Last month, Axial debuted its Patient Engagement Index (PEI) with a ranking of Florida hospitals. Last week, we followed up with the Texas ranking. The reception has been incredible. People are evidently very much ready to join the conversation about transforming healthcare through patient engagement. Through the PEI, we've seen some incredible work happening at a select number of health systems. The investments that these health systems are making in patient engagement leads us to be optimistic about the future of healthcare. Here is some of the coverage from our first two installments of the Patient Engagement Index:

A major academic health system will soon announce that it will replace its EHR system with a team of Austrian monks. Axial had a chance to sit down with their CIO for an exclusive interview.
This is a good time to be a big EHR company. Health systems are willing to pay more than $100 million to have a new electronic health record system installed. Even the New York Times fawned over the innovative prowess of Epic, which is arguably the most powerful EHR company on the planet.
Matt's blog "How Would You Spend $100M" reminded me of one I wrote two years ago on this subject, and sadly not much has changed. I calculated that a local hospital could provide primary care services twenty times for each uninsured patient for what they paid to purchase and deploy their EHR. Surely there's a better way....
I met Vinod Khosla and his Chief of Staff in Khosla Ventures office this week. We talked about Axial and discussed some of the trends driving change in healthcare.
