Patients expect their hospital experience to involve nothing less than the latest technology. That is why the idea of too much paperwork scares them off, sometimes to the point of choosing the Internet for help with medical conditions. These are among the findings of an online survey conducted by Harris Poll of more than 2,000 adults in the United States on behalf of Ricoh Americas Corp. The focus was information mobility in American hospitals, the ability to efficiently move information among clinical and administrative workers regardless of whether it is paper-based or digital.
 

Healthcare organizations are embracing patient engagement through strategies and investments centered on patient portals, according to a new study by HIMSS Analytics, a global research and analytics firm. However, healthcare leaders question whether their current trajectory will lead to the increased patient involvement required to improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs, the survey found.

Few industries are undergoing as many challenges as healthcare.  Rising costs, the move to electronic health records (EHRs) and concerns about keeping protected health information (PHI) secure, continues to be top priorities for healthcare providers. Canon U.S.A. Inc. demonstrated its integrated document capture systems and mobile solutions at the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society Annual Conference (HIMSS) in Chicago April 13-15. These digital imaging and workflow management solutions are designed to help organizations increase efficiency and help support EHR interoperability, while enhancing security and contributing to overall cost savings for healthcare environments. 

Teleradiology interoperability vendor Dicom Systems is partnering with Health Level, a developer of data liquidity and analysis technology. Both companies presented at the 2015 Annual HIMSS conference and demonstrated the first results of the partnership.
 

Zebra Medical Vision launched a closed beta of its Medical Imaging Research platform and announced funding of $8 million led by Khosla Ventures, with participating parties DeepFork Capital and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. The company's solution enables researchers to quickly develop imaging algorithms and insights based on large-scale datasets and advanced processing power. Zebra's commercialization pipeline will then expedite clinical application of imaging research products.
