Health Systems Hiring Chief Digital Officers; How Does This Effect the Current C-Suites
    During my career in healthcare IT dating back to the early 1980s, I have seen one major change in the executive leadership in hospital IT. This was the creation of thechief information officer (CIO). Prior to this time, the key IT position in hospitals was the HIS manager who reported to the CFO. This was logical because the major functions of the HIS (hospital information system) at that time were billing and tracking patient admissions and discharges (i.e., patient management systems). About ten years later, hospitals began to appoint chief information officers (CIOs). This c...

Why Medicare for All Will Not Cure What Ails the Hahnemann
By ASEEM R. SHUKLA, MD The impending closure of Hahnemann University Hospital is a local tragedy.  Eliminating a 170-year old institution is certain to exaggerate the daily travails of the economically disadvantaged inner-city population that Hahnemann serves as a safety-net hospital.  The closure is also a national tragedy. Hospitals are the towering, visible monuments of our healthcare system, and closings imply that something insidious ails that very system—that all is not well.   Hospitals are complex entities with varied financial drivers, and the solution is never simple.  And the mo...

A Proposal to Improve Healthcare and Make It More Affordable
By STEVE ZECOLA Americans spend about $3 trillion per year on healthcare, or about $10,000 per person per year. Despite these expenditures, Americans are worse off than their international counterparts with respect to infant mortality, life expectancy and the prevalence of chronic conditions. In policy debates, Republicans mostly prefer to let the marketplace devise the appropriate outcomes, but this approach ignores the market failures that plague the industry. On the other hand, Democrats propose a variety of solutions such as “Medicare for All” which nationalizes all healthcare insurance or, as a variant, ...

Senator Portman Presumes To Know How Many Days Of Pain Relief All 328 Million Americans Need

He will be kind enough to allow exceptions for people dealing with cancer, chronic pain, and “other serious matters”—whatever that means.Government data show there i...

A Victory for Consumer Protections and Health Insurance Freedom
Last year, the Departments of Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services worked within federal law to expand consumer protections and restore Americans ’ freedom to choose the health insurance that meets their needs. On Friday, a federal court rebuffed an effort to block those protections and force Americans into ObamaCare. First, a little background.In 1996, Congress exempted “short-term limited duration insurance” from federal health insurance regulations. Congress never defined what “short-term” or “limited duration” meant. So in 1997, the Clinton administration gave meaning to those terms by decreeing...

Health Insurance 101 -- yet again
I just cannot understand why it is so difficult to get people to grasp what seems to me a simple idea. Let ' s try one more time.The purpose of insurance is to spread risk. That ' s the essence of the concept. Health insurance (or health care insurance as some prefer to say) is different from other kinds of insurance in some ways, so let ' s just talk about health insurance.Health care costs are unpredictable. It is true that there are risk factors associated with some conditions, most notably smoking tobacco. Nevertheless, no matter how healthful your lifestyle, you still just might need expensive health care. You might b...

Healthcare In Estonia: Where Grandmas Go For Genetic Data
Imagine a country where citizens will have their genetic profiles integrated into the digital health system with individual risk scores and pharmacogenomic information, so when they go to the doctor, they will get fully personalized, genetic risk-based diagnosis, medication, and preventive measures.
