A new report, co-authored by former National Coordinator Farzard Mostashari, offers a roadmap toward the data exchange infrastructure needed to help contain the coronavirus pandemic.

The tool will enable healthcare professionals to launch video visits while also updating clinical documentation and reviewing patient histories in the EHR workflow.

A self-assessment tool helps users gauge symptoms to determine whether they might qualify for testing and offers guidance on when to seek medical care.

Healthcare technology company Cerner and Amazon Web Services are teaming up to offer researchers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic access to de-identified patient data.

A new report also finds that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, 18% of physicians plan to retire, temporarily close their practices or opt out of patient care completely.

Five funding applications from coast to coast were approved, ranging from $380,000 to just under $1 million.

Ad hoc COVID-19 medical centers have a unique set of vulnerabilities: They're remote, they sit outside of a defense-in-depth architecture and the very nature of their purpose – care in a time of crisis – means security is a lower priority.
