The race heats up to buy Signify Health. Why?

August 22, 2022: Charles Boicey from Clearsense joins Bill for the news. We hear almost daily about flashy new ventures just like Amazon’s recent purchase of One Medical that promise transformative improvements in healthcare. But will Amazon’s foray into primary care be easy? Meta faces yet another lawsuit alleging that its Pixel tracking tool harvests patients’ private medical data and shares the information with Facebook. Why do they continue to violate state and federal laws? Sharp HealthCare and Sanford Health have joined with Dandelion Health on a project meant to build diversity into data science. And is the relative lack of competition in the EHR market good or bad for interoperability?

Key Points:

• Instead of artificial intelligence, it's intelligent assist
• Interoperability is a business problem, not a technical problem
• It’s going to be interesting to watch the continuation of machine learning and AI, as it's applied to healthcare
• Clearsense

Sign up for our webinar: Challenges and Solutions to Unmanaged Devices in Healthcare - Thursday September 8, 2022: 1pm ET / 10am PT. If we had to troubleshoot just a few devices every once in a while, our hospital systems would run as smooth as butter, right? But when missing devices, security issues and friction caused by interoperability hits, we can’t expect a smooth operation. Our webinar will answer many questions surrounding the devices integral to keeping patients healthy. 

Not much happening in the world Today so we look at the week that was and the week ahead.
