Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword in healthcare — it's becoming a real partner in how providers care for patients and improve everyday experiences. With rising patient expectations, limited resources, and mounting administrative complexity, hospitals and insurers alike are turning to AI to improve efficiency, communication, and satisfaction. In fact, Citi research estimates that roughly a quarter of all American healthcare spending goes toward administrative tasks — and intelligent automation could reduce that burden by nearly 30%, underscoring the enormous potential for AI to make care delivery smarter and more sustainable.But as adoption accelerates, one key question looms: Can AI truly make healthcare more human — or does automation risk depersonalizing care?In this episode of I Don't Care with Dr. Kevin Stevenson, guest Brett Kiley, Vice President of Healthcare Solutions at Ciklum, explores how artificial intelligence can elevate — rather than replace — the patient experience. Together, they discuss practical, high-impact applications of AI that improve outcomes for both patients and providers, while emphasizing that technology alone can't fix broken processes or disengaged teams.Key points of discussion…Fix the process first. AI only accelerates what's already working — it can't fix a bad workflow. Kiley stresses that organizations must repair operational inefficiencies before layering in intelligent automation.Predictive, proactive patient care. By modeling data from multiple sources, Ciklum helps healthcare organizations identify at-risk patients before issues arise, reducing readmissions and improving satisfaction.AI for empathy and efficiency. From ambient AI that automates clinical documentation to analytics that highlight emotional drivers of patient frustration, AI can empower providers to focus on care — not clicks.Brett Kiley is the Vice President of Healthcare Solutions at Ciklum, where he helps healthcare organizations design and scale AI-driven customer experience and operational strategies that deliver measurable ROI. With over 20 years at CVS Health, he led digital transformation and patient experience initiatives that lifted Net Promoter Scores from 24 to 76, drove $100M+ in EBIT impact, and reduced call volumes by nearly half. Known for his hands-on healthcare expertise and data-driven approach, Kiley now advises hospitals, insurers, and startups on turning complex systems into efficient, patient-centered experiences powered by AI.

Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that.

In this episode I'm digging into the state of healthcare in the United States: the only country in the developed world that believes health care is best delivered as a luxury product. Everywhere else, people go to the doctor when they're sick. In America, you go only if you're sick and your credit score is feeling strong. They treat hospitals like casinos: you walk in, take your chances, and hope you don't lose the house on the way out. Other nations pride themselves on how they treat the less fortunate. Americans  think of healthcare as a benefit for capitalist success. If you can't afford insurance and get sick you've been judged unworthy to live. Troyen A.

She broke glass ceilings again and again. “I remember the day Karen became CEO,” says host Laurie McGraw. “I think the world stood still for a minute. I smiled. I took notice. And so did everyone else.” The accolades poured in: Forbes Most Powerful Women, Fortune's Most Admired. But the impact went far beyond headlines. This conversation isn't just about what Karen accomplished at the top—it's about the experiences that shaped her long before she got there, and the values driving how she leads today. Like many leaders, Karen's path was forged in her beginnings. For her, those beginnings were marked by unimaginable loss: losing her mother to suicide at age 12, and just a decade later, losing the aunt who raised her. That grief left an indelible mark—a sense of urgency to fix a healthcare system she had experienced not as a leader, but as someone failed by it. That lived experience has been her North Star. From her early days in finance to leading one of the largest healthcare organizations in the world, Karen has consistently asked: What does the patient need? And how can we make it simpler?  As a leader, she learned that courage isn't a talking point, it's a practice. And sometimes, it means making a hard decision that costs you. When her tenure at CVS ended, it wasn't scandal. It wasn't a failure. It was a choice, grounded in accountability. Because real leadership isn't just about celebrating the wins—it's about owning the moments that hurt. Now in a chapter of reinvention, Karen is clear: she's not stepping back, she's stepping into purpose. From helping future CEOs find their voice, to launching a women's leadership institute, to urging healthcare leaders to rebuild public trust before it's too late, she is focused on impact over position. The title may be different. The mission is not. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Karen also speaks about: What would healthcare look like if we designed it around the patient? Can simplicity heal what complexity has broken? How do we rebuild public trust in healthcare—and what happens if we don't? How can we better prepare the next generation of women leaders? Is technology the single most powerful lever for healthcare transformation? What does it take to navigate reinvention with optimism, purpose, and grace? Thank you Karen Lynch.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos la nueva apuesta de la compañía farmacéutica Walgreens Boots: la empresa quiere competir en este 2025 con una mayor automatización. Es un plan que lleva implementado mucho tiempo: en 2021 comenzaron las primeras pruebas. Tras dos años de expansión, Walgreens decidió parar y mejorar el servicio. Ahora se dispone en este 2025 a dar una enorme vuelta de tuerca a su negocio. ¿Para qué servirá esta apuesta por la automatización? La compañía utiliza robots para llenar miles de recetas para pacientes que toman medicamentos y con esto liberar a sus trabajadores de trabajos más repetitivos y que puedan tener más tiempo para atender a los clientes. Según declararon fuentes de la empresa a la CNBC, espera que sus 11 centros de microcumplimiento atiendan a más de 5000 tiendas para fin de año, frente a las 4800 de febrero y las 4300 de octubre de 2023. La compañía viene de un primer trimestre bastante decepcionante con su beneficio por acción. Walgreens registró una pérdida en el beneficio por acción de 31 centavos cuando el periodo anterior fue de 8 centavos. Eso sí, los ingresos de la compañía aumentaron un 7,5% y llegaron hasta los 39.000 millones de dólares. La compañía busca efectivo a largo plazo, para llevar a cabo una reestructuración. Por eso en febrero suspendió por primera vez el pago a los accionistas y también redujo la participación de 10% al 6% en la compañía de distribución de medicamentos Cencora. Esto le dio 300 millones de dólares. La compañía farmacéutica cerrará este año 1200 tiendas como consecuencia de este nuevo plan estratégico. Busca también convertirse en una empresa más especializada. Además, Walgreens lucha contra Amazon en la venta de medicamentos online. Según filtraciones, la compañía proyectaba generar en 2024 1.800 millones de dólares con la venta de fármacos, casi el 50% más que en 2023. Walgreens tampoco ha dicho cuántos medicamentos ha vendido pero sus recetas aumentaron en 2024. Tim Wentworth piensa que la compañía vencerá a Amazon. Walgreens Boots es la segunda cadena farmacéutica más grande de Estados Unidos, solo por detrás de CVS Health. Fue fundada en Chicago en 1901 y en 2014, la compañía acordó comprar el 55% de la empresa suiza Alliance Boots para formar un negocio global.

Dr. Ali Khan has spent his career at the intersection of medicine, public policy, and value-based care. He's also been at the forefront of some of the country's most innovative care delivery models—from Iora Health and CareMore to Oak Street Health and now Aetna, where he serves as Chief Medical Officer of Medicare at Aetna, a CVS Health company. In this episode, Keith Figlioli sits down with Dr. Khan for a conversation about Medicare's future—and what it will take to make the promise of better, more affordable healthcare a reality. A general internist by training, Dr. Khan's path into healthcare began with a deep curiosity about the broader systems shaping people's health. That curiosity took him from Harvard Kennedy School to the exam room to health plans and startups focused on reimagining the primary care experience for complex, underserved populations. Throughout his career, he's gravitated toward organizations trying to solve public-sector problems with private-sector solutions—building care models that prioritize trust, access, and long-term outcomes. Now at the helm of a Medicare Advantage program serving 4.2 million members, Dr. Khan brings a unique vantage point. In this conversation, he shares hard-earned lessons on care model design, what payers and providers need from each other, and why Medicare is at an inflection point. He makes a compelling case for a renewed focus on the fundamentals—not just risk adjustment or benefit design, but operational follow-through, last-mile care coordination, and culturally grounded team-based models that scale. Dr. Khan and Keith discuss: Building care models that hold up under pressure. From Iora to Oak Street, Dr. Khan has seen firsthand that delivering better outcomes at scale requires more than mission—it takes structural rigor. He unpacks four key dimensions—cultural, clinical, operational, and technological—and explains why lasting impact depends on aligning all of them. Whether it's equipping care teams to deliver in complex communities or building systems that can flex and scale, success hinges on getting the foundation right. Why affordability isn't enough—and where Medicare Advantage must go next. With over half of Medicare beneficiaries now enrolled in MA plans, Dr. Khan argues it's time to move beyond the value prop of supplemental benefits and zero-dollar premiums. The next chapter is about proving clinical excellence at scale. That means prioritizing follow-through over features—removing last-mile barriers, improving care coordination, and designing experiences people actually trust.  From transactional to transformative: the evolving role of health plans. Plans have long relied on contractual structures to drive change, but Dr. Khan believes that era is fading. To deliver on the promise of value-based care, plans must shift from passive administrators to proactive partners—investing in infrastructure, surfacing actionable insights, and enabling providers to succeed across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial populations alike. Where AI meets care delivery. Dr. Khan reflects on the potential of AI to reduce clinical variation, improve medication management, and drive better follow-up for patients—especially those with chronic conditions. But he cautions that technology alone won't move the needle. To truly unlock AI's value in Medicare, plans and providers must embed it within human-centered systems, coordinate care in real time, and ensure new tools support—not replace—the relationships that matter most. As Dr. Khan notes, we're entering a “put up or shut up” era for Medicare Advantage, where scrutiny is high and proof points matter. Yet within that pressure lies opportunity—particularly for those willing to do the unglamorous work of identifying barriers, building connective tissue, and supporting clinical teams in the trenches.

In this episode of the AI in Business Podcast, Brett Kiley, Executive Director of Customer Experience and Client Solutions at CVS Health, joins us for a compelling discussion on the evolving landscape of customer interactions. With over two decades of experience, Brett shares how CVS navigates the challenges of personalization, efficiency, and seamless service across their retail, pharmacy, and health services divisions.

Amanda Moore is a seasoned leader with extensive experience in privacy strategy, technology, and operations. She currently serves as the Senior Director of Privacy at DIRECTV, where she oversees the company's privacy program with respect to technology and operations. Prior to her role at DIRECTV, she held pivotal positions at CVS Health and AT&T leading technical and business teams. Her career started in information technology but shifted to privacy before the onset of CCPA. Amanda holds the CIPM certifications and is a OneTrust Fellow of Privacy Technology. In this episode… Many organizations invest in privacy technology expecting it to deliver instant compliance, only to find that it fails to integrate with existing tools or processes. Adoption often lags when internal teams see privacy as a barrier or when tools are implemented without clearly defined goals. Choosing privacy technology before businesses understand the specific problem they're meant to solve leads to confusion, inefficiency, and low adoption. One of the most effective ways to boost technology adoption is to start with a clear understanding of business processes and goals before introducing new privacy tech. Successful privacy programs start by mapping business processes and making small, non-disruptive backend adjustments that minimize disruption. Additionally, building internal awareness through roadshows, clear communication, and simplified privacy impact assessments helps shift perceptions and encourages teams to view privacy as a business enabler. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Amanda Moore, Senior Director of Privacy at DIRECTV, about integrating privacy technology into business operations. Amanda highlights how strong internal relationships help position privacy as a business enabler, why reframing communication to various business executives enhances support for privacy initiatives, and how measuring privacy program maturity with the use of technology provides more insight than surface-level metrics. She also discusses methods to increase adoption through internal awareness campaigns and simplified assessments, and the long-term value of reputation-building within organizations.
