Funding and M&A Moves Pearl Health lands $110M to expand AI platform for Medicare providers Ascension plans to acquire independent system Williamson Health for nearly $1B 🤖 AI in Action Use Case of the Week:  In-house AI Product Development for Health System Workflow Optimization   Health System:  Mercy     Commercial AI tools often fail to fit health systems' unique workflows, limiting adoption and value. Mercy addresses this by using a product-design approach to build AI solutions around specific organizational challenges rather than the technology itself. The health system identifies workflow bottlenecks, co-designs AI tools with clinician and patient feedback, and integrates them into existing processes. This results in higher clinician adoption, better workflow alignment, reduced reliance on generic vendor solutions, and a scalable framework for developing future AI applications.  📊 Industry Spotlight The real future of work in healthcare When Developing an AI Strategy, Beware the Urgency Trap 🧠 Thought Leadership Innovation Isn’t About Buying More Technology; It’s About Solving the Right Problems First.
