Hospitals depend on a constant stream of notifications to keep patients safe and systems secure. Electronic health record (EHR) prompts, clinical device alarms and security warnings all aim to surface information that requires attention. Yet volume, timing and relevance often collide, creating an environment where critical signals are lost in...Read more

Healthcare leaders see strong potential for artificial intelligence to support population health, clinical decision support and predictive analytics, yet the value of these tools depends on the reliability of the underlying data. Fragmented, poorly standardised information risks amplifying errors and blind spots when scaled through machine learning....Read more

Escalating cyber threats reshape risk in healthcare, with ransomware and data breaches now touching organisational survival as much as security operations. Disruptions can erode patient privacy, trigger costly litigation and strain finances already pressured by labour costs, inflation and reimbursement dynamics. The implications extend to continuity...Read more

Healthcare organisations are balancing expanding imaging archives with storage, migration and security costs, while debating how long to keep very old studies. Historical images can shape interpretation and reduce uncertainty, yet many retention schedules impose time limits without clinical evidence to guide deletion. An academic health system...Read more

Radiology’s rapid digitisation has delivered faster workflows and broader access to specialist expertise, yet it has also expanded the attack surface across imaging networks, data stores and remote workstations. Health care delivery has faced sharp growth in ransomware, data exfiltration and operational disruption, with high direct and downstream...Read more

Cyber incidents that strike large health systems increasingly ripple into post-acute and senior care, disrupting operations that already run on tight margins. Experiences shared at a major industry gathering underscored how last year’s attack on a key claims intermediary forced some organisations to revert to manual processes, slowing cash flow...Read more

Telemedicine has expanded rapidly from video consultations to a broad set of virtual services, yet much of its delivery still mirrors in-person models that centre on scheduled visits. As the global telehealth market heads toward an expected €388 billion by 2030, organisations face pressure to improve access, efficiency and care quality without...Read more

Precision medicine promises personalised and right-sized care, moving beyond one-size-fits-all treatment plans. However, delivering on that promise remains challenging, particularly in oncology, where clinical guidelines evolve rapidly, and data silos hinder timely, patient-specific decisions. In breast cancer care, these challenges have contributed...Read more
