December 19, 2019EMR Implementation Strategies with Dr. Eric Lee - Part 2Part 2 of 3 with Dr. Eric Lee. We continue our discussion of EMR implementations including the build phase with all of its inherent challenges.

December 17, 2019CMIO News to Know for the Week of Dec 16thThis week I cover 5 articles. The first is about a Florida medical group that got fined y the OCR for not releasing records to a patient. Watch for this; the government is ramping up legal action against providers that are information blocking. The second article is about real time location tracking apps to help locate you patient transport teams and find the bottlenecks in your system. Very cool tech and it sounds incredibly simple to roll out. The third article is a review of how EHRs are still a pain in the butt, but getting better. The fourth is about remote patient monitoring for lung transplant patients, which I think is a phenomenal use case. Finally, I review an article about population health analytic tools. A challenging space to be in and there are lots of difficulties with executing this analytic project well....more20minPlay

December 02, 2019CMIO News to Know for the Week of December 2ndThis week I cover an article about chatbots, GE entering the AI healthcare space (a bit late if you ask me), a health system suing Leapfrog, and a health system taken down by ransomware. There is an article that asks where you should look to find your digital transformation leader and I wonder where a health system could find someone with technology knowledge and clinical acumen to help guide them. Hmmm, if only there were such people already in the health system that could be encouraged to help in this space (there is some sarcasm here for those missing my point). Finally, I end with a few ICD-10 codes that apply to Thanksgiving and hoping you do not have any of them sitting in your emergency department....more21minPlay
