2023 was a year of big changes for IR Quarterly. In January, we launched a brand-new site, custom made to provide ease of access to our members. In tandem, we released our special report on healthcare disparities, which highlighted how IRs are combatting the myriad barriers to care.
Throughout 2023, we published articles on technological opportunities and practice profiles, as well as access challenges and research updates. SIR Today highlighted groundbreaking scientific abstracts and inspiration award winners, while The Kinked Wire brought audio abstracts and thought-provoking conversations with IR leaders directly to your phone.
There are more changes ahead for 2024, from exciting podcast updates to another special report. But in case you missed any highlights from 2023, be sure to listen to the Kinked Wire year in review episode, then check out some of the other top articles and episodes of the year.
