Top 5 Roadblocks to Population Health Management Adoption for Providers

by Dr. Chris Hobson, MD MBA, Chief Medical Officer at Orion Health 05/23/2019 Leave a Comment

Top 5 Roadblocks to Population Health Management for Providers

The healthcare system is undergoing a transformation to restore the patient to the center of their care and to provide all patients with the highest quality care at the lowest possible price and with the best possible experience. Frequently the patient’s health journey is fragmented between multiple providers, an issue which must be addressed as a key part of any successful value-based care model. Population health management (PHM) is an umbrella term that incorporates the multitude of payment

Why Playing Political Games Does Not Improve Patient Care

Playing Political Games Does Not Improve Patient Care

Now that it is the political season where divisiveness rules the day, the bevy of President wannabes’ interest in maternal health is suspect. After all, none of them have joined the many maternal health advocates who praised the President for signing into law the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act which gives grants to the states to help identify the causes of maternal mortality.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, black and American Indian/Alaska Native women are about 3

3 Challenges of Healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) Performance Testing

by Maxim Chernyak, Head of Test Automation & Performance Testing Lab at A1QA 05/21/2019 Leave a Comment

Is Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) on Par With the IoT Market as a Whole?

There’s no doubt that the internet of things (IoT) creates a new technological ecosystem in healthcare, helping organizations manage bottlenecks in care and bridging the gap between patients and providers. The list of applications for connected devices in hospitals keeps growing from real-time staff tracking across facilities to ensuring preventive equipment maintenance and 24/7 patient vitals monitoring in ER and resuscitation departments.But care delivery doesn’t stop after discharge. A range

As More Americans Suffer from PTSD, Digital Health Solutions Offer Hope

As More Americans Suffer from PTSD, Digital Health Solutions Offer Hope

With deadly attacks in our communities and schools becoming more commonplace, increasingly more common natural disasters, and a number of military conflicts in the last decade, it’s no surprise that 70 percent of U.S. adults have experienced a traumatic event in their lifetime. Of those, twenty percent go on to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental health disorder that affects a person’s thoughts, emotions, and even physical wellbeing. PTSD—which occurs when people experience

5 Ways Health Plans Can Motivate Medicare & Medicaid Members to Complete Their Annual Wellness Visits

5 Ways Health Plans Can Motivate Medicare & Medicaid Members to Complete Their Annual Wellness Visits

Despite the fact that Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) have been offered as a benefit to Medicare Advantage and Medicaid members for several years, less than one in five members actually receive one. That number is even more surprising when you consider just how important AWVs can be for health plans, providers, and most importantly, consumers. For example, Medicare Advantage members who complete an AWV are 4.2 times more likely on average to complete other high-value health care activities, such

Improving Social and Cultural Determinants of Health Through Technology

4 Areas Where Big Data is Transforming Healthcare Right Now

In a perfect world, every individual would have equal access to adequate healthcare services regardless of socioeconomic status or cultural background. In the real world, both play a significant role in the level and quality of care a person might receive. It is critical that the healthcare industry as a whole remains cognizant of social and cultural determinants as it continues to innovate and transition towards value-based care models. We have long been aware of the care challenges faced by

Why Medicare For All Is Not Going to Happen In America

by Margalit Gur-Arie 05/10/2019 Leave a Comment

Why Medicare For All Is Not Going to Happen In America

I am going to make a prediction here. No matter who we elect in 2020, Bernie or Trump or anything in between, Medicare For All is not going to happen in America. One can run an electrifying campaign on the promise of Medicare For All, or indignantly against it, but this is pure theater on both sides. I don’t know if God can make a rock so big and heavy that even He can’t lift it, but I do know that government can make corporations so big and powerful that even government itself can’t break

Haves vs. Have-Nots in Healthcare: Why The Haves Are Still Winning

Haves vs. Have-Nots in Healthcare: Why The Haves Are Still Winning

Ideology is a beguiling mistress. When she winks and showers rewards on the faithful, they’re much more likely to focus on successes over failures moving forward, even if the latter vastly outnumber the former. My use of the word ‘ideology’ here is intentional. I come from rather humble beginnings and have experienced the benefits that a market-based capitalist system offers to those willing to work hard and color inside the lines. I’ve earned a level of prosperity my parents could only dream

Digital Health – Is It Worth It? How to Calculate ROI in Digital Health

Digital Health - Is It Worth It? How to Calculate ROI in Digital Health

The results are in. A 2019 PEGA survey asked 2,000 U.S. consumers how they felt about recent trends in healthcare, and the response was overwhelming — they want a personal touch, and they want it digital.  Not only that, but the survey also revealed that communications from healthcare organizations actually drive a patient’s desire to improve their health, fueling the popular opinion that technology is the magic key to patient engagement. What the survey fails to reveal, though, is why the

Analysis: 5 Trends Shaping The Future of The Global Radiology IT Market

Against the backdrop of artificial intelligence in medical imaging and other hyped healthcare IT technologies, market trends in core radiology IT software and services can easily be overlooked. Many of the largest markets in North America and Western Europe have reached saturation, with few new “greenfield” opportunities. Instead, the dynamics of much of the global radiology IT market revolve around long procurement cycles, replacement or contract roll-on and an entrenched customer base.However,
