Healthcare IT Today

For the 194th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are back with another episode of everyone’s favorite game – buy or sell! In case you’ve forgotten or this is your first buy or sell episode, we set out a list of hot topics and trends in healthcare to discuss whether we believe the topic or trend is true/is going to happen (aka, we ‘buy’ it), or if we think it is not true/will not happen (aka, we ‘sell’ it). For this episode, we are doing a special conference edition, focusing on the trends we’ve heard from all of the different conferences we’ve both attended recently!

Here’s a preview of the topics and trends we discuss in this episode:

Health IT budgets are shrinking.

Vendor consolidation is still a high priority for CIOs.

Value-based care is the key to rural health’s success and survival.

Healthcare AI will not replace people.

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the Healthcare IT Today podcast.
