These requirements raise the question of when the general-purpose solutions offered by major tech companies are appropriate, where health care organizations can get large enough data sets to develop models, and how vanilla LLMs—or foundational LLMS—...

Three Key Takeaways From ViVE2024
Cybersecurity and the Change Healthcare outage dominated the hallway conversations at ViVE2024. AI was everywhere at ViVE2024, but companies were much more realistic with their productivity claims this year. In the exhibit hall, larger booths were more noticeable.
The three key takeaways from the ViVE2024 event for me were:
Cybersecurity risk and the Change Healthcare outage was top-of-mind for attendees
Vendors are being more realistic in their deployment of AI
Larger booths are starting to appear in the ViVE exhibit hall

Radiology ’ s Next Phase: Real-Time Collaboration Leading the Way
The following is a guest article by Vivian Liu, COO at Braid Health

What Does Virtual First Mean In Healthcare?

Healthcare Review of the Brother MFC-L6915DW All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier
When I first started doing IT in healthcare, I remember the thought and excitement around the paperless office. I remember seeing all those paper charts stored in the HIM office and thinking how nice it will be when everything is paperless. No more managing those charts and everything quickly accessible with a few keystrokes. While those paper chart rooms have disappeared, the paperless office hasn’t really come to fruition the way that many of us thought it may.
The reality in healthcare is that there’s still a lot of paper floating around the office. It turns out that paper is a great form factor that...
