https://healthtechmagazine.net/ en https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/healthcare-ais-next-phase-turning-predictions-clinical-action Despite growing adoption, many healthcare systems continue to struggle with how to leverage artificial intelligence within the flow of patient care. In many cases, healthcare institutions already have access to valuable data and predictive insights. The problem is, those insights often stop short of informing clinical action and driving measurable improvements in patient outcomes. Healthcare institutions have gotten better at using AI for stand-alone use cases — summarizing imaging results, supporting clinical documentation and improving scheduling efficiency, to name a few. Now, it’s time… Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:13:35 -0400 Burnie Legette https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/healthcare-ais-next-phase-turning-predictions-clinical-action https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/improving-patient-experience-clinician-workflows Patients expect the same kind of service from healthcare organizations that they get from airlines and their banks. They increasingly demand digital approaches to scheduling, asking questions and confirming appointments. And patients who must stay in the hospital also want to be able to make decisions about that experience. Now more than ever, healthcare organizations are willing to meet those demands. However, it’s important that any patient-facing technology doesn’t impede clinical and staff workflows. In fact, when implemented thoughtfully, it’s possible to improve patient experiences and… Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:35:31 -0400 Cory Smith https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/improving-patient-experience-clinician-workflows https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/microsoft-dragon-copilot-healthcare-workflows Healthcare organizations today are facing documentation overload, clinical burnout and rising operational costs. Microsoft Dragon Copilot directly addresses all three by shifting clinicians from writing notes to simply reviewing them. This gives providers back their most valuable asset: time. By reducing after-hours charting, improving documentation quality and strengthening compliance, it also restores focus during the patient encounter, and patients appreciate when doctors pay attention to them. This can lead to higher patient satisfaction and retention. Microsoft Dragon Copilot helps… Tue, 09 Jun 2026 13:59:50 -0400 Ray Abji https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/microsoft-dragon-copilot-healthcare-workflows https://healthtechmagazine.net/media/video/connected-care-tampa-general-hospital-rolls-out-ambient-clinical-documentation-nurses Nurses spend a significant amount of time on documentation and working in an electronic health records system, which can contribute to burnout and decreased job satisfaction.  Ambient clinical documentation, powered by artificial intelligence, has been evolving as a solution to support physicians and nurses so that they can spend less time jotting down notes in an EHR and more time facing patients without glancing at a screen. Last year, Tampa General Hospital deployed Microsoft Dragon Copilot for nurses to streamline workflows at the bedside and reduce time spent on charting. So far,… Thu, 11 Jun 2026 14:48:26 -0400 https://healthtechmagazine.net/media/video/connected-care-tampa-general-hospital-rolls-out-ambient-clinical-documentation-nurses https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/ai-pcs-and-hipaa-heres-what-healthcare-organizations-need-know Healthcare organizations are leveraging AI PCs to support increasingly data-intensive clinical and administrative workloads, but the systems are introducing HIPAA, governance and endpoint security concerns that many IT teams are only beginning to understand. Unlike traditional PCs, AI PCs include dedicated hardware designed to run artificial intelligence models locally on the device rather than relying entirely on cloud infrastructure. These capabilities enable clinical documentation, image analysis and other AI-assisted processes while reducing latency and limiting the movement of sensitive… Thu, 04 Jun 2026 15:40:28 -0400 Nathan Eddy https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/ai-pcs-and-hipaa-heres-what-healthcare-organizations-need-know https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/how-health-systems-can-prioritize-healthcare-cybersecurity-risks-sparq Headlines about the latest data breach affecting a healthcare organization have unfortunately become a norm in the industry. Healthcare is also a regular target for ransomware attacks.  It’s clear why cybersecurity is top of mind for healthcare leaders across the country, but security teams often struggle with communicating needs that align with business objectives. They’re focused on solving for technical gaps (such as a lack of identity and access management or immutable backups), but nontechnical leaders can’t always connect how those gaps may put the entire organization at risk.… Wed, 03 Jun 2026 10:30:50 -0400 Nelson Carreira, Walt Powell https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/how-health-systems-can-prioritize-healthcare-cybersecurity-risks-sparq https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/healthcare-supply-chain-volatility-strategic-planning There is an ongoing global memory chip shortage that is having a ripple effect across industries — what tech media and analysts have dubbed “RAMageddon.”  Some businesses have chosen to purchase ahead of schedule or consolidate purchases to mitigate any impact from rising costs. Others are considering services that could extend lifecycles, or they’re working with what they have or holding off on any wholesale refreshes.  In healthcare, research-heavy institutions may be especially affected as they rely on storage and analytics that are supported by large compute infrastructures.… Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:08:02 -0400 Jonathan Karl, Jeff Kula https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/healthcare-supply-chain-volatility-strategic-planning https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/threat-landscape-evolving-how-can-healthcare-organizations-protect-themselves Cyberattacks in healthcare are no longer slow or opportunistic. They are fast, coordinated and increasingly difficult to contain. According to CrowdStrike’s latest Global Threat Report, the fastest threat actors can move from initial access to lateral movement in under 30 seconds, shrinking the window for detection and response to near zero. That speed is redefining what effective defense looks like. For healthcare organizations — where uptime, patient safety and regulatory compliance are nonnegotiable — the stakes are especially high. Healthcare leaders need to understand how the threat… Wed, 10 Jun 2026 17:57:22 -0400 Nathan Eddy https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/threat-landscape-evolving-how-can-healthcare-organizations-protect-themselves https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/06/clinical-workflow-automation-ai-inroads-perfcon Healthcare executives are under pressure to reduce clinician burnout, address staff shortages and accelerate revenue cycle timelines. As artificial intelligence solutions are increasingly deployed to help mitigate these challenges, clinical and IT leaders are tasked with picking the most appropriate tools for their health systems — and expected to demonstrate measurable ROI from these investments. Research shows that clinical workflow automation strategies are proving effective across healthcare settings.

For operational and administrative workloads, healthcare organizations are eyeing where AI agents can best support their teams.
