Hoover Pharmacy’s files were acquired by CVS and all patients will now receive dispensing service at their local Palo Alto branch.

“Andre and his team were instrumental in driving value for our pharmacy and securing the ideal buyer to meet our specific sale criteria. His reliable and consistent guidance allowed us to focus on maintaining operations throughout the transaction while introducing a buyer that would faithfully continue our legacy of care with our patients across the bay area”, Jonathan Han, COO of Hoover Pharmacy.

AI cuts cardiologists' echocardiogram review time by 46%

AI cuts cardiologists' echocardiogram review time by 46%

Late-breaking research presented November 9 at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026 reported that AI-drafted preliminary echocardiogram reports were comparable to human drafts. 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.

After Chicago: Did AI at AHA 2026 Pass Its Own Test?

After Chicago: Did AI at AHA 2026 Pass Its Own Test?

At AHA Scientific Sessions 2026 in Chicago, AI ECHO INSIGHT, WATCH-LV, PARAMOUNT and PROVAR+ showed gains in workflow efficiency, screening and treatment decisions, but none established a reduction in hard clinical events. The takeaway: the next test is proving these tools improve outcomes, especially in high-need populations, by connecting to established care.

  • 01AI ECHO INSIGHT cut echo reads 8.5 to 4.6 minutes, and PARAMOUNT changed treatment decisions, but no AI late-breaker showed fewer hard events.
  • 02ZEUS and Lp(a)HORIZON lowered their target biomarkers without reducing major cardiovascular events, a caution against treating algorithmic accuracy alone as proof of patient benefit.
  • 03Low-technology, team-based interventions such as CATCH in Colombia and Jamaica lowered blood pressure, showing the care systems AI tools must connect to.

Hospitals can meet antibiotic stewardship rules without a full-time ID hire

Hospitals can meet antibiotic stewardship rules without a full-time ID hire

Access TeleCare pharmacist Ashley Selby describes a telehealth antimicrobial stewardship model sized to each hospital's gaps. Joint Commission Standard MM.09.01.01 and 42 CFR 482.42 require a qualified physician and/or pharmacist leader, not a full-time hire, and a 14-study meta-analysis found telehealth stewardship cut antibiotic days of therapy without changing mortality.

  • 01Joint Commission Standard MM.09.01.01, in force since January 2023, requires a physician and/or pharmacist qualified in infectious diseases or stewardship to lead the program, and its committee note allows remote participation.
  • 02The Board of Pharmacy Specialties counts more than 2,380 BCIDP pharmacists nationally, while many small hospitals still assign stewardship to pharmacists without ID training.
  • 03A 14-study meta-analysis found telehealth stewardship raised guideline adherence and cut antibiotic days of therapy, but did not significantly change mortality.
