Thirty million more people are going to be coming into the US healthcare system starting 2014 – a system with costs already soaring above $2 trillion annually. There is growing evidence that Healthcare information technology (IT) can deliver essential cost savings to help enable US healthcare reform. So why is real adoption of medical technologies still falling so short of predictions*?

Even before the new patient wave to come in 2014, world leaders in healthcare IT are facing demanding times. Our technology sales partners, including Siemens, Dell, Fuji and AT&T have been challenged to meet healthcare IT needs for mobile health, systems for an integrated healthcare enterprise, address big data security for patient records and now evolve to cloud-based healthcare infrastructure.

With years of promised uptake for advanced medical technologies, why isn’t Health IT yet pervasive in US healthcare?

As analyzed in this latest Rand report published in the journal Health Affairs, it turns out the issue isn’t a lack of available technology innovation. There are proven productivity, accuracy and cost savings gains to be had through advanced medical technologies like our own. Turns out, the holdup is more human than purely technical.

Rand researchers state, “In our view, health IT’s failure to quickly deliver on its promise is not due to its lack of potential but to shortcomings in the design and implementation of health IT systems.” They go on to say, “As a result, we believe that the anticipated productivity gains of health IT are being hindered by the sluggish pace of adoption, the reluctance of many clinicians to invest the considerable time and effort required to master difficult-to-use technology, and the failure of many health care systems to implement the process changes required to fully realize health IT’s potential.”

So net, net it’s like my newest mobile phone—-wickedly powerful, but only if it’s not so confusing that I’m afraid to rely on it under pressure!

To best serve our Healthcare IT partners Calgary Scientific needs to focus as much on ensuring ease of use with our products and supporting ease of change through training and support as we do on speed, security, reliability and core functionality. This is a worthy focus as the US Healthcare Industry prepares to support the next 30 million patients.

This was the eighth RSNA event for Calgary Scientific but my fourth experience at the show billed as the place where the finest breakthroughs in medical imaging emerge each year. It was a chance for our team to spend time with our partners, observe competitors and talk to end users about shifting needs in healthcare informatics technologies.

After a couple days to rest up from a non-stop demo and discussion frenzy, here are 5 highlights of RSNA 2012 that stand out to me:

1. Value is understood – Users are now serious about buying solutions to extend image access outside of DI reading room. At previous RSNAs they were thinking about extended image access and looking at it as an option. The value of accessing images outside the DI reading room is now understood and there is commitment to move forward. Meaningful Use, expanded circles of care and demand for efficiencies require delivery of images to all stakeholders:  radiologists, referring physicians / specialists, all healthcare professionals, payors and even patients themselves!
2. Multi-source image access is now critical – Efficient workflow integration will deliver this value and will make mobile and web access to images critical components in an efficient healthcare environment. Users are looking for image access from a number of different interfaces and points in the healthcare continuum: from the patient record in the EMR / EHR, from the patient portal on the web, from the RIS, directly from the local archive with recent images in ER, from cloud based universal archives, from direct access on their mobile devices…solution flexibility will be a critical factor for any image viewing solution in this environment.
3. Collaboration for superior care – Radiologists are not operating in isolation from other stakeholders in healthcare. Efficiency and superior care are delivered when quick and convenient and reliable mechanisms for closing communication loops and ensuring absolute clarity are in place. Reaching and connecting with others to review and share image information is critical.
4. Security of patient data is paramount –Security continues as a table stake requirement. BYOD, enabling access for users outside the institution firewall and continued concern about losing patient healthcare information are causing users to carefully evaluate their technology options. Vendors are making the effort to address security concerns, but there remain some key differences in how data is being safeguarded and accredited within different solutions. It still pays for users to ask hard questions about how data is at risk of theft and whether a solution is FDA cleared for diagnosis or for review only.
5. Convenience and productivity demand mobility – Mobile devices continue to proliferate and users will be looking at expanding where / how they use those devices based on the convenience and significantly enhanced quality that they now deliver. Users will want to do be able to do everything on their mobile devices that they do on their wired devices, but more simply and more conveniently. Mobile devices are driving the evolution, but efficiency, productivity and a higher standard of care are the resulting benefits.

I called these highlights of RSNA, not insights, as the themes here are not substantial new discoveries. These points do, however, reinforce our determination to lead with ResolutionMD in secure mobile healthcare, and support our focus on secure data exchange. We will continue to deliver a viewer which provides users with access to a complete and accurate patient record, with data from any source, and pair it with the industry’s most convenient collaboration. This focus is a vital way in which Calgary Scientific will advance the quality of global healthcare.

In 2011, more than 136,000 Calgarians received food from the Emergency Food Hamper Program delivered by the Calgary Food Bank. Every year more than 7 million kilograms of food gets distributed to Calgarians in need. And it takes more than 100 people volunteering every day at the food bank to make all that happen.

Calgary Scientific is a passionate supporter of the Calgary Food Bank. This year we are lending muscle, some money and a bounty of food donations to help those in need in our community.

 On December 5th, a crew of our staff volunteered for a shift at the food bank building hampers. It took teamwork, an eye on the conveyor belt and compliance to rigorous warehouse safety but we did our jobs well!

Back at our office, our team of almost 80 is building a tower of food that we’ll donate. We’ve also donated $5,000 to support YYC Tech Gives – a Calgary Tech Community initiative to rally giving. Last year YYC Tech Gives raised about $65,000 for the Calgary Food Bank. This year the aim is $100,000.

My special thanks to our team for giving time and food donations so generously in support of the Calgary Food Bank. Here’s wishing all of us a holiday where we cherish our good fortunes of family, friends and plentiful meals together.

When Calgary Scientific was still just a nugget of thought in our founder’s mind, a doctor friend took our founder on a field trip that helped turn that thought into reality.

The expedition was to a radiology department of a Calgary hospital. Instead of watching doctors busily screen films and run off to diagnose patients, Byron Osing watched them wait around the way cranky office workers do at Starbucks every morning.

This was back in 2005, the early days of radiological digitization, when doctors would send each other patient images on CD-ROM. Now there’s a blast from the past that still continues in many markets today. Different hospitals used different software, so often times doctors had to reformat the image to see it. There were only so many reformatting machines, hence the waiting around. Beyond that, doctors could spend hours, yes hours, just logging in and out of different hospitals’ PACS in order to compare images of a patient that happened to be stored at two sites.

We’ve come a long way since then but it doesn’t mean the issues of interoperability and scalability have all been solved. In fact, much of the existing medical imaging technology is designed to avoid multi-system cooperation. Just like Apple, companies are designing products that only talk to other products they design. It works for a computer company, but it’s a nightmare in healthcare.

We admire the leadership companies such as Fujifilm, Dell and AT&T are taking on this front. Their commitment to finding the best solution for the end users is easing the frustration healthcare system providers feel when faced with the daunting task of making medical images readily available to doctors who aren’t on site.

After all, the mobility mountain is a tough one to climb in this industry. It represents issues of security, storage space, patient engagement and hospital autonomy. In a recent report for the National Patient Safety Foundation in the US, co-author Dr. David M. Lawrence suggests better coordinated IT systems are the key to success in the ever more complex world of medicine.

In an article written by InformationWeek.com, Lawrence suggests medical data and images are often still being sent to territorial silos that only serve to make the efficient practice of medicine more complicated. It makes the images harder to retrieve, manipulate and share at a time when cooperative medicine (ie. medicine that involves the diagnostic conclusions of a team not just an individual) is becoming more the norm.

The issue is so prevalent, some organizations have dedicated themselves to helping healthcare providers figure out how to best integrate their patient data across different IT systems. This kind of third-party oversight and guidance is a key component to establishing true interoperability.

The goal of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE), for example, is to “to improve the quality, efficiency and safety of clinical care by making relevant health information conveniently accessible to patients and authorized care providers.”

It sounds like a simple, respectable goal but still, the path to success has yet to be cleared. Perhaps they, too, started their journey with the same question as our CEO: Why can’t we all just get along… technically?

As Dr. Shrestha, the Vice President of Medical Information Technology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, points out in his article Mobility in healthcare and imaging: Challenges and Opportunities, “Imagers are often earlier adopters of newer technologies, and radiologists have been quick to adopt mobile devices, for both personal and professional use.”

Case and point – among American physicians, radiologists rank in the top five for rapid adoption of mobile technology for medical practice according to a recent Jackson and Coker Associates study.

So beyond an ever present love of new imaging technologies, why are radiologists at the forefront among physicians pushing for mobile technologies? Smartphones can provide two critical benefits to radiologists – mobility and speed of access to do diagnostic work wherever they choose.
In October 2012, The Mayo Clinic confirmed the impact of Calgary Scientific’s mobile medical technology in a study titled: “Smartphone Teleradiology Application Is Successfully Incorporated Into a Telestroke Network Environment”

Profiled in Stroke magazine, the study drew the conclusion:

CT head interpretations of telestroke network patients by vascular neurologists using Calgary Scientific’s mobile diagnostics tool, ResolutionMD, on Smartphones were in excellent agreement with interpretations by stroke radiologists using a Picture Archiving and Communications System and those of independent telestroke adjudicators using a desktop viewer.

“Essentially what this means is that telemedicine can fit in our pockets,” Dr. Bart Demaerschalk, professor of neurology and medical director of Mayo Clinic Telestroke, said in a statement. Click here to see a video of Dr. Demaerschalk talking about the study.

Beyond reliability for diagnosis and patient impact, research with our luminary partners Mayo Clinic, Yale University and SUNY reveals that ResolutionMD on mobile devices is making life on-call livable for radiologists – decreasing drive time to hospitals, time away from families and lessening the grind of long shifts.

Watch our upcoming blog for use cases that are impacting radiologists:
• closing the distance to rural locations, and
• enabling specialists to collaborate from any location.

Visit Calgary Scientific at RSNA at Booth 6244, South Hall A and we’ll show you how ResolutionMD changes the way radiologists and other healthcare professionals can access, view and analyze information from anywhere.

Written by Byron Osing, Chair and CEO.

Calgary Scientific was one of the first companies to be awarded FDA clearance for diagnosis on mobile devices just before RSNA in 2011. At RSNA 2012 the company will demonstrate how it has maintained its accreditation lead with FDA clearance, CE Mark and Health Canada support for its suite of mobile healthcare technology.

November 25 to 29 in Chicago at RSNA, the company will show healthcare professionals, current and future OEM partners how ResolutionMD and PureWeb combine in medical to deliver:

• Accreditation – FDA cleared for diagnosis, CE Mark and Health Canada approved
• Security – patient data is never transferred to the device
• Accessibility – use on workstations, home computers, laptops or smartphones
• Performance -  advanced 2D/3D viewing and collaboration over low-bandwidth
• Global Capability – 10 global languages supported including Korean and Simplified Chinese

The company will also demonstrate an upcoming edition of ResolutionMD running in an HTML5 environment. This edition of ResolutionMD will be available to users in 2013 – useful for mass adoption of mobility in environments requiring 2D-only support.

What does the future of advanced healthcare technology look like in a Patients First world where patients as health consumers have become lobbyists for web information, mobile access and more control of their healthcare records? Heading into RSNA 2012 with a Patients First theme – we find ourselves thinking about this question… and thinking about our OEM partners and radiologists needs.

The Patients First movement puts pressure on technology leaders to focus on what patient’s rank highest among their demands: ease of access. But the ResolutionMD product team at Calgary Scientific asks a bigger question: With all of the technology, web and wireless connectivity that we have in the world – how can we go beyond access in healthcare?

We think in terms of patient and physician needs with three themes etched in our minds:

• Usability, Simplicity and Mobility
• Expanded User Community
• Connecting and Collaborating

We walk around with a picture in our head something like this:

Mapping our ResolutionMD product development roadmap also involves overlaying different moving parts (yeah, this isn’t easy, and you never get to mastery) – 1) the evolution of human behaviors: doctors, patients our partners, hospital and clinic leaders 2) the evolution of software, infrastructure networking and data access, 3) the evolution of healthcare delivery, collaborative care, diagnosis and integrated facilities and 4) the evolution of economics including affordability of hardware, government healthcare funding and insurance payments and 5) the evolution of accreditation and regulation including FDA-clearance but also increasing regional and national healthcare standards and goals.

Selling through partner OEMs, we do not live in the hallways and basements of hospitals or in the treatment rooms of clinics so we seek out opportunities with luminary partners to observe the frontlines. We collaborate on research, use case studies, and trials with the internationally recognized Yale School of Medicine, Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, the State University of New York (SUNY,) the University of Calgary’s Department of Medicine and the Foothills Medical Centre – the largest hospital in Alberta, Canada.

While as little as five years ago the advantages of mobility were just arriving in medical, today doctors including radiologists have expectations of mobility like the Patients First community. Doctors desire look up control and anywhere access to complete patient information. But more than that, physicians today are demanding efficiency, collaboration and access applied to accurate diagnosis of patient treatment.

What we observe working with our luminaries and watching physicians at work…

• iPads are the device most in use
• rapid scrolling through studies and looking at side-by-side onscreen comparisons was most common activity

What we hear physicians want next…

•  “…One app combining all reports – that would replace the stethoscope.”
• “…Embedded voice dictation …. that would give God-like status for the Rad.”
• “We are often separated from our laptop and tablets, but never from our phones. Don’t stop updating for iPhones.”
• “…Pay-for-use specialty treatment apps”

On site experiences with doctors and our luminary partners inspire our products and everyone at our Calgary Scientific.

Heading into RSNA 2012 with its Patients First theme, we are preparing questions to ask radiologists how we can help them put Patients first…. but also put Radiologist First. We want to learn how we can help radiologists go beyond how they perform healthcare today. That may mean going beyond the reading room, or going beyond one opinion, or going beyond the confines of their current case load and even their current incomes.

Our booth is 6244, South Hall A, at RSNA – book a time to come visit with us.

In the world of medical device development, speed is king. Just as people want to communicate instantaneously and get their news as it’s happening, they also want to understand the state of their own health. Unfortunately, answers in medicine don’t always come at the speed of light. But that doesn’t mean they can’t!

Emerging technologies are bridging the gap between test and diagnosis in an effort to get patients faster, more personalized care. Doctors, hospitals and even health systems are eager to put these products to work–once they’re sure the tool is effective, efficient and perhaps most of all, safe to use in an area as critical as health.

Naturally, the introduction of these new tools needs to be regulated. Or at least, that’s what most would expect. Despite numerous accreditations available to manufacturers of medical devices, many chose to forgo the process. And believe me, it’s definitely a process. ResMD would know. We’ve been through them all.

Canada

In Canada, your organization needs to first be certified through the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO. Standard 13485 is the one you’re looking for. It governs medical device manufacturers. Getting the 13485 involves having a third party review of all the documentation that supports your design and product development, quality assurance, testing, post-market follow-up and risk analysis. Then an auditor pays you a visit to make sure what’s on paper matches what’s on the ground.

If all goes well, you get an ISO certificate which you then send off to Health Canada with copies of basic documentation about your product. Health Canada issues your license and for $100 a year, your product gets to stay on the market.

If you’re in the mood for some light reading, check out the actual legislation.

European Union

Across the pond, the European Union regulates medical devices under aptly-named legislation called the medical device directive. Your systems are reviewed by a third-party company, called a notified body. Then, provided everything is up to snuff, you’re allowed to use the CE mark of approval on your device (flip over your iPhone and you’ll see which one we mean).

Health Canada’s licensing and Europe’s CE marking are both fairly straight-forward endeavors. And unless there’s an incident with your product, you can carry on merrily providing the medical world with a device that saves time and improves outcomes.

United States

The jurisdiction that presents the greatest challenge is the United States. Each time you apply, you send in thousands of dollars and a forest’s worth of paperwork with the hopes of obtaining a clearance letter from the Food and Drug Administration. One of Calgary Scientific’s recent submissions was about three inches thick! What’s more, the review period takes 90 days. More if the FDA has questions.

Needless to say, getting an FDA clearance letter is a big win. It’s one thing for us to say our solution is trustworthy, effective and secure. It’s another to have clearance from a regulatory body that gives whole new meaning to the idea of paperwork.

But does having the most daunting process mean you have the best? Industry players would be hard-pressed to say yes. On a recent trip to Boston for the AdvaMed conference, the CEO of a multi-billion dollar medical device manufacturer said his company can get a product on the market in Europe two to three years ahead of the US all because of the regulatory burden. As such, the push for improvements to the US accreditation system remains one of the highest priorities among manufacturers.

Seeking efficiency

Back in 1992, industry leaders and government representatives came together to form the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF). The idea was to find a way to coalesce the standards across jurisdictions. As a result, the FDA is starting to recognize the value of ISO standards. But the clearance process for medical devices hasn’t really changed.

In the meantime, the GHTF has become largely a discussion amongst regulators with few if any industry representatives at the table. Now more than ever, manufacturers need to forge the relationships that allow us to be part of the dialogue. We are the folks on the frontiers of new development. It’s our responsibility to keep the agencies apprised of where we see technology heading. Working together, we can ensure the clearance process is thorough, efficient and safe, so practitioners around the world have access to faster, better technological tools.

Big Data in Healthcare is a current hot topic. In the last few weeks, Bloomberg Businessweek, Gigaom.com and Stanford Medicine Magazine have all headlined with Big Data in medical stories.

On October 3, at the Cybera Annual Summit in Banff, Calgary Scientific will be on a panel exploring Big Data in Healthcare in Canada alongside leaders from OKAKI Health Intelligence, Siksika Health Services and University of Ontario Institute of Technology.

So what’s the big deal about healthcare data?

A $34 Billion market is Big

As Bloomberg recaps, “The so-called Big Data business has already permeated other industries and generated more than $30 billion in revenues last year, according to research firm IDC. It’s expected to grow to close to $34 billion this year in part because of increased use in the health-care industry.” Investment is spurred on in part by the Obama administration’s $14.6 billion program launched in 2009 to encourage adoption of electronic medical records.

Is the barrier to better healthcare truly more data?

At the same time investors and analyst are counting the money, luminaries and researchers including those at Stanford Medicine are raising concerns: “… the magnitude of the data, the speed at which it’s growing and the threat it could pose to individual privacy mean mastering “big data” is one of biomedicine’s most pressing challenges.”

So the opportunity in for Big Data in Healthcare is not just to create more access to information but to look at how that access can truly aid in the speed and effectiveness of healthcare treatment. How does big data actually help healthcare providers get better at rapid diagnosis and saving lives?

Collaboration is key – think Bigger than one omniscient Doc

When you listen to perspectives from frontline physicians, including Dr. Brian Goldman’s TED Talk “Doctors make mistakes. Can we talk about that?” which has had  550,000 views on TED.com, it becomes clear the opportunity of Big Data is bigger than more access, more accurate record viewing and a whole patient picture. The Big Data opportunity in medicine is to develop a better way for physicians to mine and be served by data.

Greater data access needs to be combined with better ways of assessing and diagnosing patients. Critical in the mix is collaboration – expecting not just one doctor to diagnose faster but to connect her or him to residents and specialists for a faster second opinion that may truly be the life saver. And more than serial reviews – one doctor, then another – collaborative medical care needs to allow multiple physicians and healthcare Boards to look at a patient’s record at the same time, seeing each other control the images and record as they discuss approach and treatment.

This collaborative analysis of big data to improve treatment for a single patient is a major advance, but consider the broader opportunity to pool patient records and analyze the data collectively. This is the arena of Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) which the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has earmarked $1.1 billion for investment. Paul Cerrato, Editor of InformationWeek Healthcare, proposes CER is healthcare IT’s next big challenge, where technology must unlock big data to uncover new treatment options and lower the cost of such discoveries. Now you have multiple physician teams, treatment Boards, clinical trials, luminary hospitals and researchers all able to benefit from a more total view of healthcare issues than ever before possible, with technology that connects the brightest specialists from all over the world and lets them interact with each other to collaborate on medical discoveries.

As Mike Snyder, chair of genetics at Stanford Medicine commented in the Summer 2012 Stanford Medicine magazine, “We’ve been so focused on generating hypotheses, but the availability of big data sets allows the data to speak to you. Meaningful things can pop out that you hadn’t expected.”

There will be lots of discussion at Cybera about big data security, privacy and the challenges of interconnected healthcare, which include structural obstacles around data infrastructure, multi-vendor systems and technologies. The old paradigm of trying to push copies of data sets to large, centralized repository locations has proven massively costly, and highly ineffective, even in socialized healthcare systems where the data is controlled by government versus different groups of competing healthcare providers.  I look forward to seeing more changes in technology to aid physicians in not just doing more of the same, faster, but truly achieving a single view of a true patient record and realizing a broader collective healthcare vision that spans across healthcare globally.

Use cases that inspire us:

Dell applying cloud technology for personalized medicine

Dell is providing computing power for two research centers to try and treat a particular form of pediatric cancer based on each child’s specific genetic profile.

Stanford Medicine’s “Omics Study” of human genetics

Led by chair of the Stanford’s Genetics Department, Michael Snyder, PhD, the unprecedented study, termed an integrative personal genomics profile, or iPOP, generated billions of individual data points about Snyder’s health, to the tune of about 30 terabytes (that’s about 30,000 gigabytes, or enough CD-quality audio to play non-stop for seven years).

IBM detecting infections in premature babies

University of Ontario, Institute of Technology (UOIT) is using information and analytics to detect potentially life-threatening infections in premature babies up to 24 hours earlier. By encapsulating the expertise – the intelligence – of physicians and nurses in the system allows it to focus precisely on the information needed to make better clinical decisions. The solution will deliver life-saving value and improve medical decisions in real time.

Allscripts “open architecture” in healthcare

Allscripts is taking the risk of an open versus single database to integrate innovative technology that call all leverage shared data. Financial management and EHR are key areas of focus but they continuously invest in innovation with $1 Million innovation awards to standout partners.

Please share use cases that illuminate possibilities you see in Big Data and healthcare. And we welcome your questions at the Cybera Summit on October 3^rd.

We are pleased to introduce ResolutionMD 3.1 to the global medical community, featuring support for 10 international languages, side-by-side tablet viewing, enhanced image presentation, and feature access configuration at the IT/licensing level.  ResolutionMD is already used on every continent and this release will allow us to serve our OEM partners even better, making a material impact on enhancing the way in which diagnostic workflow happens across the global healthcare industry.

Over the past four years, ResolutionMD has grown from a great viewer into a powerful integrated component of Healthcare Interconnected Enterprise (HIE) platforms. HIE platforms, with ResolutionMD integration, allow physicians to securely access patient images, reports and data needed to make a whole-picture diagnosis, regardless of where the data resides geographically or on which vendors’ storage system.

Highlights of the 3.1 enhancements:

Expanded Language Support: ResolutionMD will now be supported in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese for both ResolutionMD Web and ResolutionMD Mobile.

Split-view layout on tablet devices: iPad and Android Tablet users can now view images side by side with ResolutionMD, for effective review of a study and comparing of images. Previous releases introduced new layout options on the web, now they are available on various mobile devices.

Presentation State: ResolutionMD has expanded its multi-site data access abilities, and can now view the DICOM GSPS from multiple PACS solutions, based on a single simultaneous geographical grid search. GSPS can be viewed on both web and mobile devices, making image and results distribution even more meaningful to the physician.

Customize feature access by site: License configuration allows OEMs to customize delivery of ResolutionMD for end user needs and enterprise budgets from basic 2D capabilities through to MiP/MPR and full 3D, mobility and real time collaboration.

ResolutionMD is known for its FDA clearance for diagnosis on web and mobile iOS, web and cloud scalability, data security, comprehensive collaboration capability and rapid access on both iOS and Android devices. The ability to locate and access patient images and reports in real time, without any of that data ever remaining resident on the computer or mobile device, is one of the key ways the company has differentiated itself from other medical applications. The application also demonstrates advanced collaboration functionality embedded within the product, allowing multiple users to share and interact with the application in real time from multiple locations and devices, through a simple click on a link embedded in email or text. Patient data access made completely accessible from anywhere, on high and low bandwidth networks, gives doctors the full picture needed to make a diagnosis, from anywhere, anytime.

ResolutionMD is available globally through some of the world’s most notable OEM partners. We’d love to show you ResolutionMD 3.1 in action – please contact us today.
