Liquid Based Microbiology Simplify Sample Collection and Transport to Improve Patient Care

Digital endpoints offer significant opportunities to improve what we know about patients’ biologic processes and responses, as well as how they feel, function, and survive in both clinical trials and routine clinical care.

As healthcare contends with emerging security threats and new workflow regulations, multifactor authentication (MFA) is as important as ever.

And, there are specific clinical workflows that require MFA that must be considered as part of a broader strategy. In October, a new federal law was passed that mandates electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS) though Medicare Part D.

These inequities can be difficult to address, however, one tool has the potential to bridge significant gaps: patient engagement technology.

John Sharp, Senior Manager of Consumer Health IT with HIMSS, will share how the growing availability of consumer wearables, home IoT smart devices, and smart homes create an opportunity for a connected life which supports health. Join us to discuss examples of how: Consumers are increasingly aware of how technology and apps can engage them in healthier lifestyles. Remote patient monitoring is increasingly being used to monitor chronic conditions and showing success in reducing hospital admissions for some (KLAS Report).
