Innovation Pulse
Revenue Cycle
With algorithms and analytics, first-moving health orgs are reaping alternative payment models to reduce readmissions, incentivize physicians to coordinate care and improve patient satisfaction.
Hospitals are beginning to think big about patient experience, which starts in people’s homes, communities and even workplaces.
Electronic Health Records
Cerner, athenahealth and eClinicalWorks said they are incorporating new data types, such as social determinants, population health and precision medicine to make EHRs more “comprehensive.”
Analytics
The potential to harness this data to both make people healthier and help hospitals and payers save money is enormous.
Privacy & Security
Yes, health entities need to be held responsible for protecting patient data but public shaming isn’t making that happen. There’s a better way forward.
Privacy & Security
Security frameworks and threat intelligence sharing already exist that hospitals can put to work to defeat cybercriminals.
Population Health
San Mateo County Health System incorporated social determinants of health into its patient records to reduce ‘epistrophic’ events among its vulnerable population.
Pophealth
From a job killing acronym to tech trends they're sick of hearing, prominent technologists share the least-liked, most-overused idioms, slang and jargon.
Interoperability
Leading hospitals deploying secure messaging are finding that once the technology is in use, it opens up new doors to more innovation.
Connected Health
Mount Sinai has a “little big data group,” LifeBridge and Thomas Jefferson also foster clinical innovation teams, and they all say experimentation, evidence, rigor and risk are needed to succeed.
