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

    4/22/2019

    As a high-priority target for bad actors, healthcare providers must constantly analyze and assess their own security posture and that of their business associates. Three steps healthcare organizations should consider when working with a third-party technology vendor or provider partner are: administer due diligence, standardize policies, and form a collaborative culture.

  • How Location Data Can Aid The Fight Against COVID-19
    4/21/2020

    The effects of COVID-19 have rapidly spread across the globe – testing the limits of both the population and the public health sector. High in-demand medical services are countered by disruptions in daily operations as hospitals struggle to function in the face of overcapacity, understaffing, and information deficits. However, efforts to curb the outbreak have been in effect as public health experts look to location data as a means of alleviating the pressure on our already overwhelmed healthcare systems.

  • How Mobile Technology Is Giving The Healthcare Industry A Renewed Focus On Patient Engagement
    3/10/2016

    With a recent PEW study citing 64 percent of American adults have a smartphone and 50 percent of American adults have an internet connected tablet, it is clear mobile technologies have widespread influence. A number of customer-centric industries including retail, hospitality, and transportation are beginning to leverage the power of mobile consumer engagement, and one of the biggest industries also feeling the effects of a more mobile society is healthcare.

    Data from both traditional health sources and non-medical sources, wrapped in analytics, can offer a unique view of individuals as they engage various stakeholders throughout the healthcare system.

  • Compliance, Data, And Success In A Complex CIN/ACO World
    3/29/2019

    As CINs/ACOs expand as a strategy for value-based care, these organizations depend ever more heavily on data – and the expertise to gather, manage and use it – to achieve success. Part 1 of this two-part series, Knock Down Barriers and Achieve CIN/ACO Success, detailed the significant data challenges for integrated delivery systems that include separately owned legal entities. Part 2 outlines how health systems with an owned ACO/CIN provide the usable data, clinical support, proof of compliance, and strategic guidance required for an unwavering focus on care quality and patient experience. While simple to say, only the select few have mastered providing the right care in the right place at the right time – the holy grail for delivering high quality care at lower cost.

  • Higher Education Should Be Enlisted To Defend Patients Against Looming Cyber Threats
    12/29/2015

    In his comments to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions in September 2015, Brian Dishman of Intel Corporation described the “constellation” of health data that surrounds each of us. From diagnostic, to consumer-generated, to genomic data, the potential is limitless. But, he warned, without secure and timely access to that data, we are missing the transformative opportunity to improve health outcomes for patients. Dishman’s comments were born of experience. A cancer survivor of more than two decades, his treatment was riddled by miscommunication between practitioners and lack of collaboration across health systems. Put simply, for more than 20 years he was subjected to what has become a garish, nationwide reality: American healthcare organizations are suffering from a fundamental inability to process and disseminate health data in a secure and expedient way to both consumers and providers.
