Does Data Hold the Key to Streamlining Provider Credentialing?

by John Bou, Co-Founder & COO at Modio Health and Sandy Vega, VP of Medical Staff Services for CHG Healthcare 11/29/2022 Leave a Comment

Does Data Hold the Key to Streamlining Provider Credentialing?

Provider credentialing is an essential part of healthcare. A provider cannot work or get paid without a proper license or credential, and yet this highly complex process is still done on paper (also sticky notes on file cabinets, Excel spreadsheets—you get the idea) by many healthcare organizations. Manually credentialing providers adds to an already lengthy process. One expired certificate or a delayed privileging request can prevent a provider from seeing patients for more than 60

by Dinesh Katiyar, Head of Business Development at Asimily 11/28/2022 Leave a Comment

Tech Security Misconceptions Are Threatening Hospitals' IoT Equipment

Hospitals and other critical healthcare systems face skyrocketing risks as ransomware attacks—which most commonly target IoT devices—continue to escalate. In 2021 alone, IoT ransomware attack incidents targeting healthcare organizations increased by 123%.  While most healthcare systems have a healthy respect for the importance of securing the myriad Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices humming within their facilities, many harbor misconceptions that hamper their abilities to

by Paul Shorrosh is the CEO and founder of AccuReg 11/28/2022 Leave a Comment

Fines Push Hospitals To Go Beyond CMS Price Transparency Rules

The gamble is over for hospitals that avoided complying with CMS price transparency mandates.  After a slow start since they were implemented more than 18 months ago, CMS has issued 350 warnings for noncompliance, 157 corrective action requests, and finally issued fines to two Georgia hospitals in June. It seems many more will be on the way.  The fines are significant. The first two hospitals faced fines of roughly $880,000 and $214,000. Noncompliant hospitals with 550 beds or

How Will New FDA Hearing Aid Regulations Impact Health Plans?

The time has finally arrived. The Food & Drug Administration’s new over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid regulations are now in effect and health plans are starting to explore what it means for them. Among the many questions they may need to grapple with, a few are particularly salient: - How will the new rules impact their benefit offerings?  - What new opportunities will arise?  - What potential pitfalls should they be aware of?    Introducing OTC hearing

by Leah Sparks, CEO and Founder of Wildflower Health 11/23/2022 Leave a Comment

Three Seismic Shifts Transforming Women’s Health

My company recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, which prompted me to reflect on the progress of the women’s health sector over the last decade. There has been so much change, so many technological innovations and clinical breakthroughs. And yet, two things haven’t changed all that much. Our outcomes in the U.S. have not improved; in fact they are in decline. This is true whether you are measuring maternal mortality, health equity, or complication rates.  And as an industry, we’ve yet to

What Has COVID Ever Done For Us?

The early 2020s will be studied by historians as a time of global uncertainty when an unknown pathogen caused a public health emergency that brought the world to the brink. It may also be remembered as a time of unparalleled cooperation and advancement in technologies, prompted by the Covid pandemic, that provided enduring benefits for generations to come. Just as the two world wars of the 20th Century were the deadliest and most attritional in history, they also triggered developments in

Using Data Analytics to Address Social Determinants of Health

Using Data Analytics to Address Social Determinants of Health

Americans might run on Dunkin’ — but the healthcare industry runs on data, specifically structured and unstructured data. Easily aggregated and translated into numbers for analysis, structured data lives in databases and on spreadsheets. Unstructured data, on the other hand, is more complex. You can’t use conventional tools to process or analyze it. Yet while it’s messy and hard to organize, it’s incredibly valuable. And one type of unstructured data is human conversations, including
