Welcome to the weekly edition of Healthcare IT Today Bonus Features. This article will be a weekly roundup of interesting stories, product announcements, new hires, partnerships, research studies, awards, sales, and more. Because there’s so much happening out there in healthcare IT we aren’t able to cover in our full articles, we still want to make sure you’re informed of all the latest news, announcements, and stories happening to help you better do your job.
This edition is a special dispatch from ViVE 2023. There have been a lot of new research reports, products, and partnerships announced in Nashville. We wanted to try and cover as many announcements for the Healthcare IT Today community as we could.
Our first batch of news from ViVE 2023 is live, with announcements from Amazon, NTT DATA, Philips, and other leading vendors. You can also listen to our ViVE 2023 Preview in Episode 110 of the Healthcare IT Podcast to get our take on the most important trends and topics on the agenda.
News
Virtual care provider Cecilia Health surveyed more than 100 of its clinicians about their priorities for chronic disease management. Nearly one in four (24%) said managing health goals such as blood glucose, blood pressure, and weight were their patients’ top priorities, compared to just 12% two years ago. This was due to patients and their providers prioritizing the management of anxiety, depression, and other aspects of mental health during the pandemic, the company said.
Censinet and KLAS Research recognized more than 20 companies that are certified as Cybersecurity Transparent Leaders.
