Rhode Island's new AI scribe law is billed as an 'opt-out' mandate, but the statute requires only that providers notify patients and review the AI's notes for accuracy — no opt-out, consent, or penalty in the text.
The conventional read on the PowerScribe 360 sunset was that big health systems would default to PowerScribe One. Yale New Haven moved its radiology reporting to Rad AI instead — and the demand data suggests it isn't alone.
Five users couldn't reliably hear callers on their softphones, and a day and a half of conventional troubleshooting pinned it to their PCs without explaining it. I pointed Claude Code at a broken machine and a working one. Fifteen minutes later it had the root cause, the fix, and two bonus findings.
Two days into the Fable 5 window, a binary export of blank mammography templates tripped Anthropic's new safety classifiers — cybersecurity and biology at once. Then writing this post tripped them again. Both times, the quiet handoff to Opus 4.8 worked exactly as advertised.
Cortechs.ai and Microsoft will route NeuroQuant and OnQ Prostate results straight into the PowerScribe One report. For radiologists, the real win is ARIA surveillance and prostate RSI findings that land in the report instead of being dictated off a second screen.
A browser-based PACS I've followed for a few years just signed the kind of customer that tests the whole cloud-native premise: Everlight Radiology is putting 800 reading radiologists across six countries on Sirona Medical's RadOS platform.
OCR's May 2026 target for finalizing the HIPAA Security Rule update is on track to slip — but the agency is enforcing the existing rule aggressively. Here's where the proposed rule stands, what OCR is actually doing today, and what healthcare organizations need to have in place either way.
Epic added 77 hospitals and Oracle Health lost 56 in the new KLAS report — but the more telling number is the 40 percent drop in hospitals making any EHR decision at all. KLAS attributes the freeze to policy uncertainty and a strategic pivot to AI.
The FDA shipped Elsa 4.0 on May 6 alongside HALO, a platform that consolidates more than 40 separate FDA application and submission systems into one. The capabilities are real and the architecture is defensible. The hallucination track record from Elsa 1.0 is still on the public record.
A new Medscape physician survey puts radiology at the top of specialties optimistic about the next three years and at 18th place when the horizon stretches out. The 27-point drop is one of the largest in the dataset, and the most interesting finding in the report.
