Innovation balanced with clinical need will solve our health care system from failure. It will evolve from clinical practice.
As a leader in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, as well as an advocate for patients and physicians, I saw the frontlines of the opioid crisis. Pain Scored is an easy daily log for patients to report and track symptoms, improvements, and problems. For physicians, its a HIPAA compatable documentation and compliance tool with time saving attributes. Future developments will help identify patients at risk for harm from therapy and suggest alternatives.
Patient Premier is a company focused on making health data useful to patients, physicians and other health companies. My partner Bryan Marascalchi and I started with an easy interface to understand publicly reported health quality data. We then turned to patient generated health data and created the Symptom Scored ™ platform of which PainScored is the first example. In the future, we will help democratize and monetize health data so that all patients can benefit from its use.
AnesthesiaStat is a full service anesthesia consulting company operated by practicing board certified anesthesiologists. My partner, Dr. Harold Pierre, rely on our experience as providers to create the best solutions to optimize the practice of Anesthesia in an era of health care reform.
