How Comprehend PT Takes Clinical Notes Out of Physical Therapists ’ Hands
Physical therapists have unique needs for an ambient clinical voice solution. They are constantly walking about the floor, chatting with different patients and watching how many reps and sets they do. Comprehend PT uniquely meets the PT’s needs and allows the therapist to create notes in their particular tone and style just by speaking while they work. The inputs are called “mini brain dumps” by CEO Jake Michalski.
In this video, Michalski takes us in our imagination to a PT setting. The therapist carries a phone in their pocket, speaking whenever a patient completes an exercise. Both intakes (longer and ...

Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances Set to Take Off
This article explains the complexities that makes it so hard to implement electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS), summarizes the intended impacts of the bills, and introduces Imprivata digital identity technology, which has been used in health care for such purposes for many years.
Calling the Cops
Health care advocates and reformers can show off plenty of war stories and wounds just from dealing with regulations and bureaucracies in health care. When it comes to controlled substances, toss in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for extra suspense. State governments are also roped in thanks to thei...

Sunoh ’ s Ambient Clinical Voice Automates Clinician Note Creation
According to Saurabh Singh, VP of Sunoh, the success of ambient clinical voice depends on much more than the accuracy of the recording. Sunoh “checks the boxes” when it comes to meeting the needs of physicians’ workflows and differences.
Sunoh’s solution can take input from many different sources: mobile devices, and laptop or desktop computers. This makes it easy to deploy in different rooms and settings.
At the end of a clinical session, Sunoh generates a structured note tailored to the EHR within 30 to 60 seconds. Note generation is fully automated. The doctor can edit the note manually or using ...

Is the Future of Healthcare Modular?
When most of us think of modular buildings, we picture those trailer-like structures on construction sites – the ones with panel walls and the electrical wire that dangles outside. Modern modular buildings are a far cry from those flimsy seventies-era trailers.
Modern modular buildings are marvels of technology and engineering. To learn more, Healthcare IT Today went to visit Fero International, a company that fabricates advanced modular buildings for the healthcare, education and municipal markets. We sat down with Fero’s CEO, Sabrina Fiorellino to learn more.

Smart Hospital Solutions from Artisight
Stephanie Lahr, MD, CHCIO and president of Artisight, envisions a future where every hospital room hosts a camera and speaker in order to support two-way video. Hospitals are using Artisight’s capabilities for remote support of nurses, but they are expanding to other disciplines as well.
When you leverage nurses at the bedside and others watching over video, each can focus on different aspects of care. The physically present nurse has more time to spend with the patient. Although this practice may seem like it requires more staff, Lahr says they’ve found that splitting the work saves time.
Virtual nurses can al...

In Health Care, AI to Advance Rapidly Along With Its Regulation
This far-ranging video examines the current uses and future prospects for AI through the eyes of two experts from UST: Adnan Masood, PhD, Chief AI Architect, and Anand Nair, Head of Healthcare Payer.
Masood pointed out that there is little point to regulating research and development in AI, because the rules tend to miss the point and impose unnecessary burdens. However, regulating the application of AI is useful, and Masood would like to see more of it. Singapore has led the way with regulation, and the EU is “moving fast.”
He mentioned positively a recent AI risk management framework (RMF) from NIST as a ste...
