As reported by Reed Construction, Texas is building $1 billion or greater in hospital new construction and hospital renovation. Among the factors contributing to this increase are: a growing population, aging elder demographic and a movement to an urban setting. 3 Trends Impacting the Growth of Texas Medical Real Estate 1)    Population Growth: read more (Source: Healthcare IT News Blog) Healthcare IT News Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5159321 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:26:06 +0100 5159321 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5008383&cid=t_156070_113_f&fid=38236&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthcareitnews.com%2Fblog%2Fget-familiar-healthcare-acronyms It doesn’t matter anymore if you are a recent graduate, changing careers, trying to stabilize your current career or if you are even trying to advance in your current role, the use of acronyms is everywhere in healthcare because they (acronyms) have always been a mainstay in healthcare.

While the vast majority of hospitals and physician practices in the U.S. still don’t have full-featured EMRs in place, many are already looking well into the future. As you may already know, HIMSS on Tuesday released its first-ever survey on “clinical transformation.” According to HIMSS and survey sponsor McKesson, “Clinical transformation involves assessing and continually improving the way patient care is delivered at all levels in a care delivery organization. It occurs when an organization rejects existing practice patterns that deliver in...

The medical industry is doing well, and with halted construction projects from the economic downturn back on track, medical real estate’s potential is coming into full swing. There are five main contributing factors for this growth: market economics, healthcare reform, aging Baby Boomers, increase in outpatient centers and a patient centric hospital experience. read more (Source: Healthcare IT News Blog) Healthcare IT News Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4934459 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:26:52 +0100 4934459 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4902527&cid=t_156070_113_f&fid=38236&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthcareitnews.com%2Fblog%2Fhit-lessons-learned-scotland My trip to Scotland provided a remarkable opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences. Scotland has nearly 100% adoption of electronic health records among general practioners and is making good progress in hospitals with innovative built/bought inpatient systems. As in most countries, health information exchange is still evolving, but novel databases supporting disease management at the community level and an emergency care summary exchange are already live.

Additionally, 49% of hospitals in the U.S. are choosing to do nothing in a "wait and see" position until the fine print of healthcare reform becomes clearer. The remainder intend to move forward, but are reacting cautiously and fluidly to everyday currents of legislation.

I’ve been at the Institute for Health Technology Transformation health IT summit in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., since yesterday, and I’ve also had my regular deadlines for InformationWeek and MobiHealthNews. I moderated two IHT2 conference sessions yesterday, on how health IT underpins Accountable Care Organizations and how business intelligence can create a framework for health information exchange.

[10.1186/1745-7580-4-7](via open access news)In 2007 more than seven million people died from cancer. This means there is still a lot to do for helping patients and for reducing this number. This is also the reason why each new treatment option has to follow good design criteria and sufficient testing, called clinical trial design. Typical design criteria could be: assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device on a specific kind of patient (e.g., patients who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease)assess the safet...

Luckily our EMR stored all the information about exam rooms. We also pulled in the data that described when a patient arrived at the clinic, when the nurse started the intake and when the provider finally saw them. We haven’t actually built any reports on that time study data, but it would be really interesting. That’s really just the beginning of what we were able to do with the EMR data, but I think you get the point. The real question at this point is what other EMR data could benefit from some quality BI analysis? Here’s a fe...

People can enhance their mental abilities given the right environment. Could you imagine what it would be like to work in a setting which optimizes your own ability to take risks, create and refine your best skills at work?  2. Leaders must transcend the  limited notion of fixed intelligence or the g-factor – if a business is to make progress through drawing more intelligence from people. What would it be like to hold a crown over each person’s head and fully expect that person to grow into it? 3.
