Details
This roundup covers a wide range of topics in the healthcare IT industry. Key themes include discussions by NCQA on the role of standardization using FHIR for quality measurement and value-based care, emphasizing that data quality is crucial for progress. At RSNA, strategies were shared to make unstructured data—such as medical images and clinical notes—consumable for analysis. Technically, the "Darena Solutions' Predictive AI FHIR Integration Contest" was highlighted, supporting startups connecting applications to healthcare systems using SMART on FHIR. Regarding AI, while Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown early wins in improving administrative efficiency, there are noted challenges for long-term impact. Cybersecurity measures require comprehensive and regularly assessed strategies, including adopting "zero trust" and outsourcing to specialists. Other advancements include the use of hyperautomation for workflow automation and new technologies like QR codes for patient identification and medication tracking. The roundup also reports on industry funding (e.g., Soda Health's $50M Series B) and M&A activity.
