Kaiser Permanente to open medical school in 2020 with focuses on data, virtual reality
The school is designed to teach students how to use technology to deliver high-quality care in new and collaborative ways. Physician burnout is rampant and todays technologies, notably EHRs are widely cited as being among the chief reasons.Its also worth noting, of course, that Epic Systems CEO Judy Faulkner last week at HIMSS19 countered that consensus by telling Healthcare IT News in an interview that recent research shows theres not a high correlation between happiness with the EHR and happiness with their job and the problem of burnout.At the same time, technologies are also viewed as holding the potential to restore humanity to healthcare and bring back the joy of medicine.

More consumers are using digital health to manage complex health conditions, Rock Health says
The report also showed a decline in consumers' willingness to share data with healthcare stakeholders. As the adoption of digital health continues to climb among consumers, how customers are using that technology is evolving. Instead of a narrow focus on general health and fitness, users are starting to employ digital health to manage complex conditions, according to a recent Rock Health study. Consumers continue to go digital and are now doing so not just out of curiosity or for general fitness and well-being but with the intention to address concrete health needs, authors of the report wrote. More Americans use digital health to manage diagnoses, connect with providers, and make critical healthcare decisions, than ever before. More >>

FDA grants De Novo clearance to interoperable insulin pump
The Tandem Diabetes Care t:Slim X2 can work in tandem with other blood sugar management devices, or on its own. Last week the FDA granted its first marketing authorization to an interoperable insulin pump that is compatible with automated insulin dosing systems, continuous glucose monitors, blood glucose meters and other diabetes therapy devices built by different manufacturers.The Tandem Diabetes Care t:Slim X2 insulin pump was reviewed through the De Novo premarket review pathway, making it the first of a new medical device category called Alternate Controller Enabled (ACE) infusion pumps. Intended for use by both adults and children with diabetes, the digital device automatically receives insulin dosing commands from a diabetes management device once connected, or can independently infuse insulin when it is on its own.Diabetes is a complicated disease that requires close monitoring and carefully tailored treatments, FDA Comissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said in a statement. Weve heard from the patient community that having the ability to customize their own diabetes management devices is important to them. Advances in digital health make more tailored approaches to diabetes care possible. More >>

China Is Building The Ultimate Digital Health Paradise. Or Is It?
We strongly believe that only digital health can bring healthcare into the 21st century and make patients the point-of-care. How could a country keep around 1.4 billion people healthy when the system struggles with corruption, lack of resources and an aging population? China, the emerging giant with a strong central leadership fostering technology and innovation, places its bets on artificial intelligence, telemedicine, cloud-based hospitals, and WeChat. While that could sound like an ultimate technological paradise, the question is, what are they going to do with the vast amount of data or to what interests are they going to leverage their state of the art A.I. systems? Generally, how will we speak about digital health in China: a healthcare dystopia or a system in the service of the greater good? More >>

4 Important Items on Your 2019 HIPAA Compliance Checklist
Understanding how to approach messaging, cloud storage, risk assessments and patient access all factor into a modern HIPAA compliance strategy. For healthcare organization IT teams tasked with keeping personal health information secure, theres perhaps nothing more pressing than remaining compliant with security and privacy regulations. Chief among these are, of course, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the accompanying Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act.As healthcare organizations become targets for hackers and breaches become more common, putting patients PHI at risk of exposure, its paramount that organizations adhere to guidance that aims to protect health data not to mention that lack of compliance can result in significant fines for providers.Still, as digital health technology grows and medical devices become more connected, PHI and access to it may be scattered among devices and more vulnerable than ever.So, what should IT teams be on the lookout for as they approach HIPAA compliance in the modern age? We break down the rules and nuances around keeping PHI secure and compliant. More >>

Facebook charged with misleading users on health data visibility
A report says the social networks handling of personal health information put its users health at risk. Facebook has been accused of misleading users in its Group platform about who can see their private information, and argues Facebook did not disclose how much information could be visible to outsiders including health information.WHY IT MATTERSSharing of privately posted personal health information violates the law, but this serious problem with Facebooks privacy implementation also presents an ongoing risk of death or serious injury to Facebook users, the complaint states.The report, written by CareSet Systems CTO and hacktivist Fred Trotter and healthcare attorney David Harlow, offers an in-depth review of the health data being shared, used and curated in these Facebook Groups.The document argued that even though the social media site actively encourages users to share private health information in numerous ways, Facebooks privacy and access control sets are inconsistently applied.In addition, the report said Facebook allowed substantial patient health information to leak and charges that as a personal health record (PHR) platform, is in violation of the FTC Health Breach Notification rule.

One-on-One with Intermountain Healthcare CIO Marc Probst at HIMSS19
Marc Probst has been the CIO of the Salt Lake City, Utah-based Intermountain Healthcare since 2003, and in that time he has been to his fair share of HIMSS conferences, investigating new technologies while also taking sharp notice of how the health IT policy landscape has changed over the years.This year at HIMSS19 in Orlando, proposed regulations from CMS (the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services) and ONC (Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT) have dominated the show discussion. In fact, each HIMSS conference seems to take more and more of a federal policy theme.At the show this week, Probst, the CIO of the 23-hospital Intermountain Healthcare system, discussed the implications of these proposals, how much information blocking is actually occurring in the real world, while also remarking on the new innovations that are catching his eye. Below are excerpts of the discussion between Probst and Healthcare Innovation. More >>

Key Security Considerations for AI and Robotics
As the use of artificial intelligence tools and robotics continues to grow, it's crucial for organizations to assess the potential security risks posed, says attorney Stephen Wu.Among the growing applications of AI in the healthcare sector are tools to assist in the diagnosis of illnesses, the processing of medical images and the detection of fraud, Wu says in an interview with Information Security Media Group. Meanwhile, robotics use is expanding as well, especially for surgery."The HIPAA regulations don't talk about artificial intelligence and robotics in particular, so we have to use the general principles associated with HIPAA compliance and apply those to the particular systems being deployed," he explains.For AI tools, Wu says, "you may have on-premises software - and we've been securing enterprise software for a long time on-premises. But a lot of these applications are being delivered as software as a service, so all the security controls we think about with cloud computing ... would apply to AI." More >>
