Welcome to the weekly edition of Healthcare IT Today Bonus Features. This article will be a weekly roundup of interesting stories, product announcements, new hires, partnerships, research studies, awards, sales, and more. Because there’s so much happening out there in healthcare IT we aren’t able to cover in our full articles, we still want to make sure you’re informed of all the latest news, announcements, and stories happening to help you better do your job.
This edition is a special dispatch from the first days of ViVE 2024. There have been a lot of new research reports, products, and partnerships announced in Los Angeles. We wanted to try and cover as many announcements for the Healthcare IT Today community as we could. You can also listen to our ViVE 2024 Preview in Episode 134 of the Healthcare IT Podcast to get our take on the most important trends and topics on the agenda.
