Hammer shares why health systems are rapidly consolidating their migration partners to a single vendor. He also reveals how to turn static archive data into an active asset for artificial intelligence and research while staying compliant with information blocking rules. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
