Late last year, I presented on social media at the annual AAHAM conference . I was also invited to submit an article for their Journal of Healthcare Administrative Management and chose to explore opportunities to leverage a variety of emerging technologies for improved revenue cycle processes across the entire care continuum.
In the article, I review the role of social media, mobile, remote monitoring and portals and list some specific opportunities for healthcare organizations. Read the article and leave a comment if you can think of anything I’ve forgotten or haven’t yet envisioned!

Could not agree more. I have been working in developing mobile applications for healthcare for almost two years. Many are still stuck in paper based processes. With new mobile apps for secure messaging and charge capture let physician in the hospital instantly capture face-sheet with the smart phone and immediately send it to billing agency along with the CPT/ICD codes. This cuts down time and errors and lost bills. The key is to link mobile and desktop applications so that the staff and billing agency can easily interact with physicians.
