EMR Marketing: Not Time for Code Red

The Washington Monthly In his blog, crossoverHealth, Scott Shreeve, M.D., produced a review of Phillip Longman's article, "Code Red---How Software Companies can Screw Up Obama's Reform Plan", in the July/August 2009 Washington Monthly. Shreeve's review seems to endorse Longman's central thought: that it would be a tragic error to fund health care information technology only to cement in place isolated silos of discontinuity and poor interconnectivity.

HITECH Act: HIPAA Survival guide

Teamwork Marketing helps hospitals add low vision rehab services

In a breakthrough move, the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) now reimburses for doctor referred, occupational therapist performed LVR.

A Quest for Customer Sevice Satisfaction

After the leadership meeting today, a tormenting question came into my mind; "what else could I do to help the hospital recover from its reputation from bad to great?" The Director of Patient Relation's voice still is echoing in my brain; "the physicians will not admit patients to this hospital because the 'care' is not up to par, the nursing staff are not skillful enough to carry on with their responsibilities, therefore, they feel it is unsafe to bring patients here." As I ponder, I was re-ev… Continue

Healthcare Supply Chain Savings Yield Gold

As we're all aware, it's tough going financially and only promises to get tougher in the coming year or two. While many of you are working on large, long-term projects that will undoubtedly yield great benefit to you and your patients, putting some materials management basics into practice now can have a significant impact on margins in weeks -- rather than years. I've seen providers able to save as much as $50 million annually, even with increased volume, simply by only buying the best of what… Continue

Hospitals can quantify their fan base with social networking sites

In 1993, Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles wrote another book in their series of short reads covering the "One Minute Manager" to organizing for greater corporate efficiency. One of their best selling titles, "Raving Fans, Revolution in Customer Service" caught the interest of many of us in the service sector. In the classic marketing behavior model, our job as brand-builders is to move customers from awareness of our product/service to loyal users. Along the way, we create preference, likeline… Continue

Holidays approaching at PCH

With the holidays approaching, it's a time of reflection and pondering.

Some will be celebrating with a little Christmas tree on the table, next to the heart monitor and vitals machine. Some… Continue

Challenges for health information technology

One of the biggest challenges for hospitals in the next few years will be how to adapt to growing consumer demand for more, better and safer information technology. It's hard enough to adopt electronic medical records in the inpatient setting alone. Many, if not most, of our institutions still have hybrid records, part paper and part electronic. Costs are multiplied in this intermediate stage: we have the cost of buying and supporting the electronic record, while still tracking and copying all t… Continue
