https://healthtechmagazine.net/ en https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/finding-strategic-partner-support-ai-and-cloud-management Traditionally, the most common perception of healthcare was that it was slower to adopt new technologies compared with other industries by at least a decade. Now, as artificial intelligence becomes a feature or the main capability for solutions meant to support the space, healthcare organizations have become savvier about taking advantage of tech sooner. NVIDIA’s latest State of AI in Healthcare and Life Sciences survey found that 70% of organizations in these sectors are actively using AI, and 47% are using or assessing agentic AI. And with budgets on the minds of many healthcare… Thu, 16 Jul 2026 12:57:28 -0400 Lee Pierce, Eli Tarlow https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/finding-strategic-partner-support-ai-and-cloud-management https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/fact-or-fiction-sifting-through-common-misconceptions-about-cyber-resilience At a high level, cyber resilience is the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks or compromises affecting systems and processes that rely on digital resources.  When resilience is lacking, the consequences of an event can compound. A data breach may lead to legal and financial impacts, while a systems outage in healthcare could jeopardize patient care. Let’s sift through some common misconceptions about cyber resilience and determine what kernels of truth can ground better strategy.

Cybersecurity is no longer only an IT or operations issue. It’s key to patient safety.   As threat actors increasingly target hospitals and health systems with ransomware and other disruptive attacks, the stakes are higher than data loss or operational downtime. When clinical systems fail, the impact is felt by patients and their families. Ransomware attacks on ill-prepared hospitals can be life… Tue, 14 Jul 2026 14:17:11 -0400 Cindi Carter https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/clinical-care-resilience-goes-beyond-having-right-security-tools https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/how-rethink-cyber-risk-terms-financial-exposure Many healthcare organizations are treating cybersecurity as a cost center instead of a competitive advantage. Quantifying cyber risk in terms of financial exposure helps security teams justify their spending and make the case that security is an enterprise-critical endeavor. This approach pushes organizations to audit existing security tools, prioritize threats based on potential financial impact and measure success in dollar-based risk exposure rather than technical metrics. Here’s how a quantified risk analysis can help security leaders identify which investments meaningfully reduce… Mon, 13 Jul 2026 12:08:19 -0400 Buck Bell, Walt Powell https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/how-rethink-cyber-risk-terms-financial-exposure https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/how-nih-translating-70-years-health-data-speak-same-language The National Institutes of Health sits on one of the largest collections of biomedical research data in the world. Decades of federally funded studies on health issues such as heart disease, lung conditions, sleep disorders and genomics have generated petabytes of information. But for most of that history, the data was collected by different institutes and under varying standards. Historically, those disparate formats haven’t been easy to integrate. That dissonance is a problem when the goal is to train artificial intelligence models that can accelerate medical research. Three NIH offices —… Fri, 10 Jul 2026 13:45:07 -0400 Ashley Hackett https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/how-nih-translating-70-years-health-data-speak-same-language https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/5-questions-about-vibe-coding-security-risks-healthcare Whether executive leaders are aware or not, IT teams across industries are experimenting with “vibe coding,” or coding assisted by artificial intelligence. Here are five considerations for health IT managers as their teams begin to incorporate AI tools into their programming workflows. READ MORE: Code is no longer the bottleneck.

It’s clear why many providers are trying to transform their operations: The fragmented processes of the past cannot meet the growing demand for care, now and in the future. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been an ongoing area of interest in healthcare, especially as models and capabilities continue to improve. Solutions such as ambient clinical documentation and computer vision incorporated into virtual nursing are gaining ground, which can… Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:13:25 -0400 Teta Alim https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/health-systems-must-find-right-path-meet-demand-care https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/healthcare-must-avoid-layering-ai-tools-broken-foundation My husband and I met in residency. I left clinical practice. He stayed. He runs a small private office, and I watch it every day: a brilliant clinician who spends a fraction of his time doing what he is trained to do, what he loves, which is taking care of patients. The rest is prior authorizations, documentation and chasing referrals. It’s what makes him want to walk away from medicine entirely — not the patients, but the administrative burden. He’s not unique. I spent the early part of my career in surgical training, and I remember spending more time discharging a single patient than I… Tue, 07 Jul 2026 14:00:15 -0400 Dr. Tamara Elias https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/healthcare-must-avoid-layering-ai-tools-broken-foundation https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2026/07/healthcare-interoperability-improves-patient-care-perfcon Imagine someone suffering an injury while on vacation. They receive treatment at the nearest emergency department, where they are instructed to follow up with their primary care physician at home. But if the home physician isn’t able to access information about the care their patient received, the physician has to rely on the patient’s own recall. The doctor might order unnecessary tests the patient has already had, wasting time and money. With healthcare interoperability, however, healthcare team members have all of their patients’ medical information at their fingertips.

The Rochester, Minn.-based healthcare organization has long established its data governance and strategy, which has been foundational to its innovative approaches. That’s why the conversations around AI for the organization have always focused on addressing problems to solve rather than keeping up with the latest technologies.
