The Next Phase of RWE: Why Integration Matters More Than Data Collection

by Natalie Schibell, VP of Market Strategy and Communications at Aetion, 06/20/2025 Leave a Comment

RWE at a Crossroads: Can Healthcare Harmonize Global Regulatory Standards?

Real-world evidence (RWE) has become central to evaluating therapies, medical products, and health interventions—providing insight into how they perform outside controlled clinical trials. As healthcare systems seek more timely, representative, and cost-effective approaches to evidence generation, real-world data (RWD) is increasingly used to inform regulatory decisions, guide clinical practice, and shape health policy. As RWE gains traction, fundamental questions remain: How do we ensure

Healthcare’s Big Blind Spot: The Measurement Crisis in Inpatient Psychiatry

Healthcare's Big Blind Spot: The Measurement Crisis in Inpatient Psychiatry

Healthcare is moving deeper into the value-based era. Metrics drive decisions, outcomes define quality, and performance data shapes reimbursement. Yet amid this transformation, inpatient psychiatry and behavioral healthcare remain the most notable outlier—excluded for a variety of reasons including stigmatization, subjectivity, and a high degree of variation in clinical operations from site to site.  Behavioral healthcare lacks the foundational standards and management models that have

by Denise Marks, CFO and EVP of CareQuest Institute for Oral Health, and John T. McDevitt, PhD, Founder and Chief Scientist of OraLiva, INC. 06/19/2025 Leave a Comment

Smokeless Tobacco and Oral Cancer: A Health System Unprepared

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., with cigarette use responsible for one out of every three cancer deaths in the country. The rising use of smokeless tobacco is adding to these numbers by introducing a new set of health risks, as these products contain over 28 cancer-causing compounds. Although many people are turning to smokeless tobacco in an attempt to quit smoking cigarettes, the International Agency for Research on Cancer warns that smokeless tobacco may pose risks

Why Claims Data Alone Leave Gaps in Understanding the Patient Journey

Why Claims Data Alone Leave Gaps in Understanding the Patient Journey

In today’s precision medicine landscape, pharmaceutical companies and access teams face a critical challenge: understanding not just whether therapies work, but how they are accessed, adopted, and experienced by real-world patients. This requires going beyond traditional data sources, particularly claims data, which—while useful—often fails to capture the nuanced clinical and diagnostic steps that define the patient journey. To truly understand and improve therapy adoption, stakeholders need a

The Overlooked Connection Between GLP-1s, Obesity, and Eating Disorders

by Gretchen Zimmermann, MBA, RD, Vice President of Clinical Strategy at Vida Health 06/18/2025 Leave a Comment

The Overlooked Connection Between GLP-1s, Obesity, and Eating Disorders

The false belief that people with obesity do not have eating disorders is one of the most harmful misconceptions in obesity care. In reality, individuals with obesity are at a high risk for eating disorders.  The intersection of obesity, mental health, and disordered eating is complex. As GLP-1 receptor agonists (like semaglutide and tirzepatide) become more widely used for weight management, the risk of exacerbating eating disorders must be addressed. Obesity is not just a metabolic

Keeping Patients Connected: Strategies to Reduce Attrition in a Competitive Healthcare Market

For many patients today, staying with a provider is about more than just the clinical care – it’s about feeling heard, supported and in control of their healthcare journey. As consumers grow more accustomed to on-demand, personalized experiences in every aspect of their lives, their expectations around healthcare have also evolved. They’re more likely to seek out providers who don’t just deliver quality care, but also create a positive experience through convenience and responsiveness. For

Addressing Bias in Healthcare AI: A Guide for Developers and Clinicians

Anyone who touches the healthcare industry also touches the burdensome administration and management issues that erode the resources that could be applied to patient care. Patients struggle with confusing forms and tasks, while approximately 40% of healthcare workers spend at least a quarter of their workweek on repetitive tasks. Thankfully, the industry is embracing intelligent automation (IA) as a solution to streamline operations and improve patient experiences. Freeing Administrative

Eliminating Cancer Treatment Side-Effects Through Targeted Drug Delivery

by Tim Barrow-Williams, Head of Drug Delivery & Bill Hartman, Pharma and Medtech Design Expert at PA Consulting 06/16/2025 Leave a Comment

Eliminating Cancer Treatment Side-Effects Through Targeted Drug Delivery

Last year, the American Cancer Society predicted that in 2024, the US would reach two million annual new cancer cases for the first time in history. This number is staggering and signifies that cancer is truly a disease that impacts many lives each day.  While not all of these cases result in the grueling treatment associated with chemotherapy and radiation, many of those diagnosed will face the difficult road to recovery. Patients in chemotherapy experience a range of symptoms, from

How to Scale New Innovations in Autism Therapy

by Jeff Beck, Founder and CEO of AnswersNow 06/16/2025 Leave a Comment

How to Scale New Innovations in Autism Therapy

Autism acceptance differs from awareness in that acceptance reinforces the need for inclusion—an acknowledgement that neurodiversity can be a strength and that people with autism are valued, contributing members of society.  This sentiment has never been more important as the United States faces an unprecedented and fast-growing rise in autism cases. Unfortunately, against that backdrop, it’s also become clear that the way we as an industry and a health system have supported

How Cyber Threats Are Reshaping Healthcare Revenue Cycle Strategy

by Karly Rowe, President of Provider Business Unit at Inovalon 06/13/2025 Leave a Comment

How Cyber Threats Are Reshaping Healthcare Revenue Cycle Strategy

The impact of any data breach cannot be overstated, especially in healthcare. Unlike other sectors, such as financial services or travel, healthcare records contain “one of one” data – medical history cannot simply be replaced or revoked, making this data uniquely valuable to threat actors. Unfortunately, healthcare has seen a clear surge in data breaches in recent years.  Financially motivated hackers and insider threats are increasingly exploiting cybersecurity gaps that were
