Planning for Data Migration Success: UCSF’s Journey and AI’s Role for the Future

When UCSF Health’s enterprise imaging team needed to bring two new Dignity Health hospitals into their network, a new data migration project was born. Even after many migrations over many years, there are always new ways to innovate, so say Director of Enterprise Imaging Neil Singh and Enterprise Imaging Architect Roman Bitner-Glindzicz. Join us to walk through those innovations, starting with data prep and accessibility, how to save time, prioritizing respect among your team and how AI could improve the migration process.

Complications after intravascular lithotripsy are rare, real-world data confirm

The use of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still safe and effective when patients present with calcified nodules (CNs), according to new long-term data published in EuroIntervention.[1] Researchers compared outcomes from patients with and without CNs, highlighting key similarities in stent expansion and luminal gain.

Shockwave Medical, now a part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, has consistently been found safe for patients. However, many previous clinical trials excluded high-risk patients, making it important to track real-world outcomes as time goes on.
