Today on HITshow:
When coverage gets more expensive and policy gets more complicated, the pressure lands squarely on your hospitals and clinics. We’re tracking what looming changes in coverage costs could mean for payer mix and bad debt, the Medicaid pressure cooker for safety-net and rural hospitals, a payer-EHR partnership making the front door less painful, AI tools aimed directly at clinicians, and a fresh twist on remote monitoring for high-risk infants. We’ll wrap with a Bright Spot on blending virtual front doors, in-home care, and hospital-at-home into a single branded experience.
HOST: RHONDA BROOKS
📍 Medicaid Under Pressure — Teresa Vaughn & Peter Betterworth
Safety-net and rural hospitals are walking a tightrope as Medicaid policies shift. Leaders need to know exactly how dependent they are on these dollars and where the real pressure points are.
📍 Front Door Integration — Peter Betterworth
A payer-EHR partnership is putting coverage details right inside the check-in workflow. Simple idea, but the operational ripple effect matters for cash flow and patient experience.
📍 AI for Clinicians — Ida Klein
AI-powered clinical intelligence platforms are already in your clinicians’ digital backpacks. The question is whether your organization is keeping up or staying blind to what they’re using.
📍 Infant Remote Monitoring — Anika Shah
Home infant monitors are now feeding data into hospital remote patient monitoring for high-risk babies. The model promises safer early discharges—if the implementation is done right.
Bright Spot:
Ovatient is blending virtual care, in-home services, and hospital-at-home into a single branded experience that lives inside the health system. CEO Michael Dalton explains how this extends your reach without building new buildings. Jalen Cross reports.
