How AI Can Prepare Nurses for High-Stakes, Emotionally Charged Conversations

by Doug Stephen, President, CSG Immersive 08/25/2025 Leave a Comment

How AI Can Prepare Nurses for High-Stakes, Emotionally Charged Conversations

Nurses aren’t just on the front lines of healthcare. They’re also at the front lines of emotional trauma.  Whether it's telling a patient their cancer is terminal, helping grieving parents understand a devastating diagnosis, or de-escalating a distraught family member, the emotional labor required of nurses is immense. These moments demand more than clinical expertise—they require deep empathy, listening, and communication skill. But most nurses enter the workforce underprepared for

How CIOs Can Close The Interoperability Divide in Hospitals

by Lee Miller, Deputy Chief Architect, Juno Health 08/22/2025 Leave a Comment

How CIOs Can Solve Interoperability Challenges to Build an Integrated Healthcare System

Patients may be seen by various doctors and clinicians during treatment, such as a primary care physician who diagnoses diabetes and monitors overall health, an endocrinologist who adjusts medications and monitors blood sugar, and a dietitian who assists with nutrition. If these professionals can’t work together and share information, it creates a disconnect that impacts the quality of care delivery.  Interoperability is the missing piece to ensuring teams understand patients and their

5 Levels of Identity Intelligence in Healthcare

by Nick Orser, Sr. Director, Solution Consulting at Verato 08/22/2025 Leave a Comment

The 5 Levels of Identity Intelligence in Healthcare

Identity in healthcare begins with knowing who’s who, but there are different degrees of “knowing.” Think of everyone you know: family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances. Some you know extremely well and some you know only superficially. And that’s fine. You need to know a lot about your partner to have a happy marriage; you don’t need to know as much about your dentist to get your teeth cleaned.   Similarly, there are five levels at which healthcare organizations can know

Remote Monitoring After Cardiac Surgery Reveals Undetected AFib Events, Study Finds

by Jakob Wollborn, M.D., M.P.H., Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist and Intensivist at Brigham and Women 's Hospital 08/21/2025 Leave a Comment

Remote Monitoring After Cardiac Surgery Reveals Undetected AFib Events, Study Finds

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is one of the most common complications following cardiac surgery. It affects up to 40% of patients, depending on the procedure. During the early recovery period, patients are continuously monitored in the ICU using telemetry and intermittent ECGs to detect irregular heart rhythms. But once patients are discharged, that monitoring stops, and clinicians have little visibility into patients’ recovery.  That gap can carry clinical consequences. AFib increases

From Burnout to Balance, Tech is Transforming Work: Lessons from the Nursing Shortage

by Curtis Anderson, CEO and founder of Nursa 08/21/2025 Leave a Comment

From Burnout to Balance, Tech is Transforming Work: Lessons from the Nursing Shortage

Work for the modern person is not like an episode of “Severance,” the dystopian show where employees surgically separate their work lives and personal lives to achieve a perceived work-life balance. The reality for most of us correlates better to a plate-spinning circus act. The key lies in managing multiple aspects of life simultaneously, focusing on what needs attention most urgently. No two plates are ever spinning at the same speed at the same time, but we work to keep them in motion.

4 Steps to Safely Implement AI in Healthcare and Pharmacy Operations

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already transforming healthcare, including pharmacy operations, clinical workflows, and business processes.  As adoption accelerates, it's essential to ensure that AI is implemented responsibly—especially given the sensitive nature of patient data and the complexities of care delivery. Success in this space requires a balance of high tech and high touch: robust human oversight and ethical governance. Here are four key steps to help healthcare and pharmacy

Virtual Patients: How AI Simulation Is Revolutionizing Clinical Trials and Drug Development

by Thomas Kluz, Managing Director at Niterra Ventures 08/19/2025 Leave a Comment

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

The most consequential shift in modern medicine isn’t happening inside hospitals or biotech labs. It’s happening inside medical simulation labs / training centers. Drug development has long been marked by high costs, inefficiency, and human trial-and-error. Indeed, the cost of developing a single therapeutic exceeds $2.6 billion according to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development. Much of this expense can be attributed to the clinical trial process. Clinical trials are a

Beyond Step Counts: How AI-Powered Gait Analysis is Unlocking a New Vital Sign in Healthcare

by Yuval Naveh, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of OneStep 08/19/2025 Leave a Comment

Gait—how we walk—provides powerful, often overlooked insights into our physical, cognitive, mental, and social health. It’s more than just movement; it serves as a window into our overall well-being, with impairments in gait and mobility linked to falls, cognitive decline, chronic conditions, and even mortality. While healthcare professionals have long studied these connections, there’s something universally intuitive about how we assess a person’s health just by watching them walk. Though

Healthcare’s Shift to Proactive Cybersecurity Measures

by Zach Evans, Chief Technology Officer at Xsolis 08/18/2025 Leave a Comment

Healthcare’s Shift to Proactive Cybersecurity Measures

Health insurance payers, healthcare providers, and their associated contractors who handle patient data have all been forced to reckon with heightened cybersecurity concerns. For the entire industry, a proactive approach — rather than a reactive approach — is more important than ever. The data around expensive security breaches and other cyberattacks do not tell the complete story of what’s happening in healthcare. Payers and providers are being inundated with alerts — almost all of which

How Self-Triage and Care Navigation Can Fix Healthcare’s Hidden Problem

How Self-Triage and Care Navigation Can Fix Healthcare’s Hidden Problem

U.S. health systems are navigating a storm of staff shortages, budget constraints, and rising patient demand. But there’s another, less visible factor compounding these pressures: Patients are often booking care that doesn’t match what they clinically need. This misalignment not only gums up access but also diverts critical resources from those who need them most. While efforts to expand capacity typically focus on increasing provider supply, support staff headcount, or physical
