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.

For Hospitals, Predictive Analytics Is A Necessity, Not A Luxury11/10/2017
When thinking about the business value of predictive analytics, hospitals often view it as an evolutionary technology and look for things like use cases, accuracy, cost, and return on investment. While those are all valid points to consider, a better way to look at it is to focus on what truly matters for patients and caregivers, work backwards, and explore how predictive analytics can make them better. Having worked with dozens of hospitals, I can tell you that — when viewed from this perspective — the answer is predictive analytics is a necessity, not a luxury.

Patients Are Paying The Price For Health IT's Stumbles5/11/2016
While the HITECH Act of 2009 — part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) economic stimulus bill — put much-needed emphasis on healthcare, particularly the role information technology (IT) should play in it, the reality is we have been left with a promise unfulfilled. Today, doctors are less productive than they were before, and IT is the culprit. Rather than enabling a better, more streamlined workflow, IT has become a burden.

First We Fix The Data, Then We Make It Work For Us5/13/2016
The healthcare industry amasses a tremendous amount of clinical data from which it gets far less value than it should. One issue is the lack of consistent, or perhaps I should say persistent, data stewardship with many errors and omissions negatively impacting clinicians. A second issue is a failure to put clinical data to work in meaningful ways, including the identification of trends and patterns (your most at-risk patients), or — at a much higher system level — reducing network leakage and creating effective measurement initiatives. Addressing these issues will be essential to achieving meaningful progress toward healthcare industry goals — and it’s really not as difficult as it seems.
