Why It Matters

• AI governance is maturing: Qualifacts’ ISO 42001 certification sets a benchmark—expect regulators, partners, and boards to demand the same rigor from your vendors.
• Consolidation is gaining favor: Java’s expanded partnership shows health systems still prefer bundled EHR + financial services, but CIOs must ensure integrations deliver and not create fragility.
• Clinical trials are pulling EHRs in: IgniteData highlights how operational data and research workflows are converging—organizations with research arms need to plan for deep interoperability.
• Interoperability remains the unglamorous backbone: Quest–Epic collaboration tackles one of the most persistent pain points: reliable lab data integration. CIOs should prioritize vendor accountability here.
• Clinician AI adoption is real, but carries risk: Elation’s quick uptake shows appetite for AI support tools, but CIOs must validate accuracy, safety, and auditability before scaling.
