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.

Health-care reform is ushering in an era of more coverage plan choices for patients, and while more options can be empowering, it can also be confusing when trying to find the right plan. “Health-care reform provides insurance coverage for many people who may be locked out of the market today,” says Sean Kelly, chief medical officer at health care IT security company Imprivata. “However, even with the new reforms, insurers can still impose limits on the number of doctor's visits, prescriptions and days spent in the hospital.”
