• 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.

• Mobility Delivers Powerful Possibilities

  10/31/2014

  As the computer form factor shrank from the size of a room to a laptop, computing mobility finally became a reality. For over a decade, the laptop continued to shrink while increasing in performance and lowering in price. Mobility became synonymous with portability. However, with the advent of the smart phone, mobility now transcends a single product category and has morphed into an experience. Over a short five years, mobility has become synonymous with easy, convenient, enabling, engaging, meaningful, connected, and accessible. Mobility is no longer a material thing, but rather it’s the picture of a three-year-old playing their favorite game on their tablet while at their brother’s soccer game. It’s taking a spontaneous video of our kids playing in the pool and sharing it with their cousins in Europe. Mobility is an experience that fits naturally into our daily lives while delivering powerful, improved possibilities – PeriOperative Medicine is no exception.

• 5 Value-Based Care RCM Survival Strategies

  6/3/2015

  With the imminent arrival of value-based reimbursement, the days of billing inefficiencies are officially history. But where can practices find more opportunities for savings? Operating margins are already razor thin and many physicians are taking reductions in salary just to keep their practices open. As it happens, most practices leave up to 30 percent of their potential revenue on the table every year according to statistics from the Medical Group Management Association – and much of it can be recouped.

• In The Pursuit Of Health, Community Will See Us Through

  11/16/2020

  Our society functions on the foundation of numerous social contracts: public education, civil liberties, fair taxes, criminal justice. The crises of this year have tested America’s social contracts in unprecedented ways and brought our nation to a time that will someday be reflected upon as a turning point. Yet our healthcare system, the importance of which we are now starkly reminded daily, persists outside the bounds of our social contracts—not fully embraced as a collective pursuit. Healthcare in America continues to be largely viewed as an institution citizens engage with on a very individualized level. We now face an opportunity to embrace a new take and work as a team to save lives.

• EDI Test Automation In Healthcare

  11/12/2015

  I have experienced many complicated problems needing to be solved throughout my career as a software testing engineer. There are always more bugs to find, more software to break, and more tools to learn. However, one of my greatest accomplishments has been in developing, building, and executing a KDT framework to enable test automation in healthcare. Basically, the company functions as a go-between for healthcare providers and payers, processing transactions and claims for each at a lower price. Because they provide this service for many different providers and payers, there are many different file formats and types needing to be configured and tested. By Daniel Schwartz, content strategist
