In the inaugural episode of Care Anywhere: The Global Health Workforce Podcast, host Lea Sims, CMO of CGFNS International, Inc., introduces the organization's mission to address global healthcare workforce challenges. Joining the discussion are Dr. Peter Preziosi, President and CEO of CGFNS International, Inc., and Julia To Dutka, Chief of the CGFNS Global Health Workforce Development Institute, who explore the evolving landscape of healthcare, workforce shortages, and the need for innovation in credentialing and workforce development.

CGFNS: A Global Leader in Workforce Solutions

Dr. Preziosi describes CGFNS as a global health workforce solutions company with a focus on career mobility, credentialing, and workforce development. “We have a real opportunity here to lift up the health workforce all around the world to better prepare them for the major challenges,” he explains, highlighting CGFNS's pivotal role in shaping the future of global healthcare.

Julia To Dutka adds that CGFNS's strengths in assessment and certification, along with the creation of the Global Health Workforce Development Institute, position the organization to address healthcare challenges during a critical time.

Addressing Workforce Shortages and Collaboration

The conversation turns to the global workforce shortage, with Dr. Preziosi stressing that the issue is not just about numbers but about deploying healthcare workers more effectively. He notes that many countries face insufficiencies in skills and proper placement, and ministries of health and labor are looking for solutions.

Julia To Dutka emphasizes the importance of breaking down professional silos to improve collaboration. “Unless we can move in those directions, we're not going to get anywhere,” she remarks.

Global Certification for Healthcare Workers

A significant focus for CGFNS is global certification. Julia To Dutka discusses the recent launch of the global certification exam for rehabilitation nurses, which sets a new standard in validating healthcare worker skills. “We now have a model we can apply to other high-need areas,” she says, underscoring the organization's commitment to workforce development.

With a focus on career mobility, certification, and global collaboration, CGFNS is well-positioned to address the complex challenges facing healthcare today and lead future innovations.

The EU’s MDR delay buys time, but it won’t clear your commissioning bottleneck

The European Commission backed extending EU MDR transition deadlines to December 2027 and December 2028, Medical Design & Outsourcing reported. It buys time, not ramp-up capacity. Design News cites digital commissioning and machine digital twins to cut “power-on” surprises and speed validation and operator training.

  • 01If an EU portfolio includes Class III, December 2027 is now the planning anchor, but the internal gating item may shift to validation capacity and automation readiness, not paperwork.
  • 02Digital commissioning is becoming a procurement spec, not a buzzword, because it lets teams run DFM/DFA learning loops before hardware is built, which Design News notes is meant to reduce machine power-on surprises.

HCA’s Q1 was not about volume. It was about coverage and collecting cash

HCA Healthcare reaffirmed 2026 guidance after Q1 weather and a muted respiratory season cut adjusted EBITDA by about $180 million, according to HealthLeaders and Fierce Healthcare. Payer mix shifted fast. Exchange admissions fell about 15% and uninsured admissions rose about 16%, Fierce reported.

  • 01A mild flu season can be a margin event: HCA tied a 42% drop in respiratory admissions to a roughly $180M adjusted EBITDA hit (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare).
  • 02The 2026 risk is sliding from demand to coverage: HCA cited a $600M–$900M full-year EBITDA headwind from exchange-related changes, with $150M already in Q1 (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare).
  • 03Supplemental payments are becoming an operating capability, not a windfall: HCA said Q1 Medicaid program net benefit was about $200M vs $80M expected (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare), putting state-by-state reimbursement strategy on the CFO’s critical path.

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Associate-led dental practice successions can take 3–5+ years. Dental Economics says associate-to-buyout timelines often run three to five-plus years. That pushes revenue-cycle controls, buy-sell terms, and tax structure earlier, before a buyer appears.

  • 01A practical benchmark is emerging for succession: bringing in an associate with intent to buy can take a minimum of three years and often more than five, according to Dental Economics.
  • 02If accounts receivable looks “high,” it may be a bookkeeping and posting problem before it is a payer problem, a revenue-cycle diagnostic Group Dentistry Now says shows up frequently at scale.
  • 03Exit planning is now an operating system project: valuation, tax positioning, and transition support belong in the same workstream, because deal structure can lock in or foreclose tax options, per Dental Economics.
