1.Check Your Hospital And Doctor Records

Who hasn’t experienced some hassle obtaining a medical record? Whether it is to show old records to a new physician, to get immunization records for school, or to have the x-ray handy to show off to your friends, having Digital Health Tools access to your medical records just flat out makes sense.

Unfortunately, this isn’t always as easy as it sounds but with the growing acceptance of patient portals it is becoming easier to literally look up your records on your phone.

Since your records are protected under HIPAA and are private, you will need a login and password from your doctor or hospital to see them; but once you have login credentials many portals have their own apps that let you keep your medical records at your fingertips.

You can check out a more comprehensive guide on connecting to your medical records here.

2. Get Real-Time Price Information About Medical Procedures And Prescriptions

A major topic in modern society is the debate over healthcare. One of the major flaws we see in our healthcare system is the lack of transparent and consistent pricing schemes for procedures.

There are many culprits as well as rather reasonable reasons these occur in healthcare but kickbacks for insurance companies are a major focus of this.

Mostly, this is because the private insurance framework of our country greatly disenfranchises the uninsured and underinsured through favoritism for insurance companies by healthcare networks.

Several tools are being developed through which allow patients with and without insurance to get accurate location-based estimates on what medical procedures and medications should cost.

My two favorites are Healthcare Bluebook and GoodRx. Healthcare Bluebook focuses on medical procedures, while GoodRx focuses on prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

Both allow patients to enter their location and medical needs and get real-time price comparisons.

Digital health tools gain momentum among physicians

0

The adoption of digital health tools has grown significantly among all physicians since 2016 when the American Medical Association (AMA) first benchmarked the integration of emerging health technology into clinical practice.

New AMA research released today shows more physicians than ever recognize digital health tools as an advantage for driving improved efficiency and safety in health care.

“The rise of the digital-native physician will have a profound impact on health care and patient outcomes, and will place digital health technologies under pressure to perform according to higher expectations,” said AMA Board Chair Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, M.D., M.P.H.

“The AMA survey provides deep insight into the emerging requirements that physicians expect from digital technologies and sets an industry guidepost for understanding what a growing number of physicians require to adopt new technology.”

The AMA Digital Health Research investigates shifts in physician adoption of digital health tools during the last three years, along with current attitudes and expectations among physicians.

The research examines seven categories of digital health tools that engage patients for clinical purposes, interpret and use clinical data, and manage outcomes and other measures of care quality.

According to the AMA survey, adoption trends in the following seven categories are helping to propel the digital transformation of health care.

Tele-visits/virtual visits – Physician adoption doubled from 14% in 2016 to 28% in 2019, the largest growth among the digital health tool categories. This category includes audio/video connections used to see patients remotely.

Remote monitoring and management for improved care – Physician adoption jumped from 13% in 2016 to 22% in 2019.

This category includes mobile applications and devices for use by chronic disease patients for daily measurement of vital signs, such as weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, etc.

Readings are visible to patients and transmitted to the physician’s office. Alerts are generated as appropriate for missing or out of range readings.

Remote monitoring for efficiency – Physician adoption modestly grew from 12% in 2016 to 16% in 2019. This category includes smart versions of common clinical devices such as thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, and scales that automatically enter readings in the patient medical record.
