With the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), connected biomedical technology has provided a rich opportunity for healthcare to improve lives and patient outcomes. However, it has also increased fears among IT leaders in hospitals and healthcare facilities that with the proliferation of these IoT medical devices comes some very real threats to protected health information and to financial and patient safety risks, according to a new infographic by Comport Technology Solutions.
The infographic examines how why cyber criminals target healthcare organizations, the most likely types of cyberattack events targeting healthcare and how healthcare IT is focusing security efforts on IoT to mitigate threats.
Not in recent history has the outcome of a U.S. presidential election portended so much for the healthcare industry. Will the Trump administration repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA)? What will be the fate of MACRA? Will Medicare and Medicaid survive?
These and other uncertainties compound an already daunting landscape that is steering healthcare organizations toward value-based care and alternative payment models and challenging them to up their quality game.

Shared infrastructure for information exchange via a blockchain in healthcare can eliminate duplication of healthcare services among treating physicians and improve care coordination, according to a new infographic by Gem.
The infographic demonstrates how the blockchain is used as a common registry for medical records between providers.
Encouraged by early success in coaching 23 patients to wellness at home via remote monitoring, CHRISTUS Health expanded its remote patient monitoring (RPM) enrollment to 170 high-risk, high-cost patients. At that scaling-up juncture, the challenge for CHRISTUS shifted to balancing its mission of keeping patients healthy and in their homes with maintaining revenue streams sufficient to keep its doors open in a largely fee-for-service environment.
Remote Patient Monitoring for Chronic Condition Management: Leveraging Technology in a Value-Based System chronicles the evolution of the CHRISTUS RPM pilot, which is framed around a Bluetooth®-enabled monitoring kit sent home with patients at hospital discharge.
