  Healthcare mobile technology offers multiple features for varied needs. A mobile healthcare app needs to, therefore, have a definite purpose. Before undertaking healthcare mobile app development, this feature needs to be identified and remain focused throughout the entire developmental cycle. The majority of mHealth technologies, in today’s healthcare scenario, revolve around fitness offerings. Another emerging domain of mHealth app development is lifestyle management. The other prominent areas that require a mHealth system are disease management, women’s health, telemedicine, and healthcare finance-related apps. Before the mHealth development journey begins, the first order of business is the identification of the purpose of the mHealth application.  mHealth technologies can be developed through multiple technologies. Mobile health applications’ technologies are rapidly evolving, and  telehealth solutions  are consequently advancing in their offering. Suppose you ...

Electronic health records ( EMR systems ) are a repository of medical information about patients stored in digital format. It contains data like demographics, immunizations, allergies, previous treatments, history of medication, test results, radiology reports, progress notes, history of substance abuse (if any), and so forth. It paints a thorough picture of a patient’s health situation and enables doctors to make informed decisions.   One of the best advantages of using EHR medical software is its ability to integrate with other medical technologies. As a result, small clinics, ambulatory care centers, as well as large hospitals can experience faster workflows that are more efficient and also need lesser overhead. Let’s look at some of the ways that the integration of EHR software with other health technologies can help -  Data Analytics It is one of the most promising healthcare technologies that has the potential to help doctors predict who is at greater risk. By combi...

Denial management is the processing, analysis, and communication of denied claims. Unlike rejected claims (rejected because of errors or anomalies in the claim forms), denied claims are rejected after claims processing. Claims are denied because of non-covered services, non-separate services, incorrect usage of modifiers, and inconsistent data. For healthcare providers and practitioners, denial of claims is expensive. Although they have a high probability of recurrence, better denial management can minimize their negative effects. How do denied claims impact, healthcare providers? The main impact is on the financials of the healthcare provider. When claims are denied by the payors, insurers, or payers, there is a significant delay in payment. Sometimes, there is no clear timeline of when the payment will be released. Denial of claims could make insurers not release payments at all, especially if it is a non-covered service or treatment. Healthcare providers without custom claims denia...

  Patient engagement software is a type of medical software that facilitates interactions with patients. Although patient engagement solutions have been present for a long time, many physicians are unaware. Healthcare providers use this electronic system to interact with patients, provide teleconsultation, telemedicine, educational resources, and manage the relationships with their patients. Common features in a patient engagement software solution Given below are some common characteristics of patient engagement technology : Secure communication Encrypted communication between provider and patient enables secure communication. No information or communication between patient and provider eavesdrops. All interactions on the patient engagement software are kept private and confidential. The software uses the latest authentication, authorization, and data encryption mechanisms. Manage patient records The system allows patients to view, download, scan and send their medical reports el...

  The functioning of a value based payment in healthcare is best illustrated with a real-world example. Let’s imagine there is a person named Robert. He is in his late fifties and has a desk job, and his job provides him with a private health   insurance claims   plan. One day, Robert visits his primary care physician with complaints of tingling, numbness, and a persistent burning sensation that began in his toes and is now working its way upward. The physician is part of an accountable Care Organization (ACO), a network of doctors and   hospital management   sharing financial and clinical responsibilities for providing coordinated care.    Robert has been overweight for about a decade, smokes and drinks every week. In light of this family history, his primary care physician may suffer from nerve damage—the physician coordinates with a laboratory that conducts blood tests. When the results are out, it is revealed that Robert has serious Type 2 diabete...

  Healthcare, like every industry, is dependent on income and smooth functioning. A big part of that depends upon the competent management of hospitals’ many resources and workflows. Hospitals have to manage the activities of doctors, nurses, and other administrative staff. The larger a hospital gets, the greater the complexity of managing it. Moreover, doing so using pen and paper is not only slow and inefficient but also prone to mistakes and liability. That is why it is important to use healthcare workforce management software.   Such a type of software facilitates more efficient workforce management across all the departments of a hospital and results in better overall organizational productivity. In simple words, a healthcare workforce management system helps administrators streamline all the operations related to human resources, such as staff scheduling, leaves, attendance, communications, payroll, and so forth. When all of these activities can be accomplished thr...

COVID-19 is predominantly transmitted through person-to-person contact via respiratory droplets, resulting in consistent risk transmission through traditional contact. This pandemic primarily affects older people and those with pre-existing hypertension and diabetes. Although existing solutions are ineffective, the researchers press that the EHR-based method is quite influential. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated significant problems and risks to humanity. Thus, data portability, healthcare framework modeling, interpretation, standardized procedures to cope with various data privacy standards, data management, and sustainability are currently viewed as the most significant parameters to increase collaborative research. In this day and age, sharing accurate and thorough clinical data gathered by health care adopted Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems is crucial. Electronic health records system data is not only advisable for day-to-day operations but can also be used to enhan...

Insurance claims can be called the lifeblood of the American healthcare system. When a patient walks into a clinic, he or she gets treated and their visit is documented. Subsequently, it is coded and the claims are filled out to be sent to payers. The payers process the claim to check if everything done by the provider is valid and reimburse the provider for the services they provided. In other words, insurance claims make up most of the revenue cycles in healthcare.  Claims contain a significant amount of information about the patient, his or her medical condition, the treatments they underwent, and medication, coupled with demographic data such as gender, age, race, employment, and so forth. As most Americans have one kind of insurance plan or another, it amounts to about hundreds of millions of potential insurance claims. The insights in all those claims can go a long way in helping insurance payers to optimize their operations and health plans to serve the stakeholders better. ...

Payers are a crucial component in healthcare delivery, and they have to ensure that patients get timely care at the right cost. Those who opted for payer management network solutions from custom healthcare software development firms can function smoothly—those who haven’t yet faced the brunt of paper-based processes and repetitive tasks. The deployment of provider network management solution software for insurers is vital as it helps them manage their healthcare provider networks efficiently. They can process claims with percent accuracy, which has helped them reduce costs and work with healthcare providers to reduce administrative overheads. What does a provider network management solution do at the fundamental level? A provider management solution collects data from multiple healthcare ecosystems. These could be internal or external systems. A provider network management solution can then use this data to provide a central system. The consolidated data can pertain to patients’ lab...
