Mayo Clinic said its use of the Nvidia Blackwell-powered DGX SuperPOD supports the goal of detecting disease early enough to intervene. Ex., with this AI technology the analysis of pathology slides for the development of foundation models which previously took four weeks can now be completed in one week.

With Nvidia Blackwell architecture, the health system says it can further develop foundation models that tailor treatments to individual patient characteristics, analyze pathology images and accelerate the development of new therapies.

Cyber threats from groups like Interlock may use ClickFix tactics to deploy remote access trojans, gain credentials to move laterally through networks, and access Microsoft Azure Storage accounts to copy and transfer data for ransom.

By tricking individual users into downloading a remote access trojan through a fake browser or masquerading security software updates, threat actors then use legitimate tools to steal data before locking systems down for ransom.

Home health workflows are mobile, decentralized, and often rely on paper or legacy systems making interoperability challenging. TEFCA participation, while not mandatory, will likely become the industry standard that streamlines data exchange.

A kansas hospital has filed suit against a payer who they allege has withheld $2 million in payments. The payer reportedly lsues Apixio, a technology whose marketing says 60% of hospital stays include invalid medical diagnoses. The AMA said in March that is is concerned about the use of AI in further burdening the prior authorization process and resulting in more denials which harm patients.

An Advent Health hospital is seeking to order Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City to pay $2 million for denied claims related to documented diagnoses, and to stop using clinical validation models to deny payments.

Health system leaders are monitoring AI regulation as states and the federal government take different approaches to the technology. The One Big Beautiful Act originally included a 10-year ban on state regulation of AI before the Senate scuttled it. Meanwhile, states continue to pass laws restrictin...
