In the interest of cost containment, hospital executives need to eschew tradition and get creative with things such as cutting-edge performance analytics, according to a new report.

Progress towards value-based care has stalled, according to a new study from Quest Diagnostics, due to a lack of quality metrics and analytics insights from data.

As hospital administrators, service line leaders and clinicians work tirelessly to stay on the cutting edge of science and medicine, health IT is increasingly providing the solutions to many new challenges.

A new study from JAMA has found that healthcare spending in the United States is nearly double that of 10 high-income countries yet still underperformed on many population health outcomes—with prices and administrative costs as the main driver of the differences in spending.

Healthcare providers are prioritizing value-based payment models in 2018 IT budgets and data analytics is the category most likely to see an increase in spending, according to a survey from healthcare advisory firm Damo Consulting.

Join LUMEDX at the American College of Cardiology 67th Annual Scientific Session & Expo (ACC.18)—the largest gathering of innovative cardiovascular products and services under one roof—and the National Cardiovascular Data Registry Annual Conference (NCDR.18), a 2½-day program held right before ACC.18 that aims to help hospitals and health systems blaze trails in quality improvement.

LUMEDX will be demonstrating its powerful analytics and data management tools at the HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition, where more than 45,000 healthcare professionals from more than 90 countries will gather for the premier health information and technology conference.

​​​​Despite 2017’s cancellation of mandatory bundled payments, the value-based care movement in the United States is still healthy and will benefit in 2018 from analytics, according to a report from Washington, D.C.-based healthcare consulting firm Avalere.

​Hospital executives are optimistic that big data and analytics will achieve broader adoption in healthcare over the next two years, helping organizations maximize their return on IT investments, according to a new study by SAP and Oxford Economics.

While the use of clinical and business intelligence tools is on the rise in healthcare, the hype surrounding artificial intelligence is unlikely to lead to full-scale adoption for quite some time, according to a new study by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS).
