Have you read the life changing magic of tidying up , or Spark Joy , books by Marie Kondo ? Her new Netflix series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo debuted on January 1, and has enjoyed passionate early viewership by consumers in America who are among the world’s major hoarders. If you opened any pop culture magazine or newspaper in the past week, you probably saw the results of a PR blitz promoting KonMari, the trademarked name for Marie’s clean-out method.

From Paul Dattoli: I agree with you. My expertise is in IT DR in Healthcare. If it weren’t for HIPAA and Hi-Tech, there is little doubt in my mind that most healthcare organizations would do little to nothing in this space. That would leave us more vulnerable and PHI would be an even easier target for criminals. HIPAA forces our healthcare organizations to be resilient with respect to IT wether they like it or not.

Embarking on a New Year tends to bring forth much reflection and anticipation. While 2018 was often shadowed by political tensions and shifting pressures on our healthcare systems globally, it was also a year of significant reinforcement of the value and purpose of the patient experience movement. We introduced two new research studies at The Beryl Institute in 2018, both intended to help validate and focus the patient experience field.

Read our introductory blog post to learn the common characteristics of medication non-adherence and how to identify the patient-level barriers to adherence. It’s no wonder that a gap in knowledge is a primary cause of medication non-adherence. According to an analysis conducted by Health Dialog, approximately 11% of patients may not be adherent to their prescriptions because of knowledge gaps.

All health/care is retail now in America. I say this as most people in the U.S. who have health insurance must take on a deductible of some amount, which compels that insured individual to spend the first dollar on medical services up until they meet their financial commitment. At that point, health insurance kicks in, and then the insured may have to spend additional funds on co-payments for general medicines and services, and coinsurance for specialty drugs like injectables and high-cost new t

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a “caveat” is, “a warning to consider something before doing anything more.” It is fitting that CES is held in Las Vegas, land of high risk and, with a lot of luck, reward.

Lyn and Frances tested three assumptions that they believed linked housing and health: that housing contributes to health; that housing is not routinely included in health or social planning;’ and that the potential contribution of primary care is wasted.
