HTO Robot Nurse Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?

Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data. By Khal Rai, Senior Vice President, Product Development & Operations, SRS Health

  • Consistent Communication Helps Providers Deliver Better Healthcare Experiences
    3/14/2019

    Imagine your healthcare organization is a person; what kind of person is it? Is it a caring friend who sends you text messages, checks in with you to see how you are doing and invites you to get together? Or, is your organization the friend who you appreciate seeing in person, but who you don’t hear from for long periods of time and you only get to see when you reach out and coordinate plans?

  • Vendor Neutral Archives And The Public Cloud – Today's Cure For The Healthcare Industry's Data “Super-Bug”
    8/13/2018

    Continuous advances in technology, from diagnostic imaging to payer-provider tracking and analytics software, are a boon for healthcare organizations and the patients they serve. Yet, the exponential explosion in data management and storage requirements that follow can cause quite a headache for the IT department. Add to that, ever-changing and increasingly stringent compliance regulations and you can easily understand why data management and storage has become a “super-bug” in many healthcare organizations.

  • The Great Promise - A Look Ahead To Effective Health Information Exchange
    2/22/2010
    Health information technology and the exchange of health information are critical to next steps in improving healthcare quality, increasing the efficiency of care, and developing expanded, more consistent access. Indeed, almost all of the envisioned benefits of health information technology are dependent in one way or another on the electronic exchange of information that is now done by phone, with paper or fax, or not done at all. The advent of electronic health records and electronic information exchange offers great promise, but also come with great challenges for information security and existing work processes. It is critical to set a long-term vision that ultimately improves health outcomes and incrementally proves that the value of health IT is tangible and worth ongoing investments.

  • Tech, Personalized Care, And Population Health Brighten The Future For Diabetes Patients
    1/22/2020

    Nearly 30 million Americans are diabetic, and up to 90 percent of them have Type 2 diabetes. According to the NIH, the cost of treating and managing the disease reached $408 billion in 2015 and could expand to $622 billion by 2030. Although this trend is concerning, there’s hope: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported a 35 percent drop in newly diagnosed diabetes cases since 2009 and a long-running plateau in the number of existing cases. Any decline is encouraging, but the public health initiatives helping to stem the tide ultimately won’t be enough to make a lasting impact on the lives of diabetic patients.
