IT Systems to address Business Issue not enough
Must realize that hospitals are now either merging or consolidating for financial survival
We are now forced into a “Coopetition Model” to stay relatively independent
Blockchain can serve as a solution via “Honest Broker” Mechanism for Data Exchange
Yet, still allows U of A xyz Hospital to continue to use it’s internal EMR system w/o substantial institutional change
Requirement:
Need to prepare 7 slides on Associated Costs and Shared Risks
