While journaling this past Saturday, It suddenly hit me: it’s time to put away the foolish notions of the summer because September, my favorite month, is upon us, HITters. September isn’t just about back-to-school or the start of pumpkin spice season; it’s the month tech enthusiasts eagerly await — Techtember. In the tech industry, Techtember has become synonymous with significant product launches, strategic announcements, and a little bit of tech-induced foreplay. But what does this mean for healthcare IT? Well, friends, I am going to share the significance of #Techtember, its impact on the healthcare IT sector, and the financial implications of the new tech products hitting the market.

What is Techtember?

Techtember is the unofficial holiday month for tech lovers. It’s when the biggest names in technology roll out their latest and most excellent products, from groundbreaking software updates to innovative hardware. For the healthcare IT sector, Techtember is more than just an industry buzzword; it’s a period where new tools and technologies that can significantly impact patient care, data management, and overall healthcare delivery are introduced. And this year, there’s so going on, so many opportunities to be had, I can hardly hold on to my coffee.
