Phoebe Yang is the daughter of a single-parent Chinese immigrant father who raised three daughters in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. She went to law school intending to become a law professor, until her father was diagnosed with late-stage colorectal cancer and given four months to live. That moment changed everything. From there, Phoebe built a career that spans AOL Time Warner (launching their China office), Discovery (turning around Discovery Health and doing early deals with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft when nobody else wanted them), the Obama administration's FCC, the Advisory Board Company, Amazon, and board roles at GE, Doximity, and CommonSpirit. She now teaches the business of AI at Stanford. In this episode, Phoebe talks about why healthcare is the only industry where the greatest predictor of success is tied to how well you see the human being first, what curious humility means in a board role, why Socrates feared the written word the same way we fear AI, and what it means to sit alone in a Roman church with two Caravaggio paintings all day. https://marxadvisory.com

In this episode, host Sandy Vance sits down with Aaron Patzer, the founder & CEO of Vital.io, for one of the most energizing and candid conversations in the series. Aaron built Mint.com, saved consumers $9 billion in bank fees, and then turned his attention to one of the most anxiety-inducing experiences a person can have: sitting in an emergency room not knowing what is happening.  Vital now guides 7 million patients through ER, inpatient, and urgent care visits in real time at hundreds of health systems, including Ascension, CommonSpirit, Emory, and MedStar. Aaron also shares his work on the AI Care Standard, a growing coalition of health systems and patient advocates building a framework to evaluate AI tools before they go anywhere near a patient. This one is packed with insight, sharp opinions, and genuinely important ideas. In this episode, they talk about: Vital sits on top of the EHR and guides patients through their ER or inpatient visit in real time, in plain language 65 to 70% of patients actively use Vital during their visit, one of the highest adoption rates in health tech Vital reduces leave without being seen rates by 35 to 50%, and those walkouts are worth $2,000 each, plus readmission penalties Health systems using Vital have seen up to 48 million dollars in additional top-line revenue across two hospitals Vital improves Press Ganey and HCAHPS scores by about 10 points and increases system retention by 30% Before showing any patient their doctor's notes, Vital runs 14 separate safety checks, including flags for new cancer diagnoses, pregnancy loss, and self-harm The AI Care Standard is a free, dynamic evaluation framework at aicarestandard.com that grades AI tools across 10 patient safety principles Most consumer-facing AI tools like ChatGPT cite Reddit and pop health blogs, not peer-reviewed clinical sources, and that is a patient safety problem A Little About Aaron: Aaron Patzer is Founder & CEO of Vital.io (AI-powered patient experience at 100+ hospitals), Mint.com (25m users), and five other startups. He served as Head of Product Innovation and an officer at Intuit. If you've used TurboTax, Quicken, Mint, or QuickBooks, you and 200M other people have used software he's designed. Fortune Magazine named Aaron one of the Top 40 Executives Under 40, has won 5 product design awards, and done over 600 press interviews, at one time appearing as a regular on CNBC, and writing a column for Parade Magazine. He is an angel investor in dozens of startups, including Carbon Health, Radix (now Relatient), HealthTap, and more. He holds degrees in electrical engineering & computer science from Duke, with PhD work at Princeton, and 10 patents as lead inventor, all in algorithms

Chronic care isn't failing because of strategy. It's breaking down in execution. In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, host Eric Glazer brings together provider leaders to explore a critical issue: the loss of time, attention, and clinical capacity to inefficient workflows instead of patient care. This conversation highlights how organizations are making structural changes to reduce friction, improve follow-up, and build more sustainable chronic care models.

Healthcare teams today are feeling the pressure to move beyond last-minute compliance and instead build processes that work consistently every day. That shift is especially clear in sterile processing departments (SPDs), where the Joint Commission 360 model is redefining what “survey readiness” really means. With patient safety directly tied to instrument quality—and studies consistently linking process variability to surgical risk—the stakes for getting SPD workflows right have never been higher.So what does it actually look like for SPD teams to move from reactive compliance to a culture of continuous readiness—and can they do it without burning out their staff?That's the question at the heart of this episode of ConCensis. Host Daniel Litwin sits down with Dr. Ivan Salgo, Chief Medical Officer at Censis and ASP, and Sabrina M. Ford, Market Manager of Central Sterilization at CommonSpirit. Together, they unpack how Joint Commission 360 standards are transforming SPD workflows, leadership expectations, and the role of technology in sustaining compliance—building on key themes introduced in the first part of the conversation.Top insights from the talk…From reactive to proactive compliance: Teams must embed standards into daily workflows—“stay ready so you don't have to get ready”—eliminating last-minute audit stress.Data and visibility drive accountability: Instrument tracking systems, KPI dashboards, and real-time documentation are essential for identifying gaps and sustaining performance.Culture and leadership alignment are critical: True transformation requires engagement from frontline staff to the C-suite, shifting SPD into a strategic clinical partner role.Dr. Ivan Salgo is a physician-executive and Chief Medical Officer at Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP)/Fortive, with extensive leadership experience across medical devices, life sciences, and healthcare technology, spanning R&D, clinical affairs, regulatory strategy, and commercialization. He has led breakthrough innovations—from NIH-funded research to global market leadership—including key contributions to Philips Live 3DTEE and significant growth in cardiology ultrasound, and is recognized for shaping strategy and accelerating adoption of high-impact clinical technologies.Sabrina M. Ford is the Market Manager of Central Sterilization at CommonSpirit Health, where she leads SPD strategy and operations across multiple facilities. Known for her focus on Lean principles, staff competency development, and operational discipline, Ford has been instrumental in advancing continuous readiness models within large health systems. In her role, she also emphasizes team accountability, data visibility, and standardized workflows to support consistent survey readiness and performance improvement.

For a long time, compliance in healthcare was tied to the survey cycle. Now, that model is shifting. With the introduction of Joint Commission 360, organizations are being asked to demonstrate continuous performance—not just preparedness. As patient safety comes under increasing scrutiny, The Joint Commission is moving toward an approach built on real-time data, traceability, and consistency. The stakes are high: inconsistent sterile processing practices are still linked to surgical site infections, making SPD performance a critical piece of the patient safety puzzle.If compliance is no longer about preparing for a moment but proving performance over time, how should SPD teams approach their daily workflows differently?Welcome to ConCensis. In the latest episode, host Daniel Litwin sits down with Dr. Ivan Salgo, Chief Medical Officer at Censis and ASP, and Sabrina M. Ford, Market Manager of Central Sterilization at CommonSpirit, to unpack the real-world impact of Joint Commission 360 standards. Together, they explore how this updated accreditation model moves beyond checklist compliance and into a culture of continuous readiness, data-driven decision-making, and frontline accountability.What you'll learn…How to transition from last-minute survey prep to a continuous, always-ready compliance mindset powered by real-time data.How AAMI standards and Lean principles work together to reduce variability and create consistent, high-performing SPD workflows.Why strong documentation, traceability, and reproducible processes are now essential for proving performance and ensuring patient safety.Dr. Ivan Salgo serves as the Chief Medical Officer and Vice President at Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), with extensive leadership experience across the medical device and life sciences industries. He has led innovation, clinical strategy, and commercialization efforts at organizations like Philips and Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, including driving market-leading cardiology technologies and securing major NIH-funded research initiatives.Sabrina M. Ford serves as the Market Manager of Central Sterilization at CommonSpirit, where she leads SPD teams through complex compliance environments, audits, and operational challenges. With extensive hands-on leadership experience, she brings practical insight into how standards translate into day-to-day workflows and team culture. She is known for her experience guiding teams through real-world survey readiness and operational demands.

Mark Viden is a wine lover with an English degree who never expected to end up in healthcare but always had an interest in marketing and advertising. After graduating from college, working client-side, managing a small marketing team, and moving to San Francisco, Mark had the opportunity to join Dignity Health, part of CommonSpirit Health, where he stayed for 18 years. In 2019, he was hired as Senior Vice President of Brand for CommonSpirit Health, where he now drives brand development, advertising, and digital strategies that promote growth, awareness, and consumer preference across the organization. CommonSpirit Health is a healthcare company you probably have never heard of, but with a house of brands serving over 20 million patients in 23 states, they are the 7th largest healthcare organization in the country. CommonSpirit Health was created in 2019 when two legacy healthcare systems merged. Since then, they have acquired other organizations and developed partnerships with renowned research institutions. Mark tells us his job is to connect all of these consumer-facing brands through a single brand promise, “Hello Humankindness," which communicates the organization's approach to care through kindness and connection. He is currently leading the platform's national expansion by showcasing touching moments and ensuring patients, physicians, and employees are intrinsically aware of an unyielding commitment to humanity. In this episode, Alan and Mark discuss the “Hello humankindness” brand platform, how it came about, and how it comes to life across people, practices, and communications. Mark reminds us that people enter healthcare because they have a calling, a passion, and a purpose. No one wants to think about healthcare until they need it, so CommonSpirit Health's strategy is to stay present in the subconscious, so when you do need them, they come to mind first. By focusing on the emotional connections, Mark and his team are sowing the seeds of values alignment, awareness, and trust to create category differentiation. After patents are in the door, their experience is top of mind. They have to feel like the promise that they have been served up is coming to life through the interactions and the visual cues they see. In this episode, you'll learn:How “Hello humankindness” encourages connection and improves health outcomesHow to deliver on the brand promise through in-person patient experienceHow to create category differentiation by keeping alignment of values, awareness, and trust top of mindUse cases associated with making Gen Ai more empathetic Key Highlights:[02:00] Forget Napa, we're going to Anderson Valley.[03:30] How an English major got into marketing healthcare[06:00] The 7th largest healthcare company you've probably never heard of[07:10] “Hello humankindness”[11:00] Human connection impacts health outcomes.[12:30] How the humankindness sausage is made[15:00] Found footage and real connections[15:55] The role emotion and connection play in a patient's selection of care[18:10] Technology in human connection[22:50] Working for and with smart, creative people[23:40] Advice to his younger self[24:05] Understanding and defining GenAI[24:35] Music is an important component of advertising.[27:05] The answer really is Gen Ai.Looking for more?Visit our website for links to resources mentioned in this episode and ways to connect with the guest!
