A Forbes contributor article called “Precision Cancer Trials Are Booming Despite Skeptics Who Doubt Their Value” referenced a newsroom article by The American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC)^® covering the American Society of Hematology’s Annual Meeting. Written by Surabhi Dangi-Garimella, PhD, the AJMC^® coverage discussed 2 innovative clinical trials developed by “Beat Acute Myeloid Leukemia and the National Cancer Institute-Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice, which incorporate genomic profiling to assign patients to different treatment arms.”

A study in AJMC^®’s Health Information Technology (IT) special issue was covered by Health IT Analytics. The AJMC® research, “Building Health IT Capacity to Improve HIV Infection Health Outcomes,” explained how the Massachusetts Virtual Epidemiologic Network project integrates patient data from across the HIV care continuum.

Researchers studied the impact of virtual health coach technology and published their findings in a recent article from The American Journal of Accountable Care^® article titled “Can a Virtual Coach Activate Patients? A Proof of Concept Study.” Those findings were summarized in a Patient Engagement HIT, which discussed how the virtual coach could help boost patient engagement and facilitate patient-provider discussions.
