Healthcare IT Regulations – What Needs to Be Added and What Needs to Be Removed

A Perspective on the Coming Regulatory Shift to Approval of Drugs to Treat Aging
At some point, regulatory bodies that oversee the development of new medicine will accept that therapies can target causative mechanisms of aging in order to slow or reverse the progression of aging, and that there are viable ways to assess new treatments that treat aging. There is growing pressure from the academic community and longevity-focused biotech industry for the ability to run clinical trials to treat aging, rather than to treat one specific age-related disease. While inevitable, this change will take some years to come to pass, and likely require greater consensus in the research community on reasonable a...

Health IT ’s Role in Fixing Healthcare’s Biggest AI Misconceptions
The following is a guest article by Dave DeCaprio, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at ClosedLoop No matter where you look – from TikTok filters to the latest ChatGPT release – artificial intelligence (AI) has a profound and growing impact on our daily lives. The market for AI is expected to show strong growth in the coming decade; its current value of nearly $100 billion USD is expected to increase twentyfold by 2030, reaching nearly $2 trillion.

Closing the Gap: Why Healthcare Needs More Gender Diversity in Leadership
The following is a guest article by Dr. Erica Barnell, MD, PhD, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at Geneoscopy Women comprise 70% of the healthcare workforce and 59% of medical, biomedical, and health sciences graduates, yet are the minority at leadership levels — holding only 25% of senior executive roles. As a result, the lack of women in significant decision-making positions is evident. According to U.S. Census estimates, no single ethnic or racial group will represent a majority of the U.S. population by 2055. The potential for more positive patient care experiences, greater innovation, and improved organizatio...

Navitus 2022 Drug Trend Report
   Its been many years since I posted news of a PBM Drug Trend Report. Once upon a time, PBM drug trend reports contained lots of interesting information. However, over time (in 2021, for example, when reports from the preceding year were published), CVS Caremark published only a bare-bones summary, while Prime Therapeutics, MedImpact, and other large PBMs all completelystopped publishing drug trend reports. The reason is basically because its becoming harder and harder for PBMs to present themselves as saving money when the biggest PBMs aren ' t saving any entities any money on prescription drugs anymore (I...

MA for Tomorrow: Moving Beyond the Status Quo to Advance Concrete Policy Changes for the Future of Medicare Advantage
BY CECI CONNOLLY AND MICHAEL BAGEL Medicare Advantage (MA) has passed the tipping point, delivering coverage and care to more than half of the senior population in the US. The Congressional Budget Office projects more than 60 percent of people 65 years and older will be in the program by 2030. As enrollment soars and interest in value-based health care grows, it is imperative policymakers modernize the program that is expected to cost $7.5 trillion over the next decade. Rather than taking the standard Washington posture of declaring victory or defending the status quo, our provider-aligned, nonprofit member pla...

Preventing Genetic Testing Fraud: 5 Actions for Health Plans
The following is a guest article by Erin Rutzler, Vice President of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse at Cotiviti In Delaware, more than 250 Medicare patients underwent unnecessary genetic testing based on telehealth consultations that often lasted less than two minutes—costing Medicare thousands of dollars per patient. Meanwhile, an emerging scheme for fraudulent and unnecessary cardiovascular and cancer genetic testing allegedly resulted in $174 million in false and fraudulent Medicare claims. These are just two examples of what the Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership describes as a surge in fraud, waste and abuse associated...

How Your Brain Is Connected to Your Gut: 7 Facts About Gut Health
We've all had a "gut feeling," or someone has told us to "follow our gut." It's that feeling that we may know something just by knowing—our intuition telling us something. It turns out that this feeling is more than just a feeling. The human body is an intricate series of systems, each individually playing a vital role in our overall health and well-being, and at the same time, they are all connected to make our whole body work.  One of these systems is the gut, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, which is responsible for digesting food and absorbing nutrients. When we combine its superpowers with the brain...

HIMSS Takeaways: Size Doesn ’t (Always) Count, Johnny Appleseed and MomGPT
By MICHAEL L. MILLENSON Live and in-person once again, HIMSS 2023 attracted more than 30,000 attendees to the exhibit halls and meeting rooms of Chicago’s sprawling McCormick Place. Although no one person could possibly absorb it all, below are some harbingers of the health care future that stayed with me. Size Doesn’t Count. Exploring the remote byways of the cavernous exhibition areas, it became clear that it’s not the size of the booth, but the impact of the product that counts. At a pavilion highlighting Turkish companies, for instance, R. Serdar Gemici stood in front of a kiosk that might fit into a walk-i...

Murderous capitalism
This essay by Hunter is mostly a summary of a Washington Post story but I ' m sending you there because of the WaPo paywall. It ' s rather long-winded and repetitive -- you ' ll pretty much get the idea before you read to the end.  To put it in a coconut shell, the first main point is that the only purpose of AR-15 rifles and knockoffs thereof is to kill humans. They are military rifles that can get off a lot of not particularly well-aimed shots quickly and that cause horrendous tissue damage. They are not useful for hunting or target shooting or any other conceivable " sport. " They are military weapons designed to k...

AI: Not Ready, Not Set – Go!
By KIM BELLARD I feel like I’ve written about AI a lot lately, but there’s so much happening in the field. I can’t keep up with the various leading entrants or their impressive successes, but three essays on the implications of what we’re seeing struck me: Bill Gates’ The Age of AI Has Begun, Thomas Friedman’s Our New Promethean Moment, and You Can Have the Blue Pill or the Red Pill, and We’re Out of Blue Pills by Yuval Harari, Tristan Harris, and Aza Raskin.  All three essays speculate that we’re at one of the big technological turning points in human history. We’re not ready. The subtitle ...

How Omnichannel Messaging Can Solve Headaches for Healthcare Communications
The following is a guest article by Sandro Stupar, Product Management Director at Mitto. Navigating the healthcare system in America can be byzantine and time-consuming. Despite the many advances in telehealth, mobile apps and walk-in health clinics, patients and caregivers frequently find themselves waiting (often impatiently) in long phone queues to make an appointment, renew a prescription or obtain lab results. There should be a better way.  There is. Increasingly, medical providers are borrowing from the classical marketing playbook and weaving omnichannel messaging into their communications. And, just as it has in o...
