On this episode of A Move In The Light Direction, a podcast by Surfacide UV Technology, host Daniel Litwin talked with Wendy Walling, Director of Global Marketing at Intellego Technologies, and Jeff Veenhuis, President and CEO, Surfacide Manufacturing.

The trio spoke about trends in summer travels as the U.S. meets new highs in travel demand and how these will impact safety expectations for brick-and-mortar locations. Overall, travel demand has increased for the summer, which is good news for the travel industry.

As the European Union recommends the return of non-essential travel for U.S. passengers to boost their economy, the U.S. itself is seeing travel numbers similar to 2019, which was an excellent year for travel.

We recently crossed 2 million passengers crossing check-in thresholds in a single day, the TSA reported. Venues across the country are also seeing high traffic again, which also impacts the hospitality industry, but safety expectations have changed due to COVID.

“Whether it’s travel or hotels, consumers are really looking for safety protocols,” Walling said. “They want to see it in the policy and in the practice. They want to see evidence of it. The brands I think are going to do well and manage the influx of travel again are the ones prepared to handle that.”

However, not everything is so peachy in the travel industry, as the world-shaking effect of COVID-19 lingers on with new variants. These could potentially lead to more restrictions on travelers and even more expectations for health and well-being.

Zocdoc's first acquisition in nearly 20 years is an insurance checker

Zocdoc's first acquisition in nearly 20 years is an insurance checker

Zocdoc has bought Sohar Health, its first acquisition in nearly 20 years. Sohar's software finds and verifies a patient's insurance coverage from a name and birth date. Zocdoc wants that check to work across its Care Access Network, which lets insurers, consumer apps and AI tools embed Zocdoc's clinician search and scheduling on their own websites and apps.

  • 01After nearly 20 years without an acquisition, Zocdoc's first purchase is the insurance check that sits between a patient's search and a booked appointment.
  • 02For practices that pay Zocdoc per booking, the sharper question is how often coverage verified at booking matches what the front desk confirms at check-in.

The physical exam splits into parts, and each goes remote at its own pace

The physical exam splits into parts, and each goes remote at its own pace

One weak link in virtual physical exams is patient technique, since home readings depend on how patients take them.

  • 01Charting what a patient could not do for lack of home equipment is part of the exam record, and federal telehealth guidance ties that documentation to coding and billing.
  • 02Remote exams fit best where home data already accumulates: a week of home blood pressure readings or continuous glucose data shows what a single office reading cannot.

Healthcare staff judge leadership values by decisions, not statements

Healthcare leaders are judged by their actions and accessibility, not their stated values. Dr. David Schreiner argues that a leader’s legacy rests mostly on how people experienced working for them, while still recognizing financial performance matters. He also urges clearer priorities, visible leadership presence, and stronger succession planning.

  • 01Healthcare employees assess leadership values primarily through decisions made rather than statements.
  • 02Trust in leadership is gained when there is alignment between stated values and actual organizational decisions.
