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

  • ML For Healthcare As A Requisite To Responsible Patient Care
    3/12/2019

    Big data has long since arrived in the healthcare provider industry. We live in a world where remote patient monitoring devices can generate hundreds of blood pressure readings per day, where every supply is tracked down to a strip of gauze, and millions of radiology images may reside within a single EHR server. But along with these piles of data come clinicians and analysts charged with sifting through them, and the herculean task of providing actionable insight.

  • Healthcare Interoperability: A Must To Revolutionize Value-Based Care
    12/7/2017

    I’m sure I’m not the only one who lost count of the times I’ve been asked, “Why can’t the systems talk to each other?” or, in more technical terms, “Why don’t we have interoperability?”

  • The Role Of Social Determinants In Influencing Population Health
    7/8/2019

    While we’re starting to see some recognition of the role that social determinants play in contributing toward health and wellbeing, the influence and impact of factors such as health behaviors, food supply, housing, financial situation, access to healthcare and social relationships on overall health have so far been greatly underestimated. We are complex and our health reflects this complexity. Including social determinants in health evaluations holds great promise not only for patients and broader population groups, but for healthcare providers and health systems overall.

  • Wearable Technology Can Enhance Long Term Patient Care

    Wearable technologies have been widely adopted by consumers to measure and track aspects of health. Bracelets can track steps and calorie burn; clothing can measure heart rate and VO2 levels. By Chris Holbert, CEO, SecuraTrac

  • Why HIT Is Important For Fighting The Opioid Crisis
    4/26/2019

    The opioid crisis is a widespread problem in the United States and elsewhere. However, HIT is helping us make strides toward conquering it.

  • Why The Movement Toward Ubiquitous Interoperability Should Concern Physicians
    12/4/2018

    Given the potential of total interoperability, our excitement is understandable. Many believe the establishment of a national registry for the purposes of data exchange should be the healthcare industry’s ultimate goal, especially as we shift toward value-based care. Unfortunately, the reality is that total, ubiquitous interoperability within the context of a shared, national data registry is likely to fall short of these utopic visions and could even be harmful to independent HIT vendors and physician practices.
