2014 Is There Any Regulation Of Health Care Apps?

  1. "The FDA plans to regulate apps that are an extension of a medical device; transform a mobile platform into a regulated medical device; perform patient-specific analysis, providing diagnosis/treatment recommendations.
  2. General reference and education apps, as well as apps for administrative functions (such a billing), are not medical devices.
  3. Apps that may be medical devices but are deemed “low risk” (such as apps that regulate chronic diseases through behavioral interventions and wellness promotion) won’t be regulated.
  4. Apps that automate functions and can be “safely used by a patient without oversight…[and] is not intended to replace or discourage seeking treatment.” such as provide general knowledge or provide EHR access, will also not be regulated.
  5. Apps that use peripheral sensors (e.g., analyze a test strip) or connect to and manage regulated devices will be deemed both a medical device, and pose a high enough risk to warrant regulation."

What are the implications of regulation?

2017 Planning For Long-Term Mission Sustainability

"In some ways, for-profit organizations have it easier. “Profits” are expected, and they go to shareholders that invested capital in creating the organization."

"The issue of profitability, sustainability, and the use of “excess margin” (aka profits) is not quite so clear in non-profit organizations. Theoretically, those profits are used to reinvest in the organization and to fund services for community members who are unserved by current sources of public and private funding. But the issues and practices are far from clear."

2018 IT Touches Everything

"...how....is evaluating the success in the use of technology by its customers. Their measurement model looks at five domains—

  1. decision support,
  2. care delivery,
  3. integration and coordination,
  4. financial management, and
  5. consumer engagement.

It was interesting to see that their clients are doing best in leveraging technology for integration/coordination and financial management—and have the most work to do in consumer engagement."
