I love being around people that just ooze passion for the work they do. You know the type of person I'm talking about. The people who have dug so deeply into a subject that they can share every nook and cranny and when they do you know they understand that topic 1000 times better than you. Often times, when they describe all the details, I realize that I'd seen or felt what they were talking about, but I hadn't studied it enough to realize that was why it mattered. This is exactly how I felt when I sat down in this interview with Mike Cuesta, Partner at Atomic Health, to talk about design and branding.

As part of our ongoing series of telehealth interviews with EHR vendors, we're excited to share our interview with Tim Costantino, VP, Head of Product at AdvancedMD. In this series, we talk with EHR vendors to better understand how they're approaching telehealth. Are they developing telehealth in house or are they relying on partners? If they have their own in-house telehealth solution, what features does it include? How are they approaching integrating telehealth into their EHR and how will they handle this with partners?

For those involved in the 340B program, you know that there are some unique challenges associated with adding new locations. In many cases, healthcare organizations have to wait years to start fully seeing the benefits of 340B for new locations. The good news is that a new HRSA FAQ clarifies 340B Eligibility for new locations and it will make a big impact for healthcare organizations in this regard.
To learn more about these changes, we sat down with Lisa Scholz, PharmD, FACHE, Head of Industry Relations at Sentry Data Systems, to understand the clarifications HRSA provided and what healthcare organizations should know about the changes.

As healthcare gets more complex, revenue cycle management has gotten more complex as well as it becoming more difficult to find high quality RCM staff. That’s why it’s no surprise that many medical practices are outsourcing their RCM efforts. This was the case for Heather Boone, Clinical Supervisor at Orlando Heart and Vascular Institute, who decided to work with eClinicalWorks‘ revenue cycle management services. After choosing to have eClinicalWorks manage their RCM, they saw an increase of 30% in their reimbursements. Plus, payments are made an average of 21 days faster than before thanks for a mixture of eCW’s highly skilled staff, learnings they bring from managing other practices’ RCM, and leveraging AI.Learn more about Orlando Heart & Vascular Institute: https://www.heartorlando.com/Learn more about eCW: https://www.eclinicalworks.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
