AllScripts Joins Walgreens In Providing More Electronic Medical Record Data for Sale for Payers and Researchers With Another Analytics Firm
It’s amazing these days that whenever you employ a service on the front side that is marketed to benefit you, there’s always the action taking place on the back side that you may or may not be aware of and it appears that what we have here with Inovalon, the old one-two punch to create revenue streams with more data for sale.
This is like a virus out there as I have said many times with the data selling epidemic we have taking place. There are some very intelligent people out there who have figured out how to make money and profit using different “value” tactics to provide a service that contains value on the front end and then makes money on the back side with selling data. Here’s the recent Walgreens press release as they have medical records in their clinics and now also are making that information available to pharmacists.
United Healthcare with their technologies already has foot in their door in a big way way well with being able to use the medical records from the Mayo clinic to analyze and sell the queried data to researchers and other folks who might have an interest in de-identified data. One of their focuses is to sell analytics relative to how medical devices perform and which are the top selected by hospitals and so on. They also have a non profit “lab” company wrapped around the ability to also market data.
