What is the key to driving digital innovation with data analytics—and where should healthcare leaders begin?
For over 20 years, the government and the healthcare industry have been trying to figure out how to make EHRs a meaningful tool that benefits providers and patients. But healthcare organizations typically face numerous obstacles to achieving that end. Recently, Healthcare Triangle partnered with CHIME to hold a focus group of healthcare CIOs to identify the most common roadblocks they face in optimizing their EHR.
The life sciences and the pharmaceutical industry have always been in the throes of change—be it a radical medical breakthrough or a unique product and service innovation driving the wave of digital transformation.
There is a burning need for blockchain in pharma. Today, large pharmaceutical companies are betting on blockchain to help accelerate drug development and discovery, better understand how certain chemicals affect specific demographics, and improve their supply chain, all by securely sharing data in real time.
Six out of 10 healthcare organizations are adopting a hybrid approach to cloud adoption, a recent CHIME survey of healthcare IT executives found, while 10% rely on public cloud services and 11% use a private-cloud approach. Yet 47% say it’s too early to tell whether their investment is providing value—a finding that could point to the value of a managed services approach.
In October 2021, a ransomware attack compromised the insurance, diagnosis, treatment and other protected health information (PHI) of some 400,000 patients of a women’s health clinic in Los Angeles. The same month, hackers broke into the computer systems of a Florida-based healthcare network, compromising the PHI of some 1.3 million members.
Recently, researchers unveiled a technique for using artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose COVID-19 from X-rays in mere minutes, compared with waiting hours for the results of a PCR test. It’s yet another example of the in-roads AI and its offspring, machine language (ML) and natural language processing (NLP), are making in medicine.
According to a recent Healthcare Triangle survey, two out of three healthcare executives strive to digitally transform their healthcare organization primarily to improve the patient experience. Unfortunately, according to the same survey, some two-thirds of respondents who say they have a documented strategy for digital transformation believe they don’t have enough resources to implement it. The biggest obstacles: lack of staff resources (49%) and cost (about 25%).
