Beyond the Breach: 10 Ways Healthcare Organizations Can Strengthen Patient Privacy

Despite decades of investment in privacy programs, unauthorized access to patient records remains a persistent and costly challenge for healthcare organizations.  Patient privacy breaches cost an average of $9.8 million per incident and include snooping on friends, coworkers and family members and looking into the charts of celebrities. Clearly, the stakes are high, yet current efforts to discourage, detect, and address violations still leave room for improvement. Here are 10 ways

The Hidden Threat: Why Client-Side Security is the Next Frontier for Healthcare

For healthcare organizations, addressing cybersecurity risks is paramount. In 2024, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported a record-breaking 677 major healthcare data breaches, affecting over 182 million individuals. Hacking incidents dominated these breaches, with many emphasizing the critical need to secure client-side environments where attackers exploit end-user devices and web interfaces. Despite the growing sophistication of healthcare cybersecurity measures, client-side

Unlocking $90M in Revenue: The Value-Based Imperative for OR Optimization

Over the past decade, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has been steadily reshaping how U.S. healthcare is funded – shifting from a fee-for-service model to one that emphasizes value, outcomes, and efficiency. Starting with the Affordable Care Act in 2010 and accelerating with initiatives like the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) in 2015, CMS introduced models such as the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), the Accountable Care Organization (ACO)

Elevating Patient Trust: Why Automated Reputation Management Is Essential for Healthcare Organizations

In today’s digital-first healthcare landscape, trust is often built long before a patient walks through a clinic’s doors. For many, the decision to choose a provider hinges on a simple Google search. In fact, more than 70% of recruiters check candidates’ online reputations before hiring. Rely on online reviews as a primary decision-making tool when selecting healthcare providers. In this environment, an organization’s digital reputation has become a critical part of the patient experience and a

Patient Experience is Employee Experience: Delivering Care is a Team Sport

Patient Experience is Employee Experience: Delivering Care is a Team Sport

"Teamwork" has become the most important driver of strong inpatient experiences. This might seem surprising, but it shouldn't be. Patients are extraordinarily sensitive observers of healthcare environments. They’re not just paying attention to how their care team interacts with them, but how clinicians interact with one another. When they leave the door open during a hospital stay, they're tuning in to the most compelling reality show in their lives at that moment: the team caring for

The Future of Healthcare Is in Your Pocket: How AI and Smartphones Are Transforming Patient Care

The Future of Healthcare Is in Your Pocket: How AI and Smartphones Are Transforming Patient Care

The U.S. healthcare system is in crisis. Financial instability is straining hospitals, frontline staff are stretched beyond capacity, and patients continue to encounter disjointed care and unequal access. Decades of focusing on reactive treatment over prevention have left us ill-equipped to manage chronic conditions, rising costs, and growing health disparities.  Despite widespread consensus about the importance of population health management and value-based care, the current approach

Why AI Isn’t Curing Disease, Yet: Crossing Pharma’s Valley of Death with Physical Intelligence

Why AI Isn’t Curing Disease, Yet: Crossing Pharma’s Valley of Death with Physical Intelligence

We were told AI would cure disease in years. That’s a fallacy. Today, over 90% of clinical drug candidates still fail. It costs more than $2 billion and over a decade to bring a single drug to market. And now the industry faces a brutal paradox, which is the promise of exponential progress stuck inside a system governed by diminishing returns. This is pharma’s version of Eroom’s Law, i.e.  the inverse of Moore’s Law,  where the return on drug development declines as science

Smarter Medication Management: The Shift from Polypharmacy to Personalized, Data-Driven Care

As older adults increasingly find themselves managing 10 to 15 medications—spanning prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements—the urgency to refine medication management has never been greater. Over the last two decades, the average number of prescriptions for individuals 65 and older has doubled, driven by a mix of longer life expectancy, chronic disease management, symptom-based prescribing, and the common practice of layering additional medications

Healthcare’s Unstructured Data Problem: The Case for Modernization

Like most other sectors operating in the digital economy, healthcare has become hugely reliant on unstructured data. It’s widely acknowledged that this data type, which doesn’t follow a predefined format and resides outside traditional databases, now comprises 80-90% of all organizational data. In healthcare settings, this can encompass a wide range of items, including medical imaging, scans, emails, claims documents, and device outputs, among many other possibilities. This information is
