To offer valuable insights to healthcare marketers and doctors, 314e has launched a fresh wave of new content on Practifly's Instagram page. Practifly, known for its Healthcare Content Management System, offers a seamless website experience for patients.

3. 314e Didn't Forget Your Biggest EHR Training Challenge: Our Newsletter Series Tackles the "Forget Me Not" of Learning

Ever feel like information just bounces off your brain? Studies show we forget a whopping 60% of what we learn within hours (thanks, Hermann Ebbinghaus!).

Now imagine this. Your learners are knee-deep in EHR training, soaking up every detail like sponges. But fast-forward a few hours, and it’s like the brain hit the reset button overnight. Frustrating, right?

Keeping this in mind, 314e created a 3-part newsletter series that dives deep into the reasons EHR knowledge mysteriously vanishes. It uncovers why burned-out clinicians forget even faster and, most importantly, equips you with strategies to make EHR training actually stick.

4. Wolters Kluwer Survey: Majority of US Physicians Embrace Adoption of GenAI in Healthcare

A recent survey conducted by Wolters Kluwer Health reveals a notable shift among U.S. physicians toward embracing Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in healthcare. Over two-thirds view GenAI as beneficial, with 40% ready to implement it at the point of care this year. 

Transparency regarding GenAI materials is paramount, with physicians emphasizing the need for content created by medical professionals. Despite recognizing GenAI's potential, discrepancies exist between physician and patient perceptions, highlighting the importance of alignment.

The survey underscores the necessity for clear guidelines and policies, addressed by Wolters Kluwer Health's expansion of its AI Labs initiative.

5. Cyberattack on Change Healthcare Spurs Urgent Call for Healthcare Cybersecurity Reform

A recent cyberattack targeting Change Healthcare has sparked widespread concern within the healthcare sector, prompting an urgent call for comprehensive cybersecurity reform.

With disruptions in payment processing and financial strains for providers, the urgency for robust cyber security measures is paramount. Healthcare organizations must prioritize resilience planning, conduct risk analyses, and scrutinize third-party vendors' protocols to bolster defenses.

Despite challenges in investment and skilled personnel, federal regulators are pushing for increased cybersecurity, signaling penalties for non-compliance. This incident underscores the critical need for swift and comprehensive cybersecurity reforms to safeguard the healthcare sector against escalating cyber threats.
