As healthcare transitions from a fee-for-service to a pay-for-performance model to improve patient engagement and outcomes, the future of care delivery for organizations centers on a network of IP-connected computers, sensors, and devices through which doctors, nurses, and patients can securely share information. In this HIMSS industry solutions and healthcare IT news webinar, David Bratt, Director of Technology Services at Miami’s Children’s Health System, Matt Crawford, Director of Solutions Marketing at Citrix, and David Ting, Imprivata’s co-founder and CTO, talk about how the “Internet of (Healthcare) Things” (IoHT) minimizes the need for direct patient-physician interaction while allowing providers to deliver more personalized treatments, using patient health information from wearables in a secure and reliable way.
I know where I’ll be, at Imprivata HealthCon! The Imprivata HealthCon 2012 User Conference kicks off with an evening event on Tuesday, November 6th followed by two days of Healthcare IT sessions on topics such as EMR Adoption, HIPAA/HITECH compliance and Stage 2 Meaningful Use.
In New Medicare Card is just like other big changes CMS has made, right?, the scale of the change presented by MACRA’s New Medicare Card initiative was compared to other recent changes the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented. These included the introduction of the Medicare Part D program, and the rollout of the Medicaid expansion and The Affordable Care Act exchanges in 2014.
With the rise in adoption of new technology in the healthcare industry, robust, network-connected medical devices are rapidly becoming critical tools used during the course of patient care. According to a recent study by Research and Markets, the rapid growth of the medical device market will continue steadily (4.5% CAGR) over the next five years, and culminate in 2023 with over $409.5B in market value.
Earlier this month, the GAO (Government Accountability Office) released a report long-anticipated by Imprivata and those following commitments outlined in the 21st Century Cures Act. In that 2016 legislation, the Government promised to review efforts to match patients’ electronic health records across healthcare providers.
The HIMSS18 Conference & Exhibition (March 5-9 in Las Vegas) kicked off yesterday, and we’re already getting great feedback on the Imprivata-Welch Allyn integrated solution for medical devices. Soon to be globally available for both Welch Allyn Connex® Spot Monitor and Welch Allyn Connex® Vital Signs Monitor, you can get a preview demo of this integrated solution on both devices at Imprivata booth #2854 and Welch-Allyn booth #3249.
Not only is multifactor authentication a critical tool for healthcare organizations looking to improve security and compliance, but it’s also a way to develop trust with patients. With 536 breaches in healthcare in the past year resulting from phishing attacks and stolen and weak passwords, it’s no wonder that patients question the security of their personal health information.
As part of their Signature Learning Series, The American Hospital Association (AHA) recently featured a presentation from Mahaska Health Partnership, “Secure PHI and Ensure Clinician Productivity Using Lean.”
Through the use of Lean practices, the team at Mahaska Health Partnership, a 25-bed critical access hospital, applied Lean time savings study practices to determine the true impact that securing PHI would have on clinician productivity—in terms of real minutes translated into cost.
Full disclosure: I'm just a medium-sized hospital's IT security guy. I've had Imprivata'sESSO appliance (three of them actually, a pair of HA, and a test box) up and running, happily, for about three years. I was invited by Imprivata and Ping Identity to participate in a panel discussion at the SSO Summit held in Keystone, CO, on July 23-25 (http://www.ssosummit.com/).
Andre Durand (Ping Identity) and friends put on a very nice event. There was a good blend of topics, from SSO-centric details, to Federation issues, and a mixture of interesting case studies to visionary presenters like John Haggard (independent security consultant and long-time IT mentor) and Gunnar Peterson (Arctec Group). The event was solid throughout, but to hear John and Gunnar speak about the important issues of the past and future of SSO and IT/Web security, made the event a powerful experience not to be missed.
