As I have been continuing to work in the information governance area as it relates to healthcare, I recently came across an interesting development. Some of my previous blog posts have covered the difference between Information Governance and Data Governance and some of the players in the field, including the American Health Information Management Association […]

With so much information in the marketplace today, it is often difficult to distill key parameters for strategic decisions. I enjoy helping people find useful guideposts for making informed choices in technology. The Cloud is a key topic for everyone engaged in today’s strategic IT planning and software solution decisions. As such, I look forward […]

We chatted with CIO David Chou at HIMSS16 about opportunities for growth for health systems. David (@dchou1107) has been named to several “Top Social CIO” and “CIOs to Know” lists. He is a visionary and resourceful leader with expertise in healthcare and digital technology and a proven track record of delivering innovative, state-of-the-art solutions.

HIMSS16 brings together more than 40,000 health IT professionals, 1,300 vendors and 300 education programs. A conference of such magnitude has us all seeking a little #HIMSSANITY at times. Here are some of our favorite #HIMSSANITY tweets during the event, and leading up to it.

I oftentimes refer to my career in Connected Health technology as my favorite hobby. This can be verified if we meet and you ask me to talk about how to use technology to engage patients outside of the care setting (go ahead, I dare you). You’ll learn that it’s pretty much a case of “wind […]

Last month I posted “ACA’s Quality Rating System – An opportunity to gain market share”, which explained how QHP issuers can gain market share in the individual space. In that blog I mentioned that, as part of the Quality Rating System, plans offered on the Marketplace will receive a “Star” rating based on a 5 […]

I always find industry acronyms amusing. Sometimes they describe new technologies, other times they are a new name for an existing technology (maybe with a slight twist). And then there are those times when two different technologies, models, theories, etc. end upwith the same acronym. Such is the case with Information as a Service and […]

Medicare is basing hospital reimbursements on performance measures. Patient satisfaction determines 30% of the incentive payments, and improved clinical outcomes decide 70 percent (source). So, it is no surprise that the term “patient experience” is rolling off people’s tongues very matter-of-fact like. With the focus primarily on the hospital or inpatient setting, it’s easy to […]
