    DoorDash shares slid as much as 19 per cent after hours on Wednesday following weaker than expected third-quarter profits and big increases to its spending plan on tech upgrades next year.

    The food and grocery delivery app said it generated net income of $244mn in the third quarter, below expectations of $295mn, according to forecasts compiled by Visible Alpha.

    Its financial outlook for the fourth quarter was also lower than expected. DoorDash said it planned to spend “several hundred million dollars” more next year than it did in 2025 on initiatives including a new technology platform for its global brands Wolt and Deliveroo.

    Profits fell short despite the value of orders placed on the platform growing 25 per cent year on year to $25bn, ahead of estimates of $24.6bn.

    DoorDash, which operates in more than 40 countries, said it experienced strong growth in monthly active users, adding nearly twice as many customers in the US in 2025 as last year.

    It said growth and investment in its tech would come at the expense of short-term costs.

    “We wish there was a way to grow a baby into an adult without investment, or to see the baby grow into an adult overnight, but we do not believe this is how life or business works,” DoorDash said in its earnings release.

    The company said the UK’s Deliveroo, which it acquired this year for £2.9bn, would contribute roughly $45mn in adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation in the fourth quarter. It expects the platform will contribute about $200mn in the coming year.

    DoorDash said Deliveroo’s contribution for next year was $32mn to $40mn lower than prior estimates, after “aligning our accounting treatment and definitions”.

  • Rocket Lab Successfully Deploys Sixth Earth-Imaging Satellite for iQPS

    Long Beach, Calif. November 5, 2025: Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB) (“Rocket Lab” or “the Company”), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today successfully launched its 74th Electron mission and deployed the latest satellite to orbit for Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (iQPS). The mission was Rocket Lab’s sixth dedicated mission for iQPS, making Rocket Lab the most prolific launcher of their Earth-imaging constellation to date.

    ‘The Nation God Navigates’ mission lifted off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand at 19:51 UTC on November 5th to deploy a single synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellite named QPS-SAR-14 (nicknamed YACHIHOKO-I for the Japanese god of nation-building) to a 575km circular Earth orbit. Electron will launch six more dedicated iQPS missions following the recent signing of an additional multi-launch agreement to build out their constellation in low Earth orbit.

    Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, says: “Success in the space industry boils down to precision and repeatability. This latest mission for iQPS once again demonstrates the pinpoint accuracy our customers depend on to grow their constellations, and we’re grateful to the iQPS team for trusting us with their launch needs. With six seamless deployments for iQPS in the books, Electron is ready for the next six.”

    iQPS CEO, Dr. Shunsuke Onishi, says: “We are pleased to announce the successful deployment of QPS-SAR-14 ‘YACHIHOKO-I’, marking our fifth successful launch this year. This milestone reflects the steady advancement of our technology and the growth of our team. We sincerely thank the Electron team and all our members for their outstanding work. With this success, we move closer to realizing our vision of near real-time Earth observation and delivering greater value to society.”

    ‘The Nation God Navigates’ was Electron’s 74th launch to date and 16th this year, meeting Rocket Lab’s current record high of yearly launches, which was 16 in 2024. With more Electron missions scheduled throughout the remainder of 2025, Rocket Lab is on track for another record-breaking year of launches, all while the Company prepares for the debut launch of its medium-lift reusable rocket, Neutron.

    Journal of Medical Internet Research

    Smoking causes severe health consequences, and there is no safe level of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure [,]. SHS exposure among children increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, and lung cancer in adulthood []. Over 40% of children in the United States are regularly exposed to SHS, most often by a parent []. When a parent quits smoking, they significantly lower their chances of developing lung and other related cancers and lengthen their life expectancy []. Parental smoking cessation eliminates the majority of children’s SHS exposure and decreases the odds that their children will become tobacco users themselves [-]. Pediatricians are well positioned to help parents quit smoking by implementing interventions that connect parents with cost-effective, evidence-based tobacco cessation treatments [,]. Furthermore, for low-income households, where the smoking rate can be 2 times the general population level, pediatricians are often parents’ primary source of interaction with the health care system [,]. Thus, integrating tobacco cessation treatment within pediatric care holds great promise for mitigating the harm of tobacco within families.

    While pediatric health care systems are uniquely positioned to help parents and household members (henceforth referred to as parents) quit smoking, evidence-based treatments are significantly underused []. Cost-effective cessation strategies exist, especially when behavioral and pharmacological interventions are combined (eg, nicotine replacement therapy [NRT] plus the Quitline) []. Compared to controls, behavioral interventions, such as telephone- or text-messaging–based counseling, and NRTs significantly increase smoking cessation rates and can easily be disseminated [,]. The 2021 US Preventive Services Task Force, Healthy People 2030, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the surgeon general all strongly recommend that clinicians ask all adults about tobacco use and provide behavioral interventions and pharmacotherapy for cessation [,-]. To best address tobacco use among parents, it is ideal to develop scalable solutions that are coordinated across health systems, community partners, and national services.

    Fortunately, advances in health interoperability standards, such as Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), SMART on FHIR (hereafter referred to as SMART), and CDS Hooks, have created opportunities to more easily support these efforts [-]. FHIR is a health information exchange standard that allows clients (eg, clinical decision support [CDS] services) to obtain granular access to data, such as encounters, allergies, or medications, using a standardized application programming interface (API). SMART is a standard that allows authorized apps to be opened directly from an electronic health record (EHR) or patient portal so that clinicians and patients can seamlessly access external apps within their workflow. CDS Hooks is an event-driven framework in which specific actions in the clinical workflow, such as ordering a medication and trigger messages, known as “hooks,” are sent to subscribing services. These systems can then return recommendations as a “card” to the user directly within their EHR workflow. Systems built on these standards, known as service-oriented systems, are separate from the host system (eg, EHR) but connected using a standard API []. This allows for a modular, scalable approach that can extend care beyond the individual patient.

    Several researchers have already begun to explore using these standards for developing CDS systems. Investigators in one health system demonstrated the utility of the SMART framework within the EHR using both clinician- and patient-facing apps to address clinical needs such as patient-specific medication instructions []. Dolin et al [] developed a prototype pharmacogenomics CDS service that interfaced with a commercial EHR using the CDS Hooks standard, and Jung et al [] used CDS Hooks to implement a national service for drug allergy interaction checking. Other researchers have sought to combine standards within the same system. Theiss et al [] developed a prototype app that combined several health information technology standards in a nonproduction setting, and Morgan et al [] combined contextual CDS Hooks prompts to direct clinicians to SMART apps within their hospital’s emergency department.

    These studies highlighted the utility of each standard; however, the apps were designed mainly to support clinicians, not patients or families, and were deployed in nonpediatric settings. Lastly, while some use cases have connected to external systems (eg, Value Set Authority Center or RXNorm) to retrieve information, the apps did not interface with community health care partners. In this viewpoint, we describe our experience in developing and implementing a parent tobacco treatment platform (PTTP) within a pediatric institution that leverages multiple international standards to support interoperability, with the overarching goal of providing a model for how such work can be approached. We highlight three key areas where critical decisions shaped the design and trajectory of the system: (1) international standards, (2) community partnerships, and (3) family-centered care. By sharing these lessons, we aim to guide other health IT developers, physicians, health care leadership, and standards development organizations in designing, implementing, and scaling CDS interventions.

    Project Setting

    The PTTP was developed as part of a National Institutes of Health funded research initiative focused on connecting the parents (including caregivers and other household members) of our patients with smoking cessation services within the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Care Network and Pediatric Research Consortium [], which includes a combination of suburban, urban, and semirural practices that use a common EHR (Epic Systems Inc). The tool was initially deployed in 5 clinics and has since expanded across all CHOP’s primary care and pulmonary medicine networks (35 sites). Development (including user analysis and design) of the CDS system occurred between January 2020 and November 2023. To support this work, a multidisciplinary team was formed that consisted of physicians, a software engineer and EHR-integration expert, a human-computer interaction specialist, and project managers. The project was approved by the CHOP Institutional Review Board (IRB 20‐018146).

    System Overview

    On the basis of a rigorous human-centered design evaluation, which consisted of interviews with clinicians, parents, and front-desk staff, formative testing of prototypes, and iterative feedback sessions, we identified that the system needed to support 2 high-level workflows () [,].

    Figure 1. Conceptual framework for connecting parents to tobacco cessation treatment from the pediatric chart. EHR: electronic health record.

    First, the system needed to screen, identify, and automatically connect parents to the requested treatment options. Although some health care providers (HCP) already routinely ask parents about their smoking status, our team found that the process is inconsistent. Furthermore, parents felt more comfortable disclosing their smoking status through a survey that used nonjudgmental language []. Additionally, to engage parents during a potential activation window, where they are energized to engage in treatment, all treatment connections needed to be processed immediately upon user responses. From these priorities, we hypothesized that an event-driven architecture, responding to previsit questionnaires in the patient portal, would meet the needs of our project. This architecture includes the following high-level layers: (1) producer (source of events), (2) broker (sender of events), and (3) subscriber (listener of events; ) []. Questionnaires can be completed up to 7 days ahead of the visit within the patient’s personal health portal (MyChart; Epic System), during check-in, or by the HCP during the visit. The questionnaire is configurable within our vendor EHR and includes questions about smoking use; if the respondent indicates that they smoke, it provides a motivational message to encourage treatment engagement and three evidence-based treatment options: (1) NRT, (2) Quitline enrollment, and (3) SmokefreeTXT enrollment. The Quitline is a free, state-specific, telephone-based smoking cessation service that provides counseling, referrals to other programs, and access to free medication. SmokefreeTXT is a free mobile text messaging service offered by the National Cancer Institute that provides daily tips and 24-hour support for quitting smoking. Treatment connections are processed immediately upon completion of the questionnaire.

    Figure 2. Event-driven architecture.

    Second, the system should incorporate a component embedded within the clinician workflow in the EHR. HCPs were interested in understanding the smoking status of the household, given its impact on the child. To reduce the burden on HCPs, who have to juggle many competing priorities in a limited amount of time, the clinician-facing component needed to not only summarize smoking use in the household but also quickly allow HCPs to connect parents to smoking cessation treatment and support other clinical tasks within the EHR, such as documentation and billing. We hypothesized that a client-side rendering architecture would serve the needs of this component []. This architecture includes the following layers: (1) presentation (eg, the user-facing app), (2) application (eg, clinical logic), (3) service (eg, connection to database and treatment partners), and (4) database (storage of app data; ).

    Figure 3. Client-side rendering architecture. API: application programming interface.

    We mapped the architectural needs of our system to interoperability standards across all versions supported by Health Level 7 (HL7) International (draft standard for trial use, standard for trial use, and release). To reduce potential dissemination barriers of our system to other organizations, we prioritized standards based on modern internet protocols (eg, FHIR) and limited them to only those well supported by our commercial EHR vendor. Refer to for the list of standards that were evaluated.

    Table 1. Interoperability standards reviewed.
    Standard Description Component
    CDS Hooks [] An event-driven architecture, where events in the EHR (known as hooks) trigger messages to subscribers. Currently an HL7 standard for trial use, it uses FHIR for the data model standard, and OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for authorization and authentication. Parent
    Direct messaging [] Method of securely exchanging information to trusted partners. Commonly used with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and the Continuity of Care Document as a method for exchanging clinical information. Used by some EHRs to connect patients to telephone-based counseling services. Parent
    Clinical Quality Language [] A standard for representing clinical logic to enable sharing across institutions. The language is both human- and machine-readable, and common use cases include quality measures and decision support. Parent and clinician
    FHIR [] Health information exchange standard that takes advantage of popular internet protocols and data formats. Increasing in popularity among health care developers and now on release 6. Parent and clinician
    SMART [] Standard to integrate external apps into health information systems such as the EHR. Uses OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for authorization and authentication and FHIR for information exchange standard. Clinician
    Web messaging [] HL7 standard for supporting tighter integration between the host system and embedded SMART app. Relies on HTML5’s web-messaging protocol to support communication between systems. While not directly supported in our EHR, our EHR vendor provides a similar web-messaging framework, which is included as part of our evaluation. Clinician

    cFHIR: Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources.

    While HL7 version 2 messaging is the most common event-driven standard used in health care, its implementation often uses a transmission control protocol, which is at a lower level of the Open Systems Interconnection model compared to more modern standards, such as FHIR []. As a result, it is generally not a preferred health information exchange standard for new developments. Evaluations occurred at the following technology layers, where standards were available: (1) EHR-integration framework (eg, SMART, CDS Hooks, and web messaging), (2) data model (eg, FHIR), (3) logic (eg, clinical quality language [CQL]), and (4) community information exchange (eg, direct).

    The smoking cessation system () has 2 high-level components, a parent-facing and a clinician-facing system, with services shared between them (). Both components are described below, with a separate section dedicated to shared services. provides an overview of the use of standards across each component.

    Patient-Facing Component

    We first evaluated technologies that would meet the needs of the parent-facing CDS, which was delivered through a previsit questionnaire. Given the existing support for the direct messaging protocol within our EHR and the Pennsylvania Quitline, we initially attempted to facilitate connections using this method. However, as CHOP is a pediatric hospital and does not maintain charts for adults, the Direct protocol did not readily support transmitting information about the parent through the child’s chart. Additionally, other treatment partners did not support the direct protocol. Therefore, a separate service was required to create a connection between the parent and our community treatment partners.

    We then evaluated the CDS Hooks standard. While CDS Hooks services are traditionally used to deliver information (eg, recommendations) in the form of a card within a user’s (eg, clinician) workflow, we were interested in using the standard to perform asynchronous tasks. Unfortunately, the current version of the standard does not support a hook based on the completion of a questionnaire. However, our EHR’s implementation of CDS Hooks provides a richer set of triggers, including the completion of a previsit questionnaire. While the use of widely available standards was preferred, other options would have required significant customization and project-specific code. As a result of this and early demonstrations related to adding a hook for responding to patient-completed questionnaires [], we chose to move forward with the CDS Hooks. Immediately after submitting the questionnaire, a Patient_View hook is immediately triggered from the EHR to our system. The system authenticates the message, evaluates questionnaire responses retrieved via FHIR, and connects parents to the requested treatment options.

    After determining the trigger mechanism, we explored CQL as a standards-based method for evaluating the patient’s data to determine whether treatment options were requested. While the CQL rule performed as expected, part of the EHR configuration required to send a CDS Hooks message after completion of a previsit questionnaire included a native EHR rule, which already evaluated questionnaire responses. Given this and the additional infrastructure required to support the CQL standard, such as the rules engine, which is not readily supported by our EHR, the CQL rule was considered redundant and removed. In its place, a combination of EHR-based rules within the questionnaire configuration and logic statements in the CDS Hooks service was used.

    Clinician-Facing Component

    Next, we evaluated standards-based methods for developing and implementing the clinician-facing component. Given the recent federal regulation mandating support for SMART [], we chose this method to embed this component directly within the HCP’s EHR workflow, requiring no additional clicks to navigate to or open. The app was written in React (JavaScript) and supports multiple HCP tasks within the EHR. For parents who smoke but do not select a treatment during the questionnaire, the app allows HCPs to enroll the parent in treatment if they change their mind. The system also allows HCPs to add SHS to the problem list with a single click and includes a section with prompts on how to discuss tobacco use with parents and treatment information. Furthermore, the app automates several routine tasks, including populating text within the encounter note and after-visit summary and defaulting visit diagnoses in order sets. When a parent accepts treatment and counseling is performed by the HCP, the system also provides information on how to appropriately bill for the visit.

    To facilitate a tight integration between the app and the EHR, we took advantage of our EHR vendor’s web-messaging framework that enables navigation to different areas of the chart, such as viewing questionnaire responses. Although similar to SMART Web Messaging, our EHR’s framework also allows embedded apps to “listen” to events originating from the EHR, such as when a patient’s medications or problem list are updated. For example, to ensure that SHS is not added to the patient’s chart multiple times, our system listens for changes to the patient’s problem list and updates itself accordingly.

    Both the parent- and clinician-facing components use a set of shared services to connect parents to smoking cessation treatment. At the time of our project, limited options existed to support information exchange between the EHR and community partners. Unfortunately, due to varying technical resources across our treatment partners, as well as the lack of support for family-centered care within our EHR, standards-based methods for connecting parents from the child’s chart were not possible. As a result, a separate service was required to connect parents to each partner, as detailed in the subsequent sections. All services are secured using the OAuth 2.0 token infrastructure.

    NRT Treatment

    Since the smoking cessation system was embedded within the child’s chart, traditional methods to prescribe medication (eg, E-Prescribe) were not available. To connect parents to NRT, we contracted a third-party pharmacy that delivered medication to the parents’ homes. However, as a smaller organization, the pharmacy lacked the resources to develop a process for ingesting parent information using more modern techniques, such as an API. Consequently, we developed a service to send parent information and a system-generated PDF of a prescription using encrypted email.

    Text Message–Based Counseling

    We partnered with SmokefreeTXT to provide text-based counseling to parents. SmokefreeTXT is a text message program provided by the National Cancer Institute that provides a web form that individuals can complete to enroll []. We initially attempted to integrate this web form directly into our previsit questionnaire, but due to network restrictions within our organization, this was not possible. Additionally, because the questionnaire includes other treatment options beyond SmokefreeTXT, the use of the web form may have required users to enter their information multiple times if they were interested in other treatment options. At the time of our project, no automated mechanism existed to connect individuals to the program, so we engaged directly with the SmokefreeTXT operating partner to request the development of an API. The API initially only accepted the participant’s phone number; however, a primary goal of our project was to remove as many potential barriers to treatment engagement as possible. As a result, to streamline the enrollment process, which required the user to respond with additional information after enrolling (eg, target quit date and current age), a second API was enabled to programmatically update these values, using information already provided in the questionnaire.

    Telephone-Based Counseling

    Because CHOP provides care across multiple states, we needed to partner with 2 separate telephone counseling organizations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, each with different connection requirements. Quitline selection is determined by the location of the participating clinic. The Pennsylvania Quitline supports the use of the Direct Messaging protocol. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, Direct Messaging does not account for the family-centered nature of care and can only readily be used if the connection originates from the patient’s chart. In an attempt to establish real-time connections, we evaluated the development of an API similar to that used for SmokefreeTXT; however, this was not possible at the time due to limited resources. Additionally, the Pennsylvania Quitline had already established a robust infrastructure where enrollments are processed through a daily file exchange using the Secure File Transfer Protocol. To build the file, a script queries our clinical data warehouse to identify the participants who are requested to be enrolled. This file is then retrieved by the Quitline partner, who is given remote access to the directory, and processed by their system. For our New Jersey partner, due to resource constraints, connections are sent using encrypted email in a process similar to that of our pharmacy partner (described above).

    Parents want their child’s physician to discuss smoking cessation treatment with them []. However, in pediatric settings, appropriate tobacco treatments are rarely, if ever, provided to parents who smoke []. This is largely due to workflow limitations in the pediatric EHR, especially the inability to account for the family aspect of child health care [,]. EHR vendors often develop features for the physician-adult patient dyad. However, as noted above, they provide limited support to connect family relationships, making it challenging to leverage existing technologies to support teamwork across the patient’s entire network (eg, care team and community groups), particularly in pediatric settings [].

    Our system focused directly on the family-centered nature of a child’s care. Therefore, over a 1-year period, our system was used in 194,946 visits and identified 7847 (4.03%) parents who smoked. Of those who smoked, 37.64% (n=2954) selected at least one treatment option, 29.27% (n=2297) selected NRT, 29.46% (n=2312) selected SmokefreeTXT, and 21.8% (n=1711) selected the Quitline (). Performance of the app was excellent, with 99% of all treatment connections handled through the previsit questionnaire and CDS Hooks service without clinician involvement. The remaining 1% of the connections were facilitated using the clinician-facing tool. Interaction (eg, clicks) within the clinician-facing system was limited, occurring in only 774 (<1%) encounters. Given the low level of interaction with the system by HCPs, routine check-ins with practice management were established to ensure that any issues with usability were identified and corrected. No issues were identified during the project period. The uptime of the system (across all components) was 99.99%, with most outages related to network faults that occurred for less than 1 minute. We identified multiple failures in the web-messaging framework; however, these only limited navigation to different areas of the chart from within the app (eg, viewing the questionnaire) and did not impact parent connections. The median (IQR) response time across all system services was 60 (14,393) milliseconds.

    By combining multiple international health data standards and reusing app services across system components (parent and clinician facing), we were able to develop the EHR-integrated PTTP. Our system connected parents (including caregivers and other household members) with smoking cessation treatment at scale, serving hundreds of thousands of families across a diverse patient and practice population. This represents a significant increase compared to prior work [-]. Furthermore, by developing our system in a modular way, we helped to lower the barriers to implementation in another health system on the same EHR, which is using components of our platform []. However, our work also showed that there are limits to using international interoperability standards to support family-centered care in pediatrics.

    First, some standards, such as CDS Hooks, are limited in scope and support only a fraction of the potentially actionable events that occur within a health care system. Engaging with patients and families outside of the clinical encounter is a growing area of interest in the health care community []. One method of doing this is through previsit questionnaires, which can be completed in the patient’s health portal. Using our EHR vendor’s enhanced set of CDS Hooks triggers, our system was able to immediately respond to parents completing a previsit questionnaire. Compared to adult settings, where only 7.6% of patients received a medication associated with tobacco use treatment [], our system connected 29% of the parents. Additionally, 99% of these connections occurred automatically, without requiring any work from the visit HCP. While CDS Hooks was originally intended to support more synchronous workflows, such as validating orders at the time of ordering, our team envisions a much larger role for the standard to support asynchronous workflows that do not require input from the health team. This could help organizations across EHR platforms change how they engage with their patients and even alter the dynamics of an individual visit.

    Additionally, variability in health care workflows and implementation of standards across EHR vendors creates a need to adapt even standards-adherent systems for implementation in different health systems [,,]. This is especially true for standards that are flexible to institutional workflows, such as SMART, which, depending on the EHR, can integrate into the EHR at different stages of the visit or locations in the chart. Furthermore, health care is a complex adaptive system, and a single workflow may not work across organizations []. Therefore, even for EHRs that support SMART, individual implementations may differ across care domains (eg, inpatient vs primary care) or organizations. Given these limitations, future research and implementation efforts should evaluate whether a combination of standards-based and native EHR technologies would increase portability while reducing maintenance.

    Second, standards are not widely adopted outside of health care organizations, such as hospitals or clinics. Recent regulations require EHR vendors to support health interoperability technologies for certification with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology []. However, smaller, health care–adjacent organizations similar to our community partners may not use commercial EHRs and often lack the resources to support integrations using international standards. Additionally, standards supporting EHR integration with community partners, such as the Direct protocol, do not support connections for others within the patient’s network (eg, parents). As a result, our system needed to support 3 different methods of information exchange (eg, encrypted email, API, and secure file transfer protocol), and even those that shared a protocol required different information within the message. To fully realize the potential of our system to support interoperability at the community partner level, additional work is needed to create a standardized method for exchanging information. One promising standard-based method to support this is the FHIR ServiceRequest profile, which has been part of the United States Core Interoperability implementation guide since version 2 was released in April 2022.

    Lastly, our work showed that the concept of the EHR as a hub, where the EHR provides the necessary capabilities to support teamwork across the patient’s entire network (eg, care team and community groups), is not well supported, particularly in pediatrics []. For example, if a parent has 2 children, ideally, our system would only request information (via the previsit questionnaire) once. However, as patient records rarely contain family-based associations [], the parent is presented with the questionnaire multiple times, which may result in parental frustration and potentially conflicting information across their children’s charts.

    Performance of the PTTP was acceptable, with near-perfect uptime across all components. However, we identified issues that warranted attention, including network failures and communication with our EHR’s web-messaging framework. While a growing body of work has identified how CDS can fail, the focus has largely been on centralized computing models where the data and the computation are on the same machine [-]. Architectures taking advantage of newer HL7 standards create new complexities and failure modes that are not recognized with existing frameworks []. To ensure the ongoing safety and effectiveness of service-oriented CDS, more research into these failure modes is necessary.

    We found that it is feasible to develop and integrate CDS using a hybrid architecture that combines several health IT standards such as SMART, FHIR, and CDS Hooks. These types of systems are likely to increase over time; however, additional work is necessary to both expand existing standards to integrate with the EHR and streamline information exchange processes for sharing data, when appropriate, with third-party systems about a patient’s care network (eg, parents) whose behaviors impact the patient. Similarly, improved EHR support for linking patient records of family relationships will help to align health data across families.

  • Hyatt Newsroom – News Releases

    Hyatt and Chase Expand their Collaboration as World of Hyatt Loyalty Program Continues Industry-Leading Growth

    World of Hyatt reaches more than 60 million members, growing at a rate of nearly 30% annually since 2017

    CHICAGO, IL (November 5, 2025) – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: H) today announced an expanded agreement with Chase (NYSE: JPM), building on the successful collaboration between Hyatt and Chase that rewards World of Hyatt cardmembers for stays across Hyatt’s global portfolio.

    World of Hyatt remains the fastest-growing loyalty program in the global hospitality industry with more than 60 million members, growing at a rate of nearly 30% annually since 2017. Through its continued emphasis on member choice and recognition, World of Hyatt is one of the most valuable hospitality loyalty programs, with more than 40% more members per hotel compared to the next closest competitor. The result is highly engaged members who spend more, stay more, and book through direct channels more frequently than non-members.

    “Our expanded agreement with Chase marks an exciting next chapter in how we grow, reward, and engage with our most loyal travelers,” said Mark Vondrasek, Chief Commercial Officer, Hyatt. “By deepening our collaboration, we’re creating more ways for Chase cardmembers to experience Hyatt’s global portfolio and for World of Hyatt members to be recognized beyond their stays – driving meaningful value for our guests, our owners, and our brands.”

    Hyatt expects a significant increase in economics following the expanded agreement with Chase, driven by the expanded collaboration, the continued growth of World of Hyatt membership, the strength of Hyatt’s global portfolio of premium brands serving travelers with high disposable incomes, and Hyatt’s robust hotel room pipeline in sought-after destinations. The expanded collaboration is expected to drive additional stays to Hyatt properties from other Chase cardmembers via Chase Travel and Chase Ultimate Rewards. World of Hyatt Explorist status will be added as a benefit for top spending Chase Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business cardmembers beginning in the middle of 2026. Hyatt will also continue to increase the number of luxury and premium brands, such as Park Hyatt and Alila, participating in The Edit by Chase Travel.

    “We are proud to deepen our over 15-year relationship with Hyatt, expanding our collaboration across not only co-brand, but also our branded cards and Chase Travel,” said Allison Beer, Chief Executive Officer of Card & Connected Commerce, Chase. “The participation from Hyatt in our luxury hotel program, The Edit, and offering loyalty status to Sapphire Reserve cardmembers allows us to deliver even greater value and flexibility to our mutual customers when they stay at world-class Hyatt properties.”

    The impact to adjusted EBITDA recognized by Hyatt related to the economics of the credit card programs and similar third-party relationships is expected to be approximately $50 million in 2025 and more than double to approximately $105 million in 2027, with anticipated continued growth in future years. Hyatt will receive upfront pre-tax cash totaling $47 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, which will be recognized within franchise and other fees over the life of the agreement. Additional financial details can be referenced at the end of this press release.

    World of Hyatt credit cards provide cardmembers with more opportunities to earn and redeem at nearly 1,500 hotels and all-inclusive properties in the Hyatt portfolio and over 1,200 Mr & Mrs Smith properties around the world. World of Hyatt stands apart from other hospitality loyalty programs with clear, reliable value – offering cardmembers exceptional redemption benefits including a fixed award chart and choice in milestone rewards.

    Additionally, Hyatt plans to expand its card portfolio as Hyatt and Chase continue to grow their relationship, building on the success of its current co-branded credit cards – the World of Hyatt Credit Card and the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card. The World of Hyatt credit card portfolio has experienced incredible growth with over 30% increase in card spend and over 25% increase in total cardmembers over the last two years. World of Hyatt cardmember benefits include:

  • Lucid Announces Organizational Changes to Accelerate Growth, Optimize Decision-Making and Strengthen Global Expansion

    Lucid Announces Organizational Changes to Accelerate Growth, Optimize Decision-Making and Strengthen Global Expansion

    NEWARK, Calif. – November 5 2025 — Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAǪ: LCID), maker of the world’s most advanced electric vehicles, today announced key organizational changes designed to accelerate growth, streamline decision-making, and enhance accountability as the company scales globally.

    To support these objectives, Lucid has made the following organizational changes:

    •    Emad Dlala has been appointed Senior Vice President, Engineering and Digital. In addition to leading the powertrain organization, he will now oversee all product development functions, including vehicle engineering, digital systems, and software. In his expanded role he will continue to drive Lucid’s technology leadership, lead vehicle development, improve cost efficiency and manufacturability, and advance Lucid’s software-defined vehicle architectures.
    •    Erwin Raphael has been elevated to Senior Vice President, Revenue, with expanded global responsibilities. He will now lead global sales and service operations, driving accountability for revenue and customer experience as Lucid expands further into new consumer markets worldwide.

    In addition, Lucid has appointed Marnie Levergood, as Senior Vice President, Ǫuality. Levergood will lead efforts to ensure Lucid delivers vehicles that meet the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship, working in close concert with engineering and manufacturing. She previously held quality and manufacturing roles at Scout Motors, Stellantis, and Magna. Levergood succeeds Jeri Ford, who will be retiring after more than 35 years in the automotive industry.

    “As we accelerate production of Lucid Gravity and prepare to launch our Midsize platform, these changes will help drive faster innovation and stronger execution.” said Marc Winterhoff, Interim CEO at Lucid. “Emad has played a key role in establishing Lucid as the EV technology leader. In his new expanded role overseeing complete vehicle development, we have no doubt his leadership will broaden our technology excellence, improve software quality, manage costs, and keep projects on schedule. As we grow globally, Erwin’s leadership will be critical to delivering exceptional customer experiences and driving revenue growth. And Marnie brings decades of experience that further strengthens our leadership team.”

    As part of these changes, Eric Bach, Senior Vice President of Product and Chief Engineer, has departed Lucid. The company thanks him for his contributions over the past decade.

  • JPMorganChase surpasses $2 billion in Detroit investments, unveils new downtown office to help power city’s next chapter

    JPMorganChase today celebrated a major milestone in its more than 90 years doing business in Detroit, announcing that its business and philanthropic investments in the city have surpassed $2 billion since 2014. Marking a new chapter in its commitment to Detroit, the firm also unveiled plans for a state-of-the-art downtown office and conference center at Hudson’s Detroit, designed to foster collaboration, innovation and community engagement. These investments underscore JPMorganChase’s continued support for the city’s resurgence.

    “Today, JPMorganChase celebrates more than a decade of impact in Detroit, surpassing $2 billion in investments that will help fuel the city’s future,” said JPMorganChase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon. “From revitalized neighborhoods to thriving small businesses, Detroit’s transformation is a story of resilience. It is also a story of what’s possible when the business, government and community come together to test new ideas that create growth. Detroit has become a model for how JPMorganChase invests in communities around the world. We are proud to have played a role in the city’s revitalization, and we look forward to continuing our commitment with our new downtown office.”

    “One of the first phone calls I received as Mayor of Detroit was from Jamie Dimon. To think that initial call helped spur $2 billion supporting our people and companies is pretty incredible,” said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan.“Working together, we’ve shown that businesses and government can drive real change. Detroit’s future is bright, and the transformational investments made by JPMorganChase have played a huge role in the city’s turnaround.”

    “Over ten years ago, JPMorgan Chase believed in Detroit’s potential and invested in our future,” said Mayor-Elect Mary Sheffield. “Today, as that investment deepens, it reaffirms what we already know; that the Motor City is on the move. I look forward to building on this momentum and ensuring companies across the country see Detroit as the best place to grow and thrive.”

    A new chapter: Downtown Detroit office

    Building on more than 90 years of doing business in Detroit, JPMorganChase is relocating to a new, state-of-the-art office in the heart of downtown at Hudson’s Detroit. Scheduled for completion in 2026, the new office will serve as a space for collaboration, innovation and community partnerships. It will feature modern workspaces with cutting-edge advanced technologies, dedicated communal areas and flexible meeting spaces. The new office will also include a conference center for client events and meetings as well as space to host community events, financial education workshops, career development programs and networking events.

    In addition to its Class A office space, Hudson’s Detroit, a 1.5 million square foot mixed-use development by Bedrock, brings together destination retail—such as ALO and Tecovas—a premier event venue at The Department at Hudson’s, the Midwest’s first EDITION hotel and residences, and the Detroit debut of Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG). The development includes a new public plaza, Nick Gilbert Way, which features seasonal programming and Un Deux Trois, a French-inspired café truck.

    “Hudson’s Detroit proudly welcomes JPMorganChase as one of our newest tenants,” said Bedrock Senior Vice President of Leasing Naumann Idrees. “Hudson’s not only embodies the history of Detroit, it’s a symbol of the community and the momentum underway across the region. The iconic workplace and exceptional amenities bring a new experience to the market, including onsite meeting and event space, a lounge and fitness center and its prime location on Woodward Avenue, attracting a strong mix of local, national and global companies.”
