Syndromic Monitoring Gives Public Health Teams a Head Start on Emergencies

Syndromic Monitoring Gives Public Health Teams a Head Start on Emergencies

From Buzzword to Lifesaver  Once dismissed as another healthcare buzzword, syndromic monitoring has proven its value in real-world scenarios. At its core, it captures early health signals—like symptom trends or provider impressions—and analyzes them in near real time. Rather than waiting days or weeks for lab confirmations or hospital reports, public health teams receive early alerts that support action when it matters most.  Heat Waves and the Power of Early

Healthcare Cybersecurity to Safeguard PHI and Avoid Data Breaches

For healthcare organizations, maintaining real-time awareness of where PHI lives is one of the most difficult aspects of preventing data breaches. With sensitive data frequently exchanged and transferred between internal teams,

“One Health” Disease Surveillance: Why Integrated Systems Are Critical for Public Health and Economic Stability

Is our siloed approach to health surveillance creating the perfect conditions for the next pandemic?  Recent outbreaks—from avian influenza to E. coli contamination in leafy greens—highlight the urgent need for integrated disease surveillance systems. Yet, many public health surveillance systems still operate in isolation, creating dangerous blind spots in our ability to detect and respond to zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental contamination. "The “One

by Gary Hamilton, CEO of InteliChart 07/18/2025 Leave a Comment

Improving Pediatric Care Through Active Parent and Caregiver Involvement

New Opportunities for Healthcare AI: Decoding the 2026 Medicare Advantage Rate Hike

Last month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released its 2026 Medicare Advantage (MA) Rate Announcement, projecting a 5.06% average increase in payments to MA plans. That’s a notable jump from the 3.70% increase we saw in 2025. More than just a financial adjustment, this signals growing confidence in the Medicare Advantage model—and with it, growing expectations. What does this mean simply? Insurance companies offering these plans will receive more government funding,

What Are Healthcare’s Most Pressing Revenue Integrity Issues in The Remote-Work Era?

With more and more organizations merging for scale and sustainability, revenue cycle teams are being centralized, taking these critical personnel further away from physicians at the bedside. Remote teams are finding it harder than ever to collaborate with clinicians on critical functions.  Simultaneously, more revenue cycle functions are being automated as robotic process automation and generative AI evolves. With fewer administrative personnel in general — and even fewer

With more than 20 years of experience at a major health insurance company, I’ve seen firsthand how challenging provider data management can be. I’ve worked with teams reconciling files from delegated groups, fielded calls from frustrated providers, and navigated compliance pitfalls that can quickly become operational headaches. But the stakes have never been higher than they are now under the No Surprises Act (NSA). For years, maintaining an accurate provider directory was considered a best

Boost Medicare Star Ratings: A Strategic Game Plan for Health Plans

 As they navigate complex times, health insurers have their eye on two important financial indicators. And both are moving in the wrong direction. Costs are on the rise while Medicare Star Ratings are on the decline. Separate but related, the two trends converge on the same idea: health plans need to enable higher quality care at a lower price. If it sounds like a Herculean feat, that’s because it is. But some health plans are making it happen. While some of the cost pressures—for
