Can Blockchain Technology Fix Healthcare’s Problems? Not Even Close

by Richard Rupp, SVP of Product at Modio Health 09/30/2019 Leave a Comment

FDA Approves Blockchain/IoT Pilot to Track Specialty Prescription Drugs Across 3 States Blockchain in Healthcare_Next Stop for Data-driven Healthcare: Blockchain

The 2019 theme focuses on supporting healthy communities, and what better way to support communities than to learn more about the people in them?  Decision-makers who analyze healthcare data have a habit of focusing on numbers, pouring over pages of claims and diagnostic codes.

AI in Healthcare Is Exciting, However, It Is No Reason to Overpay For It

Medsphere CEO Talks Affordable Healthcare IT and Future of EHRs

Eventually, many conversations about artificial intelligence (AI) include HAL. An acronym for Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer, HAL played a prominent and disconcerting role in Stanley Kubrick’s mind-bending 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the film, sentient computer HAL learns that the humans suspect it of being in error and will disconnect it should that error be confirmed. Of course, HAL is having none of that, and terror ensues. So influential was

Historically, security was tied to proximity and direct control, nowhere

Did EHRs Light the Physician Burnout Fuse?

by Christopher Maiona, M.D., SFHM, Chief Medical Officer of PatientKeeper 07/17/2019 Leave a Comment

When Will Health IT Become Part of the Solution (Rather than the Problem) for Physicians?

According to the American Medical Association, about 50 percent of practicing doctors are experiencing burnout and EHRs are a significant driver of this problem. For every hour physicians spend on direct patient care, the report indicates that they spend two hours on EHR data entry and other administrative tasks. All of this adds up to more time spent with computers than with patients. Organizational, regulatory, and technological factors are eroding many physicians’ passion for the profession,
