There’s a great deal of uncertainty in the job market right now owing to what might happen with the presidential election, will the Fed keep lowering interest rates, and what impact AI is having in replacing work normally done by employees.

For that reason, we decided to run a quick poll to see what candidates are experiencing. Here’s what we found out…

Hospitals acquiring other hospitals, clinics acquiring other clinics, is one thing. But PE firms, insurance companies, pharma, and even big tech acquiring them is something else altogether. Because this is happening with increased frequency we did a quick poll about it. The results were even more pessimistic than we’d anticipated…

Does it make sense for healthcare provide orgs to move their applications to the cloud? On the surface it seems like a no-brainer but there are always pluses and minuses, trade-offs, and the like, to consider. A quick poll yielded results that were about what we expected…

I personally hate a busy inbox, I’m a little OCD about cleaning it out so I have to check my emails even when I’m on vacation. But that’s just me. I wanted to see what other people do and the results were a little surprising…especially the number of masochists who prefer to swim through hundreds (or thousands) of emails when they get back to work. -Jeremy Bikman

If you listen to VC firms, and some AI startups, AI is destined to not only augment/enhance physicians’ capabilities, but replace them. These are rather bold claims so a quick poll of nearly 200 seasoned professionals tells a much more believable story.

We’re all in meetings, lots of meetings. So when does the law of diminishing returns kick in for Teams / Zoom meetings? We did a quick poll of over 130 business people to find out.

It seems everybody wants a piece of the healthcare pie but with decades of companies coming in and out of healthcare, it’s only natural to wonder which of the biggest tech companies will have the biggest impact over the long run. This is what we recently found out from our most recent poll…

Over the past few years, private equity firms investing in, and in many cases outright buying, healthcare organizations has been picking up steam. What do various healthcare leaders think of this trend? Is it beneficial overall or is it causing more harm than good? Here’s what we found out…

I’ve attended almost every HIMSS conference since 2003. For many years, I had my companies go as exhibitors, which is a pretty massive commitment in terms of money, time, and resources. But even when I’ve gone just as an attendee, it’s not particularly cheap, plus there’s a real opportunity cost associated with tapping out from my normal…

For business people, LinkedIn has become an important tool. But, as it's grown, quite a few things have started happening that aren’t just limiting its effectiveness but are also becoming downright annoying – proliferation of ads, spambots, faulty recommendations, and the like. So our CEO decided to do one of his quick polls and here’s what he found out…
