Compounding pharmacies have become one of the key players in today’s shift toward personalized medicine. The services they offer the healthcare industry allow healthcare providers to move past a one-size-fits-all model and deliver patient care that meets unique needs. But as demand for the services that compounding pharmacies provide has grown, supply chain issues have surfaced. Drug shortages, cost challenges, and concerns over quality have all impacted the ability of compounding pharmacies to play a...
A patient visits a cardiology practice website at 9:40 p.m. She completes a form, selects Tuesday morning, and receives an automatic message that says, “Your request has been received.” She reads that message as confirmation. The practice reads it differently. To staff, the form is simply an item waiting in a shared inbox until someone verifies the visit type, referral, insurance information, provider availability, and final time. No one owns the item the next morning....

End-of-life home care offers dignity, comfort and personalised support in familiar surroundings For many, living with respect and dignity towards the end of life means having the right to choose to stay at home, without the upheaval and emotional complexity of relocating to a strange building or medical facility. This also means being surrounded by memories and people who matter most and retaining the freedom to make personal choices. While in some cases, patients may...
A worker sits down for a pre-employment medical, answers a set of health questions, and software produces a recommendation about whether they are fit for the job. No clinician reviews the file, and no one can fully explain how the result was reached. It sounds far-fetched, yet AI is already moving into the health checks that decide who gets hired, and the technology is running ahead of the rules. The evidence suggests that handing over...
By Natalie Calderon Moultrie, Audiologist, HearUSA Today, preventive care is increasingly data-driven, with people taking a more active role in monitoring their health before small issues become serious problems. Wearables like smartwatches and smart rings can now track heart rate, sleep patterns, stress levels and daily activity, while apps monitor nutrition, mindfulness and fitness goals. Yet despite this explosion of health data, one of the most important indicators of long-term wellness is still largely ignored:...
In his revolutionary new book “Health Care: Compassion In Action,” author Greg Gallivan reveals how artificial intelligence will fix the problems that caused the rise in administrative duties introduced in the past that made it impossible for doctors to have the time necessary to properly practice medicine. The change forced the end of individual practitioner private practice and caused the need for medical doctor groups to be formed, which Gallivan believes fractured the patient-doctor relationship,...
