'Silo' one of healthcare's biggest flaws

April 10, 2014

To healthcare mogul Patrick Soon-Shiong, MD, the dirtiest four-letter word in the realm of digital health is "silo."

Unfortunately, it's everywhere. Hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices all keep close tabs on their information -- as do departments within the hospital or health network. Digital health devices and services silo their data, and let's not even talk about EHR vendors. In short, everyone in healthcare these days has control over a certain subset of data, and they're not into sharing.

So lets see now... Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is more the sharing type and that tells me he just may be all-in for a collaboration of a lifetime to start collecting some of that Big Data that he is thirsting for. Googles CALICO is all up Big Data as well.... one big happy family or is someone going to step forward to take control of all this Big Data sharing... time will tell

Dr. Soon-Shiong is Chairman of the Chan Soon-Shiong Family Foundation, Chairman and CEO of the Institute for Advanced Health, Chairman and CEO of the Healthcare Transformation Institute and founder of the National Coalition for Health Integration.
