Liz Boehm's recent post on "The Intersection of Healthcare and Aging-in-Place" got me thinking about the digital ecosystem surrounding the consumer who chooses to "age-in-place."
An aging parent may want to enable one or more of their children to have access to medical records, medication details, finances, nutrition details, therapy appointments, and other systems/offering requiring decisions or transactions. What's the delicate, HIPAA-compliant balance between the consumer's electronic health record, external caretakers' inputs to the consumer's medical records, and family member/trusted guardian access? How do we architect these information flows to ensure meaningful two-way exchange between the medical providers and the consumer and his/her advocates?
And then, how do we safely/securely mobile-enable this access for better response from all actors involved in the ecosystem?
