Today, innovation is ingrained in the bloodstream of the healthcare industry. New digital health solutions, cybersecurity strategies and policies coming out of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) prove that the industry shows no signs of quieting down.
We work with innovative companies in health IT who are leading this disruption, so we closely follow journalists covering the industry. In 2017, we put together a list of the top health IT reporters with a finger on the pulse of healthcare innovation, but much has changed in the healthcare industry since then and many new reporters have risen to the top of the field. Below is our updated list of the top health IT reporters covering the industry today:
