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

  • What Is Blockchain And How Can It Be Used In Healthcare?
    4/26/2018

    Blockchain technology started as the basis for Bitcoin that allowed the cryptocurrency to operate but now it has spread to various other industries as well like healthcare. Blockchain systems are actually decentralised distributed ledger systems created by app Development Company that record transactions on blocks that are linked together and store them on an encrypted digital ledger. Since the entire blockchain system is decentralised it has no one central administrator which imparts the system extreme security because records are spread across a network of replicated databases that are always in sync. All entries in a blockchain system are time and date stamped that can only be accessed and updated by authorised users.

  • Is Your Hospital Ready For Hurricane Season? How To Prepare For It With Disaster Recovery Planning
    9/27/2018

    While it may be hard to believe, we are already about three months into hurricane season. Last year, the U.S. had one of the costliest years to date, with Hurricane Harvey’s damage estimated to be at $125 billion and Irma’s at around $100 billion. The devastation that occurred last year brings light to the fact that it is critical for hospitals and healthcare organizations to guarantee services that will protect both the patient and their information if a disaster does strike. Now more than ever, hospitals and healthcare organizations need a disaster recovery and business continuity plan in place.

    6/20/2016

    Statistics show the average Medicare beneficiary with two or more chronic conditions sees between five and seven different healthcare providers on a consistent basis.

  • Eliminating The Vulnerabilities Of Connected Medical Devices
    2/10/2020

    In May 2019 an FDA safety warning about unauthorized automated insulin dosing systems highlighted a major vulnerability that is present in all connected medical devices. A flaw in an FDA-authorized insulin pump had enabled it to be re-programmed for use with an unauthorized device to create a customized treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Cybercriminals can exploit this same type of flaw to hijack these and other connected medical devices, access their data and alter health monitoring and other operations. The same vulnerability can be exploited to introduce counterfeit devices and associated consumables into the market.

  • Leveraging PRM Systems To Get Real Results From Physician Relationship Management Programs
    6/29/2016

    Hospitals and health systems often use physician liaisons to strengthen the ties that bond. Part salesperson, part customer service agent, and part consultant — physician liaisons are charged, in part with establishing and maintaining good relations with the cadre of physicians working in their communities. As such, these liaisons often visit with physicians to provide updates on hospital services and to ensure they are satisfied with the hospital’s level of service. It’s part of a strategy that goes a long way in not only keeping physicians happy with the hospital or health system; it also leads to business growth.
