Healthcare has spent years connecting electronic systems. The goal is simple: patient information should flow seamlessly between providers. But in most practices today, that information still doesn’t arrive when you need it, or in the format you can actually use. Interoperability has been a federal priority for two decades. The latest CMS Interoperability Framework continues […]
Most practices assume their HIPAA-compliant patient forms meet all the standards. Your EHR probably mentioned form compliance in their materials. Patients log in, they fill out their intake paperwork from home, and it shows up in your system. Everything feels like it’s working the way it should.

Healthcare compliance changes are on the horizon. After over a decade, the Department of Health and Human Services is expected to finalize major updates to the HIPAA Security Rule in May that will transform how practices protect patient information from the moment it enters your system.

Using new tools creates new challenges. Sometimes those challenges are as minor, like a few minutes of additional training. But sometimes they’re bigger than that or just don’t seem like they’re worth the hassle. That’s one of the main reasons many medical practices have been hesitant about digitizing the patient’s experience. Many people haven’t been […]
