The Influence of Informatics on Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment and Management
Wednesday, May 25th, 2016
Neurodegenerative diseases (NGDs), such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, are particularly difficult diagnoses to receive, for both patients and caregivers. With no known cure, treatment becomes a series of management techniques, and the various ataxias and dementias associated with NGDs can become all-consuming and increasingly debilitating over time.

How Virtual and Augmented Reality Are Influencing the Future of Health Care
Wednesday, April 27th, 2016
Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR, respectively) have been an area of intrigue for some time now. Nearly 20 years ago, UTHealth was making news with virtual reality applications for health, and now the health care facilities that compose the Texas Medical Center are leading the way nationally.[1] Initially little more than a novelty, the technology is improving by leaps and bounds, and so are its practical applications, from improved physician training to pain management.

Who is ready for the Healthcare Payment Model change?
Wednesday, April 20th, 2016
- The healthcare industry is, as we know, ever-changing. New innovations are introduced, standards are updated and patient & provider needs are evolving. One current change taking place in the healthcare industry is the shift from the fee-for-service model to the value-based model. While this change seems congruent with all the others currently taking place in the healthcare industry, it appears organizations are not ready to embrace the new value-based model, which will “transform the way primary care is provided and reimbursed.”
This week’s infographic blog examines the results of the 2016 HIMSS Cost Accounting Survey that 102 finance professionals from healthcare provider organizations throughout the country participated in. The professionals were asked to speak to their organization’s preparedness for the move from the fee-for-service model to the value-based model.

Mobile Technology & the Evolution of Healthcare
Wednesday, March 9th, 2016
- In 2016, it is safe to say, that you know at least one person who regularly uses wearable technology to monitor her or his health. You might even know people who were able to learn extraordinary things by simply monitoring the results of their wearables. Last year, mHealthIntelligence.com noted that “the Center for Technology and Learning reported that the mHealth monitoring and medical device market may reduce healthcare spending in the US by $200 billion over the next 25 years." As the use of mobile technology grows, we are also seeing a rise in the ways in which the information being gathered can be used more efficiently.

Natural Language Processing: What is it and why is it important?
Wednesday, February 17th, 2016
In the realm of biomedical informatics there are few things as important as an understanding of natural language processing (NLP). After all, data is meaningless without analysis and context. We need to be able to interpret the information for it to be useful.Tweets
