The special issue focuses on the tension between modern economic pressures and the necessity of innovation. Brian Colao argues that traditional business models are failing under current market conditions, making strategic technology integration a requirement for survival rather than a competitive edge. This theme is echoed by contributors such as Amol Nirgudkar of Patient Prism and Dr. Farzeela Rupani of Colosseum Dental Group, who examine the broader evolution of practice management and leadership.
Ophir Tanz offers a nuanced view on the role of artificial intelligence, comparing modern clinical work to traditional craftsmanship. He suggests that AI should serve to remove administrative friction, freeing practitioners to focus on the human elements of patient care. Beyond the technical shifts, the publication highlights the legacy of industry figures like the late Pat Bauer and profiles growth-oriented organizations including Henry Schein One, Weave, and Zentist. Print copies debut at the conference on July 15, 2026, with a concurrent digital release available for subscribers.
