CMS Has Updated the FHIR Baseline. Is Your Health System Ready to Govern the Change?
When a prior-authorization request is submitted, it passes through a clinician, a utilization-management team, an EHR vendor, a clearinghouse, and several payer systems before a patient receives a response. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) estimates, this work consumes approximately 700 hours and $34,000 per provider annually. Yet, ahead of the […]
Why FHIR Integration Alone Cannot Create an AI-Native EHR Architecture
At the 2025 CHIME Fall Forum, Sarang Deshpande, Vice President and Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Franciscan Health, put a familiar frustration into ten words: “Everything and everyone is ready for AI except your own data.” Any data leader at a multi-site health system knows what sits behind that line. An AI pilot performs […]
Prior Authorization Is Breaking Healthcare Workflows. Can Agentic AI Fix It?
A CFO at a mid-sized health system pulls up the month-end AR aging report and finds the same story she found last month, only worse. Clinical denials are up again, not because coding got sloppier, but because a prior authorization that should have cleared in five days sat in a payer portal queue for eleven, […]
AI for Remote Patient Monitoring: From Basic Tracking to Predictive, End-to-End Care
NASA was the first organization to use Remote Patient Monitoring to track astronaut Alan Shepard’s vitals with an EKG, thermometer, and respiratory sensor while on his historic flight to space in 1961. More than six decades later, wearables, smart sensors and mobile devices are being used to maintain and manage conditions like heart disease, diabetes, […]
Drive End-to-End Healthcare Automation Solutions with Digital Front Doors
Digital front doors are widely used today to support functions such as online appointment scheduling and reminders, patient intake, access to health records, patient billing, and payments. Yet adoption across the board has remained uneven and fragmented. The reason is that each function, while appearing digitized on the front end, is still controlled manually at […]
Turn Blind Spots into Scalable Protection with IT Consulting for Healthcare
Most mid-market providers already check the HIPAA and HITECH boxes, such as role-based access, audit logging, and built-in EHR safeguards in platforms like Epic or Athenahealth. But history shows those basics don’t always hold up. At Montefiore Medical Center, an insider stole and sold the records of over 12,000 patients, leading to a $4.75 million […]
Top Use Cases for RPA in Healthcare: Automating Operations and Reducing Errors
RPA Solutions and the Quiet Shift in Healthcare Operations RPA isn’t some futuristic promise; it’s already doing the work most people don’t see, but everyone depends on it. It’s not the exciting part of healthcare. It’s not performing surgeries or diagnosing conditions. It’s handling the repetitive stuff in the background: updating records, checking forms, sending […]
Healthcare IT Services: What It Means to Modern Healthcare Delivery
The healthcare ecosystem has evolved beyond the initial digitization phase that defined the early 2000s. Today, we stand at an inflection point. Healthcare IT services are no longer merely digital replacements for analog processes. They are strategic catalysts redefining the very nature of care delivery, patient engagement, and organizational performance. Our industry’s relationship with technology […]
Generative AI in Healthcare: How Health Tech Solutions Enhance Clinical Summarization and Diagnostic Accuracy
Dr. Mark Davis, a senior cardiologist, often found himself overwhelmed by fragmented patient data scattered across electronic health records (EHRs). Manually sifting through extensive reports was not only time-consuming but also increased the risk of overlooking critical insights. This administrative burden detracted from his primary focus: patient care. The integration of AI-powered health tech solutions […]
HIMSS 2025: How Smart Hospitals Are Redefining Patient-Centered Care
There was a time when healthcare felt deeply personal. A doctor would spend time understanding not just the symptoms but the person behind them: learning about their daily habits, their environment, their concerns. Treatment wasn’t just about responding to an illness; it was about caring for an individual. But as healthcare systems grew more complex, […]
