Healthcare Cybersecurity: Fending Off The Rise of Cyberattacks

Organizations in the healthcare sector face particularly acute cyber threats. They confront unique risks due to a range of factors — from the huge amount of sensitive data they store to the perception that they are lucrative targets for ransomware gangs. Cybercriminals recognize that there are many vulnerabilities in the healthcare sector, which has led to a surge in cyberattacks.  Data breaches and other cyberattacks on healthcare organizations aren’t just capable of inflicting a severe

Payment Integrity in Healthcare: Challenges and Solutions

Whether you work in healthcare or are just a patient who has interacted with the healthcare system, it shouldn't surprise you to read that healthcare costs have been going up and are expected to continue to do so into 2025 burdening all stakeholders. Despite the obvious need to cut wasted healthcare spending, research suggests that the industry as a whole isn’t very good at it, with administrative spending being one of the biggest culprits. One study found that nearly one-third of excess U.S.

Home Monitoring Programs: Extending Care Beyond the Hospital

Home Monitoring Programs: Extending Care Beyond the Hospital

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) have been firmly established in every health setting for more than a decade, yet they continue to be a source of frustration for most users. Physicians are plagued by the never-ending task of entering data into EMRs, without seeing a meaningful impact on practice efficiency or the health outcomes of their patients. This problem is not unique to Phoenix Children’s; it is a widespread issue that many, if not most, health systems face even today. Acknowledging

AI Against Cancer: Capabilities and Limitations for Early Detection and Treatment Planning

AI Against Cancer: Capabilities and Limitations for Early Detection and Treatment Planning

The American Cancer Society predicted 2 million new cancer cases in the US alone in 2024, which amounts to roughly 5,480 diagnoses every day. What makes matters worse is that the pandemic delayed care for more than 75% of cancer patients. Unsurprisingly, healthcare providers are turning to new technologies like AI in search of solutions. To gauge the magnitude of this trend, consider this: as of August 7, 2024, 950 AI/ML-enabled medical devices have received clearance from the FDA, with 76% of

3 Ways Healthcare Can Help Solve the Biggest Health Equity Challenges for Youth Impacted by the Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice Systems

All children deserve access to quality healthcare, including those involved with the foster care and juvenile justice systems. Health equity for system-involved youth, individuals who have been impacted by the child welfare or juvenile justice systems, is critical for children to lead fulfilling lives. System-involved youth face incredible challenges that make them a uniquely vulnerable population.  Often, their health needs are complex, influenced by significant trauma, and exacerbated

Why Behavioral Health Needs Next-Generation EHRs

by Albert Roberts BSN, RN CSM, UXC and Clinical Systems Analyst II at Juno Health 11/08/2024 Leave a Comment

Effective behavioral health treatment requires a collaborative team of caregivers. These teams need seamless integration and visibility across multidisciplinary efforts involving cross-departmental collaboration with shared resources and goals. Next-generation EHRs are pivotal in providing the necessary visibility and coordination for critical behavioral healthcare. Unlike general healthcare facilities, many behavioral health providers either lack EHR systems or are burdened with outdated

CalAIM: How to Support CBOs in Medicaid Transformation

California’s bold new CalAIM Medicaid transformation program is restructuring what partnership for health looks like across the state. With a goal of better-integrating healthcare and social services for our most vulnerable residents, many eyes are turning toward local community-based organizations (CBOs) as a critical component of that evolution and investment in health equity. However, traditional health privacy, security infrastructure, and regulatory requirements, like HIPAA and HITRUST,

Data Velocity in Healthcare: Why Speed Matters

by Nick Stepro, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Arcadia 11/07/2024 Leave a Comment

Data Velocity in Healthcare: Why Speed Matters

In healthcare, where the stakes are incredibly high, the speed at which we can share, process, and act on data significantly influences patient outcomes and brings success in value-based care arrangements. A recent survey found that only 47% of organizations are using data aged less than 24 hours for working care gaps, and just 39% of organizations use similarly recent data for patient stratification and building cohorts. Stale data can mean inadequate care and missed opportunities to manage

4 Steps to Patient-Centric Incident Response in Healthcare

The healthcare industry reported more ransomware attacks than any other critical infrastructure sector in 2023. With the escalation of attacks in scale and intensity, it is clear that conventional healthcare cybersecurity methods have proven inadequate. A significant shift is required to combat increasingly sophisticated attacks. For example, incident response—the standard processes and technologies used to detect and respond to cyber threats—has worked well for most industries, such as

Debunking the Myths of Self-Directed Care

by Vince Coppola, President & CEO of PPL 11/05/2024 Leave a Comment

Debunking the Myths of Self-Directed Care

Self-directed care remains one of the best-kept secrets in long-term care, and though it’s steadily growing, overall enrollment – and awareness – remains relatively low. From 2019 to 2023, the U.S. saw a 23% increase in people self-directing their long-term services and supports (LTSS). Yet, because many eligible individuals remain unaware of self-direction, vulnerable populations, including individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities, chronic diseases, and adults
