  • Traverse City executive Steve Valdiserri outlines the operational trends he sees accelerating across revenue cycle management, AI adoption, and value-based care performance in 2026 and beyond.

Healthcare Finance Is Changing Faster Than Most Organizations Are Ready For

Michigan, USA, 24th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — The back end of healthcare finance has historically been defined by manual processes, siloed data systems, and reporting volumes that require significant staff time to produce and interpret. Steve Valdiserri, SVP of Operations at Tally and Accurio and Founding Partner of Avanti Strategy Group, has spent the past year working at the intersection of these systems and the AI tools designed to replace or augment them. He identifies three shifts that healthcare executives and operators should be tracking closely.

Shift One: AI Adoption Is Moving from Strategy to Operationalization

The question in healthcare AI has shifted. Organizations are no longer asking whether AI belongs in revenue cycle or financial reporting. They are asking how to operationalize it within existing workflows and regulatory constraints. Valdiserri sees this as meaningful progress, though he notes that the distance between adopting a tool and realizing its financial benefit remains significant for most organizations. The gap is typically operational, not technological.

At Tally, where he leads operations, the focus is on building the infrastructure that allows AI automation to produce consistent results for organizations managing insurance verification, claims submission, AR follow-up, and financial reporting. The tool is only as effective as the operational environment it runs in.

Shift Two: Attribution Is Becoming a Recognized Strategic Priority in Value-Based Care

For years in value-based care, attribution management was treated as a technical function handled by data teams with limited connection to executive strategy or operations. Valdiserri has argued consistently that this framing understates its importance. The patient panel determines the performance baseline for every value-based care program. If attribution is broken, the downstream investment in care management, quality programs, and payer engagement produces less return than it should.

He notes a growing recognition among VBC leaders that attribution deserves a dedicated operational strategy, including systematic payer engagement and ongoing panel validation. The organizations beginning to treat it that way are seeing earlier identification of performance gaps and more accurate financial projections from their risk-based contracts.

Shift Three: Healthcare Finance Metrics Are Being Simplified, Not Expanded

Counter to the general trend toward more reporting, Valdiserri sees leading healthcare finance teams moving toward fewer, higher-quality metrics. The volume of data available to healthcare organizations has grown faster than the capacity to interpret it strategically. His view, developed across a decade of VBC operations and now applied in revenue cycle contexts, is that most organizations need a small number of metrics that describe financial health clearly rather than a comprehensive dashboard that requires significant analysis time to interpret.

For revenue cycle, his working framework focuses on AR days, write-off rate, and gross charge distribution as core indicators. Other metrics matter, but these three describe the financial condition of the business in terms that allow for direct operational response.

What These Shifts Mean for Healthcare Operators

Each of these shifts rewards organizations that prioritize operational discipline over technology adoption speed. AI tools deliver better results in organizations that have already clarified their processes. Attribution strategy produces better financial outcomes when it is connected to executive decision-making rather than siloed in analytics. Simplified metrics work when an organization has already done the harder work of understanding which numbers actually drive performance.

Valdiserri’s current work across Tally, Accurio, and Avanti Strategy Group reflects a consistent thesis: the organizations that will benefit most from the changes underway in healthcare finance are the ones that invest first in the operational foundations that make those changes productive.

  • New York education and nonprofit leader Brodrick Spencer shares a practical framework for creating programs and institutions that serve communities long after their founders step away.

A Record Built on What Stays

New York, USA, 24th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — After nearly three decades working in classrooms, school buildings, and nonprofit operations, Brodrick Spencer has arrived at a clear standard for measuring professional impact. The programs and institutions a leader builds should continue functioning long after that leader has moved on. That idea, simple to state and difficult to execute, has guided his entire career.

Spencer currently serves as Southern California Director of Operations for the William Law Foundation, overseeing afterschool programs and childcare centers across Southern California. Before that, he spent thirteen years as a secondary principal in New York State and eight years as an assistant principal, leading schools in some of the state’s most challenging environments.

Seven Personal Commitments for Building Systems That Last

Spencer has distilled his approach to organizational sustainability into a set of personal commitments he applies consistently across every role:

  • Listen and observe before acting. Any system worth changing must first be understood.

  • Involve stakeholders in decision-making from the start. People support what they help to build.

  • Hold yourself accountable first. Accountability without self-application is not leadership.

  • Sequence change deliberately. Trying to fix everything at once overwhelms organizations and slows real progress.

  • Invest in developing people around you. Systems run on human capital. That capital must be built.

  • Use data honestly. Before-and-after metrics matter more than effort metrics.

  • Measure success by what continues without you. If the work stops when you leave, the work was never finished.

Why Systems Matter More Than Individuals

Spencer points to the instability many educational institutions face when leadership transitions occur. Programs collapse. Partnerships dissolve. Progress stalls. His view is that this is a structural problem, not simply a personnel one. Organizations that are built around individuals rather than systems are inherently fragile.

His response to that fragility has been practical. Develop assistant principals who can lead. Build partnerships with colleges and community organizations that survive staff changes. Create academic programs with enough institutional backing to continue through transitions.

Start with one commitment from the list above. Apply it consistently for 30 days. Then add another. The goal is not to change your entire organization immediately. The goal is to build practices that hold.

About Brodrick Spencer

Brodrick Spencer is the Southern California Director of Operations for the William Law Foundation, a nonprofit organization operating afterschool programs and childcare centers. He is a career educator with nearly three decades of experience in K-12 school leadership and nonprofit operations, based in New York. He holds a Master of Education from Howard University and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara. More information is available at brodrickspencer.com.

United States, 24th Mar 2026 – The Internal Revenue Service has increased the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) limit to $132,900 per qualifying taxpayer for the 2026 tax year, reflecting the latest round of inflation adjustments that affect Americans living and working abroad. According to Nationly, the location-tracking app for digital nomads and American expats, this change allows eligible U.S. citizens and resident aliens abroad to exclude more of their foreign salary, bonus and self-employment income from U.S. federal income tax when they qualify under the bona fide residence or physical presence tests. American taxpayers can access FEIE savings by filing Form 2555 with their annual return.

The 2026 FEIE cap of $132,900 marks an increase from the 2025 limit of $130,000, continuing the annual upward trend tied to inflation indexing for key international tax thresholds. Married couples who both independently qualify for the exclusion can shield up to $265,800 in combined foreign earned income for 2026, reducing exposure to double taxation for many globally mobile professionals, contractors and remote workers.

American expats and digital nomads can use the interactive FEIE savings calculator to estimate their FEIE savings under the 2026 limit and test scenarios such as changing foreign residency dates, switching filing status, or layering FEIE with housing exclusions. Nationly has updated resources on its website to allow taxpayers to plan savings under the new savings ceiling.

Nation.ly is the specialized location tracking app available on the App Store for iOS built for U.S. digital nomads and expatriates who need to track physical presence test (PPT) days and keep documentation ready for FEIE claims each year. The platform automatically logs border crossings, flags potential PPT issues before they become a problem, and generates Form 2555-ready data so users can more easily complete or coordinate preparation of their expat tax filings with a professional.

When fossil fuel prices climb, the financial case for solar becomes straightforward — but investors and lenders now expect models that also capture battery storage, hydrogen conversion, and the full range of scenarios that determine where a project genuinely stacks up.

Zurich, Switzerland, 24th Mar 2026 –  eFinancialModels, a global marketplace for professional financial model templates, is reporting growing demand for its solar energy financial model template library as rising fossil fuel prices sharpen the arithmetic behind solar investment. The platform is observing particular interest in templates that go beyond basic generation revenue — covering integrated battery storage, solar-to-hydrogen conversion, and financing scenarios that allow developers and investors to run the numbers across a full range of market conditions.

Description: A person sitting at a desk writing on papers

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

The arithmetic is direct. Utility-scale solar now produces electricity at a globally averaged levelized cost of around $43 per megawatt hour (IRENA, Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2024). Oil-fired generation tells a different story. Residual fuel oil — the petroleum product burned in oil-fired power stations — contains 6.287 million BTU per barrel (EIA, Appendix A, Table A1). At $100 per barrel, that works out to $15.91 per million BTU. Applied to the average tested heat rate of 10,331 BTU per kilowatt-hour that the U.S. Energy Information Administration recorded for petroleum-fired steam generators in 2024 (EIA, Electric Power Annual, Table 8.2), the fuel cost alone reaches $164 per megawatt hour — nearly four times the levelized cost of solar. That comparison needs no editorial commentary. For any industrial facility, remote operation, or utility still relying on oil or gas-fired generation, the financial case for solar does not require advocacy. It requires a model.

“The question developers and investors are asking is increasingly simple: at current and projected energy prices, where does solar make sense, where does adding a battery make sense, and where does producing hydrogen make sense? These aren’t difficult questions to answer — you just need a model that’s built to handle all of them in one place. When energy prices are high and expected to stay that way, the numbers tend to make the argument themselves.”

— Cyrill Haenni, Founder of eFinancialModels

Higher Oil Prices Make Solar Storage Easier to Justify

A solar park that generates electricity for sale or self-consumption becomes financially attractive more quickly as fossil fuel prices rise — but so does the case for adding storage or fuel conversion. Batteries and hydrogen electrolysis require additional capital; that investment is far easier to justify when the electricity being stored or converted has displaced fuel costing $100 per barrel or more. Conversely, when oil prices fall, the economics of storage must stand on their own merits, which is exactly why rigorous scenario modelling matters. The variables that determine whether a modern solar project stacks up — and under what energy price conditions — are:

  • PPA price and duration: Power purchase agreement terms define a solar project’s contracted revenue floor for its entire operating life. The interaction between PPA price, duration, and the prevailing market electricity rate determines when a project is bankable — and under which contract structures it is not.
  • Battery storage integration: Adding a battery to a solar installation enables electricity arbitrage between peak and off-peak periods, participation in capacity and grid services markets, and reduction of demand charges. When energy prices are high, the spread between off-peak solar generation and peak electricity prices widens — directly improving the battery’s return on capital. Degradation schedules and replacement costs must be modelled over the full asset life to reflect the true economics.
  • Yellow hydrogen conversion: Surplus solar electricity that cannot be fed to the grid or stored in batteries can be converted to hydrogen via electrolysis — a pathway that creates an additional revenue stream and turns intermittency from a constraint into a productive asset. Modelling this requires integrated analysis of both the solar plant and the electrolyzer, including levelized cost of hydrogen, combined project IRR, and individual plant payback. The competitiveness of solar-derived hydrogen depends critically on the price of natural gas: when gas prices are elevated — as Europe experienced acutely in 2022, when conventional grey hydrogen reached $5–6 per kilogram — electrolytic hydrogen from solar at $3.50–6.00 per kilogram is already cost-competitive. A financial model must capture this sensitivity explicitly (IEA, Global Hydrogen Review 2024).
  • Financing structure scenarios: The split between debt and equity, interest rate assumptions, and tax incentive eligibility each produce materially different project IRR (Internal Rate of Return) and lender debt service coverage ratios. Running multiple capital structure scenarios before committing to a financing structure is standard lender expectation, not optional sensitivity work.
  • Energy price sensitivity and storage viability thresholds: The central question for any solar project considering storage or hydrogen is: at what energy price does each option become NPV-positive? A financial model must flex energy price assumptions across a range of scenarios to identify these thresholds — and to stress-test what happens if fossil fuel prices fall back. A project that requires $100-per-barrel oil to justify its battery may carry a different risk profile than one that stacks up at $70. Running these numbers in advance is precisely what distinguishes a fundable project analysis from a projection.

As fossil fuel costs remain elevated and solar’s cost advantage seems to widen, eFinancialModels provides developers, project finance professionals, and renewable energy investors with the tools to model every dimension of a modern solar project — from standalone generation through to integrated solar, battery, and hydrogen analysis — and to run the numbers themselves across the full range of scenarios that determine where a project stands.

JGCMGS Completes Independent Security Audit and Releases Verifiable Proof of Reserves, Setting a New Transparency Standard for Digital Asset Exchanges

Italy, 24th Mar 2026 – JGCMGS, an adaptive digital asset exchange platform, today announced the successful completion of an independent third-party security audit alongside the official release of its real-time Verifiable Proof of Reserves system — a dual milestone that marks a significant step forward in the platform’s commitment to operational transparency and user asset protection. The Proof of Reserves system, built on a combination of Merkle tree cryptography and zero-knowledge proof technology, enables any user to independently verify the full backing of their assets at any time, without requiring trust in the platform’s internal reporting alone.

Independent Audit Completed by Third-Party Security Firm

JGCMGS has completed a comprehensive security audit conducted by an independent, third-party cybersecurity firm, covering the platform’s core infrastructure, custody architecture, and operational security protocols. The audit assessed the full scope of the Aegis Citadel security framework — the platform’s multi-layered defense architecture — including its cold storage vault system, Multi-Party Computation wallet infrastructure, and real-time threat detection capabilities.

The audit process followed a continuous penetration testing methodology, applying a “never trust, always verify” operational standard across all platform components. Upon completion, no critical vulnerabilities were identified in the platform’s user asset protection systems. The full audit results are being made available through the platform’s public-facing health dashboard, consistent with JGCMGS’s commitment to providing users with direct, unfiltered access to platform integrity data.

“Completing this audit is not a formality for us — it is a foundational accountability step,” said a spokesperson for JGCMGS. “We chose to subject our systems to rigorous independent scrutiny because we believe that trust in a digital asset platform cannot be declared. It must be demonstrated, repeatedly and verifiably. This audit result, combined with the release of our live Proof of Reserves system, is how JGCMGS demonstrates rather than declares.”

Verifiable Proof of Reserves Now Live for All Users

The JGCMGS Proof of Reserves system is now operational and accessible to all platform users on demand. Unlike conventional exchange reserve disclosures — which typically provide monthly or quarterly static snapshots — the JGCMGS system delivers continuous, real-time attestation of reserve status through a cryptographic verification process that any user can independently run at any point.

The system combines Merkle tree cryptography with zk-SNARKs — Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge — to allow each user to confirm that their specific assets are fully included in the platform’s total verified reserves, without exposing any other user’s private account data in the process. This architecture preserves individual privacy while simultaneously providing system-wide solvency transparency, resolving a technical tension that has historically made genuine real-time reserve verification difficult for exchange platforms to implement at scale.

In parallel, JGCMGS has partnered with an independent auditing firm to provide continuous attestation of platform liabilities, ensuring that reserve verification covers not only asset holdings but also a complete and verifiable one-to-one backing of all user funds. The combination of real-time asset verification and independently attested liabilities provides a complete solvency picture that is accessible to users at all times through the platform’s live health dashboard.

Platform Health Dashboard Goes Public

Alongside the Proof of Reserves release, JGCMGS has launched a public-facing Platform Health Dashboard displaying key operational metrics in real time. The dashboard provides ongoing visibility into reserve verification status, security audit timelines, and infrastructure performance indicators — giving users, partners, and observers a direct and permanent window into the platform’s operational integrity without requiring them to rely on periodic announcements or self-reported disclosures.

The dashboard reflects a broader transparency philosophy embedded in the Aegis Citadel framework: that meaningful security is not demonstrated through claims but through continuous, verifiable, and publicly accessible proof.

Palo Alto, CA, March 24th, 2026 –  As the global tech landscape pivots from generative AI to functional “Agentic Workflows,” DeepBrain AI, a leader in AI Avatar technology, has officially announced the launch of its B2B AI Video Agents.

This move signals a paradigm shift in how businesses communicate, moving beyond static video content to Conversational Avatars that listen, understand, and respond to users in real-time.

The Rise of the Conversational Agent

The AI industry is rapidly maturing, moving from the sheer awe of high-fidelity video generation—pioneered by creative leaders like Runway—to the practical utility of Interactive Intelligence. While these creative tools continue to redefine video aesthetics, DeepBrain AI is focusing on the conversational and agentic capabilities of its avatars, turning them into intelligent partners designed to bridge the gap between human empathy and digital scalability.

“The future of video is no longer a one-way street; it is built on interaction,” said Eric (Se-young) Jang, CEO of DeepBrain AI. “Our AI Video Agents move the Interactive Avatar into the heart of the business workflow, providing a conversational interface that drives real, measurable value.”

Key Innovations: Turning Static Pixels into Active Partners

DeepBrain AI’s launch focuses on three core pillars designed for the modern enterprise:

  • Real-Time Agentic Shift: Unlike traditional video, these agents engage in two-way dialogue, making them ideal for high-stakes roles in customer service and internal operations.
  • Enterprise-Grade Scalability: Built on the AI Studios platform, the solution allows organizations to deploy thousands of virtual agents simultaneously without the logistical burden of manual support.
  • Proven Reliability: The technology is already “battle-tested” by global giants including SAP, Shinhan Bank, and Samsung Securities, ensuring mission-critical security and performance.

Redefining the Enterprise Touchpoint

The implementation of Interactive AI Video Agents is expected to transform three critical areas of business:

  1. Conversational Knowledge Access: Employees can now consult a “digital mentor” to access instant professional insights via real-time dialogue.
  2. Elevated Customer Experience (CX): Providing 24/7, high-touch support that maintains a consistent brand voice while resolving complex inquiries.
  3. Operational Efficiency: Virtual agents can handle the workload of entire departments, allowing human teams to focus on high-level strategy.

The Competitive Landscape

As the industry matures, DeepBrain AI distinguishes itself by focusing on the conversational and interactive utility of AI. While other players focus on cinematic aesthetics, DeepBrain is doubling down on functional utility—creating digital twins that don’t just look human, but work like them.
