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.

Why HIPAA Compliance Does Not Equal Data Security8/9/2016
Many healthcare organizations structure cybersecurity efforts primarily around HIPAA compliance. Because penalties for noncompliance are so stiff, the healthcare industry focuses on HIPAA and is consequently lulled into compliance complacency. This is an erroneous belief that mere compliance inoculates them from every imaginable cyber threat. Unsurprisingly, healthcare has the dubious distinction of being the most likely industry to experience a data breach.

Big Data: The Right Prescription For Providers And Patients2/9/2016
Big Data, aka the biggest challenge facing organizations everywhere, isn’t going away anytime soon. According to IBM, every day we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data. To give you an idea of what that may look like, one terabyte alone is the equivalent of 4.5 million books — overwhelming to think about, especially for healthcare providers. From medical charts and prescriptions to financial and insurance information, patients generate a lot of data throughout their lifetimes. Some of that data is structured. However, even within sophisticated healthcare organizations, most of it — paper documents, ad hoc emails, data created through monitoring devices, for example — is not. As healthcare moves toward more of an evidence based model, data will play more of an instrumental role. Now more than ever, it’s important for healthcare providers to realize organizational success has less to do with how much data they gather and more to do with how data is utilized.
