Former U.S. CTO Aneesh Chopra will moderate a webinar on April 16 at 1pm ET on eConsent and interoperability with DocuSign, Velatura, Mid-State Health Network and Southwest Michigan Behavioral Health.
The lack of adoption of interoperability tools by healthcare providers is a complex issue that requires a multi-faceted approach
The always-on, connected health system is not a distant moonshot, but today’s reality.
As the healthcare industry grapples with various challenges, from workforce shortages to complex coding intricacies, embracing AI can empower revenue cycle professionals to envision a future with reduced denials, optimized revenue, and fortified financial health.
Provider network teams need a better way to streamline healthcare delivery and amplify provider satisfaction. Unlocking value with provider network operations means a forward-looking, fresh approach and the right tools that deliver in four essential areas:
Jill DeGraff, B.well Connected Health’s senior vice president of regulatory, believes the ONC’s new HTI-1 rule is a step in the right direction that will improve data exchange for providers, health tech vendors and patients. She applauded the rule for preserving TEFCA as a voluntary framework and for establishing FHIR-based interoperability as the industry’s de facto standard.
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
Right-now value could come from extractive AI, a tool that gives organizations the power to put even handwritten text sent via images or PDF by digital fax into a structured data play.
Last week, the ONC announced that TEFCA had finally gone live. This followed years of the ONC heralding the project's potential to boost interoperability and increase patients’ access to their healthcare data. However, former ONC Chief Don Rucker believes that TEFCA is built on an archaic data exchange protocol that will prevent the initiative from being useful.
TEFCA’s goal is to establish a universal floor for interoperability across the country by developing the infrastructure model and governing approach for users in different networks to securely share basic clinical information with each other.
The healthcare industry must prioritize the development and implementation of universal tools that can efficiently navigate, interpret, and derive value from the growing wealth of health data.
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
Beginning September 1, HHS’ Office of the Inspector General will begin enforcing the anti-information blocking regulations laid out in the 21st Century Cures Act. EHR vendors are the entities that are most at risk of being fined — they could face penalties up to $1 million.
Public health is heavily dependent on collecting and sharing accurate patient data. Standards for data collection and interoperability can move the needle toward better health data, but it is up to healthcare organizations to take ownership of their data quality by following best practices and adopting technologies that can detect and eliminate bad patient data before it is disseminated.
A webinar sponsored by Intelligent Medical Objects April 11 will explore how payers are meeting the needs of the 2016 21st Century Cures Act when it comes to providing unfettered access to structured medical data for members.
Sandy Vance, HLTH’s senior adviser, Interoperability, offered a preview of the interoperability pavilion at ViVE and what she hopes to achieve at the conference this year.
Panelists at a recent healthcare conference expressed optimism about the automation technology that health plans, pharmacy benefit managers and providers can adopt to facilitate real-time data sharing. They said that such technology has potential to improve medication adherence, reduce costs and save time for both providers and payers.
