Digital Health, Data Blocking, and (Of Course) Covid: 2020’s Most Viewed Posts

It’s been an interesting year, to say the least.

And although the Covid-19 pandemic — and everything that came along with it, from ramping up telemedicine to dealing with added financial burdens — certainly seemed to dominate the headlines, for our readers and listeners, it was just one of many topics of interest.

Not surprisingly, digital transformation garnered a lot of page views, along with interoperability/data blocking, career development, cybersecurity, and strategic planning. If you haven’t had a chance to view our most popular posts from 2020 (or if you could use a refresher), we’ve compiled them below.

Thank you, as always, for your support!
