What Healthcare Innovation does

Healthcare Innovation, operating as HCI Innovation Group, is a B2B healthcare media publication founded in 1981 (originally as Healthcare Informatics) and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. The publication is owned by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B, and serves senior leaders of hospitals, medical groups, and health systems across the United States with editorial coverage spanning policy and value-based care, population health, analytics/AI, cybersecurity, interoperability/HIE, clinical IT, imaging, and finance/revenue cycle.

The company operates a multi-product content portfolio built on a digital media and publishing platform: a flagship magazine (since 1981), a daily e-newsletter, a comprehensive website (hcinnovationgroup.com), the Healthcare Innovation Summit Series (in-person and virtual events), the Digital Health Virtual Series, podcasts distributed across Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Podbean, sponsored webinars, whitepapers, and two awards programs (Innovator Awards and Impact Awards). Content distribution extends across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, and YouTube.

Revenue is generated through a sales-led B2B media motion combining advertising placements, sponsored content, webinar sponsorships, virtual event sales, Summit Series registrations and sponsorships, and newsletter distribution. The commercial team includes a Director of Business Development (covering most U.S. states), a Digital Programs & Virtual Events Sales Director (covering the Eastern U.S., Canada, and international), and a Director of Sales. Healthcare technology vendors such as Salesforce/FormAssembly, LeanTaaS, ServiceNow, Informatica, Philips SpeechLive, Neximatic, and Gordian represent the sponsor/advertiser customer base, while the editorial audience comprises hospital and health system C-suite, clinical, and IT decision-makers navigating the transition from volume to value in U.S. healthcare.
