Game-Changer for Lymphoma Treatment!

Big news for mantle cell lymphoma patients: the EU just approved a new combo therapy with acalabrutinib, bendamustine, and rituximab as a first-line treatment! This means older patients who can’t get stem cell transplants now have a shot at better outcomes—16+ months longer progression-free survival compared to standard chemo. The trial showed higher response rates too. It’s not a cure, but it’s a much-needed win for a tough cancer. Science for the win! #Lymphoma #CancerResearch #MedicalBreakthrough #HealthcareNews #Health

Epic’s EHR Takeover Is Wild

Epic is absolutely dominating the hospital EHR game right now—snagging nearly 70% of all new hospital deals in 2024, including some huge health systems. Their secret? Actually listening to customers and making changes they ask for. Meanwhile, Oracle Health is struggling to keep clients happy post-acquisition, and Meditech is holding onto its OG users by upgrading them to its Expanse platform. Smaller players? Pretty quiet this year. The EHR world is basically Epic’s playground at this point! #EpicEHR #HealthIT #HospitalTech #EHR #HealthcareNews #Health

FDA Calls Out ICU Medical Over Pump Fixes

ICU Medical just got a major FDA warning for tweaking their infusion pumps without getting the green light first. Turns out, they made changes to fix some serious issues—like false alarms and therapy interruptions—but skipped the required paperwork. The FDA says those updates could impact patient safety, and ICU Medical’s own rules say they should’ve filed for clearance. This isn’t the first time a med device company’s been caught skipping steps, either. Wild how often this happens! #MedicalDevices #FDA #HealthcareNews #PatientSafety #InfusionPumps #Health

Which Hospitals Are Crushing Safety Grades?

Leapfrog just dropped its Spring 2025 hospital safety grades, and some hospitals are seriously stepping up! 346 hospitals scored “Straight A’s” for five report cards in a row, and 11 have been perfect for all 27 rounds. Infection rates are dropping, but there’s still a big gap in patient experience—especially when it comes to staff communication. Fun fact: both big-name and small-town hospitals are nailing it, proving you don’t need deep pockets for top-notch safety. Would you check a hospital’s grade before a procedure? #HospitalSafety #LeapfrogGrades #PatientCare #HealthcareNews #Health
