Data ’ s Role in Health Equity: Digging into the Root of the Problem
As we’ve been becoming more patient centric in healthcare, we have become more and more aware of the challenges different demographics face while trying to receive the care they need. As a result, health equity has been a hot topic and organizations have been searching for solutions. Because in order to put our patients first, we need to be sure that includes all of our patients, not just some of them.

A Tribute to Casey Quinlan – Advocate and Renaissance Woman
On Tuesday April 25th 2023, the world lost a bright flame. After a long journey with cancer, Casey Quinlan @MightyCasey passed away peacefully with family and friends by her side. Quinlan was one-of-a-kind and if you had the good fortune of meeting her in-person or interacted with her online, she undoubtedly left an impression. She was one of the few people who had zero qualms about speaking her mind – and that is one of reasons why I admired her.
Outspoken Advocate
I got to know Quinlan through the early #hcldr tweetchats that we hosted (and still host) on Tuesday nights at 8:30pm ET. At the time, I had never seen someo...

Maximizing Healthcare Data Starts with a Human-Centric Approach
The following is a guest article by Chris Anello, Director of Digital Platforms at iTech AG
The COVID-19 pandemic pushed healthcare organizations to the edge and exposed both challenges and opportunities related to public health data.

Charging Ahead with Enovate Medical and JAR Systems
A nurse or technician in a hospital is asked to do a patient intake or capture their vital signs. In modern hospitals, the staff are likely to grab a ‘workstation on wheels,” which is a computer on a cart, accessorized with useful tools along with a wireless connection. Or they may grab a tablet or cell phone.
But can the busy staff person find a free workstation or device? Has it been properly cleaned? Is there enough power on it?
This is the problem solved by Enovate Medical through Rhythm, which provides an “asset management platform” to better manage the devices in your environment. In this vi...
