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

  • Failings Of A Patient Portal
    8/12/2015

    Many practices have integrated patient portals into their practices over the past few years, and many others plan on doing the same in the future. I love the idea of a patient portal and have had one for over a year. The ability of a patient to send messages across a secure line is essential, especially for those who wish to remain HIPAA compliant. For patients, the portal is a great tool because they can schedule appointments and request refills without having to call in. In my practice, anyone who calls speaks to a live person but in some practices, navigating their phone trees can be a daunting task. It seems intuitive that all doctors and patients would want to utilize a patient portal. By Linda M. Girgis, MD, FAAFP
