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...”

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.
