He is the author of multiple original research publications and has written a number of articles for medical health magazines. He is the author of a chapter in a medical text book. He has lectured extensively across the country typically talking about diabetic kidney disease. He has given regional talks in NY, VT and NH and spoke nationally at the American Association of Diabetes Educators in LA. He more recently was an expert panelist at the 2012 Spring Clinical Meeting for the National Kidney Foundation where …he lectured on using electronic health records to drive high quality care in dialysis units.
Focused on attaining high quality care Dr. Hurwitz implemented a custom software solution in his office when he first opened in 2002. Using skills obtained during his research training he created software algorithms for numerous aspects of kidney health. These algorithms were subsequently incorporated into a large scale electronic health record used in dialysis units across the country. He is now working closely with developers and dialysis caregivers to further improve the use of EHR’s in the care of patients with all stages of kidney disease.
Dr. Hurwitz can also be seen around town playing solo acoustic music. He plays at local taverns and marinas remembering that laughter and music are some of the best medicine!
