You are Invited to a Better 2018!

First things first: In the coming weeks and months, iData will be hosting a livestream Clinical Documentation Webinar Series about a host of realtime hot-button topics including document integrity, auditing, security and business continuity, and backup vendor configurations. Remember, improvements always translate into uptick in patient satisfaction and revenues. Look for you invite!

Another year behind us, here are some things we’ve seen in 2017:

1. Inverted White House policies have giving way to ambiguous changes for insurance carriers, benefit allocations, physicians and hospital practices, and patients experience and costs. Several failed attempts to overhaul the Affordable Care Act have left stakeholders scrambling to predict what steps to take next.
2. The documentation field is almost all digital now, creating increased efficiencies, and giving way to greater opportunity for archiving, data analytics, improved efficiencies and revenue, and sadly, increased digital forensics.
3. Outsourcing both domestically and off-shore continues to grow substantially year-over-year. Despite HIPAA and international hacking allegations, improved and tightened digital security continues to outpace events like this year’s Nuance malware debacle.
4. The Nuance Petya malware revealed the width and depth of the cybersecurity vulnerabilities that exist in medical systems and platforms.  Moreover, it revealed that many facilities failed to employ (or even have) a robust Emergency Preparedness and Business Continuity Plans, including those that engage vetted backup vendors without missing a beat.
5. Litigation and enforcement around EHR and clinical documentation integrity faux pas (misdiagnosis and treatment, errors and data loss, underpayment and outright fraud, and other risky vulnerabilities) has caused an attention spike by just about everyone, including EHR and transcription system design vendors and providers.

So, what does it all mean in 2018? For iData, we see ourselves as part of the solution for healthcare facilities, clinics, and physicians. We’ll keep beating our drum:
