Leveraging Personal Health Nurses to Connect the Dots Across the Care Continuum

Poorly managed chronic conditions—most of which are related to lifestyle—cost employers $36.4 billion each year in the form of absenteeism and poor productivity. Add in coverage-related and other costs, and that number skyrockets to $575 billion.

Diabetes Management in 2023 and Beyond: A Tech-Enabled Partnership Between Patient and Doctor

While the pandemic has slowed, there appears to be no end in sight to the diabetes epidemic. The number of individuals diagnosed is projected to keep growing over the next decade. What’s more concerning is that 75% of patients don’t meet guideline-based goals for A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol control. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications like heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, and even amputations.  Thankfully, more patients are embracing technology-based

Addressing Point-of-Care Ultrasound’s Shadow IT Problem

by Ketan Patel, Sr. Director of Security & Cloud Operations, Exo 09/05/2023 Leave a Comment

Addressing Point-of-Care Ultrasound’s Shadow IT Problem

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is taking hold across healthcare, and for good reason. By administering ultrasound technology at the point of care, whether that be the patient’s bedside or an ambulance, POCUS prevents patients from being sent to another facility for imaging or waiting for a radiologist. That, in turn, enables more efficient workflows and faster diagnoses and treatment.  Multiple studies, from The Nurse Practitioner and the Annals of Medicine and Surgery, identify POCUS

Why Accurate Data is a Lifeline to Care in the Medicaid Redetermination Cycle

Why Accurate Data is a Lifeline to Care in the Medicaid Redetermination Cycle

During the pandemic, Medicaid enrollment grew by nearly 30% to cover more than 93 million Americans, due in large part to COVID-19 provisions that included continuous Medicaid enrollment. With the unwinding of these pandemic emergency orders, annual cycles of Medicaid redetermination have returned. As a result, states have removed close to 4 million Americans from Medicaid to date. The ongoing redetermination process is likely to expand health inequities across the nation, including in
