Nov,26,3013

The reality that social media has little influence on buying behavior is especially troubling given the amount of money businesses are pouring into it.

Patients get access to doctors' notes online in Milwaukee-area first
Nov,24,2013
by+Guy Boulton
Cheryl Halverson, who was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, took notes during her visits with Ranveer Nand, the oncologist who oversaw her treatment. She praised his skill in explaining the disease and his patience in answering her questions. Yet she still struggled to remember what she was told during those office visits.
"When you are sitting in that office," Halverson said, "so many emotions are running through you that you remember about half of what you're told. "That's why Halverson's response was "wow" when told of an initiative by Columbia St. Mary's that gives patients secure online access to the notes a doctor or clinician takes during an office visit.

by:+Marco della Cava,
Steadily and relentlessly, a feeling of anxiety spread among the four Pak sisters as they tried in vain to call their 80-year-old father, Song Pak. "We were really starting to worry, because our mom was visiting us and he was alone," says Suzy Pak, 43, a financial consultant from San Francisco, whose siblings also live far from their childhood home near Santa Barbara. "Just before we called the police, he finally called us. He'd been gardening all day in the yard. So we decided we had to do something."
A few weeks ago, the sisters swooped into action and bought their father Lively, a $149 wireless monitoring kit whose six small accelerometers detect movement.

Can insurers really achieve better care at lower costs?
Nov,27,2013
by:+Dina Overland
There's no mistaking the fact that healthcare costs continue to rise regardless of whether quality of care improves. So a new study from the Commonwealth Fund examines if it's possible to get better care at lower costs, analyzing several payment reform initiatives already underway.
"We know for certain that more spending does not translate into better care or a better-functioning healthcare system," the states. "The good news is that a lot of activity is already taking place in the private and public sectors to obtain greater value for our health care dollars."

The Wild West Becomes Less Wild: States Fill Privacy Gap Left by Congress
Nov,13,2013

HealthCare.gov direct enrollment could send numbers soaring
Nov,21,2013
by:+
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has fixed the malfunctioning direct enrollment process on HealthCare.gov, thereby allowing insurers to directly enroll consumers into plans they're selling on the federal health insurance exchange.
Consumers can go directly to an insurer's website to learn about their exchange plans, where they would then get referred to HealthCare.gov to determine whether they're eligible for federal subsidies. Then consumers would be directed back to the insurer to purchase a plan, CNN reported.
