Prime Health Innovation Summit & Expo partners industry giants with digital disrupters

DENVER, COLORADO (May 10, 2016) – The epicenter of health innovation will be in Denver, Colorado as over 50 health innovation thought leaders from across the U.S. gather on May 16 and 17 to advance the national conversation on health innovation and its potential to reduce costs and improve access to care and clinical outcomes. This significant collection of expertise is anticipated to generate ideas and knowledge-sharing that will influence the future of digital health and health innovation and their impact on providers, payors, consumers and new technologies.

The Prime Health Innovation Summit & Expo is organized by Prime Health, a non-profit Colorado-based digital health integrator. 2016 marks the fifth year for this annual gathering. In a collaborative environment, speakers and attendees will discuss urgent health innovation needs and best practices for integrating innovation into care models, patient satisfaction and engagement, enhancing value and interoperability.

Expected speakers include established industry constituents who are dealing with the current and pending digital disruption of healthcare’s status quo, together with digital health mavericks and innovation experts. Senior executives from Hospital Corporation of America, Aetna, Medical Group Management Association, Kaiser Permanente, American Medical Association and the American Diabetes Association will lead discussions with leaders of companies such as Omada Health, iTriage, Aver Informatics and Welltok. Representatives of innovation think tanks and information technology companies venturing into healthcare, such as Salesforce and Google, are also expected.

In keeping with Prime Health’s role as an integrator in the digital health space, on May 17 members of digital health ecosystems from New York, Chicago and Colorado’s Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins will explore how regional ecosystems can collaborate to accelerate innovation at the national level.

Digital health solutions offer significant opportunities to enhance health through treatment and prevention as well as dramatically reduce costs; a Goldman Sachs report measured potential savings as $305 billion. These innovations encompass information and communication technologies such as telemedicine, genomics, mobile apps, wearable health technologies and data analytics. Retail giants such as Target and technology leaders like Google are using and exploring applications for digital health.

A study by Research and Markets estimated the size of the global digital health market as $55.3 billion in 2014 and projected a compound annual growth rate of 21.4% during 2015 to 2020. The study cited North America as the dominant geographical player in the market.

Colorado is at the center of this growing industry. According to StartUp Health, a global health innovation company, in 2015 Denver ranked seventh in the U.S. for funding digital health businesses; currently 130 operate in Colorado. In 2015 investors provided $145 million in funding to Colorado digital health companies. Prime Health aims to make Colorado the country’s top digital health and health innovation hub by 2020.

Unlike organizations focused on the creation, incubation and acceleration segments of new product development, Prime Health serves as a digital health integrator and collaborative business ecosystem.

“Prime Health creates competitive advantage for digital health companies and the ecosystem by enhancing entrepreneurial innovation and the integration of that innovation with healthcare providers,” says Jeffrey Nathanson, CEO of Prime Health. “Prime supports the full product development and implementation cycle by serving as a validator, connector, and community builder.”

Members of the Prime Health ecosystem include over 2,100 healthcare administrators, providers, entrepreneurs, investors, technologists and academics. Prime Health qualifies, tests, demonstrates and validates mentored health innovations with its Value Integrator Model.

The 2016 Prime Health Innovation Summit & Expo is produced in partnership with Aetna, iTriage, Colorado Health Foundation, Ernst & Young, Kaiser Permanente and ViaWest.

Aneesh Chopra on Using FHIR to Become the Nation’s Top Digital Health Ecosystem – By John Michael Oró

/in /by


Former United States CTO Aneesh Chopra recently spoke with members of the Colorado digital health ecosystem about FHIR.

Last Thursday Aneesh Chopra, the former CTO of the United States and current CEO of Hunch Analytics, spoke with members of Prime Health about how Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) could help make Colorado the number one digital health cluster in the nation. The discussion was held at the Anschutz Medical Campus and featured representatives from CORHIO, Kaiser Permanente, and Centura Health.

“If the Colorado digital health ecosystem were integrated through FHIR,” Prime Health’s CEO Jeffrey Nathanson said during his opening remarks, “it could become the nation’s top digital health ecosystem by allowing for the interconnection of the different electronic medical records present in the state.”

The event was co-hosted by RxRevu, a Colorado digital health company that had been among the first to adopt the FHIR standard. Led by Mr. Chopra, most of the discussion attempted to answer the question, “How can adoption of the FHIR standard enhance the collaboration and innovation that’s occurring in Colorado?”

According to Mr. Chopra, FHIR offered healthcare providers “the necessary data structure for population health,” which – when matched with a management culture that respected startups and a research and development budget that enabled clinical staff to pursue innovative ideas – would allow providers to play a leading role in the current digital transformation of healthcare.

“This is a very important year to get as many of the building blocks in place as possible,” he explained.

FHIR, a set of data standards created by HL7 to streamline the exchange of electronic healthcare information, presented providers with an opportunity to use “APIs to build bridges across systems and improve patient access to their records,” which would in turn empower consumers to play a more active role in their healthcare.

“The best path to interoperability is an app in the patient’s hands,” Mr. Chopra told the members of Prime Health. “I should be able to connect a designated application with my medical record with the same ease with which I connect my Apple TV with my Netflix account.”

Carm Huntress, the CEO of RxRevu, elaborated on Mr. Chopra’s comments by discussing Clinical Decision Support Hooks, or CDS Hooks, which allowed third-party applications like RxRevu to integrate with EHRs. According to Huntress, interoperability measures like FHIR and CDS Hooks would play a crucial role in the shift to value-based care.

“If you want to create a value-based healthcare system, this can’t happen unless you make the transition to interoperability,” he explained. “If we’re all living in our own little data siloes, nothing is going to change.”

The second half of the event featured an open discussion between members of the audience and Mr. Chopra. The Former United States CTO fielded questions about FHIR and encouraged his audience to join the Argonaut Project, a collaborative endeavor between EHR vendors and healthcare providers intended to refine the FHIR standard.

According to Mr. Chopra, the willingness to collaborate of the Colorado digital health ecosystem positioned it to become a national leader in interoperability. But whether Colorado actually assumed that leadership role depended in large part on the members of its ecosystem embracing FHIR.

“Consider whether you want to be the community that sits this one out,” he told the audience in closing, “or the community that engages.”

Prime Health Joins Catalyst HTI

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (2/29/16)

HIMSS BREAKING NEWS: Prime Health Joins Catalyst HTI. Tweet this #HIMSS16 #digitalhealth

DENVER, CO – Prime Health, Colorado’s digital health ecosystem, announced today its intention to move its headquarters into the upcoming healthcare innovation hub Catalyst HTI when the building opens in early 2018. Prime Health’s digital health ecosystem has spawned a wellspring of activity in health innovation and was part of the impetus for the Catalyst innovation hub. With this announcement, Prime Health joins other healthcare organizations that have also decided to join the ecosystem and reserve spaces in Catalyst HTI, among them the Boomtown Health-Tech Accelerator and Medical Group Management Association (MGMA).

When completed, Catalyst HTI will cover an entire city block in Denver’s trendy River North District and contain the offices of Fortune 20 healthcare corporations, the members of which will work alongside employees from the fifty-plus digital health startups that will also call the building home. As the organization primarily responsible for bringing together Colorado’s thriving healthcare innovation scene, Prime Health will play a unique role within Catalyst HTI, fostering a sense of community among the individuals and companies located within the building through its events and soon-to-be-released online collaboration platform.

The potential of digital health technology to fundamentally transform how healthcare is delivered around the world has been apparent for some time now, but the highly complex, heavily regulated US healthcare system has made large-scale innovation difficult to achieve for many startups. Since its founding in 2012, Prime Health has been dedicated to bringing together clinicians, entrepreneurs, investors, academics, and policy makers to accelerate the adoption of innovations that possess the ability to improve the health of patients while enhancing the quality of care they receive and lowering the cost of that care.

“Prime Health will be essential to helping digital health startups grow and gain traction inside the very difficult landscape that is the healthcare industry,” said Mike Biselli, the President of Catalyst HTI and a board member of Prime Health. “Catalyst HTI is honored to have such an incredibly important organization as a member of our community.”

For its part, Prime Health sees its decision to join Catalyst HTI as a strategic move that reflects the rapid maturation of digital health technology, which applies information and communications technologies — telemedicine, mobile apps, wearable tech, genomics, business intelligence, data analytics, among others — to enhance healthcare.

“We believe this is a key next step in the building of our ecosystem, bringing together all of the major components of the care continuum in one place,” Jeffrey Nathanson, the President and CEO of Prime Health, admitted while explaining his organization’s decision to join Catalyst HTI. “We think that having a physical location concentrating innovation will enhance the development of this ecosystem and improve our outreach to other ecosystems.”

The agreement to move its offices into Catalyst HTI comes soon after Prime Health’s decision to begin collaborating with digital health ecosystems around the nation. These regional ecosystems – which are innovation clusters composed of digital health startups, established healthcare companies, and healthcare providers of all kinds – have been the main drivers of healthcare innovation up to now. But a growing trend of regional clusters working together is appearing, and Prime Health, with its upcoming online collaboration platform, is positioning itself to become the driving force connecting these ecosystems together.

“We think of Prime Health as the digital health ecosystem software to the hardware of Catalyst HTI’s health tech campus,” said Nathanson. “We’re currently attempting to connect ecosystems at a national level so that healthcare payors, providers, and consumers can more quickly gain access to qualified, vetted and curated new innovations to deliver easy to access, quality healthcare at a lower cost.”

Prime Health’s announcement that it will be a tenant of Catalyst HTI suggests that it views the massive digital health hub as an excellent base from which to convene the regional digital health ecosystem while simultaneously reaching out to ecosystems far beyond the borders of Colorado.

Prime Health is a business ecosystem of healthcare administrators, providers, entrepreneurs, investors, technologists and academics acting as an integrator of qualified and tested health innovation to enhance healthcare.
