Staying Informed About Regulatory Changes, Industry Standards, and Technological Advancements to make Informed Decisions
The world of healthcare is constantly changing – both in terms of our tools and inventions and in how we approach things and where our priorities are at. But we also know that being knowledgeable and informed on the entire landscape of healthcare is crucial to being a good Health IT leader who can effectively lead their teams. This leaves us with the big question: in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape, how do Health IT leaders stay informed about regulatory changes, industry standards, and technological advancements to make informed decisions and guide their teams effectively?
So in search of the answer to this qu...

A Mitochondrial View of Muscle Aging
The hundreds of mitochondria present in every cell are primarily responsible for generating adenosine triphosphate, a chemical energy store molecule used to power cell operations. Mitochondria are the descendants of ancient symbiotic bacteria, and carry a small circular genome, the mitochondrial DNA. They replicate as needed, can fuse together and swap component parts, and damaged mitochondria are removed by cell maintenance processes. Mitochondrial function declines with age for a variety of reasons that include damage to mitochondrial DNA and changes in the expression of genes involved in replication, fusion, and quality...

Strategies and Best Practices for Developing and Nurturing Leadership Skills in Health IT
The new year is a time of personal growth and self-improvement. We all set out with a list of resolutions, determined to become the best versions of ourselves. While we are still in this mindset, let’s talk about how we can also improve as health IT leaders. Aristotle believed that in order to become a virtuous person, you must do virtuous things. So to become a better leader in health IT, we need to figure out what skills and best practices we must do and find out if these skills for health IT leadership is different than other healthcare sectors.
We reached out to our incredible Healthcare IT Today Community to ask...

A New Day for Parkinson ’s Disease Research Is Near
By STEVEN ZERCOLA
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service (“HHS”) is responsible for a wide range of activities relating to medical and public health. It has 60,000 employees and a $1.7 trillion annual budget with approximately $140 billion for discretionary spending. For the past 13 years, HHS has been spearheading a National Plan for addressing Alzheimer’s disease – with some notable successes.
Given its resources, expertise and charter, HHS should launch a National Plan to cure Parkinson’s disease patterned after its approach on Alzheimer’s disease.
Legislation, or Not

Will Patients Have To Pay For Using AI In Their Healthcare?
This article discussed how the author was asked if she wanted to pay $40 extra for additional AI analysis in mammography. In her case a Manhattan radiology clinic offered an AI analysis of their mammogram for an additional $40, not covered by insurance. This scenario was echoed at a clinic in suburban Baltimore, where patients were similarly offered AI-assisted mammography for a $40 fee. These instances mark the initial real-world applications of AI in patient care but also introduce new factors to the healthcare equation.
To make things more complicated, we can’t look for a single, universal solution here. Heal...

What is the correlation between number of doctors in a society & health of population ?
This query is lingering ever since I entered the medical profession. Though, this question might appear absurd , no correct answer is found yet .When we search the literature, the relationship between doctors and health can be 1.linear, 2.non linear, and 3. even inverse . 1 & 2 are ok 3 is forbidden.
However, to put it in a nut-shell, healthiness of a society is little to do with Doctor population alone, is well known and I think it needs no proof. The following scattergram gives some idea about the Issue.
Where to get answer for this controversial question ? Great times we are in. We have taught the machine...

Cybersecurity ’s Role in the Office of the Chief Medical Officer
The following is a guest article by William Thorn, CISSP, CDPSE, Senior Strategist and Architect at Trellix
Do cyber threats feel like an inevitable workplace hazard? Attacks may seem rare when trying to anticipate them from afar. Once the threat materializes, it is common in healthcare settings for hospitals to choose a reactive approach. To choose not to invest in cyber defense education, tools, or any other preventative measure until it is too late.
But picture a similar strategy in a clinical setting — imagine if we didn’t approach health safety in layers of defense. Examination rooms wouldn’t be regularly saniti...

Enhancing Payment Integrity in Healthcare through Pre-Payment Reviews
The following is a guest article by Tom Magnotta, COO & President at Apixio
Albert Einstein famously said, “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” This quote lies at the heart of integrity, a powerful concept that applies equally critically in the healthcare payments environment as it does in daily life. Payment integrity is essential for ensuring financial accuracy, maintaining compliance with regulations, optimizing the healthcare delivery system, and removing administrative waste, which impacts the focus on patient care and quality outcomes. It also plays...

Removing Senescent Cells Makes Chemotherapy More Effective
Cellular senescence is protective against cancer, at least initially. When cells become senescent due to potentially cancer-inducing damage, shutting down replication and secreting pro-inflammatory signals reduces the risk of cancer and attracts the immune system to clear out other potentially cancerous cells that have not become senescent. When senescent cells linger in larger numbers, however, they begin to aid cancer by changing the environment into one that favors the growth of cancerous tissue. Thus clearing senescent cells in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments is more effective for patients than the treat...
