A Passionate Defense Of Scribes
1/23/2015
It is clear there is a major amount of tension around the cumbersome technology associated with most EHRs. Unfortunately, some are blaming the technology’s limitations on the ever-popular Medical Scribe. Many have gone as far as to insinuate the use of medical scribes is the reason why technology is not developing quickly to resolve EHR problems – this is like saying that citizens paying their taxes are to blame for the government not seeking to balance the budget and exercise appropriate fiscal control.

VNA: A Better Way To Archive
1/16/2015
Given today’s broad healthcare challenges, it’s hard to be neutral about Vendor Neutral Archiving (VNA). Given its ability to translate data to a standardized format and enable communication across disparate IT systems, hospital departments, and enterprises, the VNA addresses today’s most crucial healthcare issues – enabling patient data communication across the continuum of care, creating a more complete patient record, and supporting Meaningful Use. Moreover, after years of little control over PACS and other important data, a VNA puts providers back in the driver’s seat and relegates vendors a secondary position.

12/16/2014
Clinicians continue to face intensifying pressure from the growing number of tasks required in caring for patients. There is insufficient time to be confident that the care is comprehensive and adheres to contemporary standards. At the same time, studies evaluating clinical questions that arise in patient care have demonstrated that about two out of three patient encounters generate a question, of which only 40 percent are routinely answered. If all questions were answered, five to eight patient management decisions would be changed in each clinical session. By Denise S. Basow, M.D.

How to Approach Healthcare IT And Compliance: A Brief Tutorial On ISO 27799
12/16/2014
It’s been said time and again: healthcare regulations are a virtual alphabet/number soup. Entire books can be written about HIPAA regulations alone, so we’ll leave those aside for now. ISO 27001, ISO 27002, and ISO 27799 are only a few of the regulations required to protect individuals’ healthcare data. Noncompliance doesn’t only risk data loss, it also means you can incur large fines, individual, and class action lawsuits with massive punitive damages – and even be shut down.
