Within a day of going live at a national care organization, Evidently surfaced a decade-old CT scan. It had been scanned in from an out-of-state emergency department, and it showed a small abdominal aortic aneurysm that nobody had ever followed up on. The patient didn’t remember the scan. The provider never saw the scan until they had access to Evidently. A newly ordered scan showed the aneurysm had grown past the threshold for surgery. The provider acted, changing the course of care and saving a life in the process.
Lifemed AI, a non-generative AI-driven healthcare technology company, today announced its formal partnership with MEDITECH as an Accelerator-level member of the MEDITECH Alliance program. The designation brings Lifemed’s non-generative deep-learning neural network platform, DeepClaim, which is purpose-built to eliminate claims denials, automate revenue cycle workflows, and recover lost reimbursement, directly to MEDITECH’s network of hospitals and health systems nationwide.
St. Luke’s Health System is deploying AI Assisted Virtual Nursing and Telehealth and AI Assisted Virtual Sitting modules, along with advanced AI capabilities designed to improve patient safety, strengthen clinical workflows, and support care teams through intelligent automation and virtual collaboration technologies.
The federal Rural Health Transformation Program will provide $50 billion to states from 2026 through 2030. Its goal is to improve access to care in rural communities. For hospitals struggling to fill jobs, the funding could help. But I know from experience that hiring incentives and temporary staff can only carry a hospital so far.
Most health plans did not set out to build a patchwork of vendors. It happened one urgent need at a time: a risk adjustment tool here, a quality reporting platform there, a separate chart retrieval vendor, and yet another system for regulatory submissions. Each decision made sense on its own.
Drug diversion creates consequences that extend far beyond pharmacy operations. Legal, compliance, nursing, risk management, human resources, and executive teams are often pulled into lengthy investigations and remediation efforts. As health systems face increasing regulatory scrutiny and financial pressures, diversion prevention should be viewed not as a compliance expense but as a strategic investment in enterprise risk reduction.
Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, argued at the Oracle Health and Life Sciences Summit on Sept. 23 that the industry is asking the wrong question. The issue isn’t whether to adopt AI but what healthcare is putting it on top of.
Dental Care Alliance has appointed Doug Simpson as Chief Financial Officer and Mike Murphy as Chief Marketing Officer, strengthening its executive leadership team as the organization enters its next phase of growth.
One problem is plaguing health systems: patients who have already been diagnosed never make it to the treatment they need. The cost lands twice, on patients who deteriorate while they wait and on health systems that lose the procedure along with the imaging and follow-up built around it.
Plenful, the leading AI automation platform for pharmacy teams, is ready with Rebate Intelligence. The solution gives covered entities an automated way to submit and reconcile rebates under the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) revised 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program.
Healthcare costs continue to rise, putting pressure on employers to balance affordability, employee satisfaction, and business performance. As a result, employer groups are looking for more than retrospective reports and utilization summaries.
Healthcare procurement is under increasing strain as financial pressure collides with growing operational demands. To understand how leaders are responding, Advisory Board conducted a survey as part of its 2026 State of Healthcare Procurement research.
Your organization has already invested in retrieving and reviewing medical records. The retrospective coding file captures one part of the value those records contain. But what happens to the clinical information that could help your prospective team decide which conditions need evaluation next?
Most revenue cycle teams measure denials management the same way: overturn rate and dollars recovered. Those numbers matter, and a team that moves them is doing real work. But both are lagging indicators. They tell you what you won back—not why the denial happened, or whether the same one will land again next quarter.
Patients need clear information, practical access, and support through recommended follow-up. Care teams need timely data and workflows to identify patients due for screening, engage patients, and coordinate next steps.
For most of my 20 years in workforce strategy, our industry has sold the same idea in new packaging: more services, more features, more data and now AI. Some of it helps. But “more” is the newest shiny object. It does not drive the results health systems need.
Specialty therapies continue to transform treatment across oncology, diabetes, rare disease, and other complex disease states. From 2020 to 2025, specialty medications accounted for 75% of new drug approvals. However, developing new therapies doesn’t immediately translate into patients receiving them quickly, consistently, or successfully.
Operating rooms are managing more complex cases, more vendor trays and growing regulatory demands amid persistent workforce pressures. In that environment, relying on careful clinicians and manual processes alone leaves preventable gaps in surgical safety.
When primary care serves as the coordinating engine of a health system, care can become more connected, preventive and sustainable. The longitudinal relationships primary care teams build with their patients equip clinicians with a complete view of baseline health, history and social circumstances.
