The challenges healthcare executives and administrators face are constantly changing. Host Kevin Stevenson talks with the heroes behind the heroes that are enabling hospitals, urgent care centers and telemedicine operators to spend their time tending to patients, while they handle the logistics.

Building relationships is essential. Making sure we build strong relationships with our family, friends, and colleagues are crucial for us to have a meaningful life. For a combined 45 years, Professors Carole Robin, Ph.D., and David Bradford, Ph.D., taught how to break through superficial interactions, get real and create meaningful connections with people in every aspect of life through their course, Interpersonal Dynamics.

In this episode of I Don’t Care, Host Kevin Stevenson talked with the dynamic duo about healthy relationships and their new book CONNECT: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends, & Colleagues.

“It’s [the book] about creating more functional healthy relationships,” Robin said.

Life is complicated, especially when it comes to relationships. There are many intricacies involved in making sure we maintain solid foundations with those around us. In their book, they talk about everything from expectations to conflict. They also dig in on the meaningfulness of taking a relationship from casual to something more profound.

What they are doing seems to be working. Robin mentioned they get emails from students and former students lauding them with praise.

“We get emails and phone calls from them saying ‘You saved my marriage,’” Robin said.

There are a few big moments in the big book. One of those is called “Take Disclosure Risks.” In this, the authors explain how to tell someone something about yourself. This builds trust, and it doesn’t have to be a significant thing.

To learn more about the authors and the book, listen to this episode.

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Dental practice exits now take 3–5+ years of prep. Dental Economics says associate-to-buyout timelines often run three to five-plus years. That pushes revenue-cycle controls, buy-sell terms, and tax structure earlier, before a buyer appears.

  • 01A practical benchmark is emerging for succession: bringing in an associate with intent to buy can take a minimum of three years and often more than five, according to Dental Economics.
  • 02If accounts receivable looks “high,” it may be a bookkeeping and posting problem before it is a payer problem, a revenue-cycle diagnostic Group Dentistry Now says shows up frequently at scale.
  • 03Exit planning is now an operating system project: valuation, tax positioning, and transition support belong in the same workstream, because deal structure can lock in or foreclose tax options, per Dental Economics.

Scan.com’s $220M round makes imaging an API contract for plans and employers

Scan.com’s $220M round makes imaging an API contract for plans and employers

Scan.com closed $220 million in equity and debt. It’s expanding its U.S. imaging network plus API-based scheduling and results delivery. For health plans and employers, imaging is starting to look like a platform procurement and integration decision, not a directory problem.

  • 01If imaging access is bought via an API, the real spec becomes integration depth: two-way scheduling plus results routing into the EMR, according to Business Wire.
  • 02Scan.com’s mix of $90M equity and $130M debt earmarked for M&A and working capital points to a fast-changing imaging provider network, which can help access but demands discipline in contracting and integration testing.
  • 03The same week’s funding news for Elucid ($55M) suggests AI imaging vendors will keep pushing toward FDA-cleared workflow insertions, a different buying path than network-layer platforms.

MD&M West 2026 exhibitors pitch audit-ready, AI-ready device platforms

MD&M West 2026 exhibitors pitch audit-ready, AI-ready device platforms

MD&M West 2026 exhibitor messaging suggests compliance testing and AI-ready compute are becoming early decisions, not afterthoughts. Medical Economics described 2026 as a period shaped by rapid technological change, regulatory scrutiny and ongoing economic uncertainty. Medical Design & Outsourcing’s MD&M West 2026 preview points to exhibitors highlighting test equipment, contract manufacturing and other launch support services.

  • 01If a device roadmap includes AI features, the critical path shifts toward data and software evidence that regulators can audit, which means earlier lock-in of compute platforms and test plans, pulling verification and validation into supplier selection.
  • 02MD&M West exhibitor messaging suggests verification and validation capacity is becoming a procurement problem, with rentals and lab-ready gear positioned as a way to avoid booking delays and re-tests, according to Medical Design & Outsourcing.
  • 03With imaging and other new procedural and device concepts moving fast, manufacturing leaders should expect more frequent line-change decisions and component qualification work, as GE HealthCare's photon-counting CT CE mark reported by MedTech Dive and MDDI's New Technologies coverage illustrate.
