The Importance of Patient Portal Usability
The following is a guest article by Dr. Bruce Bassi, Advisory Board Member at CharmHealth
Most patients have almost certainly received an invitation to join their electronic medical record communication system, or portal for their particular doctor’s office. Clinicians have their own opinions about medical record systems, but what about patients?
Typically, users log into their portal with one specific purpose, then log off, and do not wish to spend too much time engaging in a health portal system. If the system is too cumbersome or difficult to use, it would reduce engagement and not achieve its intended purpose. The pr...

Addressing Patient Burnout With Digital Transformation
The following is a guest article by Jim Tyrrell, Vice President of Enterprise Product Management at TNS
COVID-19 didn’t spawn patient dissatisfaction, but the pandemic did accelerate it. In 2022, only 12% of US adults surveyed said healthcare was handled ‘extremely’ or ‘very’ well.
Patient care frustration can pose very real financial risks for healthcare brands: satisfied patients are 28% less likely to switch providers, highlighting the importance of addressing their needs to improve patient retention. Post-pandemic patient frustration can be traced to multiple factors, chief among them the blunt reality that A...

AWS and 3M Join Forces to Automate Clinical Note Creation
We recently noted the announcement of Amazon’s AWS HealthScribe with 3M as a partner that’s leveraging the solution. The combination of these two companies was extremely interesting to me since you may recall that 3M acquired a company called M*Modal which has been working in the voice recognition space for a while. I figured it was only a matter of time before 3M came out with their own ambient clinical voice solution to compete with Nuance’s DAX solutions, Ambience Healthcare, Suki, and OnPoint Healthcare Partners to name a few.
To learn more about this announcement we sat down with two leaders at 3...
