If there's one thing we need more of in #healthcare leadership, it's curiosity. One Harvard Business Review study found that curiosity creates collaboration and reduces decision-making errors. Yet only 24% of organizations actively encourage it. This is a huge missed opportunity.

For many nurses, AI is already at the bedside, helping transcribe clinical notes, preventing falls, and streamlining care. symplr CNIO Allison Morin joined FreshRN to explain exactly how today's nurses are using AI to deliver better care. freshrn.com/ai-in-nursing/

New data on AI in #healthcare is in: Leadership is excited, but projects are often held up by security and data challenges. At this point, only half of organizations have a clear AI strategy, and just 30% of pilots have reached the production stage. bvp.com/atlas/the-heal…

Walgreens' new education initiative will cover the cost of tuition for pharmacy technicians to become pharmacists. This is exactly the kind of program we need more of to bring more people into #healthcare. beckershospitalreview.com/pharmacy/walgr…

So many great conversations at Becker's Healthcare 15th Annual Meeting, like this panel with symplr CEO BJ Schaknowski, Amy Bohachek Olson, Dr Zafar C, Michelle James, and Philip Hampton on building smarter, safer health systems. Looking forward to sharing more insights soon.

"Human-driven, tech-enhanced". That's exactly how I imagine the future of patient care with AI. Technology can never replace human connection and care, but it can provide clinicians with better tools, clearer data, and more time to focus on patients. modernhealthcare.com/care-delivery/…

At symplr, we saw a need for a scalable, standardized #HealthcareOperations platform, so we made one. Winning “Best Healthcare Big Data Platform” from MedTech Breakthrough is just the icing on the cake. Cheers to giving physicians the time they deserve back. symplr.com/press-releases…

One of my favorite things about #healthcare is that there's never a shortage of ideas. The challenge is refining those ideas long enough for them to actually become workable. And that's what I love about symplr. We study what's worked in the past so we can build on it.

Like CIO Theresa Meadows says, an operations-platform mindset is an absolute game-changer for #healthcare teams. It all comes down to bringing time, purpose, and joy back to care - whether it's in the hospital room or the back office. More here: symplr.com/cio

Imagine having to wade through 400 applications and platforms to get your job done. That's the current reality of healthcare, and one we're trying to fix at symplr. By consolidating workflows, we're addressing #burnout and bringing joy back to care. symplr.com/video/theresa-…

Patient payment plans aren't working for patients or providers. As uncompensated care costs increase and more revenue stalls in payment plans, it's clear there's an opportunity for third-party partners to take some of the burden off. #HealthcareFinance techtarget.com/revcyclemanage…

Payer organizations can expect tighter deadlines, higher compliance risks, and a bigger need for preparation ahead of these NCQA standards. Here's how credentialing and PDM software can help automate workflows and take some of the burden off teams: symplr.com/blog/preparing…

Another amazing story of nursing excellence from this team at Shady Grove Hospital. I couldn't agree more with CNO Joan Vincent - it's critical we do our best to take care of the people who take care of our communities. #Nurses DAISY Foundation symplr.com/video/moments-…

Healthcare is incredibly subjective; any kind of work centered on taking care of people is. I agree that beyond the "What if?" and "So what?" strategic questions we ask, we also have to ask questions that get at the emotions and real impact of decisions. hbr.org/podcast/2025/0…

For healthcare leaders in particular, I think keeping an open mind is a must when working with AI. We're essentially dealing with a technology that's evolving by the hour, so it's important to stay curious and continue to experiment. #HealthcareAI sloanreview.mit.edu/video/ai-leade…

I'm noticing a growing training and awareness gap when it comes to AI in #healthcare. New research from WoltersKluwerHealth found that only 18% of staff know about formal AI policies, while just 20% said they were required to undergo structured training. Time to close this gap.

PSV is incredibly time-intensive, especially in fragmented systems where errors easily slip through the cracks. symplr Credentialing Services automates primary source verification, so payers can get back to what matters most. Here's how it works: symplr.com/articles/what-…
