How Payers Can Modernize Operations With AI and Automation — Without Ripping Everything Out 20.07.2026 18dk

In a recent video interview, Brian Yavorsky, CTO at Imagenet, discusses how the company helps payers use AI and other data technologies to achieve efficiencies. Emphasizing the difficulties in getting skilled staff, Yavorsky says that automation can reduce labor not by removing people, but by automating areas that are difficult to staff. Plus, by automating the mundane tasks you allow staff to work on higher value tasks that they enjoy more.Many payers are burdened with legacy systems and workflows, especially after acquiring other companies. Although the systems work individually, the fragmentation in systems and data introduces inefficiencies and requires more manual work, which adds to costs and slows payer responses. Organizations that don't address this fragmentation suffer from inefficient processes and often can't benefit from new AI technologies.Learn more about Imagenet: https://www.imagenetglobal.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Your Healthcare Hosting Provider Says They're Compliant, Can They Prove It? 13.07.2026 30dk

In a recent Healthcare IT Today interview, Kelly Goolsby, Director of Solution Architecture at Nexcess, says that many clients come to them after trying another managed hosting provider who made impressive claims but failed to follow through on compliance, security, and other promises.Claiming to be a "show me" kind of guy, Goolsby recommends that clients not rely on promises made by potential vendors, but ask for proof and transparency. Check the logs to make sure that the expected antivirus software and other security measures are present. Some hosting providers are now being punished for non-compliance with HIPAA and other regulations. Migration to a new hosting service can take six months, so clients should try to choose a reliable vendor at the start.Learn more about Nexcess: https://www.nexcess.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Integration Into the Workflow Is Key to Ambient Scribe Success 10.07.2026 12dk

The first year that Central Oklahoma Family Medical Center deployed the Sunoh.ai ambient transcription software, it was getting very little use and therefore wasn't achieving their goals for installing it. To address this lack of adoption, Liz Massey, Executive Vice President of Clinical Operations, was put in charge of integrating it into their practice. In a recent interview with Massey, she explains what her team did and how Sunoh.ai has transformed the organization. One doctor even said it "gave her back her life."Central Oklahoma Family Medical Center has 22 locations serving 30,000 patients, mostly offering primary care but also having multiple specialties. The burden of writing clinical notes was leading to burn-out. One key step taken by the center, when choosing Sunoh.ai, was to define their goals: to capture the quality measures needed for regulatory and financial purposes, to increase the percentage of records closed within 24 hours of a visit, to reduce the time spent on documentation after-hours, and to increase the number of patient visits.Learn more about Central Oklahoma Family Medical Center: https://www.cofmc.com/Learn more about eCW: https://www.eclinicalworks.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Why Health Payers Need a Unified Content Strategy 09.07.2026 30dk

Ashish Desai, President of Benefits Lifecycle Solutions at Simplify Healthcare, believes that a health care provider should not have to call a payer to plan treatment or submit a bill; he should be self-served through a web search or chat. As we know, the health care field is far away from such simplicity.In this video, Desai and Jami Hernandez, Senior Vice President of Product Engineering & Development at Simplify Healthcare, discuss how insurers can bring all their systems together around consistent content. Hernandez says this is critical so that an appeals department acts on the same information given to the member when that member signed up for the plan. But it's getting harder and harder as the number of channels for sharing information (web, chat, call center) proliferates. The member (as well as their providers and care managers) must get the same information through every channel they choose.Learn more about Simplify Healthcare: https://simplifyhealthcare.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

How Continuous Risk Monitoring Is Transforming Healthcare Revenue Integrity Amid Rising Audits 03.07.2026 24dk

One of the biggest challenges facing healthcare organizations today has to do with revenue integrity and healthcare compliance. Every organization is focusing on improving its revenue while still ensuring compliance. Plus, this is becoming even more challenging as the government is leveraging AI to increase the number of audits and holding payments from many providers. This crackdown means provider organizations operating in Medicare or Medicaid programs will feel the impact across their entire compliance and revenue cycle footprint.What's interesting about this is that MDaudit was built for exactly this situation. With that in mind, I had a chance to chat with Ritesh Ramesh, CEO at MDaudit, to learn more about what he's seeing in the market and some of the ways MDaudit uses its AI-powered continuous risk monitoring platform to help hospitals and health systems.Learn more about MDaudit: https://mdaudit.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Healthcare AI Success Starts with a Bias Toward Action 29.06.2026 19dk

The potential applications of AI are endless; there are so many solutions in the marketplace that health care organizations can get "paralyzed," according to Kim Lynch, Founder and CEO at Metis Health Technologies. She advises organizations not to debate endless what to do, but to "try something" with "a bias toward action." Jeffrey Nelson, Enterprise Chief Information Officer at Mosaic Health, similarly says to "try and fail," but "move the ball forward."Of course, nobody advises just throwing money at fancy technologies. In our recent interview at the Navina Ascend user conference, Lynch and Nelson along with Ronen Gordon, MBBS BSc, Vice President of Medical Product at Navina, lay out the real benefits of AI along with lessons learned implementing AI in their organizations.Learn more about Mosaic Health: https://mosaichealth.com/Learn more about Metis Health Technologies: https://www.metishealthtechnologies.com/Learn more about Navina: https://www.navina.ai/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Making AI and Value-Based Care Work in Rural Health Facilities 26.06.2026 35dk

Everyone knows that rural health care systems are stressed: costly populations, low reimbursements, staffing shortages, transportation problems—and the 900 billion to one trillion dollar cuts upcoming in Medicaid will severely add to those stresses. But rural providers also have advantages when it comes to the chances for transformation. In a recent video interview, we explore the opportunities in rural health, particularly the use of technology for value-based care with Pranam Ben, Founder & CEO at The Garage and Brittany Sachdeva, COO at Cibolo Health.Learn more about The Garage: https://www.thegaragein.com/Learn more about Cibolo Health: https://cibolohealth.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Sunoh.ai's Ambient AI Scribe Helps Clinicians Spend Less Time Charting at Night 24.06.2026 11dk

Family Health Centers in Louisville, Kentucky adopted the ambient note-taking tool from Sunoh.ai to cut down on doctors' filling out notes during family times in the evenings and even way into the night. In this information-rich interview, Chief Clinical Informatics Officer Cynthia Cox discusses how Family Health Centers adopted Sunoh.ai and the main ways it's helped them on this key goal and others.The initiative came about after a few doctors heard of ambient scribes and wanted to try it. The health center started by offering the tool to these doctors, but then realized it had a great opportunity to reach out and introduce it to other doctors experiencing burn-out. A demo video of the tool in action was enough to persuade many to use it. Family Health Center EHR trainers came into the practice to work side-by-side with doctors, training them on Sunoh.ai. And the doctors are happy with the change with many of them using the scribe for more than 90% of their notes.Learn more about Family Health Centers: https://www.fhclouisville.org/Learn more about eCW: https://www.eclinicalworks.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
