I love being around people that just ooze passion for the work they do. You know the type of person I'm talking about. The people who have dug so deeply into a subject that they can share every nook and cranny and when they do you know they understand that topic 1000 times better than you. Often times, when they describe all the details, I realize that I'd seen or felt what they were talking about, but I hadn't studied it enough to realize that was why it mattered. This is exactly how I felt when I sat down in this interview with Mike Cuesta, Partner at Atomic Health, to talk about design and branding.

For those involved in the 340B program, you know that there are some unique challenges associated with adding new locations. In many cases, healthcare organizations have to wait years to start fully seeing the benefits of 340B for new locations. The good news is that a new HRSA FAQ clarifies 340B Eligibility for new locations and it will make a big impact for healthcare organizations in this regard.
To learn more about these changes, we sat down with Lisa Scholz, PharmD, FACHE, Head of Industry Relations at Sentry Data Systems, to understand the clarifications HRSA provided and what healthcare organizations should know about the changes.

He explains why integration, not acquisition, has become the real bottleneck in healthcare IT, how delayed data undermines frontline decision-making, and where process-level insights can improve care in real time.Josh also discusses why IHI often advises organizations to pause new technology adoption, how CIOs can gain space to focus on integration, and where AI has the most practical potential to improve quality and safety without adding more burden.🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.Learn more about the Institute for Healthcare Improvement at https://www.ihi.org/Find more great health IT content at https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
Imaging demand keeps rising, but building new capacity is slow, expensive, and disruptive. What if mobile imaging could feel less like a workaround and more like an extension of the hospital?In this interview from RSNA25, Henry Howe, CEO of Akumin, and Greg Sitkiewicz, Chief Commercial Officer, explain why the company introduced a mobile drop trailer that lowers directly to ground level. They discuss how small design decisions change patient access, staff workflow, setup time, and imaging throughput, especially for health systems dealing with backlogs or rural coverage gaps.You’ll hear how the drop trailer removes stairs and lifts, deploys in minutes, integrates with hospital IT systems, and supports higher patient volumes. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.Learn more about Akumin at https://akumin.com/Find more great health IT content at https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
[SPONSORED] Health IT roadmaps used to span years. Now they are collapsing into months. The question many leaders are asking is whether vendors can actually keep up.In this interview, David Cohen, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Greenway Health, explains why the pace of change in healthcare has outgrown traditional multi-year planning cycles. He shares how Greenway is shifting to shorter delivery timelines to stay aligned with what ambulatory practices need right now, using provider–payer data exchange as a clear example of where faster execution matters.The conversation also touches on why manual workflows are becoming harder to justify, how expectations around delivery speed have changed, and what healthcare IT leaders should listen for when vendors talk about their roadmaps.How have shorter timelines changed what you expect from your technology partners?Where do you feel the most pressure to move faster?🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.Learn more about Greenway Health at https://www.greenwayhealth.com/Find more great health IT content at https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
AI is everywhere in healthcare. The challenge now facing providers is determining where it actually helps without getting in the way.In this conversation, Demetri Giannikopoulos, Chief Innovation Officer at Rad AI, unpacks why radiology has become one of the most practical proving grounds for clinical AI and how specialization changes clinician confidence in the technology.He shares his view on why radiology workflows are uniquely suited for AI support, how staffing shortages are shaping adoption, and why trust comes from AI that understands clinical context rather than adding more noise.

Geospatial AI sounds like science fiction until you see it applied to real problems. Then it gets very practical, very fast.In this conversation, Dr. Este Geraghty, Chief Medical Officer at Esri, talks through how satellite imagery and location intelligence are being used to answer questions that once took weeks or months to resolve.She covers how AI-powered image analysis can identify accessibility curb ramps across an entire city, assess wildfire damage to individual homes in minutes, and help health systems and public agencies respond faster during emergencies. Dr. Geraghty also breaks down the difference between geoAI, AI assistants, and agentic AI, and why lowering the barrier to insight matters just as much as the analytics themselves.🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.Learn more about Esri at https://www.esri.com/healthFind more great health IT content at https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
Every IT leader knows the pain of workflows that break the moment they cross a departmental line. Sri Velamoor isn’t tiptoeing around it. He argues the silos themselves are the problem.Sri Velamoor, President and CEO of NextGen Healthcare, lays out a direct challenge to how physician practices structure their systems and teams. He explains why clinical, RCM, and patient-experience workflows no longer function as separate jobs and why AI makes the divide even harder to sustain. Velamoor also opens up about quarterly releases, No UI as the New UI, and how 90 percent of NextGen engineers are already using AI-assisted coding.🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.Learn more about NextGen at https://www.nextgen.com/Find more great health IT content at https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange, discusses in this video interview some recent hot developments in health data exchange, and how he expects it to expand in the future.HHS's TEFCA project has been in force for some time, while the CMS-Aligned Network is new and has created confusion in the industry about the relatinship between them (Note: Steven Posnack has a great article that works to clear this up). eHealth Exchange is a designated QHIN under TEFCA and plans to implement the criteria necessary to become a CMS-Aligned Network as well. Nakashima recommends that anyone who has started to work with TEFCA continue to do so.He calls TEFCA "prescriptive" and thinks that more varied options will become available.Learn more about eHealth Exchange: https://ehealthexchange.org/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Sepsis has been on hospital priority lists for years, yet it still slips past clinicians every day. The challenge is not awareness. It is variability, speed, and too many signals competing for attention.In this conversation, Robin Carver, Senior Vice President of Commercialization at Prenosis, explains why sepsis is so hard to diagnose early and how a more precise, biologically grounded approach is changing the conversation. She shares why broad alerts often fail, how individual immune response plays a critical role, and what narrowly focused, FDA-authorized AI can realistically add to clinical decision making.How do you reduce noise without missing risk? And what does “augmented intelligence” actually look like at the bedside? Robin walks through real data, real constraints, and what she sees as the next stage of AI in acute care.💬 How are you approaching sepsis detection in your organization today?

Cloud imaging promised speed and simplicity. Many health systems got longer rollouts, higher costs, and workflows that still feel tied to the data center. The issue isn’t the cloud. It’s how imaging platforms were designed to use it.In this conversation, Brad Levin, General Manager, North America at Visage Imaging, explains why streaming-first architecture changes the equation. The discussion covers why hosted PACS struggle to scale, how six-to-nine-month go-lives can/should be the norm, and why enterprise imaging works better as a single platform rather than stitched-together modules.Share your perspective on cloud imaging and the Netflix-approach in the comments.🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.Learn more about Visage Imaging at https://www.visageimaging.com/Find more great health IT content at https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
Healthcare still runs on fax. The real question is what happens after those documents arrive.In this conversation, Roy Vincent, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at medQ, and Marianne Soucy, Solutions Engineer at Consensus Cloud Solutions, unpack why unstructured data remains so deeply embedded in healthcare and how it slows radiology workflows, intake processes, and patient care. They explore what changes when unstructured data (like faxes) becomes visible, readable, and routable inside clinical systems, and why speed has become a patient safety issue, not just an efficiency metric.🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.Learn more about medQ at https://www.medq.com/Learn more about Consensus Cloud Solutions at https://www.consensus.com/Find more great health IT content at https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
