The Celiac Care Gap Begins After Diagnosis
Portable gluten detection tools are not a substitute for standard care. Used carefully, they may help clinicians support patients when hidden gluten exposure remains a problem.

Access to AI-powered digital MSK care options reduces wait times and allows patients to move directly into the right care instead of stair-stepping from hospital inpatient to primary care physicians to physical therapy.
When used thoughtfully, with attention to muscle preservation and long-term sustainability, medical weight loss can lower complication rates, support a steadier recovery and reduce downstream strain on both patients and health systems.
A fragmented system built on isolated metrics like BMI and A1C fails to capture the full picture of metabolic health and limits our ability to manage it effectively.
Providing access to GLP-1s only solves part of the problem. In fact, without a broader approach, it may lead to new challenges alongside the ones it aims to address.
To truly drive safety at scale, healthcare organizations will have to look beyond just adverse events and better leverage insights from one of the most valuable, but often underutilized, sources of safety data: near misses.
Veradigm examines key clinical trends, comorbidity profiles, and treatment trends across adolescence, reproductive years, and peri-/post-menopause. Download it today!
The first truly scalable and transformative use of AI in medical imaging may not be autonomous diagnosis. Instead, it may be the creation of a "translation layer" designed to help patients actually understand the complex information they are already receiving.
The assumption is intuitive and well-intentioned: if patients simply understood the system better, they would use it more effectively. However, for most Medicare patients, that assumption is wrong. The barrier to care isn't knowledge, it's execution.
Engagement still matters. But the more important question is whether the intervention respects the human nervous system of the person on the receiving end.
The takeaway from the current failure of wearables is that signal without synthesis doesn't change outcomes. If healthcare treats AI as just another way to collect or repackage data, it will repeat the same mistake.
Enterprise EHR boosts scalability, interoperability, and governance for large healthcare systems.
When coordinators are buried in documentation, scheduling, and data reconciliation, patient engagement is the first thing to go. And when engagement drops, retention drops with it.
AI genuinely could reduce barriers, by making health information more conversational, more personalized, and easier to act on. But that only happens if the people building these tools decide, from day one, that accessibility isn’t optional.
A newly diagnosed person experiences healthcare as a complicated maze of physicians, specialists, pharmacies, insurers, deductibles, formularies, prior authorizations, benefit explanations and coverage rules that rarely speak to one another and often contradict each other. Better AI can help.
When awareness is timely, aligned, and delivered through trusted channels, such as EHR systems or digital media, it strengthens every step of the patient journey, especially understanding potential options such as ground-breaking clinical trials or targeted diagnostic testing.
If we focus only on placement, we will continue to see cycles of progress and regression. If we focus on stability — on what happens after the keys are handed over — we have an opportunity to change those trajectories more permanently.
