8 Practical Predictions For The Near Future Of Healthcare
This article aims to bridge that gap, providing a condensed overview beneficial for healthcare professionals and users alike.
1) Patients will become the point of care
In the pursuit of more streamlined and patient-centric healthcare, traditional hospital frameworks are under reassessment. The stereotypical scenes of long waiting lines, overwhelming paperwork, and sterile, uninviting corridors symbolize a dated workflow. The evolution towards modernity beckons a shift from this conventional setup, ushering in an era where patients, armed with digital health tools, become the focal point of care, reducing the dependen...

Air quality alert: Reducing our carbon footprint in health care
A guest column by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, exclusive to KevinMD. Do no harm. We learn this throughout our medical education and training, and in practice it is a keystone for clinical decision making. This principle continues to inspire patient safety, quality improvement, and better patient care. Do no harm also applies to the environment.

Hidden Heroes: How Operational Teams Drive Optimal Health IT System Adoption
The following is a guest article by Cynthia Casatelli, Senior Consultant and Project Manager at e4.health
The success of any major IT system change hinges on having the right people working on the right tasks through every step of the process. Each phase of a project, from ideation to activation, demands specific skills and insights.
From pre-planning to strategic plans and rigorous timelines, proper resource alignment is crucial. However, proper staffing for EHR, revenue cycle management (RCM), and other major health IT system transitions go far beyond IT personnel. Operational teams must also be fully engaged and include...

The art of pediatrics: Connecting through observation
On my first day of inpatient rounds during intern year, I was taken aback when the attending stated, “Let’s stop outside the room and just spend a few moments watching the child and mom.” I started my residency on my community rotation site in Chester, PA, where several of the Philadelphia training programs at that

Money Is a Psychedelic Too
Money is actually psychedelic. Let me ‘splain…
Money isn’t as intense as the psychedelics you put directly into your body – physical consumption changes the intentionality – but money still behaves very much as a psychedelic substance.
Money responds powerfully to set and setting, the set being your mindset and the setting behind the environment of other relationships that you bring to your interactions with money.
When this realization popped in, I asked my higher self if this was true, and he said, “Bingo! Indeed it is.”
I see this very clearly in my own relationship with money as it...

Diversity Supplement Program Paves the Way for Talented Researchers
“I hope that one day I’m able to increase our understanding of evolution, and I also hope to increase access to research. I want others to know that this space is open to people who look like me, who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, and who are underrepresented in the sciences,” says Nkrumah Grant, Ph.D., a postdoctoral research associate (postdoc) in microbiology and molecular genetics at Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing.
Dr. Grant’s work receives support from the NIGMS Diversity Supplement Program (DSP), which is designed to improve the recruitment and training of promising researchers from ...

A Different Way to Go About Building a DNA Methylation Clock
This study shows that Elastic Net (EN) DNA methylation (DNAme) clocks have low accuracy of predictions for individuals of the same age and a low resolution between healthy and disease cohorts; caveats inherent in applying linear models to non-linear processes. We found that change in methylation of cytosines with age is, interestingly, not the determinant for their selection into the clocks. Moreover, an EN clock's selected cytosines change when non-clock cytosines are removed from the training data; as expected from optimization in a machine learning (ML) context, but inconsistently with the identification of health marke...

Having Tackled Workflows and Image Enhancement, Generative AI Targets Diagnostics
The following is a guest article by Morris Panner, President at Intelerad Medical Systems
By 2034, the U.S. could face a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians due, in part, to burnout. In the medical imaging field, specifically, this challenge isn’t exactly new – but the technology that could help remedy the problem is. The usage of this potential solution in the imaging space has been delayed due to the perception it’s a bit of a rule-breaker.
A fairly recent arrival to radiology, Generative AI has emerged as a powerful resource, showing promise in a variety of tasks, from supporting streamlined workflows to syntheti...

5 Must-Haves in a Patient Financial Communication Platform
The following is a guest article by Steven Dubner, Vice President of Product Management at Nordis Technologies
No matter how exemplary the clinical care, overall patient experience and satisfaction often hinge on the last interactions with providers—billing and payments. But many patients are, in fact, unhappy with the current state: 49% of all adults and 74% of millennials would consider switching providers for a better payment experience, according to InstaMed’s 2021 annual consumer survey on healthcare payments.
To improve this critical financial experience, healthcare technology and revenue cycle leaders are digita...

The shifting landscape of gastroenterology manpower and compensation
The field of gastroenterology in the United States has undergone a significant transformation over the past 5 to 10 years, driven by a confluence of historical changes in training programs, changing demographics among GI doctors due to the relatively new specialty of GI endoscopy, and a dwindling supply of gastroenterologists. These factors have culminated in
