Book Description
Realizing the promise of digital technology will depend on the ability to share information across time and space from multiple devices, sources, systems, and organizations. The major barrier to progress is not technical; rather, it is in the failure of organizational demand and purchasing requirements. In contrast to many other industries, the purchasers of health care technologies have not marshaled their purchasing power to drive interoperability as a key requirement. Better procurement practices, supported by compatible interoperability platforms and architecture, will allow for better, safer patient care; reduced administrative workload for clinicians; protection from cybersecurity attacks; and significant financial savings across multiple markets. With funding support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, this National Academy of Medicine Special Publication represents a multi-stakeholder exploration of the path toward achieving large-scale interoperability through strategic acquisition of health information technology solutions and devices. In this publication, data exchanges over three environments are identified as critical to achieving interoperability: facility-to-facility (macro-tier); intra-facility (meso-tier); and at point-of-care (micro-tier). The publication further identifies the key characteristics of information exchange involved in health and health care, the nature of the requirements for functional interoperability in care processes, the mapping of those requirements into prevailing contracting practices, the specification of the steps necessary to achieve system-wide interoperability, and the proposal of a roadmap for using procurement specifications to engage those steps. The publication concludes with a series of checklists to be used by health care organizations and other stakeholders to accelerate progress in achieving system-wide interoperability.

Second Sight

ISBN:
Category : Blindness
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The human eye is only capable of detecting a miniscule percentage of the electromagnetic spectrum; we call this visible light. It is this limited perception that has defined our very reality as a species. Second Sight is the story of a brilliant young scientist who develops the nano-technology to cure blindness. He could never have prepared for the betrayal and intrigue that befell him, nor could he have foreseen the hidden agendas that lay waiting in the shadows. Michael Rose's synchronistic journey into the realms of possibility would not only leave him questioning his own sanity, but the very nature of existence itself. Neither he nor his nefarious benefactors stopped to ask: if this nano-technology could enhance the function of the human eye, what else would it see?

Music Therapy Reimbursement
Author: Judy Simpson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Music therapy
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
The profession of music therapy is receiving more and more recognition as an effective intervention in a variety of healthcare settings. Given this increased attention, the question of how to fund music therapy services also is being asked more frequently by many key decision makers. Discovering potential ways to "reimburse" or "cover" music therapy services through public and private third party payment systems has become a critical component to the business of music therapy. In order for music therapists to be successful in their practices, they must demonstrate competency regarding the current healthcare market, the insurance industry, and where music therapy fits within this environment. This book is designed to provide music therapists and related professionals with a basic understanding of the reimbursement process. Students, clinicians, and educators will find this resource helpful as they explore opportunities in healthcare funding. In addition to providing valuable resources and outlining specific guidelines, this book also includes the results of surveys and interviews with member music therapists reporting the successes with third party payment. Clinicians also will find marketing tools, sample forms, and coding information as practical supports to implementing the reimbursement process in their own practices.
