Three Ways Enterprise Visibility and Automation Benefit Staff and the Patient Experience
The following is a guest article by Scott Hondros, Vice President of Professional Services at CenTrak.
It’s often said that necessity is the mother of invention. This theory has been tested within the healthcare industry over the last few years as the COVID-19 pandemic aligned with, and expedited, the retirement of many employees in the Baby Boomer generation. Nearly 29 million Baby Boomers retired in 2020, three and a half million more than in 2019.

Dramatically Improving Population Health Through Remote Patient Monitoring Data
The following is a guest article by Anish Sebastian, CEO and Co-Founder of Babyscripts.
As winter storms sweep the country and complicate transportation, healthcare access becomes a front-and-center issue.

For more in‐depth coverage, be sure to check out our newSchool Choice Timeline.When we talk about school choice, we generally mean a program where public funding follows students to nonpublic schools.

Scott Lincicome,Gabriella Beaumont-Smith, and Alfredo Carrillo ObregonReports last Friday broke that the Department of Justice (DOJ) hasopened an investigation into potential criminal conduct at the Michigan factory at the center of the “nationwide infant formula shortage” that lasted for most of 2022.
