For many years at Canvas Medical we resisted the “headless EMR” label ⛔ It implied a back-end data architecture and developer tools (correct, we do have those) without a front-end interface (WRONG — Canvas is also the certified EMR front end for our customers). Turns out we fought the good fight and won it at a perfect time. The market has woken up to the need for a programmable UI, not a headless EMR. Ours is built with our server-side SDK, accessible to end users to customize and extend with AI-assisted coding. No developer needed. ✅ It’s only because we stuck to our guns, refusing to sell a product without our certified EMR front-end, that we're in this position to win. And now, I can’t see a world where the EMR GUI as we know it survives. The destination is an entirely new paradigm for interaction between the clinician, the patient, their data, and the steps to provide and document care. We will use natural language (voice, written text, inline commands) to prompt, instruct, and monitor agents taking action on your behalf. Examples: 🧠 Behavioral health — a psychiatrist wraps up a telehealth visit and agents schedule the GAD-7 follow-ups at 2 and 6 weeks, submit the prior auth for CBT, and e-prescribe buspirone 10mg twice daily. 💊 Chronic care management — clinician dictates “Refill the metformin, schedule a follow-up in 3 months, and flag if their A1C is overdue” and three workflows are executed. ⚖️ Weight management — a care team lead says “show me every patient outside of their target weight” and an agent evaluates smart scale data, trends results against patient-reported and physician-documented targets, builds a custom visual dashboard on the fly, and automates follow-up tasks for the patient. There will be a tremendous shift in expectations and capabilities in healthcare UX over the next 12-18 months, and our team is ready for it.

Massachusetts just became the first state to deploy ChatGPT to 40,000 employees. Not a pilot but a full deployment across the executive branch. I keep thinking about what this actually means. Government has always been last to adopt new technology. Cloud took a decade. SaaS took longer. AI is breaking that pattern. One state moved. Others will follow. That's how government works: someone goes first, proves it's safe, and the floodgates open. $125 billion in state and local IT spending this year. A growing share is about to flow toward AI. We're watching the largest buying shift in the public sector in real time. https://lnkd.in/eenESdgF

The October, 2025, Nonstop Insider has been published and in this issue, check out the NTI articles - there's two of them. One is solely focused on NTI messages, migrations and modernization something now being articulated as the M&Ms of NTI - sweet! https://lnkd.in/g4xaUDwb What stands out for the new and long-term customers of HPE Nonstop Compute is how the Nonstop sales team doesn't have a lock on products. There may be an interpretation that Nonstop sales team has a de-facto monopoly on products for Nonstop, and are the sole source of infrastructure software, but that is far removed from reality. Consider how NTI continues to migrate Nonstop customers away from legacy solutions - yes, NTI moves the data that moves your business. The second article reflects the growing trend of indepenent partner ecosystems becoming real. In this case, the article is a joint NTI - Infrasoft article that highlights how partners work together in support of programs and products advancing modernization - Yes, again, Sweet! https://lnkd.in/gk_asYwH Good reading and of course, check out mine and Justin's respective Op-Ed columns.

Dual Participation of MSSP and ACO REACH Technically, providers cannot participate in both MSSP and ACO REACH simultaneously. But I've always wondered: "How does CMS actually know?" I recently noticed that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services started publishing aggregated ACO REACH participant lists on data.cms.gov. Combined with existing MSSP lists, I now had both datasets to test my theory. Unfortunately, these datasets only provide provider names - no NPIs or unique identifiers. Multiple people can have identical names, making matching tricky. So, here's what I did. I identified Medicare providers with truly "unique" names nationally, then cross-referenced the 2023 MSSP and ACO REACH participant lists. The results? Yes, there are matches. Providers with unique names appear on both lists. This raises interesting questions about oversight coordination. MSSP and ACO REACH appear to use different enrollment portals and may be managed by separate teams - so how would cross-program checking work? The matches may indicate inadvertent dual participation, mid-year program switches, complex health system structures (multiple Tax IDs), or data reporting delays. What are your thoughts? How does CMS check dual enrollments? Should we switch to all NPI-based systems to prevent complicated Tax ID relationships? #Medicare #ACO #MSSP #ACOReach #ValueBasedCare #HealthcareData

Bad Hires Hurt More Than Open Roles. Losing time is just the beginning; it's about losing trust, momentum, and internal support. That’s why, at Colossus, we go beyond filling cybersecurity positions, we safeguard them. We prioritize screening for culture fit, clarity, and capability, recognizing that the price of a bad hire is always higher than anticipated. #CyberTalent #CybersecurityHiring #StaffingSolutions #CISO #InfosecCareers

Barti Software has raised $12 million Series A round to accelerate its AI-powered EHR and practice management platform for eye care. Built by an optometrist, Barti is an end-to-end operating system that solves key pain points for eye care practitioners. The platform unifies clinical, operational, and financial workflows, including an AI Scribe, native VoIP, and website management, to eliminate disconnected legacy systems. This empowers practitioners to automate administrative tasks, reduce burnout, and focus on patient care. The investment was led by Five Elms Capital. This partnership will enable Barti to scale its go-to-market efforts, grow its team, accelerate the development of new AI capabilities, and expand into ophthalmology. Congratulations to CEO Colton Calandrella, COO Kelly C., and the Barti team. PR Newswire: https://lnkd.in/gcuqzSRK #AI #HealthTech #EHR #PracticeManagement #EyeCare #Ophthalmology #Funding #SeriesA

I'm thrilled to share some exciting news about what's happening at Alliance! We are launching our new genAI Clinical Documentation system called AgileSCRIBE to our partners across the country. This innovative system is designed specifically to assist Physical Therapists in creating SOAP note documentation through ambient listening. AgileSCRIBE aims to revolutionize the way documentation is done, allowing Physical Therapists to spend more time with their patients and less time being bogged down by paperwork. By streamlining the documentation process, we hope to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of patient care. We are confident that AgileSCRIBE will be a game-changer in our clinics and are excited to offer this benefit to our partners soon.

I sat down with Frontegg CEO Sagi on scaling CIAM for Insight Health. A few highlights from our convo, • Day-one enterprise readiness (HIPAA, multi-org, customizable access policies) • Why “build your own auth” slows growth (SSO/RBAC/SCIM, audit logs) • Delegated admin so partners self-manage without pinging engineering • CIAM as a GTM enabler for AI agents and clinician workflows Replay + transcript: https://lnkd.in/grRed-C5
