Coding in Age of COVID-19: Deciphering Coding Nuances, Best Practices

Without much warning, the novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19, has taken over our healthcare system. It has taxed our healthcare workers, our national stockpiles of PPE, and affected millions of Americans nationwide. In addition to healthcare workers on the front lines, the pandemic has also impacted the healthcare revenue cycle, causing major confusion, questions, and inconsistencies as coding specialists learn the latest COVID-19 codes and guidelines at warp speed. With cases rising by the tens of

Shoring Up the Healthcare Supply Chain: 4 Lessons From The COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response told a House committee that “supply chain issues were among the most significant challenges to preparing for an influenza pandemic as well as other infectious diseases.”  A few months later, healthcare systems across the country and around the world are face-to-face with that harsh reality, as many of the largest healthcare suppliers are unable to fully meet the growing global demand for personal protective equipment

How AR and MR Technology Can Reduce Medical Vulnerability to Improve the Patient Experience

by Paul Jensen, President, Novarad 04/28/2020 Leave a Comment

How AR/MR Technology Can Reduce Medical Vulnerability for a Better Patient Experience

Hospitals and health systems work hard every day to deliver patient-centered care. In fact, “the patient experience” is something now being measured, monitored and discussed throughout the healthcare continuum. Yet for most patients, moments of anxiety and medical vulnerability still abound, and the conversation rarely addresses this important fact. Patients awaiting an X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan, for instance, maybe fearful of the results.

Fear of Changing EHRs? Here’s What You Should be Concerned About

by Khalid Al-Maskari, CEO at Health Information Management Systems (HiMS) 04/27/2020 Leave a Comment

Fear of Changing EHRs? Here’s What You Should be Concerned About

Over the years, the EHR has developed a poor reputation as a time-waster, a source of frustration for staff and a significant contributor of burnout in the healthcare industry. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 59% of physicians said their EHR negatively impacted their time at work. This is because EHRs can be inflexible, hard to use and lack interoperability with other systems. With so many problems surrounding the reputation of these tools, its

Digital Health Contagion: How COVID-19 Accelerated The Positive Spread of Digital Solutions

Digital health contagion: How COVID-19 has accelerated the positive spread of digital solutions

Remember – just three short but world-changing months ago – when many of us were at the annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. The date was January 13th, 2020.  Coronavirus was a problem in China, of vague interest – perhaps like SARS, unlikely to have a big impact in the U.S. Our community of healthcare executives, investors, and entrepreneurs were once again gathering in San Francisco. And the adoption of digital health? Well, there was still more talk than action. The arguments for

How AI-Driven Insight Could Fuel Medicare Advantage Success

Navigating Healthcare’s Uncertain Future: Three Data-Driven Approaches for Payers

Medicare Advantage plans need more than consumer-centric design, payer/provider alignment, and strong connections across the continuum of care to drive value. The high-value performance also depends on their ability to use data to make a meaningful difference in members’ health. With 11,000 people aging into Medicare daily, proficiency in managing Medicare Advantage populations is critical for demonstrating value in a competitive market. Enrollment in these plans is growing significantly,

COVID-19 Outbreak: The Opportunity and Importance of Health Informatics

Never before has health informatics played a greater role in public health than during the COVID-19 pandemic.  While the Health IT industry is certainly challenged due to the overall disruption to the healthcare system, the pandemic undoubtedly underscores the opportunity and importance of health informatics, such as telehealth, remote patient monitoring, patient engagement, AI-based drug discovery, precision medicine, and clinical decision support, but nowhere more pressing than the fields of

The Technological Ironies of the Current State of Value-Based Care

The Technological Ironies of the Current State of Value-Based Care

Even though many think of 2008 as the first time CMS began emphasizing quality over quantity via the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA), the truth is that we’ve been on a 30-plus-year journey to get to this point. It really started when managed care became a hot trend, but eventually, the friction between payers and providers was too high and patients were caught in the middle. Then came accountable care, which while still important today, ultimately isn’t creating

Why COVID-19 Underscores The Importance of Social Determinants of Health

Why COVID-19 Underscores Importance of Social Determinants of Health

Google “Social Determinants of Health” and one will quickly discover a kind of litany of data pointing to a certain definition of “health” defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being not merely the absence of disease or infirmity,” and socioeconomic barriers, which may prohibit equitable access to good health and wellness (Healthcare) more completely among diverse populations. Nevertheless, the heart of the matter

Value-Based Care’s Story Will Turn in the 2020s

Value-based care initiatives matured in recent years thanks to exciting new technology and influential policy changes. But the coming decade will see transformative changes that will eventually lead to a uniform realization of value-based care across the entire healthcare continuum. Specialty pharmacy represents one area of healthcare that is wholeheartedly welcoming a discussion about value. With the costs of six-figure specialty drugs and the number of patients using them continuing to
