It's wild to think in 2024 we're FIRST seeing the DOJ accuse telemedicine conglomerates of criminal drug distribution. How long have we known about these practices in brick and mortar care...? Answer: decades! Take it from someone who prescribed stimulants and other psychotropics to kids over the years - painstakingly measuring and documenting the need and impact - these appalling abuses by Done and Cerebral mean we need more calls for thoughtful pause when it comes to working with startups. Particularly about funding's role - my favorite topic! 🤑 How did we end up with venture capital and PE financing in healthcare that risk the safety of kids in the name of exorbitant returns? Not that all VC or PE dollars are bad, of course, but they're certainly key drivers who shouldn't be in that seat. Did we underestimate these funders as 'barbarians at the gate', much like the pharma reps of the 90's and early 2000's heyday? Have we not learned from Purdue Pharma's aggressive and deadly Oxoycontin marketing? Purdue pleaded guilty to criminal charges and paid $600 million in fines in 2007. Or TAP Pharmaceutical Products's Lupron kickback scheme for the prostate cancer drug? TAP also pleaded guilty to criminal charges and paid $875 million in fines in 2001. Or Pfizer marketing Neurontin, an anti-seizure drug, for off-label uses, such as treating pain and bipolar disorder, even though the drug was not approved for these purposes, and paying physicians kickbacks. In 2004, Pfizer pleaded guilty to criminal charges and paid $430 million in fines. Cerebral and Done's playbooks were practically the same thing, just with a modern mid-pandemic, low-regulatory scrutiny, digital-platform twist. Will appropriate regulation ever outpace American venture greed? Is it even possible to ensure patient safety AHEAD of tragedies driven by the intersection of innovation and venture funding? If you're keeping score, healthcare regulatory reactivity: 1 million. Healthcare ounces of smartly preventive policy: 3. Blech. 😖 When will we finally own that prevention in-house? #healthcare #overdoseprevention #suicideprevention

If you're worried about building trust in AI maybe quit (obsessively) talking about it so much in your marketing/messaging/positioning. Seriously, the only people who truly care about your tech stack are VCs....customers/users sure don't. Tell me how your solution helps me and quit wasting my time telling me how you built it and what's under the hood. #ai #generativeai #healthcareai #medicalai #software #applications #saas #cloud #marketing #messaging #positioning #strategy #gotomarket https://lnkd.in/gWuf8Yc9

I’ve been given advice that the fastest way to monetize HER Heard without charging the end user (woman) is trackers and selling data. Instead, I’d like to build something more trustworthy. I don’t want to be in a headline like this. If you are not paying, then you are the product (you/your data are being sold). There are newer ways to deindentify data or even to aggregate things women search for that can be of interest to various stakeholders. In theory that could be okay to sell, but in a post-Roe world with laws encouraging bounty hunting, I am vetting the choices ahead. I am all for moving fast, without breaking things.

Information Systems Research (ISR) has recently published a new article to the Articles in Advance page:   Article Title "How Hospitals Differentiate Health Information Technology Portfolios for Clinical Care Efficiency: Insights from the HITECH Act"   Authors Jessica Pye (deceased), Arizona State University Arun Rai, Georgia State University John Qi Dong, National Technological University, Singapore   Problem definition We examine how hospitals differentiate their HIT portfolios in response to cost inefficiencies in clinical care processes and HIT policy uncertainty.   Relevance Adapting HIT portfolios to address cost-based shortfalls and policy uncertainty is crucial in shaping service delivery and impacting care costs, making it a key concern for policymakers and hospital decision-makers. Theoretical foundations We combine behavioral theory and institutional theory to explain how hospitals differentiate their HIT portfolios through idiosyncratic learning in response to cost-based performance shortfalls and shifting isomorphic pressures from changes in HIT policy uncertainty.   Methodology We constructed a panel dataset of 11,316 hospital-year observations from 3,319 U.S. hospitals over 2007–2014 to investigate how hospitals’ HIT search differentiation is influenced by cost-based performance shortfalls and policy uncertainty during the phases of the HITECH Act, from conceptualization to enactment to enforcement.   Results Our research provides a key insight: Moderate policy uncertainty, particularly during the HITECH Act's phases, significantly shapes hospitals' search for novel HIT solutions to address performance shortfalls. Hospitals enhance their search differentiation when uncertainty decreases from conceptualization to enactment but reduce it as uncertainty diminishes from enactment to enforcement.   Contributions Our findings surface the utility of combining the behavioral theory of the firm with institutional theory to explain the interdependence among a hospital’s cost-based performance shortfalls, HIT policy uncertainty, and HIT search differentiation. They show how hospital managers and policymakers can reorient their strategies to leverage the interdependencies among these elements, thereby encouraging the pursuit of innovative HIT systems over widespread imitation, to effectively address cost-based performance shortfalls in hospitals.   Short quote Unlocking Healthcare Innovation: hospitals excel in deploying new technologies through peer benchmarking and navigating moderate regulatory uncertainty. Dive into our research to see the transformative impact of this benchmarking strategy combined with moderate policy uncertainty!"   #HealthcareInnovation #HITECHAct #PolicyImpact   Keywords search differentiation, health information technology, performance shortfalls, policy uncertainty, behavioral theory of the firm, institutional theory   Link to article: https://lnkd.in/djh84uad

I get Dr. Yang's concern about large, wealthier health systems adopting AI sooner than smaller, poorer organizations, but this is actually a good thing...unless your time horizon is myopically short. Big organizations, with much larger budgets and sophisticated IT teams, can afford to take risks, make mistakes, and test out exciting (but still unproven) emerging tech while smaller organizations certainly can't (for the most part). So let the behemoths take all the risk, do the heavy lifting first, and then smaller organizations get to adopt truly proven solutions at lower risks/prices...once these have run the Kaiser, Mayo, Intermountain, etc., gauntlet. It's all part of the plan... #healthcare #startups #startup #ai #generativeai #digitalhealth #emergingtech Kaiser Permanente Cleveland Clinic Mayo Clinic Risant Health Intermountain Health https://lnkd.in/gckgQB_q

Healthcare has made improvements but there's still a long way to go to become truly digital-first. While we've seen advancements in telemedicine, electronic health records, and AI-driven diagnostics, the journey to fully integrate these technologies into everyday practice is far from complete. And the “door” to care – patient navigation – needs a lot of work. If we don't evolve, patient's will find others who do! https://lnkd.in/eSJKiHSR #patientcentricity #digitalfirst #digitaltransformation #patientnavigation

Radiologists are achieving payments 500% above the Qualified Payment Amount (QPA) in surprise billing disputes, thanks to the No Surprises Act. This figure is staggering and highlights an important reality: many providers might not realize the tremendous potential of this opportunity. When the No Surprises Act (NSA) was enacted in 2022, the rates at which providers were reimbursed took a major hit, often cut in half. Payors exploited the QPA to justify lower payments, essentially giving themselves the green light to underpay claims. If a provider disagreed with the payment, they had to navigate the cumbersome claims process to recover what they deserved. But here’s the good news: By participating in the IDR process, radiologists are claiming up to 5 times their initial payments. This result is a powerful incentive for payers to engage in a meaningful negotiation and ensure fair compensation. Providers should leverage the NSA to their advantage - and capture every dollar they’re owed.

Getting through the Noise:: What's the path forward for virtual care and smart hospitals? Live with with Bruce Brandes of care.ai at the American Telemedicine Association #Nexus2024   Listen Here: https://lnkd.in/g8eg53pv   In the era of Virtual Care and Smart Hospitals, considerations abound as leaders are exploring technology and cost justifications at scale-- How can we take an enterprise platform approach to virtual care? For buyers and leaders, exploring tech and cost justifications at scale, along with trust and cybersecurity, are essential for making the right bets.   In my discussion with Bruce Brandes live at ATA Nexus24 in Phoenix, he mentions how H. Stephen Lieber, former CEO of HIMSS, is helping to define smart hospitals and build an instrument to understand where it is today, where it's going, and where it aspires to be.   Currently, CHIME and 70 healthcare execs representing c-suites across the entire spectrum of healthcare are working together with representatives from American Organization for Nursing Leadership, Joint Commission, The Leapfrog Group, Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) and more to amass multiple perspectives for smart hospital models including clinical, financial, operational, and policy implications.   After completing a survey instrument this Fall, results will be revealed at the CHIME Fall Forum. Ultimately, the goal is to filter out noise and confusion amidst all the enthusiasm; helping leaders move forward decisively with clarity with execution. #virtualnursing #virtualcare #CHime #ATA #digitalhealth

Breaking News: Telehealth Extension Likely on the Horizon Congress is close to finalizing an end-of-year healthcare package that could extend Medicare telehealth flexibilities for two years! 🩺💻 Here's what we know so far: ✅ A two-year telehealth extension for Medicare patients. ✅ A one-year extension of pre-deductible telehealth coverage for high-deductible health plans tied to HSAs. ✅ A five-year renewal of CMS' hospital-at-home waiver. The deal also includes funding for community health centers, a physician pay bump, and support for substance use disorder prevention programs. With a government funding deadline looming on Dec. 20, lawmakers are racing against the clock. If the healthcare package stalls, a short-term extension might still be included in a continuing resolution. 💬 What does this mean for patients, providers, and the future of telehealth?
