Description

The global healthcare IT and digital health investment landscape is entering a new maturity curve, shaped by AI-driven operational transformation, consolidation, and platform-centric models. Funding is rebounding selectively, with capital concentrating in enterprise infrastructure, provider operations, and hybrid virtual care ecosystems. Administrative AI and provider operations have emerged as the central axis of digital health investment. Healthcare has long suffered from administrative burden, inefficiency, and burnout, and clinicians often report spending as much or more time on paperwork compared to patient care. Administrative AI has the potential to shift much of that burden away, restoring clinicians' focus to patient care and reducing overhead for providers. This can improve provider satisfaction, reduce turnover, and enhance care quality. Telehealth and alternative care have moved from explosive, hype-driven growth to a normalized, structurally embedded component of care delivery. Telehealth is evolving from a commodity video-visit into vertical, integrated service lines with strong payer/employer ties and data-rich care pathways. Funding has become more selective, rewarding those who can prove repeatable revenue and clinical differentiation.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
