Cycle Time is the New Currency of Drug Development

For years, the life sciences industry has been trying to address the same R&D challenges: rising costs, patient recruitment and retention, and difficulty maximizing ROI. Drug development is expensive, and failure rates remain high. Studies estimate the total cost to develop a new drug is between $300 million and nearly $4.5 billion.

Josh Canavan, Head of Pharmacy at RazorMetrics

Millions of Americans are currently facing a difficult choice: either pay for expensive biologic medications or ration doses to afford basic needs. Cost-related nonadherence (CRN) is where patients either skip or delay their medication due to cost concerns, a challenge that is widespread throughout the U.S. The financial burden is even greater for those managing multiple chronic conditions, where prescription costs can quickly add up to unmanageable amounts. Despite the financial strain,

The chorus of complaints might have reached its crescendo recently, but insurance companies

Beyond FHIR: Why True Healthcare Interoperability Needs AI

It’s time to flip the script on interoperability—specifically, how to achieve it. For years, there’s been a push for a FHIR-only standard for interoperability. It’s based on the idea that if organizations are going to seamlessly send, receive, find, and integrate information, they need a common standard for communication.  This movement marked an important step forward for the healthcare industry, and on the surface, it seems like a viable path forward. The problem: Some

Telehealth: An Essential Bridge to Healthcare Equity for Rural Communities

Rural America faces a unique set of healthcare challenges. While 20% of Americans live in rural communities, only 10% of physicians practice in those areas, leading to shortages that drastically limit access to care. With the United States expecting to face a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians over the next decade and over half of the rural physician workforce already over the age of 55, these gaps are at risk of worsening over the coming years without the proper solutions to address

Beyond Patient Portals: Defining the Clinician Digital Front Door

by Zach Philips, Chief Growth Officer of Axuall 05/09/2025 Leave a Comment

Your digital front door isn’t just for patients

First impressions are everything. Almost everyone working in healthcare understands that. And it’s not just clinicians. The architect who designed the front lobby of a hospital or the website developer who ensures the ease of use of a health system’s digital presence understands how important that first impression is. Patients come first in healthcare, and that’s true when focusing on patient access or simply creating a welcoming environment. It is just as important to focus on the impact that
