CMS MANDATES IN HEALTHCARE IT: CMS mandates and other policy initiatives have far-reaching impacts within the healthcare technology space. Merely adhering to regulations falls short; healthcare stakeholders must aspire to achieve more.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN HEALTHCARE IT: AI has the potential to be transformative in healthcare but maybe in a more mundane application than some would imagine.

ENHANCING DATA QUALITY IN HEALTHCARE: Elevating data quality standards within healthcare benefits healthcare providers and payers but also empowers patients and enhances overall healthcare outcomes. But how do we make the strides needed?

PATIENT CONSENT MANAGEMENT IN DIGITAL HEALTH: Among the critical issues discussed was the management of patient consent in the digital health realm—a challenge demanding immediate attention within healthcare technology.
