   Next Up-Remote Robotic Surgery

   So, think of the World’s Best Surgeon being able to use ultra-fast satellite communication technology to wield surgical instruments from the other side of the country.

   Cool huh! But jobs … what jobs?

   Veebot

   If the Veebot should be more precise and accurate than humans; and given these criteria … it is simply more superior than human hands.

   Much like Robotic Surgery and the Da Vinic surgery machine has many great benefit in comparison to skillful surgeon hands. It can turn and twist with precision only robot can achieve.

   Bravo to Veebot…! It is another great medical technology advancement.

   Medical Practices Spending More on Technology

   Physician-owned, multispecialty practices reported a nearly 12 percent increase in total operating costs associated with technology in 2014 compared to 2013, according to a new survey conducted by the Medical Group Management Association.

   Technology spending per full-time equivalent physician last year was $20,693. Since 2010, this number has increased by almost 34 percent per FTE physician, “showing how much impact the technology boom and mandated electronic health records has had on individual practices,” concludes MGMA. Overall, MGMA’s annual cost and revenue survey of more than 3,100 groups finds medical practices are leveraging technology at a greater level to improve the quality of patient care by improving records management, optimizing workflow, and meeting HIPAA compliancy requirements.
