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

    10/16/2018

    As Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) take on more risk under the new Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), they must provide quality care while generating cost savings. This challenge is especially pronounced within the fast-growing senior population, the group most likely to experience a serious or advanced illness and who often need extensive healthcare services.

  • How To Bridge The Gap Between Healthcare Data Silos
    5/3/2019

    The patient journey looks much different today than it did several years ago. From diagnosis to treatment, most patients have many more stops along the way than ever before. They might visit a physician, diagnostic imaging center, hospital, outpatient rehab therapist, and the list goes on, before their care plan is complete. At each point, a patient generates a health record that becomes an imperative piece of his/her healthcare puzzle. And that data has to be accessible and exchangeable across their journey to ensure the best possible outcomes. At least, that’s the goal.

    Artificial intelligence has enormous potential for disruption in many fields, particularly healthcare. Indeed, given the industry's complexity, scale, and runaway costs, AI presents an especially enticing opportunity.
