4 Reasons Why Healthcare Executives Are Less Eager to Invest in Health IT

Hospital and health system C-suite executives recognize that technology will play a central role in helping their organizations meet quality and cost objectives.

by Eran Orr, Founder of XRHealth 07/31/2019 Leave a Comment

Extended Reality (XR) as a Medical Device

XR stands for extended reality. Basically, it's an umbrella term covering the VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), and MR (mixed reality) technologies. All three are already involved or will be involved in healthcare. In the very near future, you will be able to “swipe” between all three within an application. Different combinations of the technologies will be used to provide specific health benefits, eventually all within a single platform. It is sometimes hard to explain to people

Referential Matching—What It Is and Why It Matters

Clean patient data is the critical first step for any successful health IT integration, EHR conversion, interoperability initiative or electronic information exchange.
