| Today's News and Trends | Editor's Note: Starting in December, our sister publication AI in Healthcare will be merged into HealthExec, with Editor Dave Pearson and myself now working under a united banner. Why would we do this? It’s simple: Because it allows us to do more. We’re bringing together our audiences and editorial teams to focus more on data-driven healthcare, AI, digital health, LLMs and machine learning—all key topics for healthcare leaders living on the pulse of innovation, operations, economics and improving outcomes. Internally, nothing on our end is changing—the great reporters working here at Innovate Healthcare will remain the same, and we all work closely together each and every day. But for the readers, consolidating our brands will improve the overall depth of our coverage, so we can ensure you’re informed as you make the decisions that impact the health and lives of all Americans. We’ll continue to cover everything from policy and business news, to the latest digital health initiatives that are reshaping the way healthcare is delivered in an increasingly data-driven world. Thanks for being a reader. We take pride in our work, and it’ll be a pleasure to bring you an enhanced version of it. -Chad Van Alstin, Editor  Editor's Note: Starting in December, our sister publication AI in Healthcare will be merged into HealthExec, with Editor Dave Pearson and myself now working under a united banner.Why would we do this?
