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.

I’m glad to be getting back to health economic issues after spending the last couple of weeks firmly focused on consumers, digital health technologies and CES 2019. There’s a lot for me to address concerning health care costs based on news and research published over the past couple of weeks. We’ll start with the centerpiece that will provide the overall context for this post: that’s the ongoing research of Gerard Anderson and colleagues under the title, It’s Still

This is the third installation of our “Overcoming Barriers to Medication Adherence” blog series. 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.

HIPAA, everyone’s favorite scapegoat for all (OK, most) of the ills of the modern healthcare-industrial complex, is perpetually called out as being in dire need of a rewrite. Well, that moment has arrived (maybe). There’s an RFI out right now, published as part of the federales’ “ Regulatory Sprint to Coordinated Care ,” announced by HHS Secretary Alex Azar in mid-2018.

Health begins at home. I found evidence for that, beyond my own N of 1 understanding, in a research article published in the U K in 2000 by Lyn Harrison and Frances Heywood. 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.
