Jim's passion and focus is on the trends and facts of what he calls "the new middle market of healthcare" and how remote care technology will serve it best. He describes this space as a place where payers and providers are building new service models around the emerging accountable care (ACO), patient centered medical home (PCMH) and participatory health models.
