Turning Health Data Deluge Into Actionable Healthcare Analytics

At the time, the 2009 HITECH Act and the introduction of the Meaningful Use program represented a momentous step in healthcare’s digital transformation.

Revenue Cycle Management Can Help Advance The Cybersecurity Mandate

Holding steady in the No. 1 spot, the healthcare industry has held the top rank in IBM’s Cost of Data Breach report for the past 11 years. It’s a lead that seems secure. In just a year from 2020-2021, the average total cost for healthcare for an event increased 29.5%, and now sits at $9.23 million.  Even amidst that threat landscape, the percentage those in the healthcare space spend on cybersecurity hasn’t climbed out of the single digits. Only 6% or less of the IT budget is typically

Engaging Physicians in Data-Driven Healthcare

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, physicians were attuned to the operational and financial challenges faced by most hospitals and healthcare systems.

Clinical Simulation and its Integral Role in Healthcare Training

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a major shift in medical education. Since students were not classified as critical employees of hospitals, it became difficult for them to gain clinical hours with patients.
