Announcements, Insights, and Perspectives from the Oracle Health Conference
One of the nice things about living in Las Vegas is that almost all the health IT conferences come to Las Vegas.  Sadly, that wasn’t actually true for the Cerner user conference which was held in Kansas City.  However, now that Oracle bought Cerner, the Oracle Health conference is now co-located with Oracle World and is being held in Las Vegas. Of course, there are also downsides to conferences being in Las Vegas where family considerations pull me away from the event.  For example, I missed Larry Ellison’s keynote, but Kristian Feterik did a nice job capturing at least part of Ellison’s vision for Ora...

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

A Prescription-Strength Formula for Stronger Cybersecurity in Healthcare Organizations
The following is a guest article by Steven Stone, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs at Rubrik In early August, a ransomware attack disrupted operations across its network of 17 hospitals and more than 165 clinics in four states and forced some to rely on paper records. Some emergency rooms were shut down and ambulances diverted after the company took its computer systems offline to protect and restore them. Again. Here we go again. This is what most of us thought when we read this story. Cyberattacks on healthcare institutions are not only particularly galling, they’re growing. Healthcare organizations were hit with 1,426 attacks...

Support Growing for Pharmacists to Ease Physician Workload
In a recent survey, Surescripts found growing support for pharmacists to prescribe a select number of medications to patients, thus easing the workload on physicians. Technologies like direct messaging and record sharing is making this possible. Physician Shortage Physicians everywhere are overworked. This is especially true in primary care where there are not enough physicians to meet the growing patient demand. This is leading to access challenges and to burnout. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) predicts that by 2034 the US will be short: Between 17,800 and 48,000 primary care physicians Between 21,00...

How Policy Changes Can Fix Market Distortions in Healthcare and Improve the Country ’s Debt
The following is a guest article by Zach Markin, Co-Founder and CEO at HTD Health American healthcare is the most dysfunctional industry in our country. Historically, it is the most prolific driver of family bankruptcy, and now it is on its way to bankrupting our country collectively. A major justification for President Biden’s tax hike proposal is to shore up the tenuous finances of Medicare whose trust fund is forecasted to be depleted by 2028. While this is important, such efforts address the symptoms of a dysfunctional industry rather than the root causes. While the near-term liquidity and long-term financial health ...
