Analysis: Examining The Highly Fragmented International EHR Market

The EMEA market for EMR/EHR IT is estimated to have been worth $3.7B in 2018 (both acute and ambulatory applications) according to Signify Research’s recently published market report on the global EMR/EHR market. However, only one vendor, Cerner, is estimated to have had a double-digit revenue share. Despite its recent announcement that it will potentially sell its Hospital IT and Integrated Care business, Agfa Health was the only other vendor to come close. In terms of suppliers, the market is

Beyond Interoperability: Data Activation and Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare

The world of healthcare is changing, and with it, our approach to understanding the concept of patients and doctors, ways of delivering care, and building a better relationship between every member associated with it is also changing. Like other industries, healthcare is also going through a major revolution, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands at the core of it. Biological sciences and medical research are rapidly changing fields. Each day, we witness advances in genomics, imaging, and

5 Things Patients Are Looking For On Your Physician Practice’s Website

Patients have taken a more active role in their healthcare journey, and with more digital options than ever before, their expectations have significantly shifted. More are taking their healthcare-related searches online –– an estimated 80 percent according to a recent report by Doctor.com –– and adopting a consumer-like approach, comparing and contrasting providers to find a practice that fits their needs to a tee. With patient consumerism on the rise, it’s become imperative for providers to

3 Ways Health Plans Can Leverage Lab Data Analytics

Payers have long realized the value of leveraging disparate data sets to gain greater insight on patients, with popular data sources including claims, electronic health records, and surveys on social determinants and behavioral health. More recently, health plans have begun to appreciate another source of data that can help them avoid missed revenues, predict emerging conditions and improve risk management: laboratory data. This category includes data on critical health factors such as

Applied analytics: Making the dream of cost-controlled population health a reality

Ninety percent of a solution is accurately defining the problem, however, in healthcare, much like nearly every other industry, more time and energy is spent on fixing perceived symptoms rather than identifying root caU.S.es. Today we will explore the contribution that applied analytics has made and continues to make on bending the dramatic U.S. healthcare cost curve. To do this well we will first explore the primary cost drivers (i.e. root caU.S.es), as to why the U.S. spends more on care than

by Mark LaRow, CEO of Verato 06/11/2019 Leave a Comment

Recently, articles in The Atlantic and Fortune highlighted a risk that plagues the healthcare system but is rarely talked about. The in-depth pieces uncover real-life patient stories resulting from mismatched and incorrect patient medical records. These tragic stories unfold in the articles and highlight scenarios that include permanent brain damage in a 5-year old; a cancer scare due to an incomplete radiological history; the missed diagnosis of a fatal brain aneurysm in a 47-year old woman;

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

The maternal mortality rate in the United States is the highest of any developed country – and the rate is rising. The US is currently the most dangerous place to give birth in the developed world. Few to none of these maternal deaths are due to medical mismanagement. Instead, problems of access, care coordination, and inequities in health care resources and social services are at the heart of maternal death rates. Minority women, particularly those facing socioeconomic challenges, are the

3 Things Patients Want From Their Healthcare Financial Experience

3 Things Patients Want From Their Healthcare Financial Experience

In most healthcare organizations, basic automation is used to complete individual revenue cycle tasks. Seldom, however, is technology used to optimize entire revenue cycle management (RCM) processes and improve the patient financial experience. The situation is dramatically different outside of healthcare in industries that have long competed for direct consumer dollars. To book an airline flight, for example, consumers simply open up an app or a website. At their convenience — any time of day

Why An Integrated Healthcare CRM Is Critical to Patient Engagement

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is the well-known backbone of commercial sales forces across the globe. But what many don’t realize is that CRM has a utility that extends far beyond relationship-building in a traditional business setting. CRM systems are now engaging more than customers. They’re engaging patients in a healthcare setting far more complex than any retail or B2B enterprise. CRM applications are used to engage patients by providing them with a superior experience from their
