Ask any practicing cardiologist about their daily reading workflow, and they will likely describe a race against the clock. Diagnostic imaging volumes continue to surge, case complexity is rising, and reading physicians are routinely asked to interpret dozens of multi-modality studies each day. Yet, the tools used to review these images have largely failed to keep pace with the cognitive demands of modern cardiology. Traditional image viewers display imaging studies in the e

Healthcare leadership has spent the last decade pursuing a noble goal: enterprise standardization. The drive to centralize Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and unify medical imaging into enterprise Vendor Neutral Archives (VNAs) or universal PACS has streamlined IT infrastructure, simplified procurement, and established broad operational baselines across hospitals. Yet, as healthcare leaders look closely at their service lines, a quiet friction persists in one of their larges

You tell us what you want to understand. Then let’s find the answers. Congenital cardiology is complicated. Patients don't simply have diagnoses. They have journeys. A patient may enter a congenital cardiology program with one diagnosis, but that diagnosis is only the beginning of the story. Over time, that patient may undergo procedures, imaging studies, interventions, and changes in physiology. New clinical considerations emerge. Complications may develop. The patient's nee

Healthcare leaders are hearing a familiar promise: AI will improve efficiency, reduce burden, and accelerate decision-making. However, across health systems, there’s a growing disconnect between expectation and reality. Many organizations are investing in AI and seeing only modest returns. The reason is simple: most are applying AI to systems that were never designed for it. As highlighted in a recent article in Harvard Business Review, early factories made a similar mistake
