Thank you to Tampa General Hospital Ventures, John D. Couris, and Rachel Feinman for hosting an impactful gathering at the NEXT Summit. A few key takeaways: • The technology is ready, adoption isn’t: Solutions exist today to meaningfully reduce the cost of administering healthcare, but scaling them remains the challenge. • Partnership strategy is urgent: Agile, AI-enabled companies, especially those deploying engineers alongside frontline teams, are rapidly reshaping the landscape. • The gap is widening: Tampa General represents what an innovation-forward system can look like,  but it also highlights the stark contrast across the broader landscape, particularly for rural operators navigating far more constrained environments. One data point that resonated:  After surveying more than one million patients, an Epic executive shared the top feedback:  “Make scheduling easier.” Physician feedback mirrors it: “Help me manage my time better.” Scheduling for patients and providers alike, remains one of healthcare’s clearest opportunities for modernization. It raises a practical question: “What was it like the last time you tried to schedule a procedure or surgery?” The back-and-forth, delays, and uncertainty speak for themselves, and underscore how ripe this area is for modernization. #HealthcareInnovation #HealthTech #ModernHealthcare #DiscomfortisGrowth

Today’s #TuesdayTip comes to you courtesy of our blog, “Comparing Healthcare AI Platforms: 7 Must Haves for Any Behavioral Health Organization.” We present to you… 🥁 Number 5: Data Security and HIPAA Compliance It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? *Of course* any org worth their salt is going to prioritize HIPAA compliance and data security. But it turns out, that isn’t always the case with tech vendors. Which means that unfortunately, the full onus is on #BehavioralHealthLeaders to investigate and vet any vendor you seek to bring into your org. So what do you do? Here’s the meat of your Tuesday Tip. When vetting an AI vendor for your behavioral health organization, ask the following questions: ◾How do you ensure data security and maintain HIPAA compliance? ◾What security certifications do you hold (e.g., SOC 2)? Are you pursuing any certifications specific to AI, such as ISO 42001? ◾How do you handle audit controls, privacy controls, and security controls? ◾Do you encrypt data both in transit and at rest? ◾In the event of a data breach or disaster, what are your recovery measures? ◾If your AI is supported by third-party applications, how do you ensure these applications maintain the same level of security and compliance that you do? ◾Is PHI used in model training? If not, how is data de-identified before being used for improvement? Only if your potential partner can satisfactorily answer *all* of those questions — and any others your IT leaders bubble up — should you consider this box checked. Want to learn the other 6 must-haves? Peep the 🔗 in comments.

🚨 Important Update for Healthcare Providers & Credentialing Professionals The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced an upcoming system update for the PECOS Provider Enrollment system. 🔹 What’s happening?  CMS is migrating the PECOS PI system to the AWS cloud environment. 🔹 Go-Live Date: May 4, 2026  🔹 System Downtime: May 2–3, 2026 🔹 Key Points to Know: * ✅ No change to the PECOS login URL * ✅ No changes to application functionality (business logic remains the same) * ⚠️ Organizations using IP whitelisting must update approved IP addresses before May 4, 2026 📌 If your organization relies on restricted network access, coordinate with your IT team to update allowlisted IPs via the CMS EUS Help Desk. This transition is expected to be seamless for most users, but proactive preparation will help avoid any disruptions in provider enrollment and credentialing workflows. #Healthcare #Credentialing #PECOS #CMS #MedicalBilling #ProviderEnrollment #HealthIT #AWSMigration

Urgent care leaders: HIPAA enforcement is tightening in 2025. OCR is actively enforcing thorough Security Risk Analyses.  Light or “check-the-box” SRAs are leading to settlements. HHS’s Security Rule updates are proposed (not final):   -Multifactor authentication  -Encryption  -Vulnerability scanning at least every 6 months  -Annual penetration test  -Network segmentation and resilient backups  -Workforce training against social engineering Information blocking has been in effect since December 2024.  Share EHI promptly, document decisions, and apply exceptions correctly. Courts narrowed tracking-tech guidance for public (unauthenticated) pages, authenticated portals and vendor tools remain in scope and require tight controls. Reproductive-privacy amendments were largely vacated on June 18, 2025, separate Notice of Privacy Practices changes still carry a February 16, 2026 compliance date. If you have questions or want help aligning your urgent care with current HIPAA enforcement and the 2025 proposal, contact us today.  info@dissentient.net • https://lnkd.in/eT88XFVQ #UrgentCare #HIPAA #HealthcareCompliance #Cybersecurity #HealthIT #PHI #OCR #InformationBlocking #PatientAccess #DataPrivacy #Ransomware #EHR #MFA #Encryption #PenTesting #Microsoft365

“Protect and preserve” is no longer enough for healthcare. With hospitals closing and waste evident across the system, the data is clear: leaders must adapt and innovate or risk being left behind. Asbel Montes, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Solutions Group Services, highlights this in The Leadership Lab podcast, reminding us that change comes at different paces, but it starts with honesty about inefficiencies. 💬 How can healthcare leaders accelerate the shift from preservation to true innovation, especially in the face of systemic waste?
