SubscribeIn the 1970s patients were relatively healthy with most having only one disease with one or two treatments available. In the 2020s we have transitioned to a time where people are living longer with multiple comorbidities and there are tons of treatments available. The question is how are doctors choosing? What happens if they don't have good information? We have challenges of sharing data, challenges of interoperability, challenges of accuracy. We can see where the industry needs to improve but this is a long-term commitment that will take decades.
Dr. Dan Riskin, Verantos
Transparency communicates trust. I trust you to make the right decision. The problem with healthcare is we are arrogant. We believe the consumer doesn't know enough about health to make the right decision. And instead of informing them, we care for them by keeping information from them. We need to change the mindset.
Bill Russell, This Week in Health IT
It takes many, many years for modern digital practice to be folded into clinician training. You would think that they're learning all the digital tools. Remote patient monitoring and virtual care, but they're not. When my wife was picking her dissertation, I said pick virtual care, pick digital medicine, because that is the future.
