The changes coming to E/M Office Visits and other Outpatient Services beginning January 1st of 2021 are set to simplify code determination and their corresponding documentation requirements. But while they will reduce the administrative burden on many, is it that straightforward? What exactly must be done, now, in transition?
One of the most important aspects required for an organization to survive and outperform their competitors is AGILITY. Agility gives an organization the ability to be proactive and responsive to market changes as they occur. This leads to innovative approaches resulting in faster times to market and accelerated revenue growth. Driving this agile business approach is the Cloud.
With close to 90% of enterprises adopting a Cloud-first approach, the Cloud has become the obvious choice for rolling out business applications. As IT’s focus shifts from technology provider to service provider not only does their role change but the need for automation also increases. New services must be delivered on demand and at the speed of business. To meet these demands DevOps and service automation are a central part of a sound Cloud strategy.
All over the country, healthcare providers are planning their 2021 priorities. New tech, value-based care, and global events are driving healthcare to broaden its view of access, quality, and affordability. The IT organization must respond to remain relevant and enable care delivery. Here are three key considerations for your organization’s 2021 IT planning and budgeting.
Healthcare provider organizations are reassessing how their Electronic Health Record (EHR) is supporting patients, providers, and their strategic goals. In a time of upheaval and innovation for healthcare, organizations cannot accept the status quo from their systems and are turning to partners like Healthcare Triangle to help them manage support for their EHR and other clinical and revenue cycle applications.
Epic is the undisputed EHR software leader, both in terms of market share and staff satisfaction scores. However, one area has recently come under scrutiny, and not without merit. KLAS reviewed the Epic Community Connect experience for the first time this year, and as a domain we are heavily engaged with and know particularly well, we thought we’d share some additional perspectives.
It’s 2020, and despite all the technology available to us these days, healthcare still manages to find a way to lag behind. One of the components that shines though is the EHR patient portal. Portals are must-haves for most organizations and providers, but they are much more than that as well.
Problem statement for the industry
Pharma companies are pursuing the ultimate moonshot goal of changing the way medicines are developed so the right treatment can be delivered to the right patient at the right time. Thus, enabling the delivery of highly personalized healthcare, which effects the Pharma, Life Science and Healthcare verticals.
The 21st Century Cures Act, a United States law enacted at the end of 2016, mandates patient data interoperability for payers, providers, and healthcare organizations. As we approach rolling implementation deadlines, healthcare organizations are wrestling with how to liberate data from siloed systems – not only to give patients more granular control of their data, but also to improve outcomes by giving doctors a more complete view into their patients’ conditions.
Secure and compliant Infrastructure is one of the fundamental requirements for Pharma and life Sciences companies in the cloud. These industries require scalable compute and storage capabilities to run advanced algorithms and processes to tabulate drug and reagent performance, to increase the overall drug efficacy. The Infrastructure must be GxP and HITRUST certified to ensure developed drugs can pass regulatory approvals. This is required for the delivery of highly personalized healthcare, improving the quality of evidence collected from Real-World Data and enhancing the Pharmacovigilance (Drug Safety) aspect of drug development and research.
