There are places we think of as clean and places we think of as less hygienic.

Adella Thompson, an experienced horse trainer and enthusiast, has no doubt which category her favorite place is in.

“I work in a barn,” Thompson said. “There’s a lot of manure and urine. There are horses everywhere. There are dogs everywhere. It’s a setting where you’re constantly cleaning out stalls, cleaning and grooming horses, feeding horses, watering horses, using buckets over and over again, and then caring for their medical needs.”

While pet owners are used to tricking their pooch or kitten into hopping in the car for a trip to the vet, a horse requires a vet to make house calls. That’s why Thompson, and many other horse-lovers, have learned so many tricks and tips on how to care for horses and take care of the smaller nicks and cuts suffered rather than constantly having a vet come to the stable.

Not long ago, Thompson noticed one of her horses suffered an injury at a show that required some attention. Fortunately, she had been turning to Ionogen products for some time and knew of a quick fix.

“She had a cut over her left eye. It didn’t require stitches, but it was deep, and it was bleeding. I immediately sprayed it with Ionopure Pet Health, and I watched the cut heal itself on its own,” she said.

John Shanahan, President and CEO of Ionogen, was pleased to hear of the product’s uses in the equine community, even if it wasn’t a use case he initially had in mind.

“We created Ionopure Pet Health because there was a gap for household pets in having products that could really be effective on things like hotspots, cuts and abrasions, and even rinsing the eyes and things like that,” he said. “There were other products that kind of existed in the space, but, in our opinion, they were too underpowered, they were too weak, and they didn’t actually perform and weren’t remaining stable enough for a long period of time.”

Ionopure Pet Health turned out not only to keep stable, but also to be effective in the stable, with its use in equine settings likely to continue for years to come.

Black Book: AI may make some outsourced health plan work cheaper to bring in-house

Black Book: AI may make some outsourced health plan work cheaper to bring in-house

U.S. health plan administrative costs rose 2.7% to about $69.2 billion in the first half of 2026, even as margins improved to 4.1%. Black Book Research's 2027 outlook says AI is starting to move payer sourcing in both directions. Demand for specialist vendors stays strong in some functions, while automation could make in-house or hybrid models viable in others. The report recommends comparing each major outsourced service with rival vendors and the best internal or hybrid option, and checking whether projected savings become actual cash.

  • 01Every major outsourced payer service should be benchmarked against a rival vendor and against the plan's best feasible internal or hybrid model, a three-way contest at each renewal.
  • 02Avoided vacancies, projected productivity gains and payment recoveries are not recurring cash, so outsourcing savings should not be assumed to fund AI until the service, AI and funding cases each stand on their own.
  • 03Provider data sits on both sides of the sourcing question: it is a top pain point and a specialist-demand area, yet also one of the functions where automation could make hybrid or in-house models viable.

Hugh Chatham surgical tech program draws 65 for 12 seats

Hugh Chatham surgical tech program draws 65 for 12 seats

Hugh Chatham Health and Alleghany Health marked one year with Advocate Health as a surgical technology program drew 65 applicants for 12 seats. An anniversary release lists $11.3 million in pay and rewards and a $19.3 million capital figure, and says nearly 1,000 patients were connected to specialty and higher-acuity services through Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. Local training seats look like the next limit in Elkin.

  • 01In rural North Carolina, a new surgical technology program drew more than five applicants per seat, which points to training capacity, not interest, as the thing to expand.
  • 02Pay and rewards totaled $11.3 million in year one, versus a $19.3 million capital figure—about 58% as large, by MarketScale’s arithmetic.
  • 03Nearly 1,000 patients were connected to specialty and higher-acuity services versus just over 70 virtual consultations and encounters (about 14:1 by MarketScale’s arithmetic), with expanded virtual care planned for year two.

Cardiologists averaged 4.6 minutes finalizing AI drafts versus 8.5 minutes without AI. The findings are a non-peer-reviewed abstract.

  • 01Cardiologists averaged 4.6 minutes finalizing AI-drafted echo reports versus 8.5 minutes without AI, about 46% less time.
  • 02Cardiologists made substantial changes to 50.6% of AI drafts and 49.7% of human drafts.
  • 03The research used 1,200 echocardiograms from 21 Kaiser Permanente Northern California medical centers.
