I like the idea of "clinical groupware" and I like the name. I believe attaching "medical" to any product has traditionally made the product unnecessarily expensive. Practice management and EHR software isn't that complex, but some have made it strangely mysterious. Let's take the mystery away and treat healthcare like any other business, please.

Enjoyed reading your article. Simple solutions which work will go a long way to provide high quality cost effective population level management of primary care patients. Few years ago we developed a simple solution to manage breast cancer screenig at Mayo Clinic for our primary care practice and results from the randomized controlled trail showed significant improvement.

We developed this solution because EMR did not have it. Since then we added other functionalities to improve popualtion care.

MET stress test indicators are a great predictor of heart health. Cardiac Care, a mobile solution by ViralMesh, is available on BlackBerrys. It helps people achieve better cardiac health by increasing MET cardiac stress test scores. The second version will even integrate a heart rate monitor. Before Cardiac Care v2.0 is released, ViralMesh would like feedback on how we might improve this application. If anyone has any ideas about what features they would like to see, please contact me at aklevy@viralmesh.com for further discussion.
