T5: We are all patients. Patient expectations (our expectations) are changing. EHRs will have to adapt (rapidly) to survive.#EMR #kareochat

I agree completely that patient expectations are changing. I think we’re going to see a dramatic shift in the patient experience. What I’m not as sure about is whether the EHR will be the one to meet those changing expectations. EHR software is distracted with other things and they’re not well positioned to handle the change.
Brilliant pivot: You moved docs from film to digital, you use that knowledge 2 move them from paper to EHR? http://t.co/iVpF450PSY @viztek

I’m not sure I’d really classify this as a pivot. I think Viztek is doing pretty well with their PACS. They’re not going to stop doing that anytime soon. It is an interesting diversification for the company. Although, I was more intrigued to think about what we could learn from the PACS experience going from film to digital. We need more people writing about those learnings.

Those are two big powerhouses that Box brought on board. I’d heard a lot about box and its efforts in healthcare. This illustrates how important healthcare is to Box’s future.
