Welcome to health care on air presented by Verizon. Hey, everyone, and welcome back to health care on air by Verizon. I'm your host Robin Smith with another snapshot from the Health twenty twenty three Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. But we have the opportunity to chat with some of our friends and partners about topics and trends in healthcare that are seeing some real momentum. This year's theme and health was creating a better future for all. So with that theme in mind, we wanted to see what some of our friends and partners had to say about the future of health care. Let's start with Adam Ball win from core wireless where he focuses on connected health. Hal is great for me because I did see old friends really hear from them what they're seeing in the markets. So with that said, Adam is a very unique individual. It comes from a nursing background. This year, what kind of gets you excited? What do you would it be seen? I know AI is the buzzword here. But if it is AI, please feel free. Oh, that's a good one too. Sure. Sure. Sure. So what I've seen with these conferences and others like this, especially at Health Here, fed a lot more time to be intimate with each of the OEMs, you know, really getting in there and seeing what's coming, what's what's on the future. Yeah. And, AI is driving a lot of, analytics for assessment. And I think that that's really nice, from a remote perspective. If you have something like a wound that could progress into sepsis. They have devices now that are continually monitoring things like temperature, moisture, taking photos, sending that back to the physician so they can assessment early prevention. You know, that's the key to keeping people out of the office. So more AI in what you're really focused on, which is delivery of devices, maintenance, logistics around devices in the home, that's gonna now more and more AI built in interlaced applications on top of the to those hardware devices. Absolutely. AI a miles for the ability of cross referencing such a large sample size. Karen Fanger here, Verizon Healthcare Solutions. Excited to be here with doctor Sandeep Colum, and still live Sit Camden, CEO. Now have you seen anything that really excites you and stands out about the the conference or some innovations here? You know, a couple of the things that stood out for me are, you know, how there's been a big trend on push towards more collaboration with all these companies Yeah. Partnering and making sure that everybody can work together and coordinate all of the resources that need to capital. So, yeah, what the fights you most about? Yeah. We're having a great quote saying that, they industries really moved away from aviation sickness with pilotitis, to adopting scalable solutions out there. So it's Really encouraging to see patients and health systems came to thousands of patients served and, also leaning into strong AI strategies. There's been a lot of talk of gen AI, right, I think it's a hot topic, but also what does AI mean past gen AI? What are the unique data sets out there? Do we index it? What can we potentially show to improve the standard of care in the short term? And also, what does the future hold? Blake Steve and Michael. Michael, tell me a little bit about Hello Care. What you guys are doing and why you're here? Yeah. Absolutely. So we're really excited to be here this is our first time at the Health County. Oh, it was your first time. Yeah. Yeah. It's been. So we're a virtual care delivery platform. So that what we say is we're the world's most integrated. So we have comprehensive AI built into our platform. So it's a camera that sits in the inpatient room. Yeah. And so what our platform involves is it allows nurses to take better care of patients. Perfect. Steve, you brought up connect to patient room, which we're seeing a lot of the technology here focused on that. You're coming from large health So why do you think there's this focus on the connect to patient room? Why is that kind of getting a lot more and more attention these days? Yeah. When you look at the be, you know, especially some of the older healthcare systems, they've been around for a long time. So they've been living with legacy applications, legacy devices, for quite some time. COVID, to be honest, kind of jump started the need to start moving into technological age. And so being able to be connected virtually was paramount. Looking at innovation centers, that places are doing, looking at hospital room of the future, they're able to kind of showcase the different technologies to the clinical folks and really get that feedback. Love that. Yeah. Alright. Last but not least, Blake? Yeah. What are you seeing here that you love? They're excited about? It might be different. A trend you're seeing. We saw a lot of, you know, really insight on the RPM and chronic care management. I think that that's really starting to take off and they're, you know, we've seen a lot of different companies in space that either are looking to partner with us or have an opportunity to really take that to the next level, because really nobody's cracked the code yet. Right? Like, it's there's a lot of challenges, there's a lot of data integrations, right, the reimbursement, the list goes on. Right? So, yeah, I'm I'm really excited see where that goes in the next probably two to five years. And, yeah, we're excited to be part of that journey. Well, you deserve about at least trends in under five minutes from these impressive leaders. How's that for efficiency? As always, thank you so much for joining us, and until next time. Take care.

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.
