Engaging Physicians in Data-Driven Healthcare

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, physicians were attuned to the operational and financial challenges faced by most hospitals and healthcare systems. They just weren’t necessarily living those challenges firsthand.  However, when procedures were canceled and demand for supplies soared, the experience became more personal. Many physicians experienced steep revenue decline as well as the challenges of securing the right medical supplies when they were needed. They also saw how the industry’s

Clinical Simulation and its Integral Role in Healthcare Training

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a major shift in medical education. Since students were not classified as critical employees of hospitals, it became difficult for them to gain clinical hours with patients.

Navigating a Perfect Storm Moment: Healthcare Labor Shortages and the Potential of the Digital Workforce

It remains to be seen when COVID-19 will finally be in the rearview mirror. Each day there are fresh headlines about new waves of infections popping up around the world. My physician said he expects vaccine boosters to become a permanent part of the annual flu shot regimen.  The healthcare industry has been under nonstop pressure since February 2020. What began as an explosion of patient demand for urgent care resources, ventilators, and ICU beds evolved into multiple, regional infection

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the major impact that data has on our lives, especially when it comes to healthcare. From track-and-trace systems to digital Covid vaccination passports, to patient data, to the medical supply chain, there has been a huge increase in data collected by governments and healthcare providers. This massive increase in healthcare-related data collection brings with it significant privacy concerns. Now, more than ever, data protection must be front and center in

COVID-19: As Omicron Variant Spreads, Let’s Not Repeat Rookie Mistakes

No one should be surprised there’s another COVID variant on the loose, and yet seemingly, everyone is. The variant, named Omicron (the fifteenth letter in the Greek alphabet), was first reported to the World Health Organisation (WHO) by South Africa on November 24th. Unlike its name would suggest, Omicron is the seventh COVID-19 variant of concern—but a pandemic-fatigued global public could be forgiven for thinking it’s the twentieth.  Governments across the developed world have pushed

Understanding an Individual’s Uniquely Personal Health Beliefs & Behaviors to Drive Better Outcomes

When it comes to health and wellness, everyone has an approach as unique as they are. What’s more, is that an individual’s approach to their health can – and most likely will – evolve over the course of their lifetime. A decade ago, people weren’t dabbling in CBD to ease their stress, having Zoom calls with their doctors or riding a cycle with thousands of other people from the comfort of their living room. People’s health behaviors, including diet, exercise, and wellness visits, continue to

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

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

Patient safety is only possible with accurate and comprehensive medical records, and this includes those records available in the active archive. Despite the urgency, one of the biggest challenges in healthcare today is maintaining Longitudinal Records – one record per patient over time, across HIS systems, and among various facilities and treatments. That challenge is made even harder when old records are scattered and inaccessible.  Remember Paper Files? Twenty years ago, seeing the

Why Digital Pathology Platform Adoption Will Fail Without Intoperability

The global pandemic has cast a spotlight on the impact of digital transformation in healthcare. From ensuring access to care with telemedicine to accelerating vaccine development, technology has rapidly unlocked new sources of value for patients, providers, and researchers alike. While much of this has played out before our very eyes, other advancements have been less visible but equally as significant. Consider the rise of digital pathology. Pathology sits at the core of disease diagnosis;
