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.

Big Data: The Right Prescription For Providers And Patients2/9/2016
Big Data, aka the biggest challenge facing organizations everywhere, isn’t going away anytime soon. According to IBM, every day we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data. To give you an idea of what that may look like, one terabyte alone is the equivalent of 4.5 million books — overwhelming to think about, especially for healthcare providers. From medical charts and prescriptions to financial and insurance information, patients generate a lot of data throughout their lifetimes. Some of that data is structured. However, even within sophisticated healthcare organizations, most of it — paper documents, ad hoc emails, data created through monitoring devices, for example — is not. As healthcare moves toward more of an evidence based model, data will play more of an instrumental role. Now more than ever, it’s important for healthcare providers to realize organizational success has less to do with how much data they gather and more to do with how data is utilized. By Andre Vandenberk, VP of Product Management and Lori Frampton, VP of Patient Flow Process Improvement & Data Analysis both of Medworxx, an Aptean Company

Survey Says … Healthcare Providers Should Focus On The Patient Experience3/1/2018
Not too long ago, patients did not have many choices when they needed to see a healthcare professional. There may not have been many options for covered practices close by, and patients tended to find a provider and stick with them forever. That’s not true anymore. Patients have easy access to all kinds of providers, right from their smart phone. If they aren’t happy with a particular practice, it takes little effort to find a new provider (or walk-in clinic or urgent care).
