Webinar - Telehealth: Bridging the Doctor-Patient DivideCareSkore
Do you risk negative outcomes due to poor patient engagement? Without technology, you can’t fully enlist patients to participate in their own care. This leads to rising no-show rates, medication non-adherence, and uninformed patient decisions, resulting in readmissions, lower MIPS scores, and lower reimbursements.

Connecting Patient Monitoring Devices to EHRsAn electronic health .pdfeyebolloptics
Connecting Patient Monitoring Devices to EHRs
An electronic health record (EHR) is a computer-readable record of health-related information
on an individual. The compiled data in an EHR can include information about patient
demographics, medical history, family history, immunization records, labotary data, ongoing
health problems, progress notes, medications, vital signs, and radiology reports. Ideally, EHRs
incorporate data from all healthcare facilities a patient uses, making the data easily accessible to
healthcare professionals.
EHRs hold out the promise of improving health care and reducing costs, but for now, many
hospitals are struggling to automate the capture of raw data from the various patient monitoring
devices - such as vital sign monitors, ventilators, and electrocardiagram machines - and pass the
data directly into each patient\'s EHR. This task is made more difficult because different devices
and/or vendors often use different standards for communicating over the network. As a result,
specialized software is required to receive the data and translate it into a form suitable for
updating the EHR. Until communications standards implemented across the healthcare industry,
each new piece of monitoring equipment that outputs a nonstandard signal requires a new
interface with the EHR. So if a promising new vital sign monitoring device is developed, some
hospitals looking to use the device may be required to create a new software middleware layer to
connect the new device to the EHR. Connecting monitoring devices and EHRs is expected to
become a major business growth area over the next decade.
Many software vendors and device manufacturers are moving quickly to capitalize on the
opportunities involved with automating the many clinical-support activities that involve
minotoring devices. THe center for Medical Interoperability has enlisted many of the nation\'s
largest healthcare systems as part of its effort to strongly encourage device vendors to adopt
communications standards that will ease the problems with interoperablity. The FDA is working
to encourage the development of interoperable devices by defining some 25 device standards.
Solving the interoperability problem will require an agreement on standards through the
cooperation of multiple shareholders.
1. What benefits can be achieved through the successful implementation of EHRs? What
additional benefits will be gained by feeding data directly from patient monitoring devices
directly into EHRs?
2. Can you identify any legal, ethical, or social concerns with the use of EHRs? What additional
concerns arise from connecting patient monitoring devices to the IoT?
3. What actions need to be taken by EHR software vendors, patient monitoring device vendors,
government agencies, and hospital administrators to enable patient monitoring devices to be
safely and reliably connected to EHRs?

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
