Observations from our Booth at HIMSS
Many of you will find it surprising that I am not putting together a status report but rather blogging about my observations from the Infosys booth at HIMSS. Well for starters the blogs are easier to write and are just my own opinions. This time the HIMSS was all about complex ideas about making healthcare simpler, cheaper and better. But looking at the X-ray machines which some of our co exhibitors were presenting and the cost of the same for so little additional benefit was kind of counter intuitive – in the name of connectivity and at the cost of adding a chip to the machine we are probably going to end up making the diagnostic process so complex that it would be hard to counter argue about the cost reduction and at the end of the day can even end blaming the machine or the user for a wrong decision. This I believe the providers are learning well from the Payers and the politicians!
