Three Boston area physicians, Dr. Stephen Parpos, Dr. Sara LeFleur and Dr. Alden Landry, joined us for our annual company meeting this past month to discuss IT challenges in healthcare. Moderated by our own Sean Kelly, the panel discussed issues with EMR access, communication challenges and the value of IT in the healthcare space. But in a field where every second counts, any process that slows or disrupts patient care will not do.
When it comes to battling COVID-19, did we leave our best players on the bench?

On April 21st, the HIT Policy Committee Certification/Adoption Workgroup held a meeting to discuss Electronic Health Record (EHR) usability.

What needs to be highlighted in these discussions is the difficulty physicians experience in accessing EHR and other healthcare IT systems.
Healthcare is experiencing an onslaught of challenges. The Covid-19 pandemic, increased cost and movement of labor, talent shortages, and the rise of telehealth options have upended the traditional healthcare environment. Cyberattacks pose more risk than ever, as government compliance measures and economic turbulence add to the overwhelming complexity. Naturally, healthcare demands continue unabated. Yet, there’s one challenge creating major barriers to growth: the lack of investment in aligned and integrated cybersecurity controls.
