    A survey by Compdata validates what healthcare organizations are experiencing everyday: one of the highest employee turnover rates in an overall job market whose turnover rate is going up every year. The 2018 survey shows healthcare at a total turnover rate of 20.4 percent, bracketed by hospitality, at 31.8 percent and manufacturing and distribution at 20 percent. The implications are clear for healthcare IT and security professionals – a significant part of their job is onboarding new personnel, revising access as personnel change roles, and securely offboarding employees to guard against risk.

    Today’s new healthcare technologies are purposely built to integrate with EHR systems to unlock the treasure trove of data and patient insight that sits within them to make healthcare faster, smarter and more effective. The goal of EHR-integrated solutions is to improve patient care and to help ease the burden of physicians, who already feel like they spend way too much time in front of a computer screen. As it stands, seven out of 10 primary care doctors believe EHRs contribute to physician burnout and cut into valuable time they can spend with patients.

94. Push The Boundaries Of Treatment Options With EHRs & Data Infrastructure 6/4/2015

    It’s pretty safe to say that effective and efficient systems which share comprehensive data improves patient safety, saves lives, and improves health outcomes across the continuum of care. But I observe the greatest impact EHRs – and healthcare technology in general – are having in the wider industry is in the area of chronic disease management and treatment.

    Technology is taking the healthcare industry by storm. New advancements in the way providers reach patients, the widespread adoption of wearable technology, and the increase in mobile apps have all caused a dramatic shift in how healthcare providers interact with consumers. As such, it is even more pertinent that providers adopt a more digital approach when it comes to reaching users. Today’s consumer lives online, making it critical to engage consumers at multiple digital touchpoints – websites, blogs, mobile, email, etc. – to capture their attention and generate quality leads that will ultimately end in a sale.

96. Healthcare Providers, ROI Reality 3/1/2016

    In 2006, HealthMark revolutionized the ROI industry by developing proprietary software MedRelease that is employed through three unique delivery models; full, remote, and shared service options, all at no cost to the healthcare facility.

97. The Healthcare Information Revolution 2/22/2019

    Healthcare always has been at the forefront of technology adoption, whether that be biological (e.g., antibiotics) or mechanical (e.g., artificial hearts). But other than tracking patient records and schedules, information technology has not played a significant role in affecting the quality of care. That's all about to change.

98. 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
