Though the healthcare industry faces legislative uncertainty, it continues to adapt to increasing consumer demands (out of necessity). Healthcare IT innovation has been instrumental to increasing patient access, making health information more easily shareable, and improving the overall quality of care.

We work with many innovative companies in the healthcare IT space, and therefore, are intimately familiar with the journalists who cover the industry. Below is our list of the top healthcare IT reporters that we believe have their finger on the pulse of technology’s role in transforming healthcare:
