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

  • Mastering The Item Master – Data Governance In Healthcare
    5/2/2019

    Value-based care places many demands on health systems, most notably the importance of having a data governance strategy. Your data governance strategy should include data sources used by the EMR/EHR, ERP, MMIS, and financials systems. In many healthcare settings, the facility’s MMIS Item Master is the common data source used throughout the facilities systems and business processes, thus putting incredible pressure on the item master to be as accurate as possible. Vizient research shows that roughly 30 percent of the average item master contains bad data. (Vizient, 2018) As inferred above, the item master can impact multiple areas within a hospital. Areas most affected include purchasing, inventory management, clinical decision support, quality management, surgical supply documentation, value analysis, EMR documentation and third-party reimbursements to name a few, are all effected by the data you populate in the item master.
