All-in-One Medical Graphic Stations and Tablets from DT Research
At the HIMSS conference, one of the most interesting technologies we saw was the wide variety of high end, computers, tablets, and monitors that were made available. In many surgeries, they need a solution that provides them the high end graphics and computing that’s needed to ensure they can precisely see what’s happening with the surgery.
At the conference, we had a chance to learn about some of these products from Robert Droppa, General Manager, Government & Healthcare Solutions at DT Research. Along with offering purpose built tablets and monitors for healthcare, Droppa talked to us about the DT Re...

Uncovering Diagnostic Information in the EHR with Regard
When doctors first see output from Regard’s AI analytics, they often say, “This is what I imagined the electronic medical record would be like when I heard about it for the first time.” Regard scans the patient’s medical records to find buried data that might be relevant to current treatment, and prepares a doctor’s note with that information.
According to Eli Ben-Joseph, CEO and co-founder at Regard, their tool “amplifies and empowers doctors and nurses who use it to be the best they can be.”
Regard is also dedicated to reducing the administrative burden on clinicians, where so ma...

Moving the Industry Forward with First-Of-Its-Kind RCM Technology Adoption Model for Healthcare Finance Leaders
An adoption model methodology is nothing new in the healthcare industry. HIMSS, for example, built their Healthcare Maturity Models to provide clear adoption and implementation pathways for various technologies and capabilities that health systems need. What the market had been lacking, however, is a tried-and-true framework that could address the revenue cycle management needs of healthcare finance leaders.
Adoption models, which are very popular in computing and organizational change, define stages for the adoption of a process or technology and helps organizations determine which stage they’re at: piloting, early adop...

A Look at the Nobi Smart Lamp
One of the cool products we saw a demo of at the HIMSS conference this year was the Nobi smart lamp. Roeland Pelgrims, CEO at Nobi, took the time to demo the smart lamp to us and tell us more about what makes the Nobi smart lamp special.
Pelgrims shared that the goal of Nobi is to empower older adults. That’s why they believed that smart technologies like the Nobi smart lamp must be hidden and designed for life. He suggested that Nobi is “Clark Kent” 99% of the time and only has to be “Superman” 1% of the time.
What helps Nobi be superman is its ability to do fall detection, fall preve...

Neurotech, neuroethics and brain data in context: Are “neurorights” the way to mental privacy?
This article was originally published on The Conversation.
To Learn More:
Brain Data in Context: Are New Rights the Way to Mental and Brain Privacy? (AJOB Neuroscience). From the Abstract:
The potential to collect brain data more directly, with higher resolution, and in greater amounts has heightened worries about mental and brain privacy … To better understand the privacy stakes of brain data, we suggest the use of a conceptual framework from information ethics, Helen Nissenbaum’s “contextual integrity” theory. To illustrate the importance of context, we examine neurotechnologies and the information flows th...

Leveraging Great People and AI to Improve Revenue Cycle Outcomes
When TruBridge, a revenue cycle division of CPSI, decided to automate more of their operations, they didn’t just ask managers to choose. They brought all their employees together in a “dream factory” to make and vote on suggestions. They got 250 from the staff, who then got to choose which ones they wanted to implement.
In this video, General Manager Pat Murphy describes how TruBridge benefits from its “people-first culture” and how it uses AI, particularly to avoid claims denials. Payer denials are increasing heavily, as many of us know from being patients. It doesn’t really matter whet...

MRO Satisfies Payer Medical Record Requests Automatically
Requests for medical records have grown enormously in recent years—and that’s as it should be. Because data allows for better decision-making, patient records are being requested by payers, communities of care, and patients themselves. However, this can sometimes be overwhelming for healthcare provider organizations that are now getting larger and larger volumes of requests from payers which inundate their systems.
We recently sat down with Mo Weitnauer, Chief Product Officer at MRO, to talk about their newly announced Payer Exchange product which implements near-frictionless interoperability for payer exchange. ...
