Everyone is Waiting for Something at ViVE2023
The top story ViVE2023 wasn’t a major product launch, new legislation, or a mega-merger. Instead, the entire industry seems to be waiting for better times to arrive. Vendors are waiting for the economy to turn around. Providers are waiting for labor costs to stabilize. Investors and funders are waiting for companies to show more market traction. Only must-do projects and must-have solutions continue to have momentum. The Big Question Because the Healthcare IT Today team speaks to so many attendees and exhibitors at conferences, we often get asked what we think the biggest or most interesting story is.

And unlike genuine insurance funds, the FDIC ' s insurance " fund " is an accounting fiction, the truth being that the " premiums " it collects from banks go into the federal government ' s general coffers.

Imagene Profiles Cancer Biomarkers in Real Time
Cancer therapies have proliferated over the past few decades, improving outcomes for many patients. But this variety requires accurate diagnostics and appropriate decision making to choose the optimal course of therapy. The current gold standard of identifying which cancer mutation is present is new generation sequencing (NGS), which provides a comprehensive genetic report, but can take up to six weeks to complete, requires a significant tumor sample size, and can only be done in an advanced laboratory at a high cost. Imagene, a company headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, has developed AI-based image analysis software...

Finding a Partner in Digital Acceleration at ViVE 2023
As we prepare for the ViVE 2023 conferences next week, one of the things I am most looking forward to is seeing companies that can help healthcare organizations accelerate their digital efforts.  There are going to be a lot of organizations talking about changes and others that are actually on the frontlines of implementing these changes.
