In a captivating piece for the WSJ’s Tech Europe blog, Ben Rooney postulates that health care may serve as the ‘next frontier’ for big data.
First, the two-syllable term is foreign to many outside of the IT field. Big data means that as datasets grow to unfathomable extents, they develop the ability to collect and interpret massive amounts of information – via everything from social media posts to smartphone GPS coordinates.
Designers are the telepathists of the business world. Some possess an oft-overlooked understanding of how humans process information, and use it to drive functionality, innovation and value for businesses.
As a testament to how highly we regard intelligent design at CareCloud, we sat down with Dr. Kathleen A. Harder, director of the Center for Design in Health at the University of Minnesota, and picked her brain about the crucial role of design in EHR development.
We’ve been busy designing and developing an electronic health record (EHR) system that is going to change the way physicians work and live.
CareCloud Charts has arrived.
Today, the excellent service CareCloud provides to a Miami-area medical practice was the subject of a full-length article in the Miami Herald’s Business Monday section.
Calling CareCloud “Healthcare’s helper,” reporter Joseph A. Mann Jr. highlighted how CareCloud’s web-based platform is efficiently managing the administrative workflow and billing tasks of Nephrology Associates of South Florida P.A.
As a myriad of providers, vendors and consultants are rushing to implement electronic medical records, it’s not difficult to imagine the frantic moment when meteors started falling from the sky above the dinosaurs as they stubbornly tried to evade their inevitable extinction.
The ability to adapt and evolve is the single most critical ability needed to become the strongest and longest lasting organism in any given ecosystem. In terms of technology, the more agile and lean your foundation is, the more quickly and efficiently you are able to release the features and enhancements you need to support your customers.
Microsoft’s new Kinect technology is all the rage among video gamers these days, but the technology behind the device is a smash hit amongst hackers and scientists most of all. With its multiple color and depth-sensing lenses, skeletal tracking system, and voice microphone array, these tinkering innovators see the Kinect technology as an incredible tool whose true purpose has yet to be discovered. Their experiments with the device got us thinking: Could the Kinect technology eventually make its way into healthcare IT?
Back in September, CareCloud was selected by IBM to be one of five Finalists competing to win IBM’s Silicon Valley SmartCamp, and when Rich and Albert traveled to Silicon Valley, they brought home the gold. Along with Streetline Networks, we won first place and the chance to compete with winners from around the world for the top prize. This week, CareCloud President and CEO Albert Santalo and Executive Vice President Rich Lopez del Rincon are in Dublin, Ireland, representing the company at the SmartCamp World Finals, and here’s wishing them the best of luck.
Hello, Internet! First of all, let’s start with an apology: it’s been a little while since we last updated the blog, but not for lack of content! We’ve been extremely busy around here. Between winning IBM SmartCamp Silicon Valley, signing up tons of new clients, and making constant enhancements to our system, we haven’t had a moment to rest. Not that we’re complaining or anything – things are really starting to pick up in the world of healthcare IT, and as always, we’re right on the cutting edge.
Foreword: Remember that friend of yours, the one that just doesn’t ‘get’ Twitter? The one that talks about how it’s a useless frivolity and a passing fad? We all know at least one. Some people wouldn’t know the future if it came up and bit them, and others try furiously to resist its advance.
On the other hand, us enlightened folk know that the conversations on Twitter are insightful and illuminating, and there’s always room for another voice.
So let’s try something. We’re creating a guide to ease people into the world of Twitter, and we want to get as many non-believers on board as we can. Send it to anyone you think would enjoy Twitter if they ever gave it a chance. If this quick tutorial converts even a few people into Tweeps, we all win. The more, the merrier, as they say.
The long-standing motto of Stanford University, coined nearly a century ago, is “Die Luft der Freiheit weht,” or “the wind of freedom blows.” In 2010, CareCloud rode into Silicon Valley on that very same wind to attend the AlwaysOn Summit at Stanford 2010, an annual technology conference that focuses on growth companies that are striving to disrupt the status quo through innovation. Founder and CEO Albert Santalo traveled to California to represent CareCloud at the event, which took place on July 27-29, and we’re very grateful for the entire experience.
