St. Paul, MN – The Minneapolis Star Tribune has named IC System one of Minnesota’s Top 200 Workplaces. Minnesota employees were surveyed about their employers, and 200 businesses across the state were selected. A complete list of the businesses is available in the Star Tribune and appeared in the newspaper’s Top Workplaces special section on Sunday, June 19.

The Star Tribune’s Top Workplaces award acknowledges the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions measuring engagement, organizational health, and satisfaction. The analysis included responses from thousands of employees at Minnesota businesses, including public, private, and nonprofit organizations.

“Having IC System listed among the Star Tribune’s Top 200 Workplaces is such an honor,” said John Erickson, President and CEO. “We’re in the third generation of family ownership at IC System, so I’m happy to carry on my family’s tradition of giving people a place where they enjoy working. As a result, our employees tend to feel like they’re part of a family.”

John continued, “It makes me proud to know we’ve created a working environment where employees feel engaged and enjoy working here. Whether employees work remotely or at the office, we want them to feel part of the IC System culture.”

The surveys to compile the rankings of the Star Tribune Top 200 Workplaces are collected by Energage, an independent organization specializing in employee engagement and retention.

To qualify for the Star Tribune Top Workplaces, a company must have more than 50 employees in Minnesota. Thousands of companies were invited to participate. The rankings were based on composite scores calculated based on employee responses.

IC System ranked 42nd in the midsize business category. The Star Tribune also named IC System a Top Workplace in 2017; a Top 150 Workplace in 2018, 2019, and 2020; and a Top 175 Workplace in 2021.

“Our focus at IC System is people,” said Joe Erickson, Director of Human Resources. “‘People’ is our number one Core Value. Everything else is secondary. Our business focuses on employees, clients, and consumers by treating people with the dignity and respect they deserve. When you do that, everything else about the business falls into place. That’s our philosophy, and I think the Top Workplace recognition shows that our approach is working and employees above all have great experiences with IC System.”

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

According to Bluesight, nearly 500 hospitals track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems. Checks of cabinets and carousels have been missing that RFID-tracked supply. Gilman argues that bringing RFID data in next to cabinet data gives more complete usage rates and days-on-hand calculations, though the gain could depend on whether systems connect at the transaction level.

  • 01During a shortage, a count that stops at the dispensing cabinet can get both stock on hand and usage rate wrong, which is how hospitals end up placing emergency orders they may not need.
  • 02RFID is no longer limited to kit and tray management: nearly 500 hospitals already track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems.
  • 03For operators weighing a merged feed, the key question could be whether RFID usage flows into the days-on-hand calculation at the transaction level or sits beside cabinet data as a static count.

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3, up 36%

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3, up 36%

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3 2026, up 36% year over year. Nationally, Rock Health counted $3.7 billion raised by U.S. digital health startups across 114 deals in the quarter. Bigger checks and steady acquisitions mean buyers must assess which vendors are pulling ahead—and which may change owners mid-rollout.

  • 01New York's digital health startups grew Q3 funding 36% year over year, while U.S. digital health startups raised $3.7 billion across 114 deals in Q3, according to Rock Health.
  • 02Average U.S. digital health deal size has climbed from $20.6 million in 2024 to $31.0 million so far in 2026, so more of the money is going into bigger rounds.
  • 03Acquisition is still how most digital health companies exit, with 164 deals through Q3 2026 and no new public listings since August 2025. That makes a vendor's change-of-ownership terms a live contract question for buyers.
