Holiday season = twinkling lights, big feasts… and surprisingly documentable patient encounters.

MEDHOST’s latest blog highlights 12 ICD-10 codes inspired by holiday-time mishaps — from falls on ice and decorating-related injuries to heartburn after that third helping of pie. These codes are not just fun curiosities — they reflect real conditions clinicians see and document every year.

Whether you’re a coder, clinician, or health IT pro, it’s a festive reminder that detailed documentation still matters — even when care gets a little seasonal.

What if the fastest way to reduce clinician turnover isn’t hiring — but fixing the EHR?

For many clinicians, daily frustration with inefficient workflows and documentation is pushing them toward the door. The good news? Organizations that invest in improving the EHR experience are seeing real impact on retention.

The EHR is no longer just a system of record — it’s a workforce experience.

👉 Read why this matters now:

As hospitals face mounting financial and workforce pressures, improvements to the EHR experience represent one of the most direct and effective ways to reduce turnover.

🚨 Telehealth is coming into sharper focus for 2026.

The new 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule from CMS brings permanent updates that could expand telehealth’s reach across hospitals, clinics, and rural providers: increased facility-site fees, virtual direct-supervision approved, and the removal of follow-up-visit frequency caps.

If your organization provides or depends on virtual care—especially in underserved or rural areas—this is a critical moment to revisit your telehealth strategy, billing workflows, and compliance readiness.

Your commitment, expertise, and compassion make a profound impact on the well-being of individuals and communities. Every day, you give your best to improve lives and ensure quality care.

Our team spent the morning volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank on November 13, 2025, and it was a great experience all around. This was our third year partnering with Second Harvest, and it’s something we look forward to every year.

The Cold Sort shift lived up to its name, but our group powered through. Eleven team members helped sort 14,000 pounds of food, which will provide roughly 3,000 meals for families in our community. We also helped keep day-to-day operations moving so Second Harvest can continue the important work they do.

More than anything, the day brought a sense of teamwork and purpose. It felt good to step away from our desks and do something that makes a real difference.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered. Your time and effort matter, and so do the people we were able to help.

That’s a wrap on OHA Connect 2025!

On National Rural Health Day, we recognize the providers who deliver essential care to more than 60 million Americans in remote and underserved communities.

Rural healthcare teams go the distance every day. More than a quarter of rural residents travel over 30 miles for basic care, and providers continue to bridge those gaps despite limited resources, staffing challenges, and growing operational demands.

With more than 180 rural hospitals closing since 2005, the dedication of those still serving their communities matters now more than ever.

At MEDHOST, we are proud to support rural hospitals with solutions that simplify workflows, strengthen clinical operations, and help keep care accessible where it is needed most.

To every rural caregiver and facility: thank you for the work you do today and every day.

The holiday season brings a predictable spike in Emergency Department volume — and for many hospitals, that means added pressure on teams already stretched thin.

Thoughtful preparation now can make all the difference when patient volume peaks.
