As the industry moves beyond mere EHR adoption and meaningful use, small practices of 10 physicians or fewer told researchers that they want their EMRs to do more than just meet regulatory requirements, a new KLAS report on small physician practices finds. But first, they want the basics to just work better. That means tailoring usability for them and improving customer service. As part of this research, KLAS interviewed representatives from AdvancedMD, Allscripts, Aprima, athenahealth, Azalea Health, CareCloud, Cerner, CureMD, eMDs, Greenway Health, Kareo, NextGen Healthcare, Quest Diagnostics, and Virence Health (GE Healthcare) to determine how well the vendors were aligned with the small practices’ needs and what is driving dissatisfaction among small groups.

Drug testing can be complicated. Much like a baseball player, you must learn the fundamentals of drug testing to execute a successful, drug-free workplace program. No one hits a home run the first time up to bat. Whether you are a drug testing rookie or a veteran, it’s important to understand the benefits of different specimen types and what test type fits the unique needs of your workforce. In our upcoming webinar series, Back to Basics, we take a closer look at the three most common test types for drug testing offered by Quest Diagnostics: urine, hair, and oral fluid.

Americans have multiple numbers at their fingertips, but some of the numbers that could be most important to their health are not among them. New research released today by Quest Diagnostics, the world’s leading provider of diagnostic insights, shows that a majority of adults don’t know vital health information for them or their family members, but nearly all would like to be able to access their health information online. Results from the “Know Your Numbers“ survey show that more people remember their social media log-ins, current bank balances, Wi-Fi-passwords and even the security code on the back of their credit card than they do important personal health data, including their blood type and cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Mike Sims owns Charlotte CBD on Central Avenue in Charlotte. Their business is exploding and they’ve only been open 18 weeks. “We thought it would be successful but nothing like we’ve seen,” says Owens while a wave of customers shopped in his store. So what if you use a CBD product and have to take a random drug test? We posed that question to Dr. Barry Sample with Quest Diagnostics, the nation’s leading provider in drug testing, where millions of drug tests are administered every year.
