👩💻 Go-live is only the first step in getting real value from an EHR.

After implementation, many organizations shift focus to other priorities, but ongoing optimization is where meaningful improvements happen. Refining workflows, incorporating provider feedback, and aligning the system with day-to-day clinical needs can make a real difference in efficiency and satisfaction..

👉 Learn why EHR optimization beyond go-live matters:

Ongoing EHR optimization is essential to reduce provider burnout, improve workflows, and ensure systems evolve with clinical, regulatory, and organizational needs.

📢 2026 is bringing a major healthcare policy shake-up—and health systems can’t afford to ignore it.

From reimbursement and regulatory changes to shifts in coverage that could impact patient access and uncompensated care, the policy landscape in 2026 will directly affect operations, margins, and care delivery.

The organizations that prepare now will be best positioned to manage risk and adapt to what’s coming.

Here’s what health systems and providers need to know:

On December 29, 2025, federal officials announced that every U.S. state will receive between $147 million and $281 million in rural health funding

🚨 Major new funding is coming for rural healthcare in 2026.

A significant federal investment aims to strengthen rural health systems—expanding access to care, supporting the workforce, and enabling innovation through technology and new care models.

For rural hospitals and providers, this funding represents a real opportunity—but preparation and strategy will be key.

What if the fastest way to reduce clinician turnover isn’t hiring — but fixing the EHR?

For many clinicians, daily frustration with inefficient workflows and documentation is pushing them toward the door. The good news? Organizations that invest in improving the EHR experience are seeing real impact on retention.

🚨 Telehealth is coming into sharper focus for 2026.

The new 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule from CMS brings permanent updates that could expand telehealth’s reach across hospitals, clinics, and rural providers: increased facility-site fees, virtual direct-supervision approved, and the removal of follow-up-visit frequency caps.

If your organization provides or depends on virtual care—especially in underserved or rural areas—this is a critical moment to revisit your telehealth strategy, billing workflows, and compliance readiness.

Our team spent the morning volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank on November 13, 2025, and it was a great experience all around. This was our third year partnering with Second Harvest, and it’s something we look forward to every year.

The Cold Sort shift lived up to its name, but our group powered through. Eleven team members helped sort 14,000 pounds of food, which will provide roughly 3,000 meals for families in our community. We also helped keep day-to-day operations moving so Second Harvest can continue the important work they do.

More than anything, the day brought a sense of teamwork and purpose. It felt good to step away from our desks and do something that makes a real difference.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered. Your time and effort matter, and so do the people we were able to help.
