Unlocking Healthcare ’ s Mobile Future: HIPAA-Compliant BYOD
When I’ve talked to CIOs about what’s keeping them up at night, they almost universally answer: security. No doubt it’s the biggest risk to a healthcare organization and the attackers only need a slight opening in your security defenses to wreak havoc. That’s why we were particularly interested in this session at HIMSS 2024 that looked at how to create a HIPAA-Compliant BYOD program which balanced the security needs of a healthcare organization while still meeting the workflow needs of their users. Michael Karnezis, Director of Commercial Sales, and Vernon O’Donnell, President, Field Opera...

Will Medical Facial Recognition Technology (mFRT) Reawaken Eugenics?
By MIKE MAGEE How comfortable is the FDA and Medical Ethics community with a new super-charged medical Facial Recognition Technology (mFRT) that claims it can “identify the early stages of autism in infants as young as 12 months?” That test already has a name -the RightEye GeoPref Autism Test. Its’ UC San Diego designer says it was 86% accurate in testing 400 infants and toddlers. Or how about Face2Gene which claims its’ mFRT tool already has linked half of the known human genetic syndromes to “facial patterns?” Or how about employers using mFRT facial and speech patterns to identify employees likely t...

Nabla Ambient Clinical Voice Demo at HIMSS
It’s no secret that ambient clinical voice is one of our favorite topics here at Healthcare IT Today. We clearly believe that it’s going to be one of the most impactful technologies to be implemented in healthcare. As a doctor friend recently told me, “It’s the most useful single piece of IT technology I’ve seen in a long time from the doctor’s perspective.” That’s why at the HIMSS annual conference, I was excited to check out a demo of the Nabla ambient clinical voice solution which we captured on the video below for all to see their technology in action. Dr. Ed Lee, Chi...

Ensuring Precision in Patient Identity: Modern Approaches to Master Data Management
The government and many healthcare leaders are pushing for more interoperability and data sharing in healthcare. While this is great and has the potential to make a really big impact for good on the lives of patients and potentially costs, one thing that is often missed in this discussion is high quality patient identification. This is a problem that’s made worse by not having a national patient identifier, but let’s set that topic aside for a moment and recognize that even with a national patient identifier, patient identification and patient matching is still going to be a massive challenge. The depth of ...

Breaking News: Judy Faulkner from Epic Sneezed
We just got a special report coming out of Verona, WI that Judy Faulkner sneezed. Our source which wanted to remain confidential for fear of retribution said that they were walking down the hall of Emerald City office and as they passed a conference room, they heard someone sneeze. Once they heard the startling noise, they looked up and saw Judy Faulkner with her hand to her mouth. Those at Epic said that Judy’s sneeze was spreading like wildfire on the internal Epic Teams channel. Employees weren’t sure what the sneeze meant and they were trying to help each other process such a reaction from the visiona...

Featured Collaboration at HIMSS24 Between MEDITECH, Google, and Mile Bluff Medical Center
I’ve always said that some of the most interesting things in health IT are when someone brings together the right mix of technology, partners, and users to do something that they couldn’t possibly do alone. I sometimes refer to this as health IT needing to put together the right packaging. The best example of this in our personal lives was when the iPhone was launched. There wasn’t much that Apple invented itself in the original iPhone, but what they did amazingly well was to package all of the various technologies such that the iPhone has transformed the world. The same is true in health IT. We h...

Why Managing Mobile Devices at Scale Matters in Healthcare
Healthcare organizations are increasingly reliant on mobile devices for daily operations, enabling tasks that range from clinical communications to electronic record access.

Healthcare IT Today sat down with Dr. Siegal to discuss the challenges of managing mobile devices in healthcare. Healthcare Has Embraced Mobile...

The Latest AI Craze: Ambient Scribing
By MATTHEW HOLT Okay, I can’t do it any longer. As much as I tried to resist, it is time to write about ambient scribing. But I’m going to do it in a slightly odd way If you have met me, you know that I have a strange English-American accent, and I speak in a garbled manner. Yet I’m using the inbuilt voice recognition that Google supplies to write this story now. Side note: I dictated this whole thing on my phone while watching my kids water polo game, which has a fair amount of background noise. And I think you’ll be modestly amused about how terrible the original transcript was. But then...

A Look at Sunoh ’ s Ambient Clinical Voice Solutions Including New EHR Integrations
One of the hottest topics in healthcare and particularly at the HIMSS 2024 conference is ambient clinical voice. We haven’t seen this much universal interest in a health IT product since the government offered $36 billion in stimulus money for EHR software. However, this feels very different since healthcare organizations are evaluating ambient clinical voice solutions on their merit versus chasing government money. They’re doing this because the benefits of this technology are so impactful on doctors and patients. While at the conference, I had a chance to sit down with Saurabh Singh, VP of Sunoh.ai, and...
