by Dr. Kel Pults, DHA, MSN, RN-BC, Chief Clinical Officer at MediQuant 12/27/2021 Leave a Comment

The Value of an Enterprise Active Data Archive Begins with Patient Safety

Telehealth vs. Remote Patient Monitoring: Which Is Better for Your Patients?

Are Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and telehealth the same thing? If virtual visits replace in-person visits, will that negatively impact my practice? Will I lose reimbursement and the in-person connection with patients? These are questions and concerns that we frequently hear as practices consider if a Remote Patient Monitoring program is right for their patients. What is Telehealth? Let’s start with definitions.

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. Nurses across healthcare specialties have been in consistently high demand for many decades, and the current shortage, as the Baby Boomer generation continues to age (effectively converting them from nurses to patients themselves), has continued from around 2012. Some reports estimate that to fully cover our shortage by 2030, 1.2 million RNs will be needed. Yet, entry-level nursing

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.
