We work with a lot of healthcare companies.
But at the center of every conversation is one constant.

👉 Physicians.

Today, on , it is a reminder that no strategy, no technology, and no growth plan matters unless it works for the people delivering care.

The best organizations we see have one thing in common.

They do not build around physicians.
They build with them.

To every doctor navigating change, complexity, and constant demands, we see you.

And we are grateful for the role you play in shaping the future of healthcare.

🌻 CMS is eliminating fax machines and paper-based workflows. Not slowly. Not optionally.

👉 Systematically. And saving an estimated $781M per year in the process.

This is bigger than operations. It’s a market signal.

If you are building, scaling, or selling into healthcare:
• Digital-first is no longer a differentiator
• It is the baseline expectation
• And increasingly, a requirement

Here’s what we’re watching:

The companies that win will not be the ones who “add interoperability later.”
They will be the ones who design for it from day one.

Because once CMS moves, the market follows.

The question is not if you need to adapt. It’s how far behind you are today.

🌻 500 million health records exchanged through TEFCA!

Let that number sink in. 🤯 Interoperability is no longer theoretical. It’s operational.

For healthcare founders and value-based organizations, this changes the game:
• Data liquidity becomes expected, not optional
• Information blocking enforcement becomes real
• AI acceleration depends on clean, accessible data
• Competitive advantage shifts to those who integrate well

Here’s what many companies miss:
Interoperability is not just a compliance issue.
It’s a growth strategy.

If your solution cannot plug into national exchange frameworks, risk models, and digital quality programs… you will be left behind. The future of value-based care belongs to organizations that design with interoperability at the core — not as an afterthought.

HHS announced progress made in executing on President Trump’s, directive to lower the cost of healthcare for all Americans.

Proud to work alongside the team at ThoroughCare as they continue to lean into where value based care is headed.

The conversation around AI is shifting from experimentation to ex*****on. What matters now is whether platforms can support consistent performance across providers, care teams, and patient populations.

We are seeing more VBC organizations ask tougher questions about infrastructure, scalability, and reliability. That is a healthy shift for the industry.

Thank you for sharing the Deloitte article!

One thing is becoming clear across value based care conversations right now 🔍

The challenge is no longer identifying risk or generating insight. It is whether organizations can act on that insight consistently across providers, care teams, and patient populations.

This Deloitte outlook reinforces that AI and digital platforms are moving into the center of how healthcare organizations think about performance, coordination, and scalability. Not as future concepts, but as part of the operating infrastructure needed to deliver reliable outcomes 📊

As expectations continue to rise for ACOs and other VBC entities, the role of AI is shifting from analytics to ex*****on. From reporting to real-time decision support. From knowing what should happen to making sure it actually does 🧠
