As we embark on 2026, our vision remains clear: helping clients achieve their goals and delivering tools that create real value for providers and healthcare organizations. From AI innovations to data aggregation and interoperability solutions, we’re committed to building technology that enables clinicians, empowers patients and transforms organizations. Here’s what we see shaping the year ahead and how we’ll continue our mission to serve.

From AI innovations to data aggregation and interoperability solutions, we’re committed to building technology that enables clinicians, empowers patients and transforms organizations.

Redefining data and care delivery

Healthcare’s digital infrastructure has matured, and trusted data, value-based payment models and seamless connectivity are redefining how care is delivered. The era of fragmented, low-quality data is over. Leading organizations now prioritize intelligent data management with real-time validation and governance to create a single source of truth that drives better outcomes, lowers costs and makes AI initiatives trustworthy. Predictive analytics continue to play a critical role in improving health outcomes and reducing risk. At the same time, federal efforts are accelerating the move toward a patient-centered data ecosystem. Quality data fuels better strategies, and modern infrastructure makes AI practical at scale. These initiatives aren’t on their way—they’re already here.

Navigating regulatory complexity

Healthcare is constantly changing, and with that comes new laws and regulations specific to health IT. With Congress and federal agencies slow to act on AI, states continue to step in with local laws, creating a patchwork of requirements that developers and providers must navigate. ASTP/ONC (the primary regulatory body for health IT developers) is taking action through the HTI-5 proposed rule and has indicated they plan to act further later in the year with another regulation that may reframe EHR certification entirely. CMS continues to use non-regulatory levers to move its “Kill the Clipboard” idea forward, working with stakeholders across healthcare. Meanwhile, electronic prior authorization requirements will demand attention as standards-development organizations finalize their work and encourage payers to abandon proprietary connections. And of course, policymakers at both the federal and state levels continue to push for patient access to, and control of, their data, working to break down remaining barriers. Together, these developments will highlight a year of regulatory complexity and operational adaptation.

Reducing the burden with AI

AI is moving beyond pilots to actual deployment, driven by clear ROI and deeper EHR integration. Ambient listening is becoming a standard tool for reducing documentation burden as major EHRs embed these capabilities natively. At the same time, AI continues to transform hospital operations, automating complex back-office workflows such as prior authorization, claims management and patient scheduling. Governance will continue to be an ultimate differentiator: robust data integrity and bias mitigation will separate successful deployments from stalled pilots. Combined with robotic process automation, these efficiencies will reduce manual work, alleviate burnout and strengthen financial stability, enabling greater investment in clinical care.

We measure success by our clients’ outcomes. That means delivering the best tools possible and walking with our partners every step of the way—through 2026 and beyond.
