In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Alex Waddell, Chief Information Officer at Adobe Population Health, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy live from Dreamforce in San Francisco for a deep dive into AI adoption in one of the most highly regulated—and most impactful—industries: healthcare.Alex shares his unconventional journey from Salesforce administrator to CIO, and how Adobe Population Health built a custom electronic medical record (EMR) on the Salesforce platform to support population health case management long before it became an industry buzzword. The conversation explores why traditional EMRs often get in the way of care—and how AI can help remove friction so clinicians can focus on patients, not paperwork.Together, Boaz and Alex unpack how AI is being applied today to reduce clinician burnout, automate documentation, improve quality assurance, and deliver the right data at the right time. Alex also explains why “augmented intelligence,” not full automation, is the future of healthcare—and why humans will always remain at the center of care delivery.The episode closes with a thoughtful discussion on AI adoption, clinician trust, and why involving end users directly in building AI workflows is essential for success.This episode is a must-listen for healthcare leaders, technologists, and operators who want to understand how AI can drive real-world outcomes—not just efficiency metrics.Key Themes & TakeawaysWhy population health required building a custom EMR from scratchThe hidden cost of documentation and clinician burnoutHow AI can get “the system out of the way” of patient careUsing AI for chart summarization, note generation, and QA auditsOvercoming fear and resistance to AI in regulated environmentsWhy adoption—not technology—is the real challengeThe future of healthcare as augmented intelligenceChapters[00:00] Welcome & Live from Dreamforce[01:30] Alex Waddell's Journey: From Admin to CIO[03:39] Building a Custom EMR for Population Health[05:45] Data, Interoperability, and MuleSoft[06:45] Reducing Clinician Burnout with AI[08:24] Voice, Automation, and the Future of Admin Work[09:30] Using AI for Quality Assurance at Scale[10:49] AI's Real Impact on Patient Outcomes[12:20] “Augmented Intelligence” and the Future of Work[14:00] Adoption, Trust, and Bringing Clinicians Along[16:00] Learning More & Closing ThoughtsEpisode Quote“An EMR doesn't change lives.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Cedric Bertelli, founder of the Emotional Health Institute, discusses his methodology, Emotional Resolution (EMRS), which addresses emotional imprints through somatic neuroscience. Inspired by his grandfather's resilience post-WWII, Cedric developed EMRS to help individuals resolve emotional patterns by feeling physical sensations without control. He explains that the brain predicts emotions based on past experiences, often rooted in trauma, and EMRS allows these predictions to play out naturally, updating the brain's response.   For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/cedric-bertelli    Highlights from today's episode include:  Emotions are outdated predictions: Debilitating emotions are often outdated predictions from the brain, triggered when current stimuli resemble elements from past traumatic moments. The body then recreates old physical sensations (interoception), even when they're no longer relevant. Resolution by fully feeling sensations (90 seconds) : If a person can safely stay with the raw physical sensations of an emotion—without trying to regulate, fix, or control them—the interoceptive wave naturally completes within about 30–90 seconds, and the brain updates its prediction, so the same stimulus no longer triggers that reaction. Stop building stories; stay with the body: Manon emphasizes the importance of not creating or feeding mental stories about what we feel. By witnessing the emotion innocently and staying with the body's sensations rather than the narrative, we allow real resolution instead of reinforcing the pattern.   ABOUT CEDRIC BERTELLI: Cedric Bertelli is the founder of the Emotional Health Institute and co-developer of Emotional Resolution® & EmRes®, a somatic, neuroscience-based approach for resolving emotional imprints. Before dedicating himself to emotional health, Cedric spent more than a decade in the hospitality industry, including leadership roles with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where he developed a deep understanding of human behavior and service. Over the past 15 years, he has trained practitioners across the world, guided thousands of clients, and partnered with researchers at UCLA and UCSF to advance the scientific foundations of EmRes. His work focuses on making emotional healing simple, effective, and accessible so people can live with greater clarity, ease, and resilience. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to help people reconnect with their natural capacity to resolve emotional pain. Not to manage it, not to suppress it, and not to build workarounds around it — but to truly resolve it at the physiological level so they can live with more freedom, presence, and ease. –  Facebook |  Instagram |  Website | LinkedIn | YouTube |   ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, RBHT, FCAH: As a retired Naturopath 1992-2021, I saw an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

The Big Unlock · Jonathan Bush, Founder & CEO, Zus Health In this episode, Jonathan Bush, Founder & CEO of Zus Health, shares a bold vision for the next phase of healthcare transformation. Drawing on decades of experience, Jonathan argues that while EHR adoption is largely complete, today's systems remain fee-for-service–oriented, creating fragmented views of patients – what he describes as the “blind men and the elephant” problem. The result: clinicians still lack a complete, longitudinal picture of the patient and rely on repeated tests and “bags full of records.” Jonathan explains how Zus Health is re-architecting healthcare data by creating a longitudinal, always-on common patient record. Zus is an API-first platform built on an AI-enabled backbone that aggregates, structures, and continuously updates data across multiple EMRs. He emphasizes the power of network effects, where shared intelligence can eliminate redundant tests and unnecessary care. The conversation also explores why interoperability must move beyond regulatory compliance to become core infrastructure for value-based care, and how AI-driven summarization and agentic workflows can reduce clinician burden while enabling proactive, patient-centered care.

About Ben Forrest:Ben Forrest is the CEO of Olio, a care coordination technology company focused on improving collaboration among payers, health systems, and post-acute providers for the most complex patients. With a 14-year background in the medical device industry, Ben saw firsthand how fragmented workflows and siloed care settings created barriers to quality and efficiency—an insight that led him to build Olio. Under his leadership, the platform now enables real-time engagement across hundreds of care sites, helping organizations reduce administrative burden, improve outcomes, and better manage medical spend. Ben is dedicated to bringing modern software, thoughtful workflows, and emerging AI capabilities to one of healthcare's most persistent challenges: truly connected care.Things You'll Learn:Care coordination is deeply fragmented, especially for complex patients moving across hospitals, skilled nursing, home health, behavioral health, and other community settings.Olio's platform connects payers, health systems, and post-acute providers in one shared workflow, enabling daily engagement and reducing administrative burden.Better downstream provider engagement directly improves outcomes and lowers costs, especially in Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, ACO, and bundled payment environments.Scaling coordination statewide requires more than EMRs; it requires workflow technology that ensures transparency, accountability, and consistent communication across 100+ care sites.Economics drive engagement: care coordination intensity increases where organizations hold risk or face pressure to manage total medical spend.The future of AI in care coordination is still emerging, and smart companies will focus on doing one operational problem exceptionally well before expanding.Payers will face mounting pressure to reduce medical spend, making true care coordination, not just better authorization practices, a strategic necessity.Olio was born from the realization that healthcare excels at delivering care in silos but struggles when patients move between settings, especially under value-based models.Resources:Connect with and follow Ben Forrest on LinkedIn.Follow Olio on LinkedIn and discover their website.

Visit http://ryzehealth.com/BootstrapMD today and see how simple running your practice can be. ______________ In this episode of BootstrapMD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming opens up about the breaking point that forced him to ask for help. Bad location, useless equipment, $5,000 Valpak disasters, and exactly one patient looking for free advice  until one desperate phone call to a mentor turned everything around. From avoiding the crushing "stupid tax" and compressing years into months, to getting ruthless accountability, emotional support through the lows, real-world playbooks no CME ever teaches, instant network expansion, burnout prevention, borrowed confidence, and staying ethical while scaling — Mike proves mentorship isn't optional for physician entrepreneurs. It's the difference between surviving and thriving. If you've ever thought "I'm a doctor I should be able to figure this out alone," this episode is your wake-up call.   Three Actionable Takeaways: Stop paying the "stupid tax" on your own: Find a mentor who has already lost the money and time on the exact mistakes you're about to make — wrong EMRs, useless marketing agencies, bad locations and shortcut years of expensive trial-and-error in a single conversation. Make a list today of three physicians who are 2–5 years ahead of where you want to be: Reach out and book a paid 60-minute consultation, never ask for free advice. Respect their time, get laser-focused answers, and start implementing immediately. Audit your business honestly: if you got hit by a bus tomorrow, would it survive without you? Build systems, hire replaceable team members, cut clinical hours, and create a practice that serves your life instead of chaining you to it — that's the real freedom entrepreneurship promises.  About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures.

Send us a textTransitioning EMRs can either be the upgrade that unlocks your practice's next level—or the operational nightmare that drains cash, kills productivity, and torpedoes patient experience. In this hard-hitting episode of Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Siegel demolishes the “4–6 week” implementation myth and lays out a battle-tested roadmap: a realistic 3–6 month (often 9–12 month end-to-end) plan, a 90-day parallel run, airtight data migration (HL7/FHIR/CCD/CCDA), and surgical timing for EDI/ERA so revenue doesn't evaporate mid-switch. You'll learn how to map workflows, choose features that matter (not “massaging seats”), set KPIs, avoid AI-driven compliance traps, stage go-lives during low-volume windows, and build a true stakeholder taskforce (project lead, super users, vendor coordination) with downtime contingencies and HIPAA-grade security. If you're changing EMRs in 2025–2026, this is your no-BS playbook to protect cash flow, staff, and patients—while actually improving care.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

Spine surgery sits at the crossroads of need, nuance, and noise—and few people explain that terrain better than Dr. Rod Oskouian, a high-volume neurosurgeon who has led a complex spine program and also navigated care as a patient.  Dr. Oskouian and Healthcare Bridge host, Nate Kaufman pull back the curtain on how consolidation, denials, and a flood of administrative demands reshape daily practice, why “low value” labels miss the mark, and what truly predicts safer outcomes when your back—or your future mobility—is on the line.The conversation starts with the evolution of neurosurgery from community coverage to regional referral, as smaller practices disappear and tertiary centers take on the hardest cases across multiple states. From the OR to the boardroom, Dr. Oskouian unpacks how EMRs, siloed decision-making, and repeated reorganizations increase friction (SEE NATE'S ARTICLE Nathan Kaufman: How silos undermine U.S. healthcare | HFMA). He makes a bold case for a mindset shift: treat physicians as the primary customers of health systems so they have the tools, staffing, and data to deliver better patient care. That shift informs smarter choices about enterprise tech, integrated AI, documentation, imaging, and revenue workflows that either free clinicians to practice medicine—or bury them in clicks and appeals.Kaufman and Dr. Oskouian into the data debate around spine surgery and “low value care,” exploring how Medicare billing data, coding incentives, and risk profiles can warp conclusions. He argues for outcomes that blend patient-reported measures with wearable-driven biometrics—steps, mobility, vitals, adherence—paired with honest risk adjustment for complex cases. For patients trying to choose a surgeon, they offer a pragmatic playbook: prioritize volume, fellowship-trained teams, multidisciplinary pathways, and centers that live and breathe your specific procedure. And they get personal as Dr. Oskouian recounts a severe ski accident, the authorization gauntlet he faced despite insider knowledge, and the hard lesson that navigating networks can matter as much as medical expertise.If you care about healthcare strategy, spine outcomes, physician leadership, or how to advocate for yourself when it counts, this conversation delivers grounded insight you can use.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In today's episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Laura Sutton, a family physician from Texas who has transitioned from full-time clinical practice to a dynamic career in consulting, coaching, and leadership within healthcare organizations. Dr. Sutton shares her journey from frontline family medicine into administrative roles, highlighting the unique challenges faced in both spheres — from adapting to EMRs and managing work-life balance, to navigating the delicate balance between administrative demands and patient care. Together, Dr. Sutton and Dr. Smith explore strategies for creating more sustainable clinical days, reducing administrative burdens, fostering effective team communication, and building supportive leadership structures that empower clinicians. Whether you're a clinician yearning for more time and less burnout, or a healthcare leader aiming to build thriving teams, this conversation offers valuable insights and actionable ideas for making clinical practice more sustainable for everyone. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Effective Leadership Matters: Sutton emphasized how team well-being starts with leadership—respect, transparency, and clear communication are foundational to a clinic's success. Boundaries Create Balance: She shared actionable strategies for clinicians to set boundaries between administrative duties and patient care, like physical/electronic separation and explicit policies for inbox coverage. These systems help prevent overwhelm and improve workflow. Team-Based Support Reduces Burden: Morning team huddles, warm handovers, and a buddy system for inbox management are just a few processes that can bring teams together, streamline care, and foster continuity for patients. Meet Dr. Laura Suttin: Dr. Laura Suttin is a physician, former healthcare executive, certified coach, speaker, organizational consultant, and author of The Purposeful MD-Creating the Life You Love Without Guilt. With decades of leadership experience, Laura partners with healthcare organizations to realign leadership and culture around her proprietary Compass Framework: Purpose, Connection, Empowerment, and Joy. Her work addresses burnout at its root—by transforming misaligned, fragmented cultures into high-performing environments where people thrive, outcomes rise, and the business bottom line improves. Laura's clients stop chasing short-term burnout fixes and instead build resilient, sustainable healthcare systems—where engagement grows and both people and performance flourish.

Welcome to another insightful episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast! I'm your host, Pat Iyer, and today we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful tools in the legal nurse consultant's arsenal: the medical record audit trail. With my guest, seasoned nurse practitioner and legal nurse consultant Amy Puls, we're diving deep into how audit trails unravel key facts hidden beneath the surface of electronic medical records (EMRs). If you've ever wondered how attorneys and LNCs can truly dig into the timeline of events in a patient's medical care, this episode is for you. Throughout our discussion, Amy shares real-world stories where audit trails were game-changers—including multimillion-dollar settlements and cases where critical facts came to light only because an expert knew where to look. We explore why getting an audit trail early in a case can make all the difference, the various types of audit trails, and what to ask for when requesting this vital data. Plus, Amy reveals tips on dealing with common defense pushbacks, the importance of proper formatting (hint: always ask for Excel!), and why audit trail expertise is a growing subspecialty for legal nurse consultants. Tune in as we demystify audit trails, provide actionable strategies for both plaintiff and defense teams, and highlight how trained professionals like Amy can spot the “missing pieces” others might overlook. By the end of this episode, you'll appreciate the indispensable role audit trails play in medical malpractice litigation and understand the immense value trained LNCs bring to the table. What you'll learn in this episode on The Hidden Power of Audit Trails in Legal Nurse Consulting Check out this podcast to get these answers: What is an audit trail in the context of electronic medical records, and why is it such a powerful tool in legal cases? How can legal nurse consultants and attorneys use audit trails to uncover discrepancies or hidden actions within medical records? What are some examples of real-life cases where information from an audit trail significantly impacted the outcome of litigation? What challenges might attorneys and consultants face when requesting and receiving audit trails from healthcare facilities?

Send us a textMost of us go to the doctor, get labs drawn, maybe even have a scan — and then never see the full picture of our own health. That's changing.In this episode of The Daily Apple, Kevin talks with Travis Bond, founder of Bio Insights, about the future of electronic medical records (EMRs) and why they're not just for doctors. EMRs are becoming the backbone of how patients can actually see, understand, and act on their health information.This isn't a tech episode for physicians. It's a conversation about how you can be more connected, informed, and in charge of your own health journey. From making sure your care team is on the same page, to finally having your results and history in one place, EMRs are making it possible to move from confusion to clarity.In this episode:Why electronic medical records matter for patients, not just providersHow EMRs make it easier to track your own progress over timeThe difference between “data overload” and “actionable information”How a more connected record leads to better conversations with your doctorWhat the future looks like when patients actually own their health storyIt's not about replacing your doctor. It's about having the tools to understand what's happening — and make decisions with confidence. Prime Health Associates

Episode 197: Continuous Glucose MonitoringWritten by William Zeng, MSIII, and Chris Kim, MSIII. University of Southern California.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Will: IntroToday we're exploring Continuous Glucose Monitoring, or CGM. We'll break down what CGM is, who benefits, how to access it, options available for our patients, the pros and cons, and a few final reflections on where this technology is heading. Chris, So what is CGM?Chris:Continuous glucose monitoring refers to the use of a small wearable sensor placed just under the skin to track glucose levels in real time throughout the day and night. These sensors measure glucose in the interstitial fluid and transmit readings to a receiver or smartphone at regular intervals, allowing for 24/7 glucose trend tracking. Will:CGM has been shown to improve glycemic control, increase “time in range,” and reduce hypoglycemia. Let's review some evidence.Chris:A 2023 meta-analysis published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics reported a mean Hemoglobin A1c reduction of 0.43% across multiple trials. Will:In people with Type 1 diabetes, the IMPACT and DIAMOND studies showed sustained improvement in Hemoglobin A1c and hypoglycemia reduction over 6–12 months. CGM use in insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes patients also resulted in significant benefits, including reduced variability and fewer severe glucose excursions. Chris:Clinically and economically, CGMs help prevent long-term complications such as cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, and retinopathy. Chris, What patients specifically benefit the most from CGM?Will: CGMs are most commonly indicated for people with Type 1 diabetes and for those with Type 2 diabetes who are using intensive insulin regimens—typically defined as multiple daily injections or insulin pump therapy. Chris:And what are the qualifications in order to be covered by insurance?Will:In the United States, Medicare covers CGM as durable medical equipment for qualifying patients, and coverage requires a prescription, documentation of insulin use, and regular follow-up. Most major private insurers—including Blue Cross, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Kaiser—follow similar guidelines. Coverage is generally granted for patients with Type 1 diabetes or insulin-requiring Type 2 diabetes who monitor glucose at least four times daily or use an insulin pump. Chris:Some plans require demonstration of hypoglycemia unawareness or frequent glucose variability. For patients not on insulin, OTC CGMs may be an option, but coverage is typically not provided. That said, new FDA decisions are allowing over-the-counter access to CGMs like Abbott's FreeStyle Libre and Dexcom's Stelo, expanding availability for lifestyle or preventive purposes.Will:[There are a lot of products on the market. Which are the main products and how are they different?]Chris:The three main players in the CGM space are Dexcom, Abbott (FreeStyle Libre), and Senseonics (Eversense), each with unique offerings.Let's start with Dexcom. Dexcom G7 is a real-time CGM system approved for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It combines a sensor and transmitter into one compact wearable patch worn on the abdomen or upper arm for up to 10 days. It updates glucose readings every 5 minutes and connects directly to a smartphone or Apple Watch via Bluetooth. Dexcom also integrates with insulin pumps like Tandem's t:slim and the Omnipod 5. Data can be shared with providers through Dexcom Clarity, which integrates into electronic medical records (EMRs) like Epic. OTC access is not yet available for DEXCOM G7, but a new non-prescription product called Dexcom Stelo is being rolled out in 2025, targeting non-insulin-using Type 2 patients. Dexcom Stelo will also offer 15-day wear, smartphone integration, and factory calibration. The estimated OTC cost for Dexcom Stelo is expected to be around $99 for a 15-day sensor, or about $198/month.Will:$200! Abbott FreeStyle Libre comes in several versions. The Libre 2 offers 14-day wear and requires users to scan the sensor with their smartphone or reader to retrieve a glucose value. It has optional real-time alarms for high and low readings and transmits data to LibreView, which can integrate with most EMRs. Libre 3 is a real-time CGM with 1-minute interval updates, Bluetooth transmission, and a slimmer profile. Libre sensors are widely used in primary care and available OTC for non-insulin users. Libre 2 sensors cost approximately $70–$85 for a 14-day sensor, while Libre 3 is slightly higher, around $85–$100 per sensor—totaling about $140–$200/month out of pocket without insurance.Chris:Senseonics Eversense E3 is the only implantable CGM on the market. It involves a minor in-office procedure to insert the sensor under the skin of the upper arm, which lasts up to 180 days (and a newer version, Eversense 365, lasts up to one year). A removable transmitter worn on top of the skin sends data every 5 minutes to a mobile app and vibrates for alerts. It requires 1–2 calibrations per day using a traditional fingerstick meter. It integrates with Eversense DMS software for physician monitoring. The total cost for Eversense depends on the insertion procedure and insurance, but cash pay for the full 6-month system is estimated at $2,400–$3,000, or about $400–$500/month including follow-up visits.Will:Additional lower-cost CGMs such as the Medtrum A6 TouchCare are available internationally and in select U.S. pilot programs. These devices offer 14-day wear, smartphone syncing, and daily calibration, but are not yet FDA-approved for wide use and lack full EMR integration.Chris:In terms of performance and value, Dexcom G7 offers the most advanced real-time feedback and integration, making it ideal for those on insulin pumps or needing tight control. Will:FreeStyle Libre offers the best affordability and convenience, especially for non-insulin users or those who prefer not to deal with constant alerts. Eversense offers a niche but compelling option for people who want to avoid frequent sensor changes. Chris, [Are there any downsides or risks that patients should be aware of before trying out CGM?]Chris:CGMs are generally safe and well-tolerated, but they do have limitations. Dexcom G7 has a known failure mode where sensors sometimes fail prematurely, often before the full 10-day duration. Some users have reported “signal loss” errors or random disconnections, especially when switching between phone models or operating systems. There are occasional reports of inaccurate highs or lows due to compression during sleep or dehydration. Though the G7 is factory-calibrated, abrupt changes in hydration or blood flow can affect its readings.Will:FreeStyle Libre systems, particularly Libre 2, require the user to scan the sensor to retrieve data unless alerts are enabled. These devices may be affected by vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which can falsely elevate glucose readings, and they do not currently allow for automated insulin delivery integration. Some Libre 2 users have noted adhesive-related rashes or spontaneous detachment. Libre 3, while more advanced, still may lose Bluetooth connection intermittently, particularly if the phone is out of range or the app is not running in the background.Chris:Senseonics Eversense carries procedural risks due to its implantable nature. Minor scarring or infection at the insertion site has been reported. The transmitter must be worn during waking hours to provide alerts, and users report anxiety over losing the transmitter since data logging is interrupted without it. Calibration is still required, which adds to daily tasks. Additionally, the sensor does not communicate with insulin pumps or closed-loop systems.Will:All CGMs can cause mild skin irritation from adhesive, particularly in users with sensitive skin. Alert fatigue is another consideration, as frequent low- or high-glucose warnings may cause stress or lead users to silence notifications entirely. Finally, relying solely on CGM without periodic fingerstick confirmation in symptomatic scenarios can be a risk, especially during rapid glucose changes.Chris:Conclusion[***] Continuous glucose monitors have reshaped the way we manage diabetes, offering unprecedented insight into glucose trends, diet responses, and insulin timing. While CGMs are not flawless, the technology continues to evolve. Will: If your patient is on insulin or struggling with glucose variability, consider whether CGM is right for your patient. For those not using insulin, consider newer OTC options like FreeStyle Libre or Dexcom Stelo, which offer accessible entry points without the need for prescriptions. As AI integration, longer sensor life, and non-invasive monitoring enter the market, CGM will only become more useful.Dr Arreaza: Personal experience with CGMs. I do not have diabetes, but I have a strong family history of diabetes (including father, 2 grandmas, and about 15 uncles, aunts, and cousins.)I wanted to try it so I could teach my patients about CGM. My first experience was with Freestyle Libre 2: Pros: Painless placement, easy to use, scanning with phone was easier than fingersticks.Cons: Required some assembling to be placed, mild discomfort at night, and nighttime alarms.Dexcom G7:Pros: No need for scanning, feels more stable in your armCons: High readings (had to calibrate for a more accurate reading)Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Ronn Berrol to unpack how a single hospital pilot became a 21-site success story—not by replacing Epic, but by solving the one thing it couldn't do well: surfacing the right data, at the right time, for the right patients. We dove deep into how high-risk patients can be flagged before they escalate into crisis, and how real-time data sharing across emergency departments can dramatically reduce admissions and improve flow. And the secret ingredient? A clinician champion who didn't wait for a committee to say yes—he created momentum from the floor up.1.Don't Confuse Your EHR with Strategic Insight Tools Dr. Ronn shared how even the best EMRs like Epic can bury clinicians in data. What made a difference wasn't more information—but surfacing the right information at the right time for high-risk patients.2.Champions Create Change, Not Systems Alone Technology alone didn't earn trust. It was the clinicians—like Ronn—who piloted it, saw value, and advocated upward that drove full-scale adoption across 21 hospitals.3.Pilot First, Scale Fast—But Only When It Works Many hospitals hesitate to adopt new solutions unless a clear ROI is shown early. That's why the original pilot funded by a hospital foundation was a turning point.4.Care Coordination Starts Before the Crisis With tools that flag social risks, housing instability, or medication lapses—this platform helped avoid ER boarding by addressing patients' needs before they spiraled.5.Modern Innovation Means Cross-Hospital Collaboration Emergency departments often operate in silos. But the real breakthrough came from sharing real-time patient data across unaffiliated EDs.6.You Don't Need to Solve Everything—Just What Others Miss What made this solution a win wasn't trying to replace Epic—it filled the critical gap Epic couldn't: surfacing actionable insights, fast.Have you ever been the “first yes” that helped an innovation take off in your org?Episode Timeline: 00:01:56 - How piloting EDO began through visibility gaps in local EDs.00:03:51 - Clinical inefficiencies and the importance of care pathways.00:05:50 - Workflow improvements reduced boarding and increased capacity.00:07:53 - How a charitable foundation funded the pilot despite cost concerns.00:09:37 - Dr. Ron contrasts EDO vs Epic and explains its push-not-pull advantage.00:11:17 - EDO pushes key info in 30-45 seconds vs long EHR chart reviews.00:13:42 - How EDO helps solve new CMS and system-wide goals.00:17:26 - Dr. Ron expands on how lack of access causes overreliance on EDs.00:21:48 - Key takeaway #1: EHR ≠ strategic insight tool.00:22:17 - Key takeaway #2: Clinician champions drive change.00:22:31 - Key takeaway #3: Pilot first, scale fast.00:22:47 - Key takeaway #4: Coordinate care before crisis.00:23:13 - Key takeaway #5: Share data across hospitals.00:23:30 - Key takeaway #6: Fill the gap, don't replace the system.

When Amee Devani watched her mother battle colorectal cancer in Kenya, she witnessed firsthand the stark reality of healthcare inequity. That experience would reshape her entire career trajectory—from investment banking at UBS to founding a digital health startup that's revolutionizing how hospitals manage post-acute care. "I faint when they take my blood," Amee admits with characteristic candor. Yet today, as CEO and Co-founder of WellBeam, she's tackling one of healthcare's most persistent problems: the black box of care that swallows patients after hospital discharge. This conversation with host Laurie McGraw reveals how a chance meeting on a Stanford cycling training ride led to a partnership that's now bridging the dangerous gap between acute and post-acute care. Amee and her co-founder Pascal—both Kenyans who met thousands of miles from home—shared more than a homeland. They shared mothers fighting cancer and a determination to fix a broken system. What started as rejected startup ideas in Stanford surgeons' offices evolved into WellBeam after one crucial conversation with pancreatic surgeon Dr. Brendan Visser. His frustration was clear: exceptional inpatient care followed by total blindness once patients left the hospital. Fax machines. Phone tag. Patients bouncing back to the ER before anyone knew there was a problem. Now, WellBeam serves as the critical infrastructure connecting hospital EMRs with home health, hospice, and skilled nursing facilities. The result? A 20-30% reduction in readmissions and millions in recovered revenue for physicians doing work they couldn't previously bill. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Amee also discusses: The unexpected value of "having too much fun" at Cambridge and how it shaped her leadership approach Why she left the prestige of investment banking and consulting to work out of a shoebox office in London How catching the "startup bug" at Pavegen prepared her for the healthcare innovation journey The importance of building a village of mentors, especially as a female founder in healthcare Why healthcare's biggest problems aren't glamorous—and why that's exactly where innovation is needed Navigating slow healthcare sales cycles while maintaining startup momentum Leading as a new mother and CEO: ruthless prioritization and trusting your team Chapter Markers 00:54 - Introduction & Background 04:17 - The Stanford Connection & Finding a Co-founder 07:13 - WellBeam's Origin & Solution 11:28 - Business Model & Market Approach 14:06 - Leadership as a Female CEO & New Mother 21:39 - Advice for Aspiring Female Founders Guest & Host Links Connect with Laurie McGraw on LinkedIn Connect with Amee Devani on LinkedIn Connect with Inspiring Women Browse Episodes | LinkedIn | Instagram | Apple | Spotify

While working as a biller and coder during his pre-med years, he saw how much time and money was lost to bureaucracy. Inspired by his father's straightforward trash collection business—“pay once a month, pick up once a week”—he applied the same logic to healthcare: simple, transparent, and direct. His model strips away insurance entirely, offering wholesale medications, low-cost labs, and unlimited access via calls, texts, and in-person visits—all without billing headaches. By eliminating the administrative layers that bog down traditional practice, Dr. Umbehr created a system that puts the focus back where it belongs: on the patient. The result is a more sustainable way to practice medicine that helps prevent physician burnout by allowing doctors to spend time-solving problems, not just documenting them for insurance. His practice has since expanded with partners and new locations, and he's developed tools like custom EMRs and consulting services to help others make the shift. At its core, his philosophy is simple: basic healthcare should be affordable. It is so affordable, that it's “too cheap to insure” without compromising quality.
