Healthesystems’ AVP of Advocacy & Compliance, Sandy Shtab, recently appeared in the Leaders Speak series featured in WorkCompWire, an online news service focused on developments in workers’ comp. Her article discusses how many of the functions and services performed today in healthcare have evolved through technology and innovation, while many of the laws regulating those functions and services have not.
The discussion dives into three areas of focus, including easing patient access to healthcare services, reducing administrative burden, and improving care quality. Technologies discussed include telemedicine, electronic medical records (EMR), patient portals, self-service capabilities, electronic billing, electronic prospective review, and more.
