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...

Science Snippet: Examining Enzymes

Every day, our cells must produce all the various molecules they need to stay alive. But the chemical reactions to create these molecules can’t occur without help—which is where enzymes come in. Enzymes are biological catalysts, meaning they speed up the rate of specific chemical reactions by reducing the amount of energy needed for the reaction to occur. Most enzymes are proteins, but some RNA molecules can also act as enzymes.
Thousands of different enzymes ...

A man in his 40s with 3 days of stuttering chest pain
Written byWilly FrickA man in his early 40s with BMI 36, hypertension, and a 30 pack-year smoking history presented with three days of chest pain. It started while he was at rest after finishing a workout. He described it as a mild intensity, nagging pain on the right side of his chest with nausea and dyspnea. It woke him the next day and radiated into his back. He was only able to sleep while sitting in a chair. He went to urgent care and had an ECG (not available) which was interpreted as normal, and was sent home. His pain returned, and he went back to the urgent care but was sent to the ER.

Primary care for all Americans: What the U.S. health care system can learn from Scituate, Rhode Island
In the quaint New England town of Scituate, Rhode Island, with a population of 10,000, a health care revolution was brewing. Dr. Michael Fine, a passionate family physician, had moved to Scituate with his family in 1992 to serve a quiet, rural community with significant health care challenges. By 1999, though, Scituate’s residents had become

Unlocking the Power of Interoperability for Revenue Cycle Management
Interoperability is game-changing not just in a clinical setting, but it holds tremendous potential for healthcare’s financial stakeholders as well. A seamless transfer of data in the revenue cycle process results in optimal reimbursement, reduced administrative costs, and fewer surprises for patients.
Healthcare IT Today sat down with Juli Forde Smith, Director of Strategic Partnerships at ZOLL Data Systems and Erica Gregory, Senior Vice President at Netsmart to discuss interoperability for revenue cycle management (RCM).

The Next Generation Of Medical AI: Exploring Safe and Accurate Innovation In Healthcare
In recent years, natural language processing (NLP) has emerged as a promising tool, powering algorithms for decoding complex medical language. The technology enables users to extract information from patient records and rapidly assess disease progression, treatment efficacy, health trends, and other use cases.
Despite its initial promise, NLP has fallen short of expectations in healthcare. Dr. Tim O’Connell, a practicing physician and cofounder of the medical AI company emtelligent, compares healthcare NLP to fusion energy. “It’s been 10 years away for the past 50 years,” O’Connell says.
Approximately 80% of elec...

Using ChatGPT Offline: How Small Language Models Can Aid Healthcare Professionals
By now, you might have come across the term large language models (LLMs), which is a type of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). If not, you have likely encountered GenAI applications that are based on LLMs. This includes the likes of ChatGPT, Google Bard and Microsoft Copilot. While such models have proved useful, in the healthcare setting, they come with new sets of regulatory, ethical and privacy concerns.
Recently, another type of language model has been gaining attention in the GenAI field: the small language model (SLM). It even holds the promise of addressing some of the challenges with integrating LLMs i...

“ Exercise ” – what does it do for people living with persistent pain?
No, I’m not going to assemble a bunch of papers and point out the effect sizes of exercise on pain and disability! In fact, I’m not even going to point to much research in this post. I want to pose some questions and put some thoughts out for discussion.
See, the people I’ve seen over the years who live with pain have, by and large, not been great ‘exercisers’ before their pain came on, and many haven’t really changed their lifestyle a heap since their pain either. In fact, there is research showing that people with chronic pain don’t change the overall quantity of their activit...
