  • National Health IT Week: Streamlining Patient Care by Minimizing Alarm Fatigue
    10/5/2015

    National Health IT Week is about recognizing the ways delivery of care is changing. Healthcare is in a period of transition that is changing how care is delivered. Health information is shared, quality is measured, reimbursements are dispersed, and patients are becoming engaged in their own. Today’s technology is advancing quickly and is a reliable tool to support these changes and advancements. Nurses are at the forefront of transforming care with increased responsibility placed on them to achieve better patient outcomes. As nurses balance delivering care at more reasonable costs with providing chronic care management to an aging, sicker, and more diverse population, supporting technology must be finely tuned to meet their needs.

    12/12/2014

    For the last four to five years, we have been blogging about the importance and details of proper security in your healthcare IT environment. We have been “preaching” the message of diligence and attention to detail as it relates to HIPAA and HITECH. Articles have started to shine a light on the realities of security risk in our healthcare IT environments. This is no longer a HIPAA compliance project where we check a few boxes, update a policy book, do some DVD based training, and expect that we have covered ourselves for the next audit. These risks are real and they can be extremely damaging to an organization if not kept in check.

So how can our country accommodate an influx 32 million newly insured patients under healthcare reform when the system is already overburdened?
