An alternative to 'meaningful use'

Surgeon/medical researcher builds a cloud-based and bi-directional clinical operating system, agnostic to any device or electronic health record


As a response to the federal government's electronic health record (EHR) incentive program, NantHealth, the brainchild of medical researcher, professor, surgeon and self-made billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, is working to solve the interoperability crisis and connecting the healthcare industry

According to an article on the Healthcare IT news, NantHealth has built a cloud-based and bi-directional clinical operating system, agnostic to any device or electronic health record.

The idea to develop this company came to Soon-Shiong after the federal government approved the EHR incentive programs.

According to the article, he met with President Barack Obama in 2008 to oppose the initiative. 

"My concern is with the way meaningful use has been set up is to capture processes," Soon-Shiong said.

"What we really need to do is capture outcomes."
