Mark Tomaino is a senior operating executive with Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, a health care information technology investment firm headquartered in New York City. In this capacity, Mark Tomaino works closely with many different elements of health care IT, including the electronic health record (EHR).
At the most basic level, an EHR is a digital version of a traditional medical chart. The EHR includes all pertinent information about a patient’s health history, including diagnoses, medications, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory results. Electronic health records provide a number of advantages over traditional charts. The majority of these benefits involve ease of accessibility. Because the EHR is entirely digital in nature, many types of providers can access the same information and coordinate their efforts. The EHR also gives patients easier access to their medical record, while many types of EHRs let them communicate directly with their physician, allowing for increased patient participation and greater trust in the health care system.

The Collaborative Cancer Cloud Aims to Enhance Medical Science
Founder of the Healthcare IT Knowledge Network, Mark Tomaino possesses more than two decades of experience in the health-care sector. A senior operating executive for Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, Mark Tomaino is in charge of investments in health-care information technology.
In recent news, Intel and Oregon Health & Science announced plans to leverage cloud-based technological advancements by launching the Collaborative Cancer Cloud. An open source system, the application will serve as a precision medicine analytics platform that enables sharing between hospitals and research institutions. This development will securely transfer clinical, patient genomic, imaging, and other information necessary for enhancing patient care. While the intended use early on is for cancer research, the organizations state that the network can easily be leveraged to advance studies on other genetic disorders, such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and autism.
As of August 2015, two additional institutions are expected to partake in the system’s development by 2016. Their participation will be vital for growing the patient pool and building awareness among practitioners. In the future, the creators will make the technology available to other organizations to utilize and customize for health-care information purposes.
Medical Provider Explores Importance of Health-care Application
As a senior industry executive at Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, Mark Tomaino is responsible for identifying and managing investments in the health-care IT market. Mark Tomaino stays at the forefront of his industry by following the latest trends and developments in health-care IT.
In a recent article for the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), an experienced medical provider emphasized how mobile health-care applications can increase medication safety. Pua Cooper, MSN, RN, CMUP, explained that medical providers always ask patients what medications they use because a full medication list is necessary to help prevent medical errors and avoid harmful medication combinations. Despite the importance of an accurate medication list, many patients have trouble recalling all the names and doses of each drug they use, especially since more than 10 percent of people take at least five prescription drugs daily.
Cooper suggests that patients use a health-care app on their mobile devices to ensure that they have a complete list of medications readily available for their medical providers. According to Cooper, there are a variety of apps offering a host of different features, including reminders to use medications, options to share information with caregivers, and prompts to get refills. Cooper explains that providers can facilitate the use of health-care applications by proactively educating patients to reduce barriers to technology adoption.
