    The Healthcare Infrastructure Working Behind the Scenes

    One of the most interesting organizations in healthcare is Civitas Networks for Health.  This non-profit organization brings together some of the key organizations that provide the national infrastructure for health and health data.  One of their best venues to convene their community is at the upcoming Civitas 2026 Annual conference. I recently sat down with Jolie Ritzo, CEO at Civitas Networks for Health, Anne Santifer, Executive Director at Arkansas State Health Alliance for Records Exchange, and Dan Cranshaw, Executive Director at KC Health Collaborative, to learn more about what's happening in the Civitas community and get a preview of their annual conference.  One thing they shared was how often healthcare infrastructure serves an important purpose but goes unrecognized. This is by design.  For example, an HIE (Health Information Exchange) may make a patient's information from multiple organizations available to a clinician at the point of care.  The clinician and patient often have no idea how the information from external organizations was made available to them, but having that data often improves care. Good infrastructure like an HIE quietly does this work in the background, often with little recognition.

    A Demo of Truven Health Insights Turning Data Into Actionable Insights

    Renee Wiczorek, Lead Product Manager at Truven by Merative, wants healthcare institutions to ask the deep questions about the trends they're seeing: What caused a recent cost increase? What programs are working? Which of their populations need more attention?  When you ask the right questions and have the right data, healthcare organizations can glean a lot of value. Truven's dashboards, which Wiczorek demos during this video, let managers find "clarity" in their data, and learn "not just what happened, but why." The demo is well worth viewing in full screen.

    Human in the Loop Does Not Mean Safe: The Hidden Risks of Agentic AI in Healthcare

    Treating healthcare AI like a standard software rollout creates a dangerous false sense of security for health system executives. Slapping human oversight onto agentic AI does not eliminate operational risk, it simply shifts massive legal and operational liability onto overburdened clinicians. In this interview from eHealth26, Julia Zarb, founder of Blue x Blue, breaks down why traditional IT playbooks fail when applied to agentic AI. She explains how small, logical micro fissures in AI outputs bypass manual checks and multiply when autonomous agents interact across an organization. Viewers will gain a practical framework for identifying governance blindspots and protecting clinical teams from hidden operational traps. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
