The healthcare industry has been trending toward health monitoring in the home environment, and since COVID-19, this trend has significantly increased. Medical device manufacturers are experiencing many new opportunities and additional challenges in designing medical devices for a more diverse user population and less controlled use environment.

In this Sunrise Labs podcast, Alex Therrien, Director of User Centered Design and Kelly Catale, Principal Human Factors Engineer, explain how taking a User Centered Approach to designing home use medical devices will lead to a more successful medical product.

Starting the medical device design process from the standpoint of empathy will ensure that the new device will fit into the end user’s life and is more likely to be adopted. User adoption and therapy adherence will determine the success of the product for all stakeholders.

A clean, paid, closed claim can still be short of the contract

A clean, paid, closed claim can still be short of the contract

Practices can receive payment on closed, clean claims that still fall short of negotiated contract amounts because billing ends at coding, submission and posting, while no role owns checking whether payer payments match fee schedules. The speaker argues that contract-level payment review is a separate, complementary function that compares closed claims to contract terms and, run continuously, helps surface shortfalls in time to act within timely filing windows.

  • 01Correctly coded and billed healthcare claims can still result in underpayment.
  • 02Practices should review closed-claim payments against contract terms to spot underpayments.
  • 03Discrepancies in claim payments can persist despite adherence to billing protocols.

Moderna reported third-quarter revenue of $1.31 billion, up 29%, and net income of $162 million, compared with a $200 million loss a year earlier.

Why legacy EHR data decides whether healthcare AI pays off

Why legacy EHR data decides whether healthcare AI pays off

MediQuaid director of client services Jason Tennison, a former bedside nurse, discussed EHR replacement data challenges on the Scopewell podcast, where host James Leuthe credited him with an analogy that clean, governed data is the foundation AI needs. Clearsense says a national health system retired more than 800 legacy systems and generated over $100 million in recurring annual operating savings by archiving inactive records, and Harmony Healthcare IT’s 2023 CHIME CIO survey found 94% still operating on legacy applications.

  • 01A national health system retired more than 800 legacy systems and booked over $100 million in recurring annual operating savings by archiving inactive records, Clearsense says.
  • 02Harmony Healthcare IT's 2023 survey of health care CIOs found 94% still run legacy applications, and the average hospital carries 10 EHRs.
  • 03Across industries, 52% of chief data officers rate their generative AI data readiness inadequate, per an AWS and Harvard Business Review survey reported by HealthTech Magazine.
