Today one cannot pick up a professional journal, trade publication or national newspaper that does not have at least one article analyzing health
reform and the impact that Accountable Care Organizations will have on the future of the US Health Care system.

VISoNe (Vision One) Care is a collaborative care strategy, which leverages existing military Information Technology assets such as Alta, and Vista as well as any commercial Disease Management, Care Management, or Wellness Management services, software or devices. By leveraging common service architecture integration techniques historical infrastructure boundaries are removed to create a collaborative care eco system where gaps in care are closed and all participants of the service members care team can be incorporated. This strategy leverages existing information technology infrastructure through a set of services based integration methods as well as existing care management services such as the CBHCO (Community Based Healthcare Organizations) as care coordination hubs for active duty and separated service members still under military health care. The focus of this strategy is not to market a new product but rather to reduce costs, increase the quality of active duty and separated service members care through better care transitions and care collaboration.

Consumerism and placing the patient at the center of the new health care delivery model in the United States has become the mantra of almost every stakeholder in the vertical especially technology companies who serve the health care community. While consumerism is a fact of life and a way of business in other industry sectors this is a new concept for most constituents in US healthcare. Adoption has always been the key to any success a new consumer technology may realize in the broader market. Personal Electronic Health Records (PHR/PHA), Remote Health Monitoring (RMH) technologies and Mobile Health Applications (MHA) are not immune to adoption pressures solely because the purveyors of such technologies claim they will change health care in the US and save billions in expenses. Early evidence clearly indicates that the challenges patients and providers face in the “New” empowered patient centric model of health care are many. This project will focus on a narrow set of these challenges surrounding patient centricity and consumerism, personal health records, remote health monitoring, and mobility technologies and the critical success factors to consider when exploring the environments these strategies and technologies will be applied.
