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

  • How To Improve Healthcare Operational Efficiency Through Lean Principles And Predictive Analytics
    8/17/2018

    Operational dilemmas are experienced in all industries. Airlines, for example, are arguably more operationally complex, asset-intensive and regulated than hospitals, yet the best performers are doing a far better job than most hospitals at keeping costs low and make a decent profit while delivering what their customers expect. Southwest Airlines, for example, has figured out how to excel at the two operational things that matter most: Keep more planes in the sky more often, and fill each of them with more passengers and more often than anyone else. Similarly, winners in other complex, asset-intensive, service-based industries — Amazon, UPS and FedEx — have figured out how to over deliver on their promise while staying streamlined and cost-effective.

Beyond the security of the device itself (which is a significant issue in its own right), there’s a very real risk of third-party apps secretly accessing corporate data. In some cases, the app is a legitimate service gathering user data on the side for their own marketing purposes or to sell. Alternatively, many malicious apps will mimic real ones to trick users into downloading spyware and adware to steal passwords or financial information.
