< + > Healthcare IT Over Under – Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 204

For the 204th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are making over/under bets on different healthcare IT topics! We have created a list of hot topics in healthcare IT, such as new health IT regulations, AI agent use, prior auth automation, etc., and assigned them a number or percentage. We then bet on whether we think what will happen will be over that number or if it will be under that number!

Here’s a preview of the topics we bet on in this episode:

  • Over/Under the number of new health IT regulations before the end of the year: 3
  • Over/Under the percentage of healthcare organizations that will have an AI agent in production by the end of 2026: 50%
  • Over/Under the percentage of health systems that will seriously consider replacing their EHR in the next five years: 25%
  • Over/Under the percentage of patients who will use AI to help them decide where/how to get care in 2026: 77%
  • Over/Under the percentage of healthcare data that will still be effectively inaccessible or difficult to use because of interoperability/data-quality issues at the end of 2026: 30%
  • Over/Under the percentage of prior auth that will be substantially automated by the end of 2027:  63%
  • Over/Under the number of people who will be at the HLTH conference: 12,000
  • Over/Under the number of videos Healthcare IT Today will do in the Fall: 175
