IBM previewed its healthcare patient portal at CeBIT in Germany last week after winning a $23.6 million contract to design and build a similar service in Australia.The IBM Patient Empowerment System, a portal for patients to find information, alerts and recommendations and to interact with healthcare professionals online, was developed by IBM Research alongside physicians from Korea’s Gacheon University Gil Hospital.<\/p>\n

The aim of the original pilot was to increase efficiency and reduce costs by giving patients an active role in their treatments.<\/p>\n

The roll-out of the National Broadband Network (NBN) in Australia was promoted by the Gillard Government last year for its potential e-health benefits like online medical consulting for rural Australians.<\/p>\n

The Australian Medical Association (AMA) told a Parliamentary Inquiry last week that lacking data transfer protocols were one of the chief barriers to effective e-healthcare services. The AMA noted the impact of connectivity loss during the Queensland floods.<\/p>\n

Also noted was the concern over encryption of patient information. IBM has taken up the e-health bill in Australia, recently winning a $23.6 million contract to build the National Authentication Service for Health last week to combat this. <\/p>\n

The construction of infrastructure for this e-health authentication system was originally to be undertaken by the National E-Health Transition Authority, but the group released the project to third parties last September after realising the complexity of the project.<\/p>\n

The technology used in IBM’s Watson, a super computer that beat humans at the American quiz show, Jeopardy!, is similarly used in IBM’s healthcare service tests as a means of gathering context-relevant healthcare information from databases for physicians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
