info_outlineIn this episode of the Surviving Healthcare podcast, we will continue this month's discussion of technology and its place in healthcare with a conversation about how technology can help us better coordinate health care.
You'll hear from Asif Khan who is the founder and CEO of CareMerge. His goal through CareMerge is to "forge meaningful connections between providers, payers, families and seniors seeking to improve communication in today’s complex healthcare environment." Asif is a leader in the technological revolution that is happening in healthcare.
We talk about care coordination and how technology is helping to solve the problem, especially with seniors. In many cases, there are a great many actors responsible for a patient’s care and each has to know what the others are doing. We discuss what Caremerge does and how it's changing things to improve health care by freeing healthcare professionals up to do their job more efficiently and more completely.
The conversation then turns to the dynamics of the current medical records system and how the technology fits into it. You will hear a discussion of the issue of adoption of this type of technology and the role of the Affordable Care Act in that adoption.
You'll then hear his thoughts on the future of healthcare. One of the uses of technology is collecting a lot of useful data that could potentially lead to improved care, but it could also prevent health problems and lead to people leading healthier and more productive lives.
