The Changing World of Healthcare

The healthcare industry today is undergoing fundamental changes. In boardrooms around the country, owners, managers and staff alike struggle to adapt to an increasingly regulated environment while maintaining priority on quality care and, in most cases, trying to run a profitable business. In 2010 the need to comply with HIPAA’s Privacy and Security provisions is not simply an “issue” – it is a federally mandated imperative that carries severe civil and criminal sanction in the event of non-compliance. So, in addition to changing all records from paper to electronic format – because only 23% of American providers have medical records in digital form covered entities (CEs) must take extraordinary measures to ensure the privacy and security of this Protected Health Information (PHI).

Our medical division exists to make sense of it all. We pour tremendous energy and resources into researching the trends, technology, issues and business obstacles facing the healthcare industry today. We do this bearing in mind that our customers are intelligent, conscientious and well educated, but too pressed for time and money to stand back and look at the larger picture. That’s our job, and we do it with pride, compiling and distributing information in multi-media formats designed to be digested and implemented as quickly and easily as possible. Thank you for your patronage.
