Advancing Healthcare with High Performance Computing (HPC) and Cybersecurity
Healthcare has become a data-driven industry as the volume of data continues to grow and organizations are able to use that data to provide more personalized care.

MRO Lets Payers and Providers See the Same Ledger
Health care payers, such as CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, traditionally have only billing data on their patients. That’s why Mo Weitnauer, chief product officer at MRO, calls clinical data “the hottest commodity” in health care.
Piyush Khanna, Vice President Clinical Services at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, would like to store all their data in a single repository and use it for “bidirectional conversations” between the payer and providers. This can provide doctors with data at the point where the clinical decisions are being made—for instance, to perform dialysis at-home or in the clin...

The Evolution of the EHR Service Desk and Leveraging an Outside Provider
Dan O’Connor, Vice President, Service Desk Delivery at HCTec, says that resolving a customer service call involves a lot more than fixing the problem that the customer bought.

Furthermore, every call is about patient care, even if it’s helping a staff person use their computer. That’s because they are all ultimately serving a patient.
In this video, O’Connor explores service desks with Audrius Polikaitis, Chief Information Officer at UI Health, which serves...
