In commercial health insurance, innovations are taking place to re-imagine health plan design. Daniel Corliss, Chief Executive Manager and Founding Partner at BSP (Business Stimulus Partners), and DC Angel spoke with Digital Disruption’s Hilary Kennedy about the changes he’s seeing.

“A lot is going on, but some of the critical components that are teed up for us today are the transparency laws that have taken effect,” Corliss said. These changes make hospital reimbursements and their contracts with different insurance providers non-secretive. “And so, every hospital system in the United States is supposed to be posting their contracts and their cash prices for all of their chargemaster services.”

Corliss said the current changes help determine the healthcare innovators worthy of investment from the venture capital side.

“I love the VC space because I can identify health tech entrepreneurs and founders that are creating awesome business models, technology, and products and services for the health plans that I serve,” Corliss said. “If I see something that I really like, and I see a startup that they’re doing things sustainably, ethically, and responsibly, and I want to help promote their growth and their success, I can invest capital into that company and then also insert them into the healthcare ecosystems and channel partnerships, to get them to rapid, scalable growth for that technology.”

Sometimes, Corliss said, innovators get stuck because they have great technology but don’t know what to do with it or how to make the right connections to bring the technology into the marketplace in a scalable way. That’s where businesses like Health Wallet can help make sense of the technology and put it to use.

Medicus report projects 24% more surgery center cases and 2027 anesthesiology, GI shortages

Medicus report projects 24% more surgery center cases and 2027 anesthesiology, GI shortages

Ambulatory surgery center volumes are projected to rise 24% over the next decade. Shortages in anesthesiology and gastroenterology are projected for 2027. That puts the staffing gap early in the growth period, so for operators planning coverage and outpatient capacity, the nearer 2027 date sets the pace.

  • 01A 24% ten-year forecast and a 9% forecast for 2023 to 2028 measure different windows; check the time frame and start year before putting either in a budget.
  • 02With about nine in ten ASCs at least partly physician-owned, a staffing gap could hit physician owners directly as clinicians and investors.

TheraPanacea's CEO says software, not hardware, will scale radiotherapy

TheraPanacea CEO Nikos Paragios said at ASTRO 2026 in Boston that vendor-agnostic AI software like ART-Plan can raise radiotherapy throughput on existing machines. A February 2025 Lancet Oncology study puts the global linac shortfall at 30%, with 36 of 181 countries owning no linac, limiting how far software alone can go.

  • 01A February 2025 Lancet Oncology study found a global median Linac Shortage Index of 130, a 30% capacity shortfall, and 36 of 181 countries with no linac at all.
  • 02Bundled adaptive systems already exist: Varian’s Ethos won FDA clearance in February 2020 and RaySearch demoed automated replanning at ASTRO, but buyers still need to validate acceptability and sign-off workflows.
