In the midst of the ‘Great Resignation’ era, where top talent is reevaluating their professional choices, leaders are faced with a pivotal challenge: how to surpass the changing expectations of their employees.

Workplace loyalty is no longer guaranteed, and the days when a steady paycheck and basic benefits were enough to satisfy employees are a thing of the past. Workers now seek purpose, growth opportunities, and an environment that fuels their passion….”

Age Tech: Supporting Better Patient Outcomes in Senior Care

“Your grandparent has arthritis in their knees, which can make it difficult for them to walk around their home. What if they had access to robot limbs to help them move around more independently without experiencing pain? Your parent has been diagnosed with a heart condition, and your entire family is constantly worried about their health. What if a device worn on their wrist could monitor their vitals all day, alerting you and their caregivers of anything concerning…”

A New Trend in Virtual Care: Provider Collaboration

In a recent article in Physicians Practice, Joel Landau writes,

As we move into the third year of the pandemic, virtual care, or telehealth, has become a common way for healthcare providers to diagnose, treat, and communicate with patients. Healthcare systems in the future will need to deliver more accessible care. Collaborative and team-based care are interchangeable terms that define a scenario where patient-care coordination is utilized across different specializations and healthcare settings...”

New Methods for Diagnosing Mild Cognitive Impairment

In a recent article in Provider Magazine, Joel Landau writes,

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an illness that impacts 20 percent of seniors worldwide but is difficult to detect—so much so that only recently was it clinically defined. Frequently dismissed as the sort of memory loss that impacts many people aged 65 and above, MCI leads to Alzheimer’s disease 30 to 50 percent of the time a patient is diagnosed with the disorder…”

Mayo Clinic Gives Blockchain Another Try; Will It EVER Catch On In The Healthcare Sector?

Blockchain, a decentralized, immutable ledger most often associated with cryptocurrency, has great potential within the healthcare industry – potential to address privacy and data-security concerns. Potential to ward off cyberattacks. Potential, even, to make the payment process more efficient.

Blockchain can also aid in matters such as medication adherence and blockchain management, but widespread adoption has yet to take place. As Kali Dugampudi, chief technology officer at the healthcare payments company Zelis, told Healthcare IT News in a July 2022 interview, the sector has been “notoriously slow to adopt new technology,” meaning that we are “likely still years away from the healthcare industry widely adopting blockchain technology.”

Why Artificial Intelligence Will Play a Vital Role in ‘Work of the Future’

The pandemic has pushed many businesses to “the most important pivot point of the past couple years,” as Dannielle Appelhans, COO of the Massachusetts-based biopharmaceutical firm Rubius Therapeutics, said in a piece on the MIT Sloan website. Appelhans added that there now appears to be “a path to move forward into what will be our new normal, or our ‘work of the future.’”

No sector has been impacted as dramatically and obviously as healthcare. In the early weeks and months of the outbreak, organizations found themselves pushed to the breaking point by a large influx of patients. As a result, those organizations were left searching for time-efficient and cost-efficient ways to deal with a wide array of operational, clinical, and administrative challenges.

Artificial intelligence often proved to be the antidote, and is expected to be an even greater factor going forward, given the increased pressure clinicians face to produce accurate documentation as a result of value-based payment models. In addition, healthcare systems are continually striving to meet the challenges presented by a population that is growing older and older.

Straddling the Gap Between Institutional and At-Home Care for Seniors

From our Chairman Joel Landau this month in Senior Lifestyle Magazine, he writes,

One of the most significant trends in healthcare in recent years has been the expansion of personalized medicine and concierge services. This is especially true for older Americans, who, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, have taken advantage of remote care—telemedicine, remote chronic condition monitoring, etc.—and are becoming more familiar with using technology at home.

While many seniors are comfortable entering skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), more and more prefer to remain in their homes as long as possible…”
