Thank you to our wonderful event sponsors for making this day possible -- ATT, Allscripts, AARP, BloomHealth, Breakthrough Technologies

We are pleased to announce CareWire - patient engagement that pays for itself.

CareWire is a patient engagement solution that utilizes automated patient text messaging to increase billable appointment yield, visualize patient satisfaction in near-real-time and improve provider performance.

CareWire is a new product offering by HHI (Healthy Heartland Inc) and is gearing up for multiple pilots during Q1, 2012.

CareWire has been selected to participate in the HealthBox healthcare business accelerator.

CareWire helps providers generate more revenue from existing patients by guiding patients to and through their appointment using automated text messaging.  

Here are just a few of the advantages CareWire delivers for providers and patients: 

• Integrates just-in-time information into care delivery                    
  
• Knows what’s timely and relevant to the patient 
• Avoids providing too much information and resulting confusion 
• Requires no special technology (compatible with any mobile phone and provider scheduling system) 
• One day set-up for implementation
• Requires no provider workflow change 
• Built and managed within SAS70, HIPAA-certified data center

Andreessen says...

More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services—from movies to agriculture to national defense. Many of the winners are Silicon Valley-style entrepreneurial technology companies that are invading and overturning established industry structures. Over the next 10 years, I expect many more industries to be disrupted by software...

Think about the ways that we communicate with patients, families, and stakeholders. How many of these methods rely on software? Further, how many of these methods rely on software which in turn, relies on other software? Finally, where does all of this software reside?

In short, it's the uquitity, low cost, and combinability of software that can ultimately change the way that we engage with healthcare which is a powerful takeway from Andreessen's thesis.
