In this episode of the AI at ViVE series on The Beat Podcast, host Sandy Vance welcomes back Peter Horadan, CEO of Vouched, for a fascinating and forward-looking conversation about one of the most consequential shifts happening in digital identity right now. Digital driver's licenses are no longer a curiosity at TSA checkpoints. They are becoming a global standard, and healthcare is one of the industries that stands to benefit most.  From eliminating duplicate patient records to defending against deepfake fraud to solving the emerging challenge of AI agent identity verification, Peter lays out a clear and compelling vision for what healthcare identity infrastructure needs to look like in the very near future. If you work in telehealth, healthcare IT, compliance, or patient access, this episode will make you think very differently about something most organizations have never considered a strategic priority.  It is believed that about 7% of people in the United States have a digital driver's license today, with estimates reaching 30% adoption by the end of this year and 50% by the end of 2027. If you aren't having conversations for this shift, learn why it matters and how to incorporate it into your patient intake.  In this episode, they talk about: Seven US states are currently issuing digital driver's licenses, and over 30 have  announced plans to do so California has already issued over two million digital driver's licenses, and the EU mandates adoption across all 27 member nations by the end of this year Digital IDs live in a secure chip on your phone, cannot be copied or forged, and require a live biometric to use Between 5 and 15% of electronic health records either have duplicate records for the same patient or multiple patients sharing one record, and strong identity verification at intake is the fix Vouched dramatically reduces patient drop-off rates at the identity verification step, as evidenced by MyStart Health's 40% net business impact Digital IDs actually enhance privacy because they allow users to share only the specific attributes needed, like confirming age without revealing anything else AI agents are already showing up in healthcare workflows, and healthcare organizations need to think now about how to verify that an agent is trustworthy, authorized by a real patient, and actually who it claims to be Vouched released the MCP-I specification a year ago as an open standard for AI agent identity verification, now adopted by the Decentralized Identity Foundation and expanded under the name KYA-OS By the end of 2026, Vouched predicts 40 to 50% of US adults will have a digital driver's license  A Little About Peter: Peter Horadan is the CEO of Vouched, the AI identity verification platform that's transforming how leading Healthcare and Financial Services companies onboard and verify people—instantly and securely. Throughout his career, Peter has led the charge in replacing slow, manual workflows with scalable, automated systems that unlock efficiency, reduce costs, and create measurable impact. From digitizing expense reporting at Concur to streamlining sales tax compliance at Avalara, Peter has helped modernize core business processes across industries. His leadership reflects a deep understanding of how automation can drive growth, compliance, and customer experience at scale. Peter has also held leadership positions at Alavara, Scout Analytics, Microsoft, Corillian, and BEA Systems.

In this episode of the AI at Health series on The Beat Podcast, host Sandy Vance sits down with Venky Ananth, Executive Vice President and Head of Healthcare at Infosys, for a wide-ranging and energizing conversation about what it actually means for AI to transform healthcare at scale. Venky brings a refreshingly honest and structured perspective to a conversation that is often dominated by hype, breaking down why AI is fundamentally different from every other technology wave healthcare has been through, laying out the five areas where Infosys is seeing real traction with payers, providers, and PBMs right now, and sharing the story behind two exciting developments: the acquisition of Optimum Health IT and the Pacesetters podcast and executive leadership community. If you are a healthcare leader trying to figure out where to start or how to think about AI as a whole-enterprise challenge rather than a point solution, this episode is essential listening.  In this episode, they talk about: AI is not a point solution; it is a new operating system that will touch every function in every organization Healthcare is broken, fragmented, and frustrating, and AI is the first technology with the potential to fix all three at once Legacy modernization must come before AI adoption because you cannot layer intelligence on top of broken processes AI can now reverse engineer legacy systems that used to depend entirely on tribal knowledge The five pillars of AI transformation are strategy and engineering, legacy modernization, data, process reengineering, and physical AI Training AI on your own private data is the competitive wedge that separates leaders from followers Agents are the new team members, and organizations need to rethink how humans and agents orchestrate workflows together Infosys acquired Optimum Health IT, the number one-ranked Epic implementation partner according to KLAS, to deepen its provider capabilities Epic now covers an estimated 220 to 230 million distinct patients in the US and is growing internationally The Pacesetters podcast and annual executive gathering bring together CIOs, CTOs, academics, and analysts for candid, off-the-record dialogue about the future of healthcare A Little About Venky Ananth: Venky is a technology and transformation executive with deep experience leading a global business unit, scaling high-performance organizations, and delivering large-scale change through AI, cloud, and modern growth operating models.

In this episode of the AI at Health series on The Beat Podcast, host Sandy Vance sits down with Vadiraj Guttal, VP and Business Head for Infosys Helix, for a thoughtful and candid conversation about why health plans are still stuck in batch processing, what it actually means to be cloud native versus just cloud hosted, and how a platform-centric approach is delivering two to three times the improvement that incremental fixes never could. With Helix now six-plus years in the making, Vadiraj brings a grounded, practitioner's perspective to one of the most complex transformation challenges in healthcare today. If you are a health plan executive trying to reduce administrative costs, modernize operations, and prepare for an AI-driven future, this episode is essential listening. In this episode, they talk about: Most health plans moved to the cloud without actually taking advantage of what the cloud can do Batch processing is still the norm in healthcare, and it is the root cause of most administrative delays Platform-centric thinking means cloud-native architecture, reusable data, event-driven workflows, and composability Provider credentialing that takes two to three months today could be reduced to one week with the right platform Helix targets a 40% reduction in IT operations costs and a 50 to 60% reduction in workflow fallouts True digital-native health plans do not exist yet, and that is exactly the gap Helix is built to close Tier two and tier three health plans without large digital transformation budgets are the ideal Helix candidates The next big challenge is using AI at scale in production while keeping outcomes deterministic, not probabilistic A Little About Vadiraj: Senior Health-tech and IT Consulting professional with 23+ years of experience in software development, project management, sales, and delivery of strategic consulting engagements, product and solution development for the payer segment of US healthcare.

In this episode of the Cybersecurity at Vibe series on The Beat Podcast, host Sandy Vance sits down with Shreesh Bhattarai, Director of HITRUST at A-LIGN, for a candid and practical conversation about one of the most misunderstood topics in healthcare cybersecurity. With nearly a decade of experience building one of the highest-volume HITRUST assessment practices in the market, Shreesh breaks down the difference between checking a compliance box and actually being secure, walks through the three levels of HITRUST certification, and shares what organizations need to do right now to prepare for an AI-driven future. Whether you are just starting your compliance journey or managing nine certifications with a team of five, this episode has something for you. In this episode, they talk about: Compliance is the baseline, not the finish line, and treating it as a once-a-year exercise is a serious mistake The biggest risk in compliance is not failing the audit, but passing it while still being insecure HITRUST has three certification levels: E1 (crawl), I1 (walk), and R2 (marathon) Organizations should choose the certification that matches their risk profile, not just go for the biggest one The best audits are boring because everything is already embedded in day-to-day operations HITRUST's "audit once, report multiple times" approach eliminates duplicative work across frameworks AI governance plans are no longer optional; shadow AI is a real and growing risk HITRUST now offers an AI cybersecurity assessment to help organizations put guardrails around AI use A Little About Shreesh: Shreesh Bhattarai is Director and HITRUST Practice Lead at A-LIGN, where he works at the intersection of cybersecurity assurance, regulatory pressure, and business growth. Since 2017, he has led more than 500 HITRUST certifications and assessments across healthcare, digital health, and high-growth technology organizations. Shreesh partners directly with CEOs, CISOs, and executive teams navigating increasing scrutiny from regulators, customers, and third parties. He is known for challenging the “check-the-box” compliance mindset and reframing HITRUST as a strategic trust mechanism — one that strengthens security posture, accelerates enterprise sales, and reduces third-party risk friction. He leads a national team of security professionals within A-LIGN's HITRUST practice and regularly speaks on the evolution of compliance in healthcare at forums including ViVE, Health and HITRUST Collaborate. Prior to A-LIGN, he was part of the audit practice at Ernst & Young, focusing on SOX 404 and SOC engagements.

In this episode of the Interop Now at Vibe series on The Beat Podcast, host Sandy Vance sits down with Adam Luff, VP of Product Solutions at Infor, and Jesse Evans, Product Director for Infor FHIR Services, for a deep and practical conversation about why semantic interoperability is the make-or-break factor for AI in healthcare.  With decades of experience between them, Adam and Jesse explain why organizations that skip the data normalization step are building on a foundation that will eventually collapse. From prior authorization workflows to longitudinal patient records, this episode is essential listening for any healthcare leader who wants to understand what AI-ready infrastructure actually looks like. In this episode, they talk about: AI cannot make sense of data that is not semantically normalized Integration wires things up; interoperability makes the data actually usable A single patient can exist under multiple names and identifiers across dozens of systems FHIR is not a replacement for HL7, it is the latest version of the HL7 specification Poor data quality in EHRs is the rule, not the exception, even at well-resourced organizations Event-driven architecture enables prior authorization workflows to run with no human intervention Infor's longitudinal patient record viewer pulls data from up to 70 archival systems into one normalized view The FHIR server is becoming the source of truth, replacing the EHR as the authoritative record Bed turnover and discharge workflows are where providers are capturing real, measurable ROI right now A well-governed, normalized data platform unlocks an almost unlimited number of AI use cases A Little About Adam and Jesse: Adam Luff has been with Infor for six years and has spent about 20 years in the provider space. Before Infor, he worked at a company that manufactures large MRI and CT machinery. He focuses on business impact with provider organizations. Jesse Evans has been at Infor for about 10 years, first as a Principal Solutions Architect and now as Product Director for Infor FHIR Services. He has been in the healthcare enterprise industry for about 20 years, with deep expertise in integration engines, interoperability, and FHIR standards.

This was a fun podcast and is going out on both the Energy News Beat channel and the Crude Truth Podcast Channel with Rey Trevino. Former Prime Minister Liz Truss is a breath of fresh air, and I really enjoyed her answers, and Rey hit it out of the park with some great questions as well.We confirmed some key points I have been making: the British deep state has not had the United States' back. PM Truss drives home the fact that Net Zero costs more money and is a method of deindustrialization and control. By moving all of the jobs to China and electrifying everything, the consumers are the losers.The similarities of California, New York, and the UK are frightening. We hope to be a resource for PM Truss as she is trying to save her country.1. British Economy & Energy PolicyLiz Truss discusses the UK's economic challenges, arguing that deindustrialization and over-reliance on renewable energy have driven up energy costs and harmed economic growth. She advocates for alternative energy strategies including fracking, removing windfall taxes on North Sea oil and gas, and positioning Britain as a net energy exporter.2. Climate vs. Economic PrioritiesA central theme is the tension between climate change policies and economic interests. Truss contends that the current government has prioritized climate objectives at the expense of citizens' economic wellbeing, and calls for a rebalancing of these priorities.3. UK-US Political ComparisonsThe discussion draws parallels between left-wing ideological influence in both countries, with references to figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Truss praises Trump's "America First" energy approach and suggests the UK needs a similar policy revolution.4. Geopolitics & Energy SecurityTopics include Iran's destabilizing role in the Middle East, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and the need for stronger UK-US alignment on energy security and confronting geopolitical threats.5. Media & Public DiscourseTruss criticizes mainstream UK media for insufficient coverage of green energy policy consequences and advocates for alternative media platforms and podcasts to amplify diverse viewpoints.Ten Years to Save the West!Check out her book: https://a.co/d/0e4Z71EmShout out to Reese Energy Consulting https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Get your CEO on the #1 Energy Podcast in the United States: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/media/Is oil and gas right for your portfolio? https://energynewsbeat.co/invest/
