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

by Tanya Sanderson, Sr. Director of Revenue Integrity, Xsolis 07/16/2025 Leave a Comment

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

New Strategies Needed: No Surprises Act and the Challenges for Payors with Provider Data Inaccuracies

by David Van Houtte, Chief Growth Officer at Santech 07/16/2025 Leave a Comment

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

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

Blood Pressure Monitoring in Pregnancy Is a Window into Long-Term Health

by Anish Sebastian, CEO and Co-founder, Babyscripts 07/15/2025 Leave a Comment

Bullshit Metrics: Is Patient Engagement Real?

New research continues to affirm what maternal health advocates have long known: pregnancy is a powerful window into long-term health. One of the most promising areas of study is blood pressure monitoring, which is proving to be not just essential for a healthy pregnancy, but a potential predictor of future cardiovascular disease — the leading cause of death in the United States. For many women, pregnancy may be the first meaningful interaction with the healthcare system in

Beyond Patient-Centric: The Rise of Evidence-Based, Content-Centric Care

Beyond Patient-Centric: The Rise of Content-Centric Care in Healthcare

he past decade has seen healthcare undergo a paradigm shift. Walking into a treatment room today, the dynamic with patients is fundamentally different from even a few years ago. No longer satisfied with passively receiving care, patients – in particular, younger generations like Gen Z – increasingly want a seat at the table. They want to be active, informed participants in all aspects of their health care. And the data backs this up. According to McKinsey, only 42% of Gen Z depend on doctors for

Digital Lifelines: Fortifying Healthcare’s Cybersecurity Amid Budget Cuts

Digital Lifelines: Fortifying Healthcare's Cybersecurity Amid Budget Cuts

IT leaders in healthcare are no strangers to pressure. They are expected to safeguard sensitive patient data, maintain compliance, and ensure teams have the technology needed to support clinical operations amid shrinking budgets and rising cyber risks. Cybercriminals know this, and they’re exploiting it.  The U.S. remains the top targeted region for ransomware attacks against healthcare organizations. The wealth of sensitive data and life-or-death stakes make these organizations more likely

AI-Driven Diagnostics: The Future of Precision in Medical Imaging

As a veteran of multiple healthcare startups, it’s hard not to become immune to claims of technological developments which will “revolutionize patient care”. To be fair, revolutionary changes do exist. Telehealth for example, enabled by the combination of AI and cloud technology, has revolutionized the access patients have to robust diagnostic services. Yet, telehealth with its data fragmentation and current clinical diagnostic limitations, still has serious challenges

Providers & Payers: Prepare Now for CMS Prior Authorization Final Rule

Providers & Payers: Prepare Now for CMS Prior Authorization Final Rule

The new administration shed light on policy issues at the top of providers’ lists for 2025. While topics like physician burnout and Medicare payment reform were included, unsurprisingly, prior authorization remains at the forefront, as proven by entities like the American Medical Association, who represent more than 270K providers. Improvements in the prior authorization and interoperability space have been historically stalled due to lack of standard data and public reports, as technology

Health Equity 2.0 – Bridging Health Equity Gaps with AI Agents

Health Equity 2.0 - Bridging Health Equity Gaps with AI Agents

Despite decades of panels, pledges, and policy proposals, healthcare inequity remains a systemic issue in day-to-day experience of the American healthcare consumer. The data is overwhelming - patients in lower-income ZIP codes have worse healthcare outcomes, people of lower socio-economic tiers are more likely to suffer from preventable conditions. Access to timely, quality care is still a privilege. Equity in healthcare is different from the equity discussion that’s playing out right now in
