Rural America ’ s health care crisis: Unmasking the physician shortage epidemic

Letting AI Physicians Into the Guild
BY KIM BELLARD
Let’s be honest: we’re going to have AI physicians.
Now, that prediction comes with a few caveats. It’s not going to be this year, and maybe not even in this decade. We may not call them “physicians,” but, rather, may think of them as a new category entirely. AI will almost certainly first follow its current path of become assistive technology, for human clinicians and even patients. We’re going to continue to struggle to fit them into existing regulatory boxes, like clinical decision support software or medical devices, until those boxes prove to be the wrong shape and size for ho...

What Would John Henry Rauch Do Today As A HIT Entrepreneur?
BY MIKE MAGEE
Health entrepreneurs today tend to give themselves very high grades, and seem surprised when their creations fall short of expectations due to a disconnect with funders or regulators with legal authority. But Medicine isn’t fair, and genius is not that common.
What other conclusion can you draw from the thousands of references and citations featuring Philadelphia physician Benjamin Rush and his wild ideas on how to heroically treat Yellow Fever in 1793, but likely never heard of Dr. John Henry Rauch. The former signed the Declaration of Independence but directly or indirectly contributed to many an un...

Patient empowerment: the key to solving the health care crisis
A sobering study by the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) predicts an unthinkable shortage of between 37,800 and 124,000 doctors by 2034. If underserved populations had fewer barriers to medical care, that shortfall could reach over 180,000! Successfully navigating these uncharted waters will require strategic planning and innovation. Even the current state is so

Unlocking the Future of Health —and Care—with AI
The following is a guest article by Jonathan Jesneck, Co-Founder and CTO at Firefly Lab.
Unlocking the future of healthcare with Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a hot topic amongst tech and medical professionals alike.

Now, AI is effective across the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. The benefits are already being felt by many: 92% of healthcare institutes and professionals say they performed better as a ...

10 Healthcare Organizations Ask HHS to Postpone Information Blocking Deadline
If you’re familiar with the 21st Century Cures Act, then you know that October 6th is a major deadline that requires healthcare providers, health IT developers, HIEs, HINs, and others to share all ePHI (electronic protected health information) in the DRS (Designated Record Set). This is a big change from the requirement to share USCDI. While we’ve known about this deadline for years, it’s not too surprising that many healthcare organizations aren’t ready for it.
Given this reality, 10 healthcare organizations have sent a combined letter to HHS asking for a 1 year delay for this deadline. Here ...
