Outsourcing Clinical Notes to an Expert-Machine Collaboration Using Ambient Clinical Voice
OnPoint Healthcare Partners is the latest ambient clinical voice technology we’ve found that combines expert human authors with AI to take one of the annoying burdens off doctors: writing clinical notes. According to President and CEO Jim Boswell, information is captured from the doctor/patient interaction, uploaded securely to their cloud services, and processed by a team from around the world to generate notes in a time ranging from less than an hour to next-morning delivery. Quick turn-around, according to Boswell, is particularly important for in-patient settings, but this isn’t as true in most ambulatory p...

Is AI Eating Healthcare? – Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 115
For the 115th episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we are talking about the ever growing presence of AI in healthcare! To kick us off, we begin by discussing why we think AI is such a big topic and the goal of AI at this current moment. Next, we share the most exciting things we have seen AI doing in healthcare.

AI in Healthcare and Life Sciences: Further Adoption Requires Better Data Infrastructure
The following is a guest article by Jon Kimerle, Global Strategic Healthcare Alliances at Pure Storage
The digital transformation of healthcare continues to accelerate, and technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) are predicted to have an increasing impact on efficiency, quality, and scalability of health outcomes.
At present, AI is already driving high-quality, predictive patient care and better outcomes by making connections humans can’t, adding context, and unearthing new insights. The data generated by AI can facilitate early disease detection, personalized medications and care, the prevention of diagnostic...

Happy Memorial Day!!
Happy Memorial Day to all of you! At Healthcare IT Today we decided to take the day off from our regularly scheduled content to celebrate the national holiday in the US. We hope you were able to do the same and enjoy time with your family.
It’s really interesting to think about family and how many people through the years have an impact on your life today. I’m part of a family history site which recently sent me an email saying that 35 of my ancestors were buried in the city cemetery in this really small rural town. It’s amazing to think about the heritage of my family and all of those individuals...

Healthcare Content and Journal Editors – Fun Friday
We don’t cover the various medical journals on here much. There’s an interesting overlap that’s happening with healthcare IT and journals right now, but many of the IT products we cover aren’t really lined up with what’s being published in medical journals. Would a medical journal really be the right place for a discussion of hybrid cloud, virtual desktops, or other IT related topics? I don’t think so.
With that said, I was intrigued by the news that a number of editors quit a top neuroscience journal in protest of the open-access charges this journal was charging people. While I...

eClinicalWorks Goes from 0 to 60 with AI Throughout Their Product
We’ve only seen a few times where something has dramatically changed the EHR product roadmap. The first time this happened was when the HITECH act and associated $36 billion of stimulus money was included to stimulate adoption of EHR software. In order to get access to that stimulus money, you had to use a certified EHR. If you were an EHR company at this time, you quickly realized that you weren’t going to make any sales if you weren’t certified. As such, the EHR product roadmap changed to ensure that you could meet the EHR certification and meaningful use requirements. In fact, one could argue...

How AI Is Transforming the Patient-Provider Relationship
The following is a guest article by Ronen Lavi, Co-Founder and CEO at Navina
As Paul Starr famously wrote about in The Social Transformation of American Medicine, the healer’s relationship with the patient was historically perceived not unlike a religious leader’s relationship with a parishioner: an opportunity to get closer to a higher spiritual plane.
Today, with patients routinely “consulting” with online resources, self-diagnosing, or requesting medication they saw on a television ad, the physician-patient relationship has materially changed. That said, the objectives have not: patients wish for their doctors...

Fax As An On-Ramp for Interoperability
The journey to achieve interoperability in healthcare has been too long and too expensive. To address this, companies have put effort into creating interoperability tools and platforms designed to make it easier to exchange data. To accelerate interoperability efforts, however, creating more technology may not the answer. Perhaps interoperability can gain more traction by putting a focus on getting more organizations on board the interoperability train.
Healthcare IT Today had the opportunity to discuss this topic with Scott Turicchi, CEO at Consensus Cloud Solutions, the world’s largest digital fax provider. Consensus h...

The Goal of RPM is Management, Not Monitoring
The following is a guest article by Lucienne Ide, MD, PhD, Founder and CEO at Rimidi
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a key capability in healthcare, particularly as we have seen multiple factors align in recent years: advances in medical device technology, decreased cost of cellular connectivity, new reimbursement models, and consumer demand that accelerated during the pandemic. RPM offers the ability to follow the patient from the clinic to the home and to provide a more complete picture of their health by collecting daily metrics such as blood pressure, blood glucose, weight, pulse oximetry, etc. But the healthcare in...
