Drug Price Transparency: Planning for Change

Currently, some 22 states have enacted prescription drug transparency laws that require entities across the drug supply chain to report pricing information to state officials. Designed to shed light on the true cost of drugs and to ensure that consumers and insurers aren’t being gouged, drug pricing transparency laws seek to level the playing field by delivering greater visibility into drug costs.

Today’s healthcare staffing shortage, fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic but years in the making, has left many hospitals and health systems scrambling.  To date, the shortage of front-line healthcare workers has received most of the attention, and for good reason: By 2025, the U.S. is likely to face a shortage of 446,300 home health aides; 95,000 nursing assistants; and 29,400 nurse practitioners, according to a report from consulting firm Mercer.  However, what is less appreciated

How to Build Better Relationships with the Health Insurance & Payer Communities

Modern healthcare is an intricate dance between quality and quantity.  Payers and insurance providers want better patient outcomes due to the high cost of poor health, while health providers want to ensure their patients aren’t overlooked and are appropriately cared for.  To understand how we can satisfy the needs of both patients and payers, we’ll have to take a step back and look at the relationship between payer communities and telehealth services.  Behavioral

How to Prevent a Healthcare Staffing Crisis

The Covid-19 pandemic scrambled the business models and labor-market dynamics for many industries, but probably none as dramatically and directly as healthcare. Incredible, sustained demand coupled with regional disparities, political complications, and cultural challenges have left the healthcare industry on life support, especially regarding staffing. Healthcare workers are burned out and are quitting in huge numbers. Two-and-a-half years of relentless patient need, an inadequate workforce,

Why The Stakes are Higher for Hospitals When It Comes to Data Loss & Inadequate Storage Infrastructure

by James Loveday, Healthcare Specialist at Loadbalancer.org 11/07/2022 Leave a Comment

James Loveday, Healthcare Specialist at Loadbalancer.org

According to the World Economic Forum, hospitals produce around 50 petabytes of data per year. And with 6,039 hospitals in the US alone, that amounts to a sizeable amount of data requiring secure storage. Data consists not only of confidential patient medical records but also of operational data retained by US hospitals such as personal and financial information.  This ever-increasing amount of patient data and growing risks associated with its loss, mean the stakes have therefore never been

Apple Adds Medication Tracking to iPhone. How Will It Impact The Specialty Patient Journey?

Imagine visiting your doctor’s office. Instead of swiping a copay card and filling out a paper form by hand, the receptionist says, “We take Apple Health.” You wave your iPhone over a digital kiosk, instantly uploading your current medical record and insurance information.
