BLOG – Based on Images from the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA suggests we’re beginning a new era in astrophysics and space exploration. Data arrives daily from the telescope located 1.5 million kilometers from earth. Within hours, scientists are analyzing this data, crafting and interpreting images, developing hypotheses, and publishing research. What will come in the decade ahead as JWST provides countless insights into our universe? In parallel, consider the abundant advances we’ve made in digital health in the past decade. Innovation is indeed alive and well – and offers promise to advance health equity, improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

BLOG – “To make the most of contracts with interpreter services, executive leaders should choose a company that offers enough skilled translators for their primary languages of need. These interpreters should provide video and/or audio services as well as the ability to translate written documents. Meanwhile, all clinical care providers and administrative staff should be equipped with tablets and/or smartphones to use for video and audio calling at the point of care.”
