Health data is all around us. Your electronic health records (EHRs) include your medical issues, test results, vital signs, allergies, prescriptions, and surgeries. Your health insurer\u2019s database collects the claims paid on your behalf. Your pharmacy may record your flu and covid-19 shots. Maybe a smartwatch counts your steps and measures your heart rate; perhaps a genetic testing company has your DNA. Some people have pacemakers that transmit information to their cardiologist or implanted sensors that continuously track their blood sugar.<\/p>\n

A new operating system for health care<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

What we don\u2019t have is a way to make this data all work together\u2014a \u201cpersonal health ecosystem,\u201d says Bharat Sutariya, MD, managing director in health care for Deloitte Consulting LLP and an emergency medicine specialist. The endocrinologist treating your diabetes doesn\u2019t have ready access to your eye exam results, which could help them preserve your eyesight. Your phone might contain vital medical information that emergency room (ER) staff needs to properly take care of you, but it has to be able to connect with the hospital\u2019s systems to transmit that data. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dramatically better integration, however, is coming in the not-so-distant future, Sutariya says. And when it does, today\u2019s health information management will seem as antiquated as sending a telegram. \u201cThe cloud infrastructure that\u2019s becoming ubiquitous is going to unleash that potential,\u201d Sutariya says. \u201cIf you choose to share your data, your doctor will know about your steps and your stress level from the apps you use, and smart pill packs will be able to record whether you\u2019re taking your medication. If you have chest pain, paramedics will be able to access your records in the ambulance, and they\u2019ll exchange pre-hospital intervention history with the receiving hospital. The ER doctor will have your treatment already staged because they\u2019ve got your complete risk profile, and they\u2019ll get you right to the cath lab.\u201d<\/p>\n

A new understanding of the power of connected health data may kick off this shift. In the U.S., for example, the historically decentralized nature of health care has been a blocker, but recent legislation mandating interoperable core EHR data and asserting patients\u2019 ownership of their health data is changing this. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese two provisions have started a movement that I believe is unstoppable,\u201d says Sutariya. \u201cIt\u2019s a game changer already, because the law says providers must share this data anywhere that the patient\u2014who owns the data\u2014tells them to share it.\u201d After an extended period of rulemaking, those provisions went into effect late in 2022.<\/p>\n
