Editorial take
_Editorial — MedRecords AI._
IAIABC is the regulator-only room where IME policy actually gets made; the 2026 'Building Bridges' theme and 2024's AI focus make it the highest-leverage event for anyone building compliance-aware IME software or services.
Official retrospectives name AI, recovery management, and mental health as 2024/2025 through-lines; the 112th call emphasizes cross-stakeholder content.
