As your organization considers how to improve outcomes and create a healthier patient population, you should consider the role that digital health solutions play in supporting your initiatives.

In a recent update HCA Healthcare Inc. has announced the official enterprise-wide roll out of their Enhanced Surgical Recovery digital-health program.

The digital transformation in health care is upon us. As we all look to rapidly adopt new technologies, deep integrations and interoperability become key components to help ensure seamless data exchange between patient applications and EHR systems.

Want to expand your efforts on improving patient outcomes? Improving patient engagement is a valuable part of an overall strategy for better outcomes, and is gaining traction across providers and care team members.. That said, what is patient engagement in healthcare, exactly? Patient engagement is about more than just sharing information. It’s about improving healthcare through interaction on both sides. We offer a specialized, digital platform designed to do just that.

We exist in an information rich world, with data points constantly at our fingertips, and this wealth of information gives healthcare providers the opportunity to know more about their patients than ever before. With digital innovation on the rise, technologies are challenging providers to rethink healthcare delivery and appeal to patients as consumers. On average, only 35% of patients have adopted available technologies. Getting patients to engage starts with knowing more about them on an induvial level. Effectively applying available data points to better understand patients can help to close the gaps around patient engagement, drive adoption rates, and support behavior change.

Nearly 1.8 million more people were diagnosed with some type of cancer in 2020. In fact, nearly 40% of all adult Americans will receive a cancer diagnosis at some point in their lifetimes. Treating these patients while allowing them to live their lives as normally as possible can create challenges for oncologists. Fortunately, new technologies are making it possible for doctors and patients to incorporate care into their daily routines with greater success.

Treating an individual’s symptoms is a key component in creating a healthy community, but it’s not the only one. Improving a population’s health involves larger, more holistic approaches aimed at identifying potential risks and empowering people to take better care of themselves. An increasing number of healthcare organizations are employing population health management strategies and supporting technologies to improve clinical outcomes. What exactly is population health management, and what does it entail for those organizations looking to leverage it to improve the health of their surrounding communities?

Today’s consumers have more options than ever when deciding how to spend their time and money. As a result, convenience, quality, and transparency are key pillars during any buyer’s journey, including the healthcare consumer experience. In the past, consumers held very different expectations for retail and healthcare, but modern advances have fueled the convergence of these two industries.

The new CMS rules are upon us, and they are here to stay! Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a deadline of May 1, 2021 for their new admission, transfer and discharge (ADT) notification requirements. A part of their larger Interoperability and Patient Access rule, it applies to all hospitals, including behavioral health and critical access hospitals (1). This initiative signals a shift in thinking that will benefit patients, encourage collaboration amongst providers and improve healthcare outcomes.
