CMIO News to Know for the Week of April 6th Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

More Coronavirus news this week. ONC basically suspends HIPAA so states and health departments can get the data they need without organizations worrying about HIPAA violations. I also discuss some telehealth items including a survey of 2000 adults where 72% of them didn't understand telehealth; important for us to know what the public thinks about telehealth. I also cover an article about cardiology burnout which once again people are probably over-attributing to the EHR. Finally, let me know what sites you use for following COVID-19 data. I found great graphs on http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/

CMIO News to Know for the Week of March 30 Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

Of course I cover Coronavirus, but it's from a CMIOs point of view. Telehealth is the big thing this week as systems try to stand up programs. I wrote an article in HealthTech Magazine (https://www.healthtechmagazines.com/coronavirus-pushes-telehealth-adoption-nationwide/) about getting up and running in under a week; not without speed-bumps, but we are conducting visits. I cover some of the hot topics being discussed in the AMDIS.org listserv, the stimulus bill from the government and how small independent practices are going to be seriously hurt financially, and I discuss two non-COVID articles as well just to give you a break. These two articles come from JAMIA. The first is about the EHR contributing to burnout and has some great metrics in there to consider for your own practices. The second is about the impact of moving external records into an integrated view has a huge impact on utilization of that data. Stay safe.

Imagine sitting in the exam room, talking to your patient, not touching the keyboard, and when you are done with the visit your note is ready for you to sign. This week I interview 2 CMIOs from Nuance and we discuss Ambient Artificial Intelligence. HIMSS didn't happen so I wasn't able to see this tool in person, but this technology is the future of medicine. This isn't a hypothetical situation. Ambient AI is working for 100,000 patient visits a month. Take a listen to hear how it is going.

Colin was a CMIO for a looong time before making the jump to the vendor side. He is now at DRFirst and he talks to us about making the transition. We review the skills to have, the war chest you need, and the gut check it takes to make the leap outside of the hospital world.

The Value of a Good Health Information Exchange with Dr. Samit Desai Mar 05, 2020

Show notes

As CMIOs we do not learn a lot about HIEs and there isn't a class you can go take to brush up on this topic. So to learn more, I interviewed the smartest person I know on the topic. Dr. Samit Desai is an emergency physician, and the chief medical officer at Audacious Inquiry, a company that partners with our state HIE (called CRISP). We discuss how HIEs help us with population health, how these entities function, and where we hope to get to with improved interoperability.
