In continued recognition of American Heart Month, our Medical Director of Cardiovascular Strategy, ALISTAIR FYFE, MD, PhD, MBA, shares his thoughts on the importance of personalized care for you and your heart. ♥️ 🩺

In a new article for Healthcare Business Today, Susan Bennett, MD, FACC, Cohere Health's Cardiology Medical Director, shares how AI-driven prior authorization solutions can serve as a springboard for transforming how we treat and manage cardiovascular care. 🫀 💬 "A key challenge in cardiovascular care is navigating complex and often chronic conditions. Fragmented coordination can lead to delays in care, unnecessary and/or excessive testing, and poor adherence to care plans. Health plans, in turn, also struggle to balance costs and benefits... making it difficult to manage chronic conditions effectively. However, advancements in intelligent prior authorization and cardiology care offer a path to overcoming these obstacles." American Heart Month serves as an important reminder of how critical both prevention and innovation are in tackling the increasing costs and challenges associated with cardiovascular disease.
