Steward Demands Millions from Former Mass. Hospitals to Maintain Crucial Tech Services

The Boston Globe

A potential healthcare crisis is looming as Steward threatens to discontinue critical technology services, including medical record and billing systems, to its former Massachusetts hospitals unless it receives millions in payment. This move could lead to significant disruptions, compromising patient care and potentially forcing some hospitals to close their doors. The hospitals are facing a daunting challenge to find alternative solutions, highlighting the importance of reliable healthcare technology and medical billing services. With the healthcare industry relying on digital systems, the impact of such a disruption could be severe. Key services like electronic health records and revenue cycle management are at risk.
