In this episode of Real Talk, Scot Morris, OD, sits down with Ryan Smith, MD, Head of Business Intelligence and Strategy at Glaukos, to dissect the “maze” of eye care data. They explore the critical disconnect between electronic health records (EHRs), insurance claim data and clinical outcomes.
Dr. Smith shares expert insights on the challenges of data silos—where even neighboring practices using the same systems can’t communicate—and how these gaps impact patient care and insurance reimbursement.
From the complexities of “market access variables” to the potential for AI to automate the administrative hurdles of prior authorizations, this conversation offers a high-level strategic look at how a more transparent, integrated data ecosystem could revolutionize the industry.
