Calling all regulators! mHealth is exploding
Dec,12,2013
by:+Diana Manos
The question is how to support and encourage changes in healthcare even as it is being molded by a digital tidal wave. Policy surely can’t keep up, though the federal government and its host of volunteer advisory boards is losing sleep in a valiant effort to do so. Lawmakers and regulators are struggling, at best. And now there’s the argument over who can manage mHealth best, Congress or the FDA.

No longer a novelty, medical apps are increasingly valuable to clinicians and patients
Dec,14,2013
by:+Joseph Conn
2013 was a big year for the adoption of mobile medical applications by clinicians and consumers. It also saw the beginning of convergence between devices and apps used by clinicians and those used by consumers.
Still, industry experts say the widespread use of mobile apps and devices that are fully integrated into a comprehensive healthcare and wellness information system remains a work in progress. Authoritative curation of mobile apps is needed to ease physician uncertainty about adopting apps more widely for clinical use, some experts say. And much more progress is needed in developing and disseminating apps that enable healthcare providers to help patients manage their medical conditions.

by:+Susan D. Hall
Computerizing prescription order entry and medication reconciliation doesn't necessarily improve those processes as much as we'd like to think, according to two presentations at the midyear meeting of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.

by:+ Stephanie Baum
A healthcare startup that is using mobile phones and iPads to provide video access to physicians has raised $3 million in seed funding, according to a company statement. Doctor on Demand is one of a group of telehealth companies trying to help address non-emergency questions about illnesses and symptoms to reduce the need for in-patient visits and the flow of people going to emergency rooms.
It also helps address the gap between the number of physicians and nurses and the number of people entering the healthcare system as a result of Obamacare. Earlier this year an IMS Research report estimated that telehealth would grow to reach 1.8 million patients by 2017.

by:+Dina Overland
Uninsured consumers, who will be most affected by the healthcare reform law, are still not informed or prepared for the law's individual mandate requiring them to obtain insurance by next year, according to a new survey from the Transamerica Center for Health Studies (TCHS).
Questioning about 1,000 consumers in November, TCHS found 31 percent of uninsured consumers haven't even heard of health insurance exchanges. What's more, only 7 percent of the uninsured population feels "very" prepared for the reform law and only 35 percent feel at least "somewhat" prepared.
