Really exciting news out of the Oracle Healthcare Summit in the US this week. Oracle Healthcare is promising a new #EMR “built from the ground up” to be released in 2025 and embedding #AI across the entire clinical workflow. Seema Verma told the conference that the new platform was not “a refurbished EHR”, saying that “in this day and age, you can’t leverage modern technology by bolting new innovation to something built in the 1990s”. This is spot on and what many in the #digitalhealth community have been saying for some time. We need a #nextgenEMR designed to embed AI across the whole workflow with modern tools for automation, documentation, and tasking that uses conversational AI to navigate and create tasks and documentation, to drive down the #clinicianburnout. 100% agree with her statement: “One of today’s most important and widely used healthcare technologies, the EHR, has not lived up to its promise.'' Excited to see how this development from Oracle will disrupt the EMR market. Bruce Pedersen https://lnkd.in/gy5E9Cvv

People always ask what I love most about the work in Healthcare. It has been an easy answer. The people. As many of you may know my journey started when my daughter was in need of a liver transplant. That allowed me to see first hand the passion, drive and commitment of those that choose Healthcare as their profession. It also opened my eyes to areas we can improve upon. We talk about access to Healthcare all of the time. We also talk about the patient 360. Healthcare touches each of us. Whether it be my daughters journey that literally took me to every Hospital System in Florida for over a decade or it could be your journey, your parents, your siblings, your friends or your neighbors...it impacts each of us and the experience is one we remember. So it takes me back where I started my post. The people. I have had the privilege of getting to know some of the best leaders in this industry through my efforts on leveraging the Salesforce platform at one of the best companies in the business Coastal. We have successfully found ways together in delivering increased access to care all while driving better experiences and outcomes. It has been incredible see the true power of the platform. How agile and secure it truly is as a tool to solve for some of the most complex challenges these systems face in the Country. Where volumes and volumes of data must be understood and unpacked in order to develop strategies to acquire and engage people where they want to be met. I am both excited and proud to share a customer success journey at Dreamforce alongside my friend and leader Sarah Sanders who has had such incredible vision and aspirations to improve the outcomes of the consumers at University of California, San Francisco that it has been nothing short of inspiring! Come join us and learn just how Sarah and her incredible team started and the steps they took to get there!

Check out this article regarding Teladoc's recent executive departure and enterprise growth: [Link to the article]. Teladoc has been a pioneer in telemedicine, known for its patient-centric disruptive innovation. A piece of advice for TDOC: Simplify by refocusing on your core strength of providing simple, on-demand medical care. The current array of offerings has led to a complex operational model and high overhead, drifting the company away from its essence. Keeping it simple might be the key.

Leveraging Evidence Generation for Market Access Success 🌐💡 The recent panel discussion shed light on the complexities and strategies surrounding evidence generation for successful market access. Here are key takeaways: 1.) Holistic Strategy: An effective market access strategy must encompass both the U.S. and international markets, acknowledging their distinct approval criteria and stakeholder needs. A global perspective ensures broader applicability and relevance of evidence. 🌍 2.) Balancing Speed and Depth: Companies must balance the urgency of market introduction with the necessity of comprehensive evidence. This involves aligning early-phase clinical trial data with real-world evidence to demonstrate long-term effectiveness and cost-efficiency. ⏳📊 3.) Multi-stakeholder Approach: Evidence generation should address the needs of diverse stakeholders, including payers, providers, and regulators. Engaging with these groups early and continuously ensures the evidence meets their specific criteria, enhancing the likelihood of product adoption. 🤝 4.) Real World Evidence (RWE): RWE is crucial for illustrating the practical effectiveness of products in diverse, real-world settings. It complements randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by highlighting long-term outcomes and patient-centric metrics, which are increasingly valued in health technology assessments. 🌏📈 5.) Regulatory Dynamics: Understanding the regulatory nuances and leveraging expedited pathways in key markets like the EU and the U.S. can significantly shorten time to market. Companies must stay informed about changing regulations and adapt their evidence generation strategies accordingly. 📜🔍 This discussion underscores the importance of a strategic, well-rounded approach to evidence generation that accommodates the intricacies of global markets and the evolving expectations of stakeholders. Special shoutout to: David Gregory Arun Parekkat Grace Macalino Keith Needham Peter Bannister Thank you for your contributions! #HealthcareInnovation #MarketAccess #EvidenceGeneration #RealWorldEvidence #Biopharma #MarketAccess

This is a must-read article on the future of #EMRs. I feel like disruption is long overdue and an exciting future is on the horizon for healthcare. Here are a few excerpts: "Health care has long been Big Technology’s great white whale. Apple, Amazon and Google parent Alphabet Inc. — all #innovators that have been unquestionably dominant in their respective main businesses — have each spent billions trying to disrupt the industry, only to scale back their ambitions when faced with the complexity and power of the established US medical system." While Oracle’s long-term vision for modernizing #HealthInformationTechnology is compelling, and has the potential to positively affect patient care, the company has faced significant setbacks — much like its technology peers. Oracle has ribbed Epic for being too expensive and running on a database it calls archaic and insecure. Epic, in particular, likes to brag about retention. One of the most popular presentation slides at the company is blank and titled “Customers Which Have Switched From Epic to Cerner,” “Since Oracle’s acquisition of Cerner Corporation, it’s been heads down to create this vision... But this year, you will see that the end state is closer than many might think.” What are your thoughts?? #revenuecyclemanagement

🎸 “𝙂𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚𝙧” 🎸 This week, the AKASA team hosted a discussion for executives at the Becker's Healthcare CEO + CFO Roundtable. To demonstrate the capabilities of generative AI technology, they used ChatGPT to write a heavy metal song about healthcare CFOs. We hope you love it as much as the attendees did! (Verse 1) In the halls of hospitals, the numbers roar, The chaos brews, the costs soar, A maze of rules, an endless game, But the CFO rides to tame the flame! With spreadsheets sharp, a blade of steel, He fights through codes, he makes the deal, With every charge and every fee, He’s the hero of the economy! (Chorus) Guardian of the Ledger, the healer of the cost, Standing strong in the tempest, where others would be lost! He faces the future with a data-powered eye, In the shifting paradigms, he’ll ride till he dies! (Verse 2) From manual work to AI’s grace, A brave new world we all must face, Automation’s here, the robots grind, But the CFO won’t be left behind. He leads the charge through the digital storm, Defending balance sheets, transforming norms He’s the last line between red and green, In the shadows, he reigns unseen. (Chorus) Guardian of the Ledger, the healer of the cost, Standing strong in the tempest, where others would be lost! He faces the future with a data-powered eye, In the shifting paradigms, he’ll ride till he dies! (Bridge - Guitar Solo) (Screaming guitar riff, echoing the CFO’s journey through the data labyrinth) (The CFO’s laser focus cuts through a storm of riffs and digital beats) (Verse 3) Now the tables turn, the systems change, With AI’s help, we can rearrange, Efficiency rises, and errors fade, The CFO’s vision, a future made. From revenue to patient care, Through every shift, he’s always there, A healthcare hero, bold and true, He fights for all—the team and you! (Chorus - Extended) Guardian of the Ledger, the healer of the cost, Standing strong in the tempest, where others would be lost! The CFO, our titan, both cunning and wise, Through the shifting paradigms, he’ll forever rise! (Outro) Guardian of the Ledger… Forever… brave… In the battle of healthcare, the ledger he’ll save! Libby Monette Amy Raymond Benjamin Beadle-Ryby Rick Tillar Christian Carlson Justin Barlow Cory Costley Kelly Leo
