The
Emperor ’s new clothes and digital mental health policy
By Associate
Professor Louise Stone
Digital mental health services are not the “solutions” they
claim to be. They lack data, GPs find them useful in only a few patients, and
most patients don’t want them.

The Advantages, Challenges, and Costs of Healthcare at Home Services
Switching to fully remote operations during the pandemic was a rushed adventure into what was mostly uncharted territory. There were a lot of challenges and bugs to work out, but there were also plenty of advantages and unforeseen benefits. And it is thanks to those advantages and benefits that healthcare at home is continuing, even as there are still challenges to work on and in-person operations return. While our first big push into remote care was a leap into the unknown, this time we want to make sure that we are surveying the landscape to make this a safe, smart, and financially responsible decision.
So let’s ta...

Microsoft Teams and Boostlingo Integration Improves Healthcare Interpretation Efficiency
Talking with a CIO this week, he described how telehealth is now just part of the infrastructure for how they see patients. Certainly telehealth balooned during COVID and has come back to more reasonable levels now, but in many cases telehealth appointments have still settled at 100 times what they were before COVID. Patients and clinicians are now more comfortable with telehealth as an option that provides great convenience for the patients.
One of the most common telehealth platforms being used right now is Microsoft Teams. My guess is that it was widely adopted because it was included in the Microsoft package that...

Infinx Reduces Errors, Turnaround Time, and Staff Burdens for RCM
Many factors make revenue cycle management (RCM) a big headache for U.S. health care providers. Aakarsh Sethi, Senior Product Manager at Infinx, lists the forms of “fragmentation” in payments: not just many different payers, but different plans with different coverage at each payer, along with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and other third party managers, and rules that are constantly changing.
Establishing eligibility, getting prior authorization, and billing are a “very manual process today,” which not only slows down the revenue cycle but leaves a lot of space for inaccuracies to enter and trig...

When Insurance and Patients Start Demanding 24/7 Availability
It would be really nice if injuries, illnesses, and dental issues only happened during 9-5 working hours. However, we know that’s not the case. The need for medical and dental care can spring up at any time. In fact, it seems like most healthcare situations happen after hours at really inconvenient times. Of course, on the other hand, healthcare providers can’t be available 24/7. It’s a truly challenging situation that has to be navigated carefully by practices that want to provide the needed care and maintain their reputation, but also not burn out their staff.
Increasing Demand for 24/7 Availa...

This Week ’ s Health IT Jobs
As most of you know, we’ve had a healthcare IT job board called Healthcare IT Central for a long time. In fact, it was integral to the growth of Healthcare IT Today. While we happily helped many health IT professionals find jobs and healthcare organizations fill their health IT positions, our focus has definitely moved from growing the job board to the content, podcasts, and videos we have been doing on Healthcare IT Today. With that change of focus, I’m sad to say that shortly we’ll be shutting down the Healthcare IT Central job board.
As part of that change, we still want to share health IT jobs w...

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...

Upgrading your photographic workflow
Back in February, DxO sent me a beta version of their PureRaw4 software to test drive ahead of the official launch in March. So, having used version 3 for years, I was keen to incorporate the upgrade into my workflow. I’ve pushed it to the limit with a high-speed, low-light photo of a Mute Swan landing on a lake. This is the final result, below you can read how I got there from a very noisy RAW file straight out of the camera.
This is the final denoised and processed image – Mute Swan Landing
The bottom line is that PureRaw4 does an excellent job of basically knocking out noise to the equivalent of about three ...
