Leveraging Healthcare CRM Tools to Deliver Better Patient Experiences

by Dan Lavelle, VP of Healthcare Marketing at Evariant 09/24/2019 Leave a Comment

Leveraging HCRM to Deliver Better Patient Experiences

Consumers and patients have high expectations for their care providers – they want convenience, personalization, and increasingly, price transparency.

Yet, hospitals and health systems are different from other businesses, handling more sensitive and personal information while also delivering an often life-saving service. And while that is true, consumers now experience the world holistically and expect the same level of care and

by Justin Rockman, VP of Business Development at Surgimate 09/23/2019 Leave a Comment

One of the biggest obstacles to data interoperability is the slow and piecemeal progress of healthcare organizations (HCOs) towards digitalization. While the benefits of digitalization are clear; improved efficiency, reliability of data, and enhanced communication, just to name a few; the critical (and most challenging) piece of the puzzle, is being able to share critical patient data between systems in a way that makes it easily accessible - while still retaining the security of sensitive

Why the Healthcare CIO Holds the Greatest Potential for Change

Why the Healthcare CIO Holds the Greatest Potential for Change

Consumers expect every brand interaction they have, whether at the doctor’s office or with their health insurer, to mirror the ones they have with companies like Amazon and Google: personalized, connected, and convenient. The healthcare industry, however, isn’t nearly ready to deliver on these connected experiences — not while data remains siloed across departments and organizations.   The need for interoperability — getting discrete systems and software applications to connect, exchange, and

How Tech Giants are Helping Providers Reinvent Patient Care

Healthcare costs are on the rise, and they show no signs of leveling off. According to the latest data available from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, healthcare spending in the United States reached $3.5 trillion in 2017, or $10,739 per person. Those costs are projected to rise by about five percent year-over-year. As expenditures continue to skyrocket, healthcare providers are looking to new technologies and care strategies that can help them treat patients more effectively at a

Interoperability: Why Health Systems Need to Integrate Their Digital Stack

by Graham Gardner, CEO and Co-Founder of Kyruus 08/07/2019 Leave a Comment

Interoperability: Why Health Systems Need to Integrate Their Digital Stack

Several years ago, Thomas Friedman, the best-selling New York Times columnist, began pointing out how application programming interfaces (APIs) and the resultant connectivity was enabling one-touch consumer engagement with a broad range of services. We now take it for granted that we can call a car service from our phone, watch the driver approach on a map, and then pay for our ride without leaving a single application. Similarly, we can scroll through dozens of different brands of olive oil

Ethical Concerns of AI in Healthcare: Can AI Do More Harm Than Good?

by Erica Garvin 08/06/2019 Leave a Comment

Before the AI Doctor, Ethics Must in Place

The AI doctor can see you now, but it shouldn't treat you until ethics are in place. Professor Timothy Casey explains. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ethics—once mythical adversaries only on-screen like in “The Terminator” circa 1984— are now actually at virtual odds in 2019. This time, there are no catchy slogans like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “I’ll be back,” but the moral question has returned: Does AI’s transformative power have the ability to do more harm to humankind than good? That is the
