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 HIMSS 2024 in sunny Orlando. As always, there have been a lot of new products and partnerships announced at the event, and we wanted to try and cover as much as we could for the Healthcare IT Today community.
