Empower care teams with insights they can act on — not chase. Particle's Signal provides the coverage and context care teams need for actionability, turning alerts into improved health outcomes. Read the final article in our series by Sarah Metz Krissoff NP to understand how Signal transforms transitions of care from fragmented and reactive to connected and proactive.

We are thrilled to be listed as one of TIME's Top HealthTech Companies— even though we're a better fit in the AI and Data Analytics category! If you want to learn more about what we do, we'll be at HLTH. Drop us a note and let's chat! https://lnkd.in/geZfre8A

Alerts are easy. Actionable insights are hard. ADTs helped care teams take the first step but today’s transitions of care demand more. In the second article of our series, Sarah Metz Krissoff NP, explains where ADTs fall short and how more complete, contextual and actionable insights can improve patient care.

Transitions of care are pivotal moments in the patient journey, yet care teams often rely on data that is incomplete or fragmented. In the first article of our series, Transitions of Care — From Vulnerabilities to Value Drivers, we explore why these moments matter, where gaps commonly occur, and the benefits that can be achieved when transitions are optimized.

Very pleased at the outcome that came out last night in our anti-trust case against Epic. While a few of the claims didn't survive, Epic's motion to dismiss was DENIED on all 3 of the core monopolization antitrust claims. This is the first time in Epic's history that an antitrust case against them has gotten to this point. It's the next step to a bigger victory for better patient care and more patient control of their medical info. On to discovery!

Today’s announcement by Secretary Kennedy of a ‘crackdown’ on health data blocking suggests the issue is being taken seriously, and there will finally be consequences for those who engage in this practice. Stepped up enforcement on information blocking is long overdue. Without real oversight — and real consequences — there is no incentive for anyone to do better. We know information blocking isn’t a technical glitch. It’s a deliberate tactic by large health IT entities that creates information monopolies and harms patients. Without robust enforcement of the rules on the books, innovation will be stifled and patients and providers will pay the price. We welcome the announcement today and hope it means that HHS is taking this seriously. Learn more about information blocking: https://lnkd.in/eq-hYbBW

At Particle, we’re all about the seamless, secure exchange of health information. That’s why we’ve joined 60+ companies — including 20 other health data interoperability networks — in pledging our support for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Digital Health Ecosystem and Interoperability Framework. Links in comments to see our announcement article, the full story from POLITICO, and just a few reasons we’re well positioned to promote this critical framework, including: 🟡  Our extensive history of anti-info-blocking efforts
 🟡  Established connections with national HIEs
 🟡  Advanced data analysis capabilities
 🟡  And more

Today, I attended the "Make Health Technology Great Again" event to support meaningful action in healthcare data sharing. Along with my colleagues at Particle Health, we champion CMS's initiative to create a patient-centric digital health ecosystem through their new Interoperability Framework and we're happy to be selected for and commit to the Network Pledge. While signing pledges is symbolic, what matters most is real-world implementation. As Particle demonstrated through our legal challenge to industry monopolization, we believe healthcare data must be accessible and affordable to all. Over 60 companies committed today to deliver results by Q1 2026. CareQuality and many representatives from their steering committee (Seth Selkow, Alan Swenson ,Deven McGraw, Eric Rel Glenn Raley Buitendijk Hans Jay Nakashima,, A. John Blair, III, MD, Matt Becker, Paul Wilder) were in attendance today. This group has the capability to take action. A simple change of the CQ rules from “should” to “must” on individual access would immediately accomplish many of the goals CMS set today. My simple question is – what else do we need to make these changes? Amy Gleason and Arda Kara. Thank you for hosting us!
