TechTalks | Digital Transformation in Healthcare: Opportunities and Trendsrmcsoft
Of all the industries out there, healthcare has perhaps the most to gain from digital transformation. Technology can decrease wait times, reduce medical errors and increase collaboration across providers — all of which helps people find their way to better health and healthcare businesses achieve a better bottom line.
The problem is, healthcare has struggled more than pretty much any other industry out there to keep up with the times. Why is that? How do we buck the trend and begin to embrace the tremendous opportunity of digital transformation in healthcare? And who out there is already doing it really, really well?
RMCSoft and Advent Coworking brought together a panel of experts to dig into all of that at their TechTalks event on Tuesday, Jan. 22.
This fascinating conversation highlighted not only the challenges facing health care in the digital age, but also ideas and vision for a path forward.

Interoperability in Healthcare: Making the Most of FHIRHealth Catalyst
With the CMS and ONC March 2020 endorsement of HL7 FHIR R4, FHIR is positioned to grow from a niche application programming interface (API) standard to a common API framework. With broader adoption, FHIR promises to support expanding healthcare interoperability and prepare the industry for complex use cases by addressing significant challenges:
Engaging consumers.
Sharing data with modern standards.
Building a solid foundation for healthcare interoperability.
From Chaos to Catalyst: Five Imperatives for HealthcareCognizant
COVID-19 could be the catalyst for lasting change throughout the industry—if providers and payers make the right moves to respond to ongoing waves of the virus, reset operating models and reimagine their future roles in a world reshaped by the pandemic.
The Quality Payment Program offers a physician a choice of two paths for reimbursement:
The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Alternative payment models (APMs) which are further segregated into -Advanced and Non Advanced kinds.
Payers are being challenged as the industry shifts from volume-based care to a value-based reimbursement structure that would benefit the patient, the healthcare provider and the payer. New payment models including fee-for-service only and pay-for performance creates impetus for payers to acquire, aggregate, and analyze data.
New Global Healthcare Another Chapter In Healthcare Marketing Brand ManagementJGB1
Emerging healthcare markets are moving into new phases as access to care increases and clinical / payer administration becomes more established. Successful healthcare marketing ventures require a balanced clinical / cost value proposition based on each nation\'s specific healthcare delivery, government and payer model.
From surgical robots to “smart hospitals,” the digital transformation is revolutionizing patient care in new and exciting ways. Digital health technologies will transform healthcare, for example mobile phones have given health care providers the ability to engage with patients 24x7. We predict that these digital healthcare trends will emerge in 2017-18, which present an opportunity to use them to improve care and save costs. Let's take a look at what trends are shaping the future of digital healthcare, and what are the medical technologies to be adopted.

Top Healthcare and Revenue Cycle Trends to watch for in 2019Manish Jain
2017 required healthcare organizations to respond to several new challenges – political change, growing role of technology, shift to value-based care and the increasing role of information security. While we anticipate that these issues will continue to influence through 2018, we will also see new challenges. The blurring lines between providers and payers, a refocusing on care (and more so on the patient), and a changing policy environment will occupy the center stage for 2018.
in order to meet cost reduction targets, CMOs
* Share patient data across ecosystems
* Embed shared organizational intelligence
* Establish guidance for quality & cost within physician workflows
* Prepare physician leaders to create a culture of continual improvement
Harnessing the Power of Healthcare Data: Are We There YetHealth Catalyst
What can healthcare learn from Formula One racing? According to Dr. Sadiqa Mahmood, SVP of medical affairs and life sciences for Health Catalyst, race support teams leverage about 30TB of baseline data to create a digital twin of the car, track, and racer for simulation models that drive decisions at each race. Applied in the healthcare setting, a digital twin can help clinicians better understand each patient and their health conditions and circumstances in real time and make comprehensive, informed care decisions. But for the healthcare digital twin to happen, the industry must move away from data silos and towards a digital learning healthcare ecosystem.
Data-driven Healthcare for ManufacturersLindaWatson19
Medical Device Equipment and Hospital Supplies Manufacturers also face increased pressure to comply with strict regulatory procedures to ensure patient safety. Product transparency and efficient end-to-end processes that optimize the manufacturing process and decision making are very important.
Data-Driven Healthcare for Manufacturers Amit Mishra
Data-driven healthcare empowers the providers with a common data platform to discover untapped data-driven opportunities. Healthcare data and its impact on the patient care decision process via accurate, real-time, reliable data from disparate sources is creating a digital health revolution. Physician groups, nursing facilities, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, clinical researchers, and medical equipment manufacturers are all churning out vast amounts of data during their daily operations. This data has tremendous value and can revolutionize patient care, diagnosis, real-time decisions and help deliver new, unimagined innovations with quality of patient care.

The Best Storage For V Mware Environments Customer Presentation Jul201Michael Hudak
Server virtualization is being widely adopted throughout the industry. Server virtualization places new demands on the storage infrastructure that should be considered early in the design process. NetApp provides storage and data management solutions that uniquely enable effective server virtualization environments, and which further extend the benefits of server virtualization. In this presentation, we’ll review why NetApp is the best storage solution for virtualized server environments.
Desktop virtualization is a hot topic throughout the virtualization industry. Organizations view desktop virtualization as a way to control costs and use limited resources to manage large-scale desktop infrastructures while increasing security and deployment efficiency. NetApp, VMware, Cisco, Fujitsu, and Wyse joined forces to create an architectural design for a 50,000-seat VMware® View™ architecture. This project demonstrates the most reliable methods for deploying a scalable and easily expandable environment from 5,000 to 50,000 seats in an efficient manner.
