Nurse Shortage is a Chronic Problem Being Treated With Acute Solutions

While COVID-19 has exacerbated the shortage of nurses in the US, the shortage precedes the pandemic by decades.

Deploying Advanced Decision Support for Better Sepsis Management

As the leading cause of hospital deaths in the United States, sepsis is a significant concern for patients and providers alike. In a 2020 study, the World Health Organization found a 46% mortality rate for patients treated in the ICU for sepsis.

3 Ways to Reduce Administrative Burden of Growing Volume of Prior Authorizations

by Daniel Riedel, SVP of Strategic Services at Copado 12/08/2021 Leave a Comment

Why Innovation in Healthcare is on FHIR

We are in a potential Health Renaissance and innovating at break-neck speed. However, with that acceleration as always, comes risk. We have to be careful with our data.
