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

  • Preventing Email Data Breaches In Healthcare
    7/23/2018

    You don’t have to be a cybersecurity expert to know that data breaches are an all too common occurrence in healthcare. According to the 2018 Data Breach Investigations Report by Verizon, healthcare suffered more breaches than any other industry in 2017, accounting for almost a quarter of all breaches investigated during that period. Consequently, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI) were the most common types of data compromised overall, more so than banking and payment card details.

  • 2018: The Year Of Machine Learning And AI In Healthcare

    Companies, venture capitalists and accelerators like Y Combinator are investing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. There are large investments into deep learning from many different industries, such as the development of self-driving cars. If you think about AI and how it will help the healthcare industry, it makes a lot of sense. There are only so many physicians per person in the world and having some assistance can bring down the cost of healthcare and help patients at their time of need.

  • 4 Ways Identity And Access Management (IAM) Solutions Can Benefit Healthcare Organizations
    3/2/2020

  • Higher Education Should Be Enlisted To Defend Patients Against Looming Cyber Threats
    12/29/2015

    In his comments to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions in September 2015, Brian Dishman of Intel Corporation described the “constellation” of health data that surrounds each of us. From diagnostic, to consumer-generated, to genomic data, the potential is limitless. But, he warned, without secure and timely access to that data, we are missing the transformative opportunity to improve health outcomes for patients. Dishman’s comments were born of experience. A cancer survivor of more than two decades, his treatment was riddled by miscommunication between practitioners and lack of collaboration across health systems. Put simply, for more than 20 years he was subjected to what has become a garish, nationwide reality: American healthcare organizations are suffering from a fundamental inability to process and disseminate health data in a secure and expedient way to both consumers and providers.
