Speaker Nancy Pelosi Learns How Secure Messaging is Transforming Healthcare
Kryptiq CEO Luis Machuca Shows Connect IQ™ Success to HIT Roundtable, including Congressmen David Wu and Governor Ted Kulongoski
Portland, Ore. – November 28, 2007 – Luis Machuca, president and CEO of Kryptiq, the leading provider of next generation healthcare connectivity solutions, participated yesterday in an Oregon and the Innovation Agenda roundtable at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The roundtable was held by David Wu, Congressman, First District of Oregon; and included Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and Governor Ted Kulongoski; and was hosted by Dr. Joe Robertson, president, OHSU. During his remarks to the group, Machuca outlined how organizations around the country are using secure messaging and patient portal technologies to practice better medicine and reduce costs.
Drawing on examples from other industries, Machuca demonstrated how every other industry has utilized email and the internet to revolutionize their business, except healthcare. Replacing healthcare’s outdated paper, phone, and fax communications through IT investment in healthcare connectivity is key to controlling spiraling healthcare costs and enabling a new innovation economy to thrive in a value-driven healthcare industry. Machuca emphasized that connectivity investments do not require large centralized databases or complex federalized models; instead they need proven email and internet technologies which are readily available today. These solutions allow physicians to quickly and effectively replace their outdated communications with secure electronic communications.
“Too often the argument disintegrates into what’s the repository, or are people willing to share the data. It’s not about these things,” said Machuca, “It’s about creating a healthcare environment that demands connectivity. Every other U.S. industry has re-invented how it reaches its customers and shares data, and it’s time for healthcare to join the network.”
