Our Vice President of Business Development Greg Miller was recently quoted in a Healthcare IT News article on the reaction to the Department of Health and Human Services final rule that levies financial penalties on provider organizations found to have committed information blocking. “Data is the single most important ingredient in our ability as a nation to transform healthcare,” Greg said. “The access and dissemination of quality data is essential to improving patient outcomes. Limiting data access and interoperability is harmful to patient care quality, increases costs, and substantially reduces customer (patient) satisfaction.” Read what other leaders have to say about the final rule here: https://lnkd.in/g_dTBwrs #HealthData #EHR #HealthcareLeaders #Interoperability

C-suite leaders and other executives from EHR, analytics, clinical automation and managed services firms see enforcement of the new Cures Act final rule as an overdue "step in the right direction."   "I admire the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for enacting the 21st Century Cures Act," said Jay Anders, MD, chief medical officer at Medicomp Systems. "The stringent penalties it now imposes serve as a strong impetus for compliance. It's important to remember that patients suffer when their medical records are not readily available when needed. If we are to bend the cost curve in American healthcare, a full medical record for each patient must be available. The lack of shared patient information is not only costly but has the potential to be deadly."   Read the full story from Mike Miliard via Healthcare IT News: https://bit.ly/3Wdf7JI | #CuresRuleONC #Interoperability #HealthData #PtSafety

Today’s Blue Friday is a reminder to health tech vendors that when health systems evaluate new technology, they are deciding whether or not they can trust the company to (in rough order of importance): > Not increase their risk/exposure to cyber attack > Deliver on the value they’ve promised > ensure that the technology is meaningfully adopted > work alongside care teams, administrators and support roles to overcome the hurdles incumbent in every implementation Adoption of innovation is, at its core, about trust. #healthtech #digitalhealth
