IntellaTriage Welcomes James Lezzer as Vice President of Interoperability to Accelerate Integration Efforts and Enhance Client Experience
IntellaTriage, the nation's leading provider of after-hours nurse-first triage solutions, has hired James Lezzer as VP of Interoperability.
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IntellaTriage, the nation's leading provider of after-hours nurse-first triage solutions, is proud to announce the appointment of James (Jim) Lezzer as Vice President of Interoperability. In this newly created role, Lezzer will lead the company's ongoing efforts to deepen integration between its proprietary triage platform, IntellaHub, and major electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
A seasoned healthcare executive, Lezzer brings a wealth of experience in building strategic partnerships across the healthcare technology landscape. He most recently served as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at LivTech, where he forged key relationships that advanced interoperability and innovation across multiple health tech platforms.
'Everything we do, every strategic move we make, is intended to fulfill our mission to improve the lives of nurses and patients,' said Daniel Reese, CEO of IntellaTriage. 'Direct integration with EMRs is the safest and most efficient way to support our triage nurses, our clients, and their patients. It results in real improvements to both patient care and the clinician experience. We've already made significant progress in this area with our integrations to Homecare Homebase and Epic, and Jim's expertise will help us accelerate even further. I'm thrilled to welcome him to the team and excited to see how his leadership will shape this next chapter of our growth.'
Lezzer is equally enthusiastic about the opportunity, stating, 'I've spent years working alongside providers and vendors, learning where the gaps are in healthcare communication and technology. I'm excited to put those insights to work at IntellaTriage, helping break down the silos that slow care and create friction. The IntellaTriage mission resonates with me personally, and I'm excited to be able to help patients and their caregivers get the support they need while ensuring our clients are able provide them with the highest quality care.'
IntellaTriage has long championed technology as a tool to support, but not replace, compassionate, nurse-led care. While not a tech company at its core, IntellaTriage leverages technology like IntellaHub to remove barriers, streamline communication, and enhance both clinical accuracy and patient experience.
In the home health and hospice space, EMRs frequently lack interoperability, creating inefficiencies that impact patient care and provider workflows. IntellaTriage is actively addressing this gap. Its established integration with Homecare Homebase has already improved client workflows, eliminated redundancies, and enhanced the experience for both patients and field nurses. The addition of Lezzer to the leadership team signals a continued investment in smart, seamless interoperability that benefits all stakeholders.

Fox News beats ABC, NBC, CBS during weekday primetime while CNN has lowest-rated week of year
Fox News Channel beat all broadcast networks in a key metric last week as CNN had its lowest-rated week of the year. Fox News averaged 2.7 million viewers during primetime on weekdays from May 26-30, compared to 2.4 million for NBC, 2.4 million for CBS and 2.3 million for ABC. While Fox News prevailed against the trio of broadcast networks, it also obliterated CNN. Fox News averaged 1.5 million total day viewers from May 26 through June 1, compared to a dismal 308,000 for CNN. During primetime, Fox News averaged 2.3 million viewers while CNN settled for only 374,000. It was much of the same among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, as Fox News delivered 175,000 total day demo viewers and 240,000 during primetime, compared to 49,000 total day and 61,000 primetime demo viewers for CNN. CNN finished with its worst week of the year across both primetime and total day as Fox News had its highest cable news share since inauguration week. Along the way, the top 100 cable news telecasts for the week all aired on Fox News. "The Five" averaged 3.7 million total viewers and 409,000 in the critical demo to lead cable news in both categories. "Special Report with Bret Baier," "The Ingraham Angle," "Jesse Watters Primetime," "Hannity," "FOX News @ Night," "Gutfeld!," "Outnumbered," "The Will Cain Show," "America's Newsroom," "America Reports" and Harris Faulkner's "The Faulkner Focus" all had strong weeks, too, to help Fox News crush CNN.

Allina Health doctors, PAs hold first-ever union picket, ask for better work-life balance in new contract
Six hundred Allina doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners who work in primary care are asking for a new contract with more work-life balance. They gathered in the pouring rain Tuesday morning for a first-of-its-kind protest. "We are here together as a result of many years of fighting, fighting for primary care and fighting to make things better," workers chanted. While nurses have walked the picket line for years, these picketers are doctors, PA's and nurse practitioners who are admittedly higher compensated. "We all get paid really well, its not about that. It's about having better support for our patients and support in our community and that we want a fair treatment in our contract and protections for everybody," said Dr. Chris Filetti, a pediatrician with Allina Health. WCCO The workers are asking for paid sick leave, instead of having to use vacation time. They're also asking for four hours a week to finish paperwork, instead of doing it in their off time. Additionally, they're asking for more medical assistants and nurses for support. "As a provider I hear story after story about providers who have to cut back from practice because of poor work-life balance," said Filetti. Allina's leaders say they are listening despite the unsettled contract, telling WCCO in a statement: "We continue to negotiate in good faith to reach responsible agreements that maintain competitive pay and benefits for our providers while ensuring that we can sustain our caring mission during these extremely uncertain economic times. It is important to get it right. We remain committed to reaching fair agreements that ensure we can maintain access to the high-quality care people depend on."

Ukraine's Drone Strike Is a Warning—for the U.S.
By now Americans know about Ukraine's remarkable drone strike on Sunday that damaged as many as 40 aircraft deep inside Russia as strategic bombers sat like ducks in a row on military bases. One urgent lesson beyond that conflict is that the U.S. homeland is far more vulnerable than most Americans realize. The details about Ukraine's daring operation are few, but Kyiv managed to sneak cheap drones across the border and use them to destroy costly Russian military assets. The bang for Ukraine's buck was considerable. You don't have to be a fan of thrillers to imagine a similar scenario in the United States.
