As healthcare organizations make progress on their way to the digital transformation of healthcare, choosing a health cloud vendor to support and enable that work should not be taken lightly.
With the election of Republican Donald Trump to the presidency last week, the future of all kinds of healthcare reform is uncertain.
The progress in artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping patient care, across various dimensions, from facilitating faster discharge to curating treatment plans and suggesting lifestyle changes.
Even as healthcare organizations struggle first to embrace and ultimately achieve interoperability of patient data, they need to start thinking about what do with the information once they're able to move it around securely. That means learning how to develop longitudinal coordinated care plans, according to Chilmark Research.
Despite all the talk of interoperability among policy-makers, providers and even technology vendors, today's crop of electronic health records will continue to be "fortress" applications that hinder information sharing until incentives change and, perhaps most importantly, end users demand interoperable systems, according to a new Chilmark Research report.
Chilmark Research analyst Brian Murphy doesn't want HIPAA to die as much as he does the complex web of federal and state healthcare regulations for privacy and security, reimbursement, nurse staffing levels, telemedicine, physician credentialing and other issues.
