We’re excited to share that we’re hosting our first Twitter chat - #HITtalk - on Tuesday, October 19, at 11 AM EDT (8 AM PT) from the HTLH conference in Boston. We’d love you to join the chat and engage with healthcare stakeholders on the latest trends and challenges in digital transformation and healthcare innovation.

In the past year, payers have been confronted with laws that change the way their data is accessed by members (or patients) and other stakeholders.

The internet contains a lot of data, but not all of it is reliable for decision-making. In healthcare—where lives are at risk—data needs to be factual and 100% actionable.

In the history of innovation breakthroughs, some myths remain strong. In the hardware world, game-changing devices get built in the garage. For life sciences, the eurekas come in basement labs. In these origin stories, the heroes are usually a pair of scrappy, go-it-alone engineers or scientists. They build everything from scratch and on their own, giving rise to the Apples, HPs, Medtronics, and Roches of today.

2021 has been a year of tremendous change in the healthcare industry. Providers are working to enable digital transformation, and networks face challenges like complex care delivery, significant delays, and backlogs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tesla was not an overnight success. Founded in 2003, the company struggled mightily during its early years. In 2019, Elon Musk reported that Tesla would be out of money in 10 months.

Referral management can be a powerful tool for health providers to track their patient referrals throughout the care continuum. Providers can maximize the potential of their referral management tools by referring to in-network providers, but the potential of these tools remains largely untapped.
