Healthcare IT Today

For the 72nd episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we’re sharing 4 interesting healthcare stats and what those stats tell us about the future. I think that most of us love seeing various healthcare stats. However, understanding what those stats actually mean is what matters most. In this episode we share 4 stats we’d seen recently that stood out to us. Then, we discuss what those stats mean for healthcare organizations.

Here’s a look at the stats we discuss on this episode:

• 40% of health data is relatively good. 40% of health data can be lifted by AI and algorithms according to this article on Cleaning Up the Dirty Data in Healthcare.
• 30% of active & reserve military workers deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq suffer from a mental health condition and less than 50% of returning Veterans will receive the treatment they need according to GetWellNetwork.

  • Data Security
  • Interop
  • Clinical Communications
  • EHR Optimization
  • Telehealth
• According to a survey by Center for Connected Medicine, Health System Telehealth adoption has settled at 20% or less of medical appointments.
