Are hospital CEOs overpaid? One lawyer ’ s skeptical take on executive compensation.
As somebody who has reviewed physician employment agreements for 40 years or so, I have to admit I am more than a little jaundiced when it comes to the subject of hospital executive compensation. I’m not altogether convinced that one health system CEO really “earned” the $35.5 million he was reported to have been paid

Netsmart Leverages AI and Predictive Analytics to Improve Care and Identify Suicide Risk
Tom Herzog, chief operating officer of Netsmart, says that “digitization has always been about entering data into the system” and that users are asking, “What does the system do for me?” It’s time to “aggregate” that data and get a million “second opinions.”
Matthew Arnheiter, senior vice president of innovations, described Netsmart’s project with the Missouri Behavioral Health Council (MBHC) to use predictive analytics and identify people at risk of suicide. Their AI system ingested data across the “silos” of more than 30 behavioral health providers...

The Digital Front Door in Healthcare Doesn ’ t Work Without Data from Across Systems
While it may be true that the EHR is the main tool for a clinician, the same is not true for patients. Patient data is stored in a wide variety of systems including a CRM, health system website, secure messaging systems, call center systems, survey systems, mobile apps, iPads in the doctor’s office, kiosks, and much more. Plus, patients are engaging with the healthcare system on social media, on ratings and review websites, through ads, and other third party websites. Yes, and the EHR has patient data too. However, if a healthcare organization doesn’t combine data across these systems, they can’t ...

So what can we do about health care costs?
By MATTHEW HOLT
Last week Jeff Goldsmith wrote a great article in part explaining why health care costs in the US went up so much between 1965 and 2010. He also pointed out that health care has been the same portion of GDP for more than a decade (although we haven’t had a major recession in that time other than the Covid 2020 blip when it went up to 19%). However, it’s worth remembering that we are spending 17.3% of GDP while the other main OECD countries are spending 11-12%. Now it’s true that the US has lots of social problems that show up in heath spending and also that those other countries probably spend ...

Patient Self-Scheduling Has Reached a Tipping Point
The Digital Health Tipping Point report released in December 2023 by Panda Health provides key insights into the value that healthcare leaders see in digital health technologies. The report’s findings give a clear indication where investments are likely going to be made and where they may be scaled back.
In other words, the report shows which digital health technologies have tipped into the “must-have” category.
To get the inside scoop on the report, Healthcare IT Today sat down with Ryan Bengtson, President and COO at Panda Health. We had three key questions for him:
What is the top “must-have” technology?
