You might say we saw it coming. In 2009, when our then fledgling business processing outsourcing company transitioned to a fully remote workplace, one of our biggest concerns was that the isolation and loneliness of working from home could derail our momentum. We knew intuitively and from our research that the need to connect socially […]
The practice known as prior authorization has become the poster child for good intentions gone awry in healthcare. Conceived to prevent unnecessary or low-value medical services by requiring an insurer’s approval prior to ordering certain procedures, tests, or treatments, the process has come under fire by provider organizations for creating barriers to necessary care. In […]
We’ve seen the writing on the wall—and on clinicians’ computers—for some time now. As far back as 2016, a  study of U.S. physicians found that for every hour of direct face time with patients nearly two additional hours were spent on electronic health record (EHR) tasks and desk work, often spilling over to time at […]

It’s a fact of modern life that the human body was not designed for sitting long hours in front of a computer. Common aches and pains offer everyday proof. Less obviously, however, sitting for uninterrupted stretches impairs the body’s ability to prevent the build-up of plaque that restricts blood flow to the heart. In one […]
In the dizzying year of 2020 when working from home became the so-called “new normal,” BroadPath posted our work from home maturity model as a roadmap for companies abruptly forced to leave brick-and-mortar behind.

Among the many changes wrought by Covid-19 was declaration of a public health emergency (PHE) that ensured continuous enrollment in the Medicaid program for millions of low- and middle-income Americans. Under the PHE, states are required to keep people enrolled in Medicaid as a condition of receiving a temporary increase in the federal share of […]

The Covid-19 pandemic intensified a healthcare workforce crisis long in the making. Even before the pandemic, the United States lacked enough doctors to meet the country’s healthcare needs—the shortage of doctors in 2019 was around 20,000, and this deficit could reach 124,000 by 2034, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.  Approximately 1.4 million […]
As an innovator in remote work for over a decade, I have seen the Great Resignation and the normalization of working from home create a perfect storm for the industry, but also a clear impetus for fortifying the well-being of employees.
