Whitepaper: Burnout was Rising. This Louisiana Health System Found a Way to Scale Relief

At Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, HER analytics revealed that providers were losing hours to notes. Even after initial investments in voice tools, burden remained, and front-line dissatisfaction was growing.

By implementing a generative AI assistant with ambient capabilities, FMOLHS saw strong clinical uptake and measurable results. After-hours documentation dropped 65%. High-value coding rose, and providers reported better work/life balance across the board.

What this case study covers:

  • How FMOLHS integrated ambient AI with Epic to ease documentation burden,
  • What drove 70% clinician adoption and long-term rollout success, and
  • Operational, financial and workforce results that earned C-suite buy-in.

How Health Systems are Staying Ahead of Drug Shortages

How Health Systems are Staying Ahead of Drug Shortages

With hundreds of drug shortages persisting across the U.S., pharmacy leaders are adopting more coordinated strategies to manage supply disruptions and mitigate financial losses. These include expanding on-hand inventory for critical injectable medications, centralizing supply chain operations and embedding clinical decision tools. The goal is to ensure supply chains are “not only operationally sound but also clinically meaningful.”

Hospital labor expenses tied to managing these shortages increased from $359 million in 2019 to $894 million in 2024, according to a June Vizient report. Pediatric facilities were hit especially hard, tracking 25% more shortages and more frequently exceeding pharmacy budgets than other hospitals.

Vizient researchers in 2019 also estimated that drug shortages cost hospitals an additional $359 million annually in labor alone and $200 million more each year from purchasing higher-priced substitute medications.

Ten pharmacy leaders were asked “What strategies are most effective in mitigating persistent drug shortages.”

Whitepaper: 180 Healthcare Breaches Reveal: Your Email System May be Your Biggest Risk

Despite a 70% surge in cybersecurity spending, email remains healthcare’s most compromised asset. In 2024 alone, 180 healthcare organizations – including users of Microsoft 365, Proofpoint and Google Workspace – reported email-related breaches to the HHS Office for Civil Rights. Many of these incidents were preventable, tied to misconfigured settings and unchecked vulnerabilities, not a lack of investment.

This exclusive report unpacks how even leading health systems fall short on HIPAA email compliance – and what leaders must do now to avoid financial, legal and reputational damage.

Download to learn:

  • Why 43% of email breaches happened on Microsoft 365, despite security add-ons,
  • How AI-driven phishing and poor email security protocols expose even trained employees, and
  • What the average $9.8 million breach cost means for your 2025 risk strategy.

Whitepaper: Better Risk Capture, Better Margins: An Exec Playbook for Improving Risk Adjustment

Incomplete risk capture undermines revenue and care quality, especially as value-based models accelerate. Industry averages fall short: 80% recapture rates, 70% annual wellness visit coverage. That leaves dollars – and patient outcomes – at risk.

This toolkit shows how leading organizations are raising performance with best-in-class targets, technology-enabled processes and a focus on clinician engagement.

See how you can reach 95% recapture, minimize audit exposure and fund care improvements without adding administrative burden.

Providers Should Be Aware of Medicare Fraud Scheme

July 23, 2025

Providers Should Be Aware of Medicare Fraud Scheme

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has identified a fraud scheme targeting Medicare providers and suppliers.

Scammers are impersonating CMS and sending phishing requests for medical records or payment of alleged Medicare debts, often via fax or email, falsely claiming to be part of a Medicare audit or debt collection efforts.

CMS generally does not initiate audits via fax or email unless a provider requests it, and Medicare overpayment collections are handled through the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs).

If you receive a suspicious request, don’t respond. Work with your Medical Review Contractor to confirm if a medical records request is real or with your MAC to discuss overpayment collections.
