What does real value-based care actually look like, and why are so many organizations still struggling to get there? In a recent episode of the Akros Advantage, Rachael Jones, MPA, CEO of Syntax Health (recently acquired by Lightbeam Health), sat down with Demi R. to unpack the realities of value-based care and the evolving role of hashtag#AI. In the interview, Rachael and Demi discuss: - The true definition of value-based care - Where hashtag#VBC adoption stands today and why true downside risk is still limited - VBC contracting failure points - Where AI can meaningfully reduce administrative burden - What it looks like for payers and providers to have more transparent conversations about goals and accountability Watch the full episode: lnkd.in/er4ZNUai

At HIMSS, our Chief Technology Officer, Michael Hoxter, shared an important point that cuts to the heart of how healthcare leaders should think about AI. Mike appreciated the opportunity to speak with Brittany Quemby of Healthcare IT Today about why healthcare leaders must separate knowledge and intelligence to truly understand AI’s capabilities. "AI is very, very smart, and it can answer questions that are general knowledge - it would kill it at trivia - but it doesn't know what you know," Mike said. "It doesn't know about your patient. It doesn't know a lot of the detailed, nuanced things that aren't out there available on the public internet." healthcareittoday.com/2026/03/13/him…

Healthcare’s digital transformation has made information the currency of care. In one of Healthcare NOW Radio's top thought leader posts of the month, Russell Smith, Vice President of IT Security, discusses why cybersecurity is healthcare’s new trust framework. "In an era defined by data exchange and AI-driven insight, cybersecurity functions as healthcare’s trust framework," Russell writes. "It gives organizations the confidence to share information, coordinate care, and adapt to new technologies without sacrificing reliability. That confidence is what turns digital progress into lasting, patient-centered improvement."

There Seems to be No Limits on AI in Clinical Settings for 2026 See what the experts say from @symplr @LeanTaaS @CliniCompIntl @MDCloneHQ @PointClickCare @InteliChart @AlteraHealth @lucemhealth @LightbeamHealth & more healthitanswers.net/there-seems-to…

Andy De, Chief Marketing Officer, Lightbeam Health Solutions "The adverse impact of rising health insurance premiums and the loss of Medicare and Medicaid patients, which has already led to a number of rural and community hospitals shutting their doors, combined with reduced healthcare IT spend, will drive increased M&A across healthcare organizations as well as enterprise SaaS vendors in 2026. AI startups will continue to see disproportionate VC investment, but pragmatism will begin to outweigh FOMO, with growing demand for Agentic AI platforms and AI agents that address real-world problems, reduce fatigue and burnout for physicians, nurses, and care teams, and deliver robust value, ROI, and payback on these investments."

AI is already finding its footing in preventive care. A new JAMA study from Johns Hopkins Medicine found that a fully AI-led diabetes prevention program matched the results of human-led programs: 31.7% of participants in the AI group met CDC-defined benchmarks for diabetes risk reduction, nearly identical to 31.9% in traditional programs. The AI model also had higher initiation and completion rates. For millions at risk of type 2 diabetes, time and access are often the greatest barriers to preventive care. AI-led programs can help close that gap, extending interventions to populations who might otherwise never start. At Lightbeam, these studies validate where population health is headed: technology and data working together to make personalized, preventive care possible for every patient, no matter their setting. 👉 Read more: tinyurl.com/jwmj6rnr
