In this episode we discuss the promise and reality of Interoperability and Precision Medicine and whether these are just the latest buzz words or something we can really begin to leverage to impact the treatment and care of our patients.  We talk with a 25 year veteran of Health IT, Alan Portela, about this important topic.   Visit us at www.HealthcareTechTalk.net Twitter https://twitter.com/Healthtechtalkn LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthcare-tech-talk?trk=biz-companies-cym Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Healthcare-Tech-Talk/711048778947195

Healthcare Tech Talk- Exploring how technology can help meet the challenges in Healthcare.

HTT 61- Interoperability, the key to precision medicine?

We are all unique individuals, therefore what works for one patient may not work for another. No longer is trial and error and acceptable approach to treating patients, it is time to use Big Data to help deliver the most precise medicine and most appropriate treatments to meet our patients needs.  Today we talk with Paul D'Alessandro, the Global Sales, Marketing and Customer Experience Practice Leader for PwC about how Big Data is enable better healthcare.

HTT 60- Big Data enabling Precision Medicine

We have been on a bit of a summer hiatus here at Healthcare Tech Talk, but we are back in the editing room and ready to begin publishing new episodes. Today though we present to you an important episode of the AAMI Podcast. If you enjoy it please subscribe to the show. Hospitals are under pressure to draft and implement comprehensive policies that show they have a handle on the crucial patient safety issue of alarm fatigue. There’s been an explosion in the number of medical devices with alarms and alerts, resulting in a noisy healthcare setting and desensitizing clinicians to the meaning or importance of alarms. With more alarms going off, the intended goal of alerting clinicians to true emergencies has been diminished, and patient safety has been imperiled. Ronald Wyatt, MD, the patient safety officer and medical director at The Joint Commission and Maria Cvach, DNP, CCRN, director of policy management and integration for the Johns Hopkins Health System in Baltimore, MD,  talk about what hospitals should be doing—and how they can make a positive difference with effective clinical alarm management.

HTT 59- Clinical Alarm Management

A string of recent, highly publicized "Ransomware" attacks have many healthcare organizations and their vendors scrambling to protect themselves and spurred the FBI to publish a Flash Alert. These attacks are a fairly new paradigm for hospitals after years of protecting themselves from the theft of patient information, hospitals now must worry about the encryption and potential destruction of their data. These attacks seem to be cruder and easier to carry out, but could be even more disruptive and damaging to a healthcare organization. Today we talk with two experts about how organizations can begin taking the fundamental steps required to protect themselves. Brad Taylor is CEO of Proficio, a leading Managed Security Services Provider. He has 20+ years’ experience in creating services that safeguard enterprise networks against cyber threats, with strong focus on healthcare environments and highly regulated industries.  Adam Laub, Senior Vice President, Product Marketing, STEALTHbits Technologies. He is responsible for setting product strategy, defining future roadmap, driving strategic sales engagements, supporting demand generation activities, enabling the sales organization and all aspects of product evangelism.    Please give us a 5 star review in iTunes, Stitcher, or Tunein if you appreciate the show!

HTT 58- Ransomware hits multiple Healthcare organizations, are you prepared?

In 1956 the first practical implementation of a paging system was setup to pager physicians in New York.  Fast forward 60 years and pagers seem to be making healthcare their final stand. The modern healthcare environment is much more demanding and complex than in 1956.  Alerts from clinical systems, order notifications from the EMR and messages between clinicians not only need to be routed properly, they need to be acknowledged. Today we talk with Marc Ladin, Chief Marketing Officer of Tiger Text, about a recent study regarding the Hidden Cost of Pagers in Healthcare and the possibilities of a secure messaging platform.   Visit us at www.HealthcareTechTalk.net Twitter https://twitter.com/Healthtechtalkn LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthcare-tech-talk?trk=biz-companies-cym Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Healthcare-Tech-Talk/711048778947195  

HTT 57- Is your Healthcare organization ready to ditch pagers yet?

Many Healthcare organizations have had love hate relationship with Social Media given privacy concerns, the belief the that social media is what you do in your spare time and other reasons.  In fact many of us can remember when access was blocked for every computer in our organization.  You have to meet your patients where they are though and increasingly that is on Social Media. In this episode, recorded at HIMSS16, we talk with Jan Oldenburg about various strategies that Healthcare organizations can use to get the most out of their Social Media engagement efforts.

HTT 54- Cancer MoonShot 2020, seeking the cure for cancer.

In this episode, we talk with Micheal Archuleta. Micheal has been acknowledged as Becker's Healthcare's top 100 CIOs and his organization, Mt. San Rafael, has been awarded "2015 Most Wired Hospitals".  Micheal provides us his thoughts on what he feels healthcare organizations need to focus on in 2016.

HTT 53- A CIO's perspective on HIMSS16 and the challenges of the coming year;

Sepsis affects over 1,000,000 patients and causes 280,000 deaths per year, 82 people are affected by a Hospital Acquired Infection every hour, 217 patients are affected every hours by a preventable Adverse Drug Event, CMS fined healthcare organizations more than 420 million dollars in 2015. In the face of these issues and many more, Healthcare organizations are starting to turn to real-time clinical intelligence to help make a serious impact on the well being of their patients. Today we talk with Adam Klass and Tim Morin of Vigilanz about how their Enterprise Intelligence Resources Platform can help healthcare organizations in this effort.

HTT 52- Can Real-Time Clinical Intelligence save lives?

The use of Big Data in healthcare is the hot topic, but experts estimate that less than 6% of all organizations have a successful implementation.  With typical implementations requiring substantial investment and challenging support requirements, many Healthcare organizations see Big Data out of their reach.  Ed Simcox, United States Healthcare Practice Leader for Logicalis, joins us to discuss how some organizations are tackling this challenge.

HTT 51- Is Big Data too big for healthcare?

Far too often Healthcare providers aren’t talking to each other – patients don’t know this. If you visit the ER, does your Primary Care Physician have a clue, does your dialysis provider? Are you sure? In this episode we are joined by Joseph Mayer, MD. He is the co-founder and CEO of Cureatr, which provides seamless communication between doctors, streamlined workflows and real-time mobile push notifications to alert care providers when their patients are treated in any care setting within their region. Joe's inspiration to start Cureatr came during his residency at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. Immersed in the fast-paced ER, he lived the time-delay frustration of tracking down primary care physicians to alert them about patient treatment. He knew that he could speed this communication, reduce admin work to save time, human resources and dollars. Joe launched the pilot for Cureatr while at Mt. Sinai and his quick expansion, with a national presence on the near horizon, coincided with the seismic healthcare shift of fee-for-service to value-based. Healthcare providers, in this new landscape of risk and responsibility, need a seamless approach for better care coordination among a community of care providers.
