Cúram Action View module for caseworkers now generally available. Merative announced on June 25 that Cúram Action View, a new module designed to help health and human services caseworkers, is now generally available. The company said the tool aims to help agencies address increasing caseloads and rising expectations by improving efficiency in workflows. Cúram Action View consolidates key information such as active benefits, recent notes, household composition, application status, and pending actions into one connected view. Merative said this reduces time spent searching for information and helps ensure decisions are informed and consistent. According to the company, the module allows caseworkers to act without leaving the page - updating details, resolving verification issues, recording notes, or progressing other work directly from the main interface. The company reported productivity gains of up to 80 percent across major workflows with Cúram Action View. The tool is also built to support future AI-enabled casework functions, including assistive knowledge, contextual insights, decision support, and agentic artificial intelligence. Merative stated that Cúram Action View was developed in partnership with more than 35 caseworkers and supervisors across five agencies through sponsor user and early adopter programs. Caseworker feedback shaped the design of the solution. Users described it as a "game changer," saying "seeing the status instead of reading is huge" and "saves tons of time." One participant said, "I would use this on every call, it would be my starting point." The company said Cúram Action View empowers caseworkers to start with context, act confidently, and complete work faster while providing more consistent support for those who depend on them.

FinThrive has joined as a partner, providing de-identified hospital chargemaster data alongside existing electronic health records collaborators. The ecosystem allows clients to extend MarketScan's closed-claims foundation with ambulatory and specialty data, inpatient details, laboratory results and patient-level data from non-traditional care settings. MarketScan has informed over 4,500 peer-reviewed publications and sources data from more than 350 large employers, health plans and Medicaid agencies. The partnership enables device manufacturers and researchers to track patient journeys, treatment effectiveness and costs across the care continuum whilst maintaining data quality and analytic integrity.

Merge PACS outlines eight key user requirements for reliable imaging workflows. Apr 26, 2026 Merge announced on Apr. 16 that its Merge PACS platform addresses eight main user requirements to support reliable and efficient imaging workflows in healthcare organizations. The announcement comes as many healthcare providers face challenges related to adopting artificial intelligence, modernizing their technology infrastructure, improving clinical usability, and maintaining data security at scale. Merge PACS is designed to help both clinical and technical teams meet these needs while ensuring consistent delivery of patient care. The company highlighted that Merge PACS is "AI ready," allowing integration with various AI vendors such as Aidoc. The system displays AI results directly in the worklist and viewer, enabling physicians to access findings without navigating multiple systems. For breast imaging, Merge PACS supports structured AI content from several vendors including Volpara, Therapixel, Hologic, and iCAD. The platform emphasizes interoperability by accommodating both standard outputs and vendor-specific differences. Regarding deployment options, Merge PACS supports full cloud-based setups as well as hybrid models so organizations can transition at their own pace while preserving existing investments. Performance remains a focus; each software release undergoes validation against benchmarks to ensure study retrieval speed meets expectations across different environments. Usability enhancements have been implemented based on customer feedback. These include dynamic worklist refreshes and expanded region-of-interest tools aimed at reducing friction during interpretation. Customization features allow departments to tailor workflows for specific subspecialties or service lines through configurable worklists and batch processing capabilities. Data integrity is addressed by supporting centralized image lifecycle management when integrated with solutions like Merge VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive). This approach helps reduce inconsistencies during transitions from standalone systems to enterprise-wide deployments. Additional features are available for mammography and tomosynthesis support within breast imaging workflows. Security remains a foundational element of the platform; regular updates align with evolving standards and protect patient data while ensuring compliance with broader IT strategies. According to the company statement: "Keeping up to date with each new Merge PACS release reduces risk and supports resilience for our customers." The ongoing maintenance allows faster adoption of new clinical capabilities without disruptive overhauls. Merge stated it is committed to customer-driven innovation: "One of our guiding principles is helping organizations standardize where it matters while preserving flexibility where it counts." The company encourages teams planning cloud or hybrid migrations or evaluating AI enablement initiatives to reach out for further information.
