Healthcare IT Marketing

I’m often surprised by people’s reaction when I say that I’m a blogger. Most then believe that it must be a part time thing that I do for fun at nights. While it started that way, blogging is my full time job. If it weren’t for a large number of companies who’ve supported my work over the years, I’d probably have one blog that I’d post to a couple times a month. I can’t say how much these companies support means to me.

As my blogs have grown and the industry has changed (when I started people didn’t even know what a blog was), I’ve been working to evolve with the industry. While display advertising still does quite well for me and my advertisers, there are a number of shifts happening in healthcare marketing. That’s why I launched Influential Networks, an EHR Job board, EMR and EHR whitepapers, email blasts, and a number of other projects I’m still working to officially launch like my EHR and Health IT video series.

There’s a lot happening when it comes to healthcare marketing, and next week as part of my EHR and Health IT interview series, I’m going to be doing an interview with Don Seamons from Lumeno Marketing and Shahid Shah from Influential Networks. More details on that to come, but it should be a really interesting conversation on the changing healthcare marketing landscape.

With everything I do, my goal is to provide value to everyone involved. For example, those reading the site get value from the free content that’s available to them and also get introduced to companies they may not have known about otherwise. Those companies that advertise benefit from exposure to people reading the content we create. I don’t always nail this perfectly, but I’m sincere in my efforts to provide value all around. Plus, whenever there’s a financial interest involved in something I’m doing, I try to make that clear to the reader. That way everyone knows any bias I may have and can make their own judgement on the content I provide.

With all of this in mind, I want to take a second recognize the new and renewing EMR & HIPAA advertisers.

ZH Healthcare – As most of you know, my blog run on the backs of many open source software products. So, I’m really glad to have an open source EMR company supporting EMR and HIPAA. ZH Healthcare is built on the back of the most successful ambulatory EHR software to date, OpenEMR. If you want the flexibility of an open source EHR, check them out.

Caristix – I love the tagline from their ad, “HL7 interfacing 50% faster.” I think that pretty much describes what Caristix offers to those in healthcare IT. HL7 is going to be with us for a long time to come, so every institution and company should know a great HL7 company. Check out Caristix if you’re looking to do some HL7 integrations.

Chetu – Rather than me trying to describe Chetu, check out this interview I did with Craig Schmidt from Chetu. You can see the breadth of experience they have developing software for healthcare. If you’re looking to outsource some IT development work, check out Chetu.

Renewing Advertisers
The heart and soul of our support is in our renewing advertisers. So, a big thanks to all of the companies listed below for renewing their ads with us. It’s great to look over so many of these companies who have been supporting us for so many years. Here’s to many more years working together. If you enjoy what we do here at EMR and HIPAA, check out the advertisers below and see if they offer something you’re looking for.
Ambir – Advertising since 1/2010
Amazing Charts – Advertising since 5/2011
simplifyMD – Advertising since 9/2012
Canon – Advertising since 10/2012

A number of other exciting things coming in the future. Thanks to all the readers and supporters of EMR and HIPAA.

“EMR and HIPAA” becomes “EHR and Omnibus”

Written by: John Lynn

We at EMR and HIPAA have been hearing a lot from our readers that there’s been some confusion with the EMR and HIPAA brand. Many readers are really confused by what we provide here on EMR and HIPAA and what to expect when they visit the website.

For those who don’t know the history, I did the first EMR and HIPAA blog post back on December 11, 2005. I love how I didn’t even post my name, but instead put the name “EMR BLOG” as the writer. Just reading the post makes me a bit sheepish as I think about how naive I was at the time, but I digress. Seven years and 1659 EMR and HIPAA blogs later, a lot has changed with EMR and HIPAA. Healthcare IT is a new world and it seemed right for EMR and HIPAA to embrace change as well.

Let’s start with EMR. I still love the term EMR since spell check doesn’t autocorrect it. However, $36 billion of government money says that it should be called EHR. Plus, the EHR fanatics out there have been on my case for a long time when I talk about EMR instead of EHR. No more. From now on, EMR will no longer exist as we embrace EHR.

What about HIPAA? Yes, for most healthcare providers HIPAA is a curse word to them. Just hearing it makes them cringe. Why would I want to host a site that makes my beloved doctors cringe? Plus, HIPAA is now changed thanks to the new Omnibus rule. We’re ready to embrace change as well, so from now on HIPAA will be referred to as Omnibus. Who doesn’t like Omnibus? Omni means all. Bus reminds me of a party bus in Las Vegas. I think everyone can embrace a party bus where all are welcome.

There you have it. We’re now going to officially be called: EHR and Omnibus

Has a nice ring to it doesn’t it? I hope you like the new branding and appreciate the clarity it provides.

Happy April 1st!

EMR and EHR Ads

Written by: John Lynn

It seems fitting on Super Bowl week to take a second and look at the advertisers that make what we do here at EMR and HIPAA possible. None of their ads cost $1-2 million like the Super Bowl ads, but if you’re looking for some great Healthcare IT and EHR products then you’ve come to the right place. If you like what we do here at EMR and HIPAA, then take a minute and see the advertisers who like what we do as well.

Also, I have a special ad promotion for new advertisers from now through the middle of February. If you’re interested in knowing the details, drop me a note on our Contact Us page.

New EMR and HIPAA Advertisers
Canon – I can’t imagine anyone reading this needs an introduction to Canon. In the Healthcare IT space they offer a suite of scanners, printers and copiers that are found in healthcare organizations across the country. I even have the Canon imageFORMULA DR-C125 in my house and use it regularly. The need for heavy duty scanners in healthcare isn’t going to go away for a long time. I’m glad to have Canon on board as an advertiser.

iPatientCare – EHR vendors always do well as advertisers on EMR and HIPAA and so it’s great to have iPatientCare as a new advertiser. They provide the full suite of EHR, PMS, PHR, HIE, and Mobile that you could need along with all the important EHR and meaningful use certifications. I see that they’re going to be exhibiting at HIMSS at Booth #5519 if you want to check them out at HIMSS. Plus, I love that their website has an image that says they won 9 TEPR Awards. Many of you probably won’t even know what TEPR is since it’s no longer around. However, TEPR was a conference focused exclusively on EHR (although it was probably called EMR back then since it was before EHR became in Vogue). The fact that they won awards at TEPR shows how long iPatientCare’s been doing EHR.

simplifyMD – I first started working with simplifyMD when they graciously sponsored the New Media Meetup at HIMSS 2012 (The 2013 event will be announced shortly, but save Tuesday, March 5th from 6-8 on your calendar). It was a great event and they were a great sponsor. simplifyMD is a certifed EHR vendor that strives to tailor their EHR workflow to the doctor’s current workflow. Something that dotors love to hear and experience from their EHR. They’re a web based EHR. Plus, they recently came out with these great simplifyMD and EHR cartoons. I’m sure I’ll be featuring more of their cartoons in the future.

Returning EMR and HIPAA Advertisers
Sfax – I call Sfax a returning advertiser because they first started advertising on EMR and HIPAA back in December of 2009. So, they supported EMR and HIPAA back when we were just starting to get some traction. After a short hiatus, they’re back as an advertiser. What many don’t realize is that Sfax handles the faxing for a large number of the EHR vendors out there. While I generally avoid faxing as much as possible, sometimes it can’t be avoided and so I’m always grateful I can just send a fax similar to how I send an email using Sfax. Word on the street is that they have the next version of their software coming out soon. I’m excited to check it out.

Mitochon – Similar to Sfax, Mitochon first started advertising on EMR and HIPAA back in Decmber of 2010. After a short break they’re back again as advertisers. I’ve really enjoyed watching Mitochon mature as a Free EHR vendor (They do offer the full suite of free services: PM, EMR, HIE, etc). When Mitochon first started advertising with me, they were a brand new company with a big vision and lots of ideas, but still a lot of work to do. They’ve come a long way since then with their product and their company. One example of that was in their mobile EHR solution that I wrote about previously.

Renewing EMR and HIPAA Advertisers
A big thanks to all these renewing advertisers. It’s beautiful seeing so many of them supporting us for so long.
Practice Fusion – Advertising since April 2010
EMR Consultant – Advertising since July 2009
Amazing Charts – Advertising since May 2010
Cerner – Advertising since September 2011

I’m very appreciative of those advertisers who support the work we do. As I look at the stats for the advertisers, I’m really happy that we’re providing real value to their companies.

Happy New Year! EMR and HIPAA Stats Report

Written by: John Lynn

Happy New Year to everyone!

I hope that everyone has had a safe and wonderful holiday season. Mine has been better than expected. I had a wonderful 2012 and I’m looking forward to an even better 2013.

I got a report that had some interesting stats related to EMR and HIPAA for 2012 that I thought I’d share.

In 2012, there were 283 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 1,068 posts.

EMR and HIPAA was viewed about 1,800,000 times in 2012

The busiest day of the year was January 26th with 8,517 views. The most popular post that day was GE Centricity Advance Ceasing Operations. As part of that post I got one of the best compliments I’ve ever gotten on my blog. They told me, “we know you’ll be fair.” I really appreciated them saying that since it is indeed my goal.

I really find my list of most popular posts ironic since so many of them were from past years. Luckily most of them are still valid today:
1. 2014 EHR Mandate
2. Examples of HIPAA Privacy Violation
3. Overwhelming List of EMR Companies
4. Email is Not HIPAA Secure
5. Obama Wants Full EHR by 2014

I’m particularly proud of the EHR mandate posts since there is A LOT of confusion about whether there’s an EHR mandate or not. Those posts do a good job fleshing out the answer to that question.

EMR and HIPAA has had visitors from 179 countries in all, but the US is far and away the top readership.

I hope you enjoyed the stats and thanks for reading! Here’s to a wonderful 2013!

Health IT & EMR Advertising

Written by: John Lynn

I want to take a minute to say a big Thank You to all the advertisers that support EMR and HIPAA. If you enjoy the content on EMR and HIPAA, then take a minute to look through this list and get an idea of the companies that support what we do.

The following are the new advertisers since I last posted about EMR and HIPAA advertisers, and then the list of renewing advertisers.

New Advertisers
Digital Health Conference – I wrote previously about how much I like the Digital Health Conference in New York City. So, you can imagine I’m happy to have their event advertised on EMR and HIPAA. I hope that I see many of you at the event. It’s a great one and seems to have even gotten better this year.

GE Healthcare – If any of you watched the Olympics, you have certainly seen that GE is doing a lot of work in healthcare. It is kind of cool to think that GE healthcare is advertising in the Olympics and on EMR and HIPAA. Obviously, quite a bit different goals and EMR & HIPAA might be a little more targeted to healthcare IT professionals than the Olympics.

Physia – For those of you who haven’t yet seen me talk about Physia on Twitter, this is a new venture I’m doing with Shahid Shah. Physia does really low cost physician websites. However, that’s just the beginning of what we have in mind. We plan to layer a whole set of services on top of those websites that turn your website from a glorified yellow page ad into an integral part of your office. It’s an exciting project that is going to bring physician websites into the next century.

Renewing Advertisers
Practice Fusion – Advertising since April 2010
SOAPware – Advertising since July 2010
EMR Consultant – Advertising since July 2009
Ambir – Advertising since January 2010
Amazing Charts – Advertising since May 2010
DrFirst – Advertising since January 2012
GE Centricity Business – Advertising since May 2011

I’m very appreciative of those advertisers who support the work we do. As I look at the stats for the advertisers, I’m really happy that we’re providing real value to their company.

Food Brings Clinical and IT Together and Other Clinical-IT Perceptions

Written by: John Lynn

I’ve gotten quite the response from my post about Hospital IT and Nursing Perceptions on EMR and HIPAA. Since many of you don’t read all the comments (particularly those that are sent to my by email or left on other social media), I thought I’d share a couple of them that I found worth sharing.

First up is what I think is an eternal principle: FOOD!

As an Rn who spent most of 30yrs in IT thus works well:

Advice for Nursing: Sent Pizza
Advice for IT: Bring Doughnuts

Then take the time to listen. Ya gott’a have Big Ears!!!!!!!!!

Since I’m an IT Guy by background, I can assure you that I’ve done amazing work on the back of doughnuts. Although, I think Pizza would have worked for me as well, but it’s hard to beat a great doughnut. I do like the final comment though about listening. I always love “breaking bread” with someone because then you have something special that remains with you after the fact. Plus, I have a great memory and so once I’ve shared a meal with someone I will never forget them (their name maybe, but never them).

This next opinion is a bit stronger (and possibly more cynical), but I hope will start some really good discussion.

I’ll tell you I’m a former clinical lab person who moved to IT, so I have a warped sense of nursing and their perception of their purpose in life from way back.

IT’S PERCEPTION OF IT: We’d be more than happy to double our personnel in order to halve our response time if administration would fork over the budget for it. We have done everything we can think of to speed response time—help desk carries the phone with them at all times so they can answer it regardless where in the hospital they are, we have the capacity via VNC to spy on a session so the person doesn’t have to wait for us to walk over to the nursing unit to see what is going on, and more. If the people other than help desk are not on the phone, they get the call when it is forwarded.

IT’S PERCEPTION OF NURSING: Nurses are control freaks with OCD issues. We have a computer every four feet along every wall in every nursing station, in every patient room, and on wheels so they can be taken anywhere they want. They decide which one they are going to use for the day and, if it dies, they cannot be pried away to a different device. THEIRS is broken. And they have no idea that electronics are part of patient care now, not just an add-on to their work. Too many cannot comprehend that because they don’t feel like scanning a patient armband before giving them meds, it is okay to get the computer off their back by scanning anything with the patient number on it instead—a marvelous way to circumvent patient safety aspects of computerization.

If nursing (and physicians, too, for that matter) spent as much energy deciding they were going to learn how to most efficiently use their electronics as they do complaining about them, there wouldn’t be extra time taken away from patient care. It would become a break-even proposition.

One thing is absolutely certain: it’s not an easy task to bridge the IT and clinical divide. I bet a great book could be written on the subject.

EHR Mandate, HIPAA Privacy Violations, EHR Companies, Benefits of EMR and EHR and more

Written by: John Lynn

As most long time readers know, I’m a bit of a stats fanatic when it comes to my website. I love to see the internal numbers of what’s happening on my website. In fact, you might remember that I’ve wondered why I’m not as interested in my “health numbers.” Although, I actually am interested. I love getting my cholesterol value after giving blood. I’m using my scale more and more (with sad, but motivating results). The real challenge is that we need personal health data to be as easily created and tracked as website health data, but I digress.

I thought it would be fun to look over the past 3 months on EMR and HIPAA and see which pages and posts are the most popular. Plus, I’ll add some commentary or updates on each.

The most visited posts in the last 3 months was my post on the 2014 EHR Mandate. When you look at the searches I get referred to EMR and HIPAA, you can see why this page has been so popular. I’m actually really glad that doctors get this page since it does a great job describing how there isn’t an EHR mandate. Although, there are incentives, penalties and reasons why you might want to implement an EHR. I’m sure that post has done a lot to dispel the myth of the EHR mandate.

The next most popular post is my very old post on HIPAA Privacy Violations & HIPAA Lawsuits. I expect the reason it’s so popular is that many clinics are worried about HIPAA and any issues they may have with it. Plus, it’s kind of like a car crash, you can’t resist taking a look to see what’s happened. Those two factors make for great blog reading.

My next two most popular pages are both lists of EMR and EHR companies. The second list is from a post on the overwhelming list of EMR and EHR companies I did back in early 2006, but it’s still amazingly popular. A lot has changed since 2006 in the EHR world. It’s fun to look through the list and see which EHR software is still around and see some old names of companies that are no longer with us. One thing that remains the same is the list of EMR and EHR vendors is still overwhelming. Although, maybe that has changed. The list of EMR and EHR vendors might be more overwhelming today than it was in 2006.

I’m really glad to see that so many people are reading my list of EMR & EHR benefits page. Far too many practices have put on their Meaningful Use blinders that they forget to look at the reasons that physicians were implementing EHR software before the government waived $36 billion in front of their face. There are some guaranteed benefits to EHR including: legibility of patient charts and Accessibility of Charts. It’s hard to put a dollar value on those, but they are incredibly valuable.

Another popular post was about Email Not Being HIPAA Secure. The next most popular post after it is ironically “HIPAA Lawsuit – PHI by Un-encrypted Email.” I think many doctors have appreciated the insight about various technologies and how to satisfy HIPAA. Another in that series is the Texting is Not HIPAA Secure.

The final post I’ll look at in this round up is called Example of EMR Stimulus Medicare Penalties. Those EHR penalties are looming and I think this post provides some good perspective and understanding on how big the EHR penalties are for a practice. Sure, each practice needs to add in their own Medicare numbers, but that’s simple math.

Will Growth In Mobile Use Compromise HIPAA Compliance?

Written by: Katherine Rourke

There’s little doubt that giving doctors mobile access to data via their personal devices can be valuable. We’ve probably all read case studies in which doctors saved a great deal of time and made the right clinical call because they reached to via an iPad, smartphone or Android tablet.

And this is as it should be. We’ve been working to push intelligence to the network for at least the two decades I’ve been writing about IT.

That being said, we haven’t yet gotten our arms around the security problems posed by mobile computing during that period, as hard as IT managers have tried. Adding a HIPAA compliance requirement to the mix makes things even more difficult. As John wrote about previously, Email is Not HIPAA Secure and Text is Not HIPAA Secure either.

According to one security expert, healthcare providers need to do at least the following to meet HIPAA standards with mobile devices:

Protect their private data and ePHI on personal-liable (BYOD) mobile devices;
Encrypt all corporate email, data and documents in transit and at rest on all devices ;
Remotely configure and manage device policies;
Apply dynamic policy controls that restrict access to certain data or applications;
Enforce strict access controls and data rights on individual apps and services;
Continuously monitor device integrity to ensure PHI transmission;
Protect against malicious applications, malware and cyber threats;
Centrally manage policies and configurations across all devices;
Generate comprehensive compliance reporting across all mobile devices and infrastructure.

Just a wild guess here, but my hunch is that very few providers have gone to these lengths to protect the ePHI on clinicians’ devices. In fact, my sense is that if Mr. Bad Guy stole a few iPads or laptops from doctors at random right now, they’d find a wide open field. True, the thief probably couldn’t log into the EMR(s) the physician uses, but any other clinical observations or notes — think Microsoft Office apps — would be in the clear in most cases.

Being a journalist, not a security PhD, I can’t tell you I know what must be done. But having talked to countless IT administrators, I can definitely see that this is a nasty, hairy problem, for many reasons including the following:

- I doubt it’s going to be solved by a single vendor, though I bet you will be or are already getting pitches to that effect – given the diversity of systems even a modestly-large medical practice runs.

- Two factor authentication that locks up the device for all but the right user sounds good, but add-ons like, say, biometrics isn’t cheap.

- Add too many login steps to doctors already tired of extra clicks and you may see mass defections away from EMR use.

- Remotely managing and patching security software on devices with multiple operating systems and network capabilities is no joke.

If you feel your institution has gotten a grip on this problem, please do chime in and tell me. Or feel free to be a mean ol’ pessimist like myself. Either way, I’d love to hear some of your experiences in protecting mobile data. Maybe you have a good news story to tell.

Great Period for EMR and HIPAA

Written by: John Lynn

I use to do this a lot more when I started blogging, but I’m so busy with all the Healthcare Scene blogs that I don’t do it nearly as much. Although, I think it’s interesting to take a quick look at some of the stats for EMR and HIPAA and also take a minute to recognize the new and renewing advertisers on the site. I hope you’ll indulge me for a minute and you’ll take a look at those companies that support the work I do here on EMR and HIPAA. Most of them are not only sponsors of the site, but also readers. That means a lot to me.

First, let’s take a look at some stats for EMR and HIPAA. This will be the 1,318th post and there have been 6417 comments on those posts. That’s about 5 comments a post which is pretty incredible. According to WP.com stats, we’ve had 5,920,478 pageviews since I started using that stats program in July 2007. Since my first blog post was back in December 2005, that puts us well over 6 million pageviews.

This is astounding to me. I remember when I thought that maybe 1000 pageviews a day was the entire EHR market online. I’m glad I was wrong. Thanks for everyone that’s been reading. In fact, in another milestone, the EMR and HIPAA email subscription just blew by 4000 subscribers (now at 4,079). Considering I mistakenly didn’t start this email list until 2009, I’m happy that 4000 people want a daily email from EMR and HIPAA. Add in the 15,538 twitter followers on @ehrandhit and I’m humbled beyond belief.

Speaking of humbling experiences, this list of new and renewing EMR and HIPAA sponsors is really humbling as well. I’m very appreciative of their support.

New EMR and HIPAA Advertisers
Greenway – I’d been talking with Greenway for about a year about advertising on my network of websites. They might have been a little busy with something called an IPO (GWAY) that slowed the discussion. Now that the IPO is out of the way, we were able to finally finish up the details of Greenway advertising. For those who don’t know Greenway, they provide an integrated EHR and clinical research solution to more than 40,0000 providers in 30 specialties. Greenway has a single-database EHR, PM and interoperability solution called PrimeSUITE®. As one Greenway partner said to me at HIMSS, “Greenway is a good company with good people trying to do good for healthcare.” I can’t say I’ve seen anything to say otherwise.

NoMoreClipboard – The President of NoMoreClipboard, Jeff Donnell, was my first ever meeting at HIMSS. NoMoreClipboard has been doing some really interesting things since then including it’s most recent partnership with iMPak (see my interview with NoMoreClipboard and iMPak). I’d label iMPak as the most creative technology that I found at HIMSS 2012. Once I get a good demo video of the product, I’ll be doing a full post about it. It makes a lot of sense for the iMPak technology to be put together with the NoMoreClipboard technology. I’m looking forward to see what else they do together as well.

Online Tech – I think this is the first time I’ve had a web hosting company advertise on my site. After talking with Online Tech, I think I know why they want to advertise on EMR and HIPAA. Most hosting companies pay lip service to HIPAA, but Online Tech takes it very seriously. While I haven’t done a really deep dive into all the details of their hosting and HIPAA compliance, I could quickly tell how much HIPAA privacy and security was part of their culture. I believe HIPAA compliance is less about perfection and more about intent and effort. I think those who work with Online Tech won’t have to worry as much about being a “Covered Entity with Egg on Their Face.”

Renewing EMR and HIPAA Advertisers
Now to those companies that have renewed their ads on EMR and HIPAA since my last update:
Sequelmed (Advertising Since November 2009)
Ambir (Advertising Since January 2010)
Mitochon (Advertising Since December 2010)
Amazing Charts (Advertising Since May 2011)
Elsevier (Advertising Since September 2011)

As you can see, a number of them have been supporting EMR and HIPAA for a lot of years. I look forward to many more years working together with them.

No doubt this list and the numbers above set a high bar for me which I don’t take lightly. I’m sure I often don’t measure up, but I’ll keep doing what I can to provide value to people. Thanks for reading.

EMR and HIPAA Annual Reader Survey

Written by: John Lynn

Each year before HIMSS I like to put out a reader survey to try and gauge how we’re doing at EMRandHIPAA.com and what we can do to improve the website. I read and analyze (probably over-analyze) every comment that’s made about the site and feedback that’s given.

I really do appreciate those readers who are willing to take the time to answer the survey and provide honest feedback. Some of the comments still ring in my head today since I’m still deciding the best way to solve it (ie. improving the look of the site). Other comments like requests for certain types of content have driven a number of the topics I’ve covered throughout the year.

On that note, I’d be grateful if you’d take the time to fill out the following survey (here’s a link to the survey for those reading this in their email). The survey looks longer than it is because of the big text boxes. Most questions are pretty simple answers and it will only take you a minute or two to fill out the whole survey.

Loading…

If you’d prefer to just send me feedback directly, I always welcome comments on my Contact Us page as well.

Note: I’ll be posting the exact same survey on all my HealthcareScene.com websites. You only need to fill it out once for all the websites.
