How Could Digital Technology Make An Impact On Primary Care?
I truly hope that very soon I do not have to make an appointment at the GP when I suspect signs of a disease, but my GP will send me a message that she spotted something irregular in my latest test results and my digital health data, so I’d better visit.

Announcements, Insights, and Perspectives from the Oracle Health Conference
One of the nice things about living in Las Vegas is that almost all the health IT conferences come to Las Vegas.  Sadly, that wasn’t actually true for the Cerner user conference which was held in Kansas City.  However, now that Oracle bought Cerner, the Oracle Health conference is now co-located with Oracle World and is being held in Las Vegas. Of course, there are also downsides to conferences being in Las Vegas where family considerations pull me away from the event.  For example, I missed Larry Ellison’s keynote, but Kristian Feterik did a nice job capturing at least part of Ellison’s vision for Ora...

A Prescription-Strength Formula for Stronger Cybersecurity in Healthcare Organizations
The following is a guest article by Steven Stone, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs at Rubrik In early August, a ransomware attack disrupted operations across its network of 17 hospitals and more than 165 clinics in four states and forced some to rely on paper records.
