The Affordable Care Act has shaken up the healthcare industry. It’s changed reimbursement rates, increased the nation’s patient base and encouraged the creation of new ACOs. Needless to say, physicians are now dealing with an altered landscape.

To help physician’s prepare for the changes, the Health Care Solutions Alliance (HCSA), in conjunction with the Dade and Broward County Medical Associations, is hosting the second annual Critical Next Steps: Your Practice, ACOs and ACA conference on June 29.

Defiance isn’t usually the first word you want associated with a child, but Bella Rodriguez-Torres was indeed defiant. And her defiance was inspiring.

Diagnosed with Alveolar Rhadbodomyosarcoma at the age of 4, doctors thought she wouldn’t make it to the first grade. But Bella defied the odds by battling cancer and other complications until she sadly passed away this week at the age of 10.

Eventful is an understatement. CareCloud was out in full force last Thursday morning at Jungle Island as CEO Albert Santalo stepped off a plane from San Francisco and into a Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce (GMCC) panel on the future of South Florida’s tech ecosystem, then later accepting the top award at the Chamber’s Annual Technology Leaders of the Year Awards.

It’s official. CareCloud unveiled its Waterfront stronghold on Tuesday morning in a non-traditional ribbon-cutting that featured our CEO Albert Santalo and Mayor Thomas Menino of Boston.

The event is the culmination of months of preparation, and has even seen its fair share of news, such as this fellow Miamian’s Boston.com article. We’ve even asked members of the Miami team who were present at the ceremony to bring us back a little cold weather, just to get into the spirit.

HIMSS is an annual event that serves as a sort of Circus Maximus for the healthcare technology industry.

It’s a place where the giants, insurgents, innovators, and hangers-on gather to compete for the buzz and mindshare of American healthcare influencers. Sometimes, carnage results.

Tere Salazar-Krauss was facing a big challenge. After 14 years on Allscripts Misys, her 5-surgeon, Miami-based practice needed a new integrated EHR/PM system. She was given one year to search for the right system.

“The outside world was pushing us toward an EHR,” Tere said. “We looked at Misys but found it to be too expensive and too complicated.”

In an effort to catch the tail end of a viral trend before it fizzles out, CareCloud has offered its version of the Harlem Shake craze and only hopes to do Baauer’s original track justice.

Yeah, we did it. Enjoy.

Thousands of runners from across the globe compete in the ING Miami Marathon each year, resulting in tears, smiles, hugs, sacrifice, perseverance, pride and a bunch of other words from motivational posters. And why not? 26.219 miles can induce nausea before you even double knot your Nikes.

CareCloud was represented at the yearly event, which took place Sunday, January 27th. Our inimitable Director of Design and Community, Mike Cuesta, and younger brother/Sales Development Rep Anthony Cuesta, were in full swing, rocking our trademark blue and smiling for supporters’ cameras.
