Can Artificial Intelligence Replicate The Human Touch in Healthcare Provision?

Anyone who recalls the ‘turbo’ trend of the 1980s will have a foreboding sense of déjà vu about the sudden ubiquity of artificial intelligence in every aspect of our lives. What began with the Swedish motor manufacturer, Saab, unveiling its 99 Turbo Coupé in 1977, suddenly had manufacturers scrambling for their own version of the latest technological buzzword in everything from alarm clocks to hairdryers. The craze reached its apotheosis with the spoof launch, by Viz magazine, of the

How Emergency Departments Can Drive Better Outpatient Care for Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke

Today’s hospital emergency departments (EDs) face formidable challenges as they strive to deliver high-quality care to more and more patients. A shortage of newly trained physicians, nurses, and support staff, and high burnout rates among existing staff, are making it increasingly difficult to maintain staffing levels at those needed to meet patient demand. Without changes to care delivery, they could even diminish the quality of care. Patients are also presenting in the ED with ever-more

4 Ways AP Throttles Business Growth at Medical Facilities

by Alfredo Fernandez-Concha, EVP of Partnership Strategy Growth at Castle Connolly & Todd Bellemare, Sr. VP, Strategic Solutions at Definitive Healthcare 08/28/2023 Leave a Comment

Primary care is at a tipping point. We know it has been said before. However, in the past, primary care delivery has been dictated by changes in payor-led reimbursement models. Examples include healthcare maintenance organizations (HMOs) of the 90s and more recent risk-sharing, value-based care initiatives. This time other forces are also at play, including: Nontraditional market entrantsPhysician shortages exacerbated by industry-wide burnoutConsumer expectations Health systems will be

It’s Time to Treat Substance Use Disorder Like the Chronic Disease It Is

by Hans Morefield, CEO, CHESS Health 08/25/2023 Leave a Comment

It's Time to Treat Substance Use Disorder Like the Chronic Disease It Is

Far too often, substance use disorder (SUD) is viewed as an “acute condition,” one that can be “cured” with short-term treatment, such as a week-long stay in a detox facility. This could not be further from the truth. The failure to understand the science behind addiction leads individuals who are undertreated or inappropriately treated to return to use again and again. SUD is not a moral failing. It is not a behavioral issue. It is not a choice. The leading health organizations around the

Telehealth As A Solution For The Medicaid Population

by Anish Sebastian, CEO and Co-founder, Babyscripts 08/24/2023 Leave a Comment

Bullshit Metrics: Is Patient Engagement Real?

For most of history, cutting-edge technology and affluence have gone hand-in-hand. The healthcare industry is no exception to the rule. The wealthiest hospitals have the ability to invest in the newest machinery and the best digital infrastructure. Meanwhile, low-income populations ― whose health needs are often the most urgent ― are less likely to be able to access the tools that might mean the difference between life and death. The dawning era of telehealth represents a welcome

A Blueprint for Solving the U.S. Nursing Shortage Crisis

A Blueprint for Solving the U.S. Nursing Shortage Crisis

Nurses have the highest level of public trust across medical professions, yet there’s a huge chasm between Americans’ appreciation for nursing and the profession’s uncertain future. A nursing shortage, exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, has been fueled largely by high levels of moral distress, politicization, and lack of support. Left unchecked, the country will experience a critical shortfall of nearly 200,000 nurses in just a few years, according to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor

Financial Experience: Empowering Patients to Improve Affordability

Patient Financial Experience: Empowering Patients to Improve Affordability

It’s no secret that healthcare costs have continued to rise over the years. In fact, a staggering four in 10 Americans have skipped medical care due to financial concerns. The rise of high-deductible health plans means more financial responsibility has fallen directly on patients, as out-of-pocket costs have skyrocketed by 111% since 2010 and are projected to increase by 10% each year through 2026.   But there’s good news. According to our own research and data, there is roughly $58
