Today, HRSA announced the approval of 10 drug companies to participate in the 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program beginning Jan. 1, 2027. The approved companies are AbbVie, Amgen, Astellas Pharma US, AstraZeneca, Bristol Meyers Squibb, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Pfizer and Teva Pharmaceuticals. “The AHA remains deeply concerned that HHS has chosen to move forward with a 340B Rebate Model Pilot Program despite the overwhelming evidence that it will impose massive new administrative and financial burdens on hospitals that serve America’s most vulnerable patients,” an AHA spokesperson said. https://lnkd.in/e2Uk8DYY #AHAToday

Where's the real value of AI in healthcare? Last week I moderated a panel on just this issue at the Newsweek + Investment Reports AI Health Summit, and the perspectives from hospital and health system leaders made one thing clear: hospitals are uniquely positioned to help lead this shift. Every day, health systems manage millions of data points, from patient records to lab results. Having AI tools assist clinicians in providing high-quality, timely care could be a game changer. As we discuss AI-enabled technologies across healthcare, I'm eager to learn more from leaders across the field. What do you see driving AI investment in healthcare right now?
