In a healthcare landscape where the prohibitive costs of technology can often impede progress, how does Software as a Service (SaaS) emerge as a cost-effective solution to bridge this gap and enhance patient care?

Addressing this critical issue, Mike Tracy, a C-Level Healthcare Operations Strategist with over 20 years of experience, notes the transformative impact of SaaS in healthcare.

"Software as a Service has become the alternative to implementing technology on your own," Tracy says. "It allows providers to leverage the best technology in the marketplace at a price point that is affordable and meets their needs depending on the size of the provider."

Regarding data and analytics, Tracey sees SaaS offerings as a true all-in-one solution.

"Software as a Service allows you to make sure you have all of your data in one place, one source of truth, to feed those AI models and allow for things like predictive analytics, which then allows you to do proactive outreach to members, to then help with preventative care, or to determine what actions are likely to happen next so that you can be advising your patient where they need to be, what they need to do before they’re even asking the question."

Bon Secours Mercy Health agrees to buy surgery center chain Surgery Partners for $5.7 billion

Bon Secours Mercy Health affiliate HealthSpan Partners agreed to acquire Surgery Partners in a $5.7 billion deal. The chain reported $3.31 billion in revenue during 2025, according to Fierce Healthcare. Insurers in its 30 states may face a bigger negotiator.

  • 01Surgery Partners reported $3.31 billion in revenue for 2025, while Bon Secours Mercy Health reported just under $14 billion, according to Fierce Healthcare. That suggests outpatient surgery could become a major part of the system's business.

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

mPulse’s Sam Oliver and Reva Sheehan said the CAHPS chapter moved with overall Medicare Advantage Star Ratings from 2026 to 2027 after CMS cut its weight from 4 to 2. With 11 measures slated to exit by 2029 and the equity reward cancelled, they urged quality teams to model CAHPS impacts and population mix alongside reweighting changes.

  • 01CMS cut CAHPS from a weight of 4 to 2 in the CY2025 final rule, effective with the 2026 Star Ratings, yet mPulse's chapter data shows CAHPS still moved in the same direction as overall stars for the 2027 cycle.
  • 02The April 2026 final rule removes 11 administrative measures, but none leave before the 2028 Star Ratings; the 2027 measure set is unchanged and the Health Equity Index reward is cancelled.
  • 03CAHPS stars are set by percentile cutoffs and reliability tests, and in the 2025 Star Ratings 13 percent of CAHPS results landed on a different star than the cutoff implied, 93 percent of them lower, according to RISE Health.

Why ECG device makers may stop rebuilding arrhythmia analysis from scratch

Monebo's Kinetic Software Library provides ectopic beat detection, QRS feature extraction, and heart rate and rhythm analysis for ECG devices. For ECG device engineering and regulatory teams, rhythm analysis could become a choice between building it and licensing it.

  • 01Fifty-one later FDA clearances trace their predicate lineage to Monebo's earlier libraries, a track record anyone evaluating the new one can check.
