The Cure for Rural Hospitals: More “Country Doctors”

April 10, 2019 by Healthcare Business Today Team Leave a Comment

The prognosis for rural hospitals is not a positive one. According to the North Carolina Rural Health Research Program, 90 rural hospitals have closed nationwide since 2010. A 2015 study sponsored by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) indicates that 673 rural hospitals, or one in three, is under financial duress, with 210 at risk of closure.

There are various reasons why rural hospitals are struggling, a key one being lack of physicians willing to practice in rural areas. The NRHA reports that approximately 1,000 physicians a year discontinue rural practice due to retirement, relocation, disability or death, while only about 700 take their place.

The result is that access to medical services in rural areas continues to decline. As of July, 2018 there were 6,739 Health Care Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) for primary care in the United States, about double the number identified by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) 15 years ago. Over 65 million people live in a primary care HPSA and 67 percent of HPSAs are in rural areas. The ratio of primary care providers to patients in these areas is less than one per 3,000. HRSA projects it would take over 17,000 additional primary care clinicians to achieve a ratio of one primary care doctor per 3,000 patients in the nation’s 6,700-plus HPSAs.

Virtual Desktops: Healthcare’s Next Highly Unsecure Convenience

January 14, 2015 by Healthcare Business Today Team Leave a Comment

Virtual desktops have a place, and they can be very useful for a number of environments across a number of sectors. They allow for a variety of users to log in and work from a single computer or work station, allowing the user to interface with his or her systems in a virtualized environment — which is stored on a remote server rather than on a local machine – but these environments separate the physical machine from their software and present an isolated operating system for users.

Therefore, the use of virtual desktops is fairly common in healthcare as hospitals continue to seek solutions that create efficiencies; in this case, an environment where doctors are moving from room to room and need to work from different computers in different locations.

While virtual desktops as a concept can be beneficial to an organization, if used alone they can produce a variety of issues and limitations for those using them. For example, using hospital employees as an example again, as a group they tend to move from work station to work station frequently, logging into their applications and systems on a variety of workstation and switching between computers. Do so each time an employee switches computers is a major inconvenience, not to mention time consuming. Further, new and ever-changing regulations may prohibit the use of any type of shared account commonly found in a virtual desktop environment. For this reason, this is why many organizations have realized that the benefits of a virtual desktop can be made even greater if used in conjunction with a single sign-on or other automated access management solution.

Why is software not enough to ensure data collection in the OR?

So, you’ve invested in technology, trained the medical staff, upgraded to an EHR system, updated the hospital SKUs – and still the compliance rate of usage reporting inside the operating room is low, the reports are inaccurate, the charges are missing, and countless coding errors occur. This means that the hospital has trouble meeting FDA requirements regarding digital updates to the patient’s file, its inventory isn’t efficiently managed, and it is losing money, a lot of money – needlessly so.

Many hospitals attempt to deal with these challenges by purchasing supply chain management software. By 2026, the healthcare information industry is forecasted to grow by 8.2%. It seems that wherever we turn, we hear terms like Data Mining, Data Analysis, Big Data. Hospitals utilize advanced software solutions to improve processes, streamline workflow, and optimize resources. Yet while these solutions specialize in data management and analysis procurement processes, they are not suited to the specific needs and work conditions in hospitals, resulting in deficient data collection.

Any effective solution must answer the changing and exclusive needs of operating rooms, which differ greatly from other work areas.

For instance, the process of dispensing of items is carried out in the OR by the medical staff, which does not specialize in supply management. In many ways, this process diverges from that of other logistics systems, in which the dispensing is done in a dedicated area such as the cashier or in the warehouse, against a receipt or a delivery request.

Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing segments of the digital universe, with data volumes expected to grow by 48% annually. Healthcare applications will be the principal driver of this data growth, with EHR penetration in the US already reaching over 80% and expected to reach 95% by 2020.

In addition, the healthcare space has matured to the point where EHR replacement has become commonplace, and up to 50% of health systems are projected to be on second-generation technology by the year 2020.
