5 Tips for Good Patient Engagement while Using an EHR Software
Electronic medical records offer a number of efficiency and accuracy benefits for physicians offices, but a new study shows tech tools can also reduce patient engagement when not used correctly.

mHealth – How Much Does it Cost and is it Clinically Effective?
I wrote in the beginning of 2012 that perhaps that year was the year for mHealth to ‘breakout. ‘ I cited several proclamations and organizational activities to support that claim. mHealth and the use of remote monitoring as an integrated healthcare offering is still not as prevalent as one would think it would be two years later.

Inevitably, when I speak with my colleagues and other people involved in healthcare, economic and clinical effectiveness questions prevail. Two specifi...

Role of Montoring Techs in Alarm Notification
Challenges with alarm notification and fatigue have plagued the health care industry for decades. Long before alarm notification systems like Emergin (now Philips IntelliSpace Event Management) and GlobeStar Systems (ConnexAll) appeared, some hospitals addressed alarm issues with the original alarm notification system, monitoring techs. Monitoring techs remain an accepted and effective tool in the constant battle to reduce alarm fatigue and avoid failure-to-rescue events.
With the growing adoption of electronic alarm notification systems, is there still a role for monitoring techs? Are electronic alarm notification system...
