What does it really take to lead in healthcare policy and data innovation as a woman, and how do we navigate the power, pitfalls, and politics that come with it?In this episode of Straight Out of Health IT, Kat McDavitt, President of Insenna, and Lisa Bari, former CEO of Civitas Networks for Health, reflected on their personal experiences as young women in executive roles, highlighting gender-based challenges in the workplace. Kat described her transition from a female-dominated PR consultancy to a more male-centric corporate environment, where she had to adapt her communication style to be heard and recognized. She noted subtle biases, such as having her ideas repeated by men who then received credit, and observed how motherhood often placed an added burden on women's careers. Lisa, who does not have children, shared how she witnessed the “maternity tax” affect her peers and emphasized the disproportionate negative feedback that women in leadership still receive compared to men, regardless of qualifications or performance.Shifting focus, Lisa discussed her work at Civitas, a nonprofit that supports its members, primarily public health and healthcare data organizations, in navigating policy, advocacy, and data-sharing frameworks. She stressed the importance of clear messaging, coalition-building, and adaptability, especially during times of policy change. One example she gave was California's complex and siloed efforts to connect social care and clinical data through Medicaid reforms, where her team works to guide stakeholders toward more integrated solutions that serve patients better.Kat elaborated on data value and governance, pointing out that while many organizations recognize the financial potential of healthcare data, few understand the broader ecosystem of data use rights and legal limitations. She cautioned against unethical data acquisition practices and warned of the growing commoditization of health data. Both Lisa and Kat highlighted the importance of lawful and transparent data use, noting common misunderstandings about patient ownership of data in the U.S. and advocating for stronger governance and clearer contract negotiations to ensure responsible and equitable data practices.Tune in for candid reflections on gender dynamics in leadership, the complexities of healthcare data governance, and the evolving role of policy in shaping equitable health systems!

In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth and payer interoperability expert Kendra Obrist sit down with Rob Alger, SVP of Health Plan Technology at Kaiser Permanente, for a candid and sweeping conversation about payer interoperability, AI, FHIR, and the realities of health IT innovation at scale.Rob kicks things off by discussing Kaiser Permanente's unique care and coverage model, highlighting how it streamlines internal coordination and shapes investment priorities. He notes that, unlike many other health plans, Kaiser's vertically integrated structure allows for fewer administrative hurdles, particularly in areas like prior authorization.The conversation then turns to CMS-0057. While Rob acknowledges Kaiser must comply like everyone else, the regulation presents less of a lift for them due to their internal alignment. That said, both he and Kendra agree: the success of any interoperability initiative hinges on provider adoption, and that remains uncertain.Looking ahead to 2025, Rob shares Kaiser's strategic focus on simplifying healthcare experiences, especially by leveraging AI to remove friction from both clinical and administrative processes. One standout example is their ambient listening tool from Abridge, now rolled out across 40 hospitals and 600 medical offices, which is allowing clinicians to focus more on patients than keyboards. It's one of the fastest clinical tech adoptions Rob's ever seen.Naturally, the discussion shifts to FHIR. Rob puts it plainly: “FHIR is non-negotiable.” Regulatory mandates have solidified its role, but he wonders whether the industry will eventually want to use FHIR or continue reacting to policy. Kendra and Tony weigh in, noting signs of growing pull once organizations recognize the potential. They agree that multi-stakeholder efforts like Da Vinci Project and FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST) are helping to build real-world traction by solving for shared use cases.When asked why Kaiser stays engaged in these initiatives, Rob makes it clear it's about shaping standards early, staying ahead of the curve, and making smarter, future-proof decisions, especially when it comes to vendor selection.The episode then revisits AI, with Rob outlining Kaiser's guiding principles: human in the loop, bias mitigation, and responsible governance. He explains that while Kaiser isn't trying to build every tool themselves, they aim to be excellent adopters, using AI to free up clinicians and call center reps to operate at the top of their license. It's less about chatbots and more about smarter workflows, ambient data capture, and preserving session context across modalities.Data quality surfaces as a recurring theme. Kendra highlights increasing payer interest in tackling inconsistency and fragmentation. Rob acknowledges Kaiser has an edge due to its standardized EHR system, but insists no one is immune to the challenges, especially when AI is in the mix. As he puts it, “If your data's not clean, you're not going anywhere.”As a member of the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) board, Rob brings a unique perspective on industry-wide infrastructure and collaboration. He explains that CAQH, originally formed by major health plans to tackle non-competitive operational challenges, has evolved into a key player in both standards development and practical solutions like coordination of benefits and provider directories. That dual focus—advocacy and action—resonates throughout the conversation, especially as Rob underscores the importance of shared investments in foundational infrastructure that lift the entire industry.The discussion then touches more specifically on directories and the potential of shared infrastructure for non-competitive areas of healthcare. Rob emphasizes that while payers care deeply about directory accuracy, the solution likely involves more human accountability than tech alone.In closing, the trio shares their perspectives on under-discussed industry challenges. Rob flags cybersecurity as a growing threat, especially in light of recent ransomware attacks. Kendra and Tony shine a light on consent and pharmacy interoperability, two areas that, while not headline-grabbing, could unlock major gains in care coordination and equity.Rob's parting call to action? It's time for the industry to align on clinical policy. Competing on utilization rules isn't sustainable, and getting consensus on what's appropriate care could help streamline prior auth and improve patient trust.Kendra wraps by urging payers to suspend disbelief and start planning for a world where APIs and data exchange work as intended. Dream a little, and then build accordingly.

Access to quality healthcare shouldn't depend on your zip code, yet for many underserved communities, barriers remain.In this episode of Straight Out of Health IT, Christopher Kunney interviewed Christopher Cruttenden, CEO of Safety Net Connect (SNC), a company providing digital healthcare tools like eConsult to improve access to specialty care for underserved populations. SNC connects medical, behavioral, and social service providers to enhance equitable healthcare access. Cruttenden highlighted major challenges in providing equitable care, including medical and food deserts, time constraints for working families, and long wait times. He emphasized the burden on patients, especially those with chronic illnesses and other socioeconomic challenges.Regarding technology's role, Cruttenden advocated for collaborative, patient-centered solutions integrated into healthcare workflows. He noted the importance of AI in supporting physicians, particularly through AI-assisted dictation, coding support, and quality assurance to enhance efficiency. By improving access to care, reducing ER visits, and enabling timely interventions through tools like eConsult, the cascading effect leads to better patient outcomes and system-wide savings. Cruttenden also discussed the concept of Return on Value (ROV) over traditional ROI in public health.eConsult operates in regions like LA County, Colorado, and through partnerships with other providers. It facilitates remote consultations, allowing specialists to provide timely input, reducing wait times and preventing unnecessary specialist visits. Cruttenden expressed excitement about expanding the model to address Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) issues, such as smoking cessation and food insecurity. His advice for public health organizations is to embrace technology thoughtfully, focusing on its ability to improve access and patient outcomes rather than just its capabilities.Tune in to explore how innovative digital tools are transforming healthcare access and improving outcomes for those who need it most! 

In this special HIMSS25 recap episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth, CEO of Point-of-Care Partners (POCP), is joined by co-hosts Brian Bamberger, POCP's Life Sciences Lead, and Vanessa Candelora, Senior Consultant and Program Manager of the HL7 Gravity Project. Together, they break down the biggest themes from the conference, covering interoperability, artificial intelligence (AI), FHIR adoption, and the growing focus on improving data quality in healthcare innovation.HIMSS25 once again proved to be a crucial gathering of healthcare leaders, vendors, and policymakers, drawing nearly 28,000 attendees. Vanessa notes the continued focus on interoperability and trust, with a clear divide between experienced stakeholders refining their strategies and newcomers trying to grasp the fundamentals of FHIR. Brian, a HIMSS veteran, points out that first-time attendees often struggle with the complexity of both the conference itself and the discussions around health IT's latest advancements, particularly AI and its real-world applications.To add perspectives from the conference floor, Tony introduces a series of interviews with HIMSS25 attendees and industry leaders, including Anna Taylor, Associate Vice President, Population Health and Value-Based Care of MultiCare, Erin Weber, Chief Policy & Research Officer, CAQH, Mariann Yeager, CEO, The Sequoia Project, Matthew Holt, Founder/Writer of The Health Care Blog, and Lynne Nowak, Chief Data and Analytics Officer. Each interview provides insights into the real-world implementation of interoperability and FHIR, the evolving use of AI, and how data privacy and governance are shaping health IT strategy.FHIR adoption was one of the topics covered in the interviews. Some, like Mariann Yeager and Erin Weber, expressed optimism about FHIR's expanding role in clinical data exchange, while others, such as Anna Taylor, highlighted persistent scalability challenges and limited adoption for administrative functions like prior authorization. Matthew Holt offered a broader view on data exchange, arguing that while data mobility has improved, the real challenge is how organizations actually use and integrate that information. Vanessa underscores that while FHIR is gaining traction globally, large-scale implementation remains a work in progress. The panel agrees that translating theoretical frameworks into real-world adoption is the next crucial step.AI was another dominant topic, with a mix of enthusiasm and skepticism surrounding its potential. The HIMSS interviewees discuss AI's growing role in streamlining administrative workflows, summarizing patient records, and enabling ambient listening for clinical documentation. However, as Brian bluntly puts it, the “magic” of AI is still far from reality—many tools promise seamless EHR integration but lack the ability to write back into clinical systems, requiring manual intervention. Lynne Nowak and others emphasized that AI's effectiveness is directly tied to data quality—bad inputs will only lead to bad outputs. The consensus? AI has real potential to enhance workflows but cannot replace clinicians, and health IT leaders must focus on governance, usability, and ensuring AI supports, rather than replaces, human decision-making.As the conversation wraps up, Vanessa highlights the critical role of policy and strategic innovation in shaping the next wave of health IT progress. With new regulatory shifts and uncertainty around TEFCA, organizations must stay agile while ensuring that patient privacy, data integrity, and consent management remain top priorities. Brian brings the discussion back to life sciences, stressing the importance of leveraging patient insights and real-world data to drive treatment adherence and improve outcomes.HIMSS25 reinforced that while FHIR, AI, and interoperability remain hot topics, the industry is now at a critical inflection point—shifting from theory to execution. Organizations must filter out hype, focus on data quality, and build scalable solutions that improve both clinical and administrative functions.For those who couldn't attend HIMSS25 or want a deeper dive into what's next for health IT, this episode provides a comprehensive breakdown of the major takeaways.

In a world where technology has the power to transform healthcare, the digital divide continues to leave millions behind, how can we bridge the gap to ensure equitable access for all?In this episode of Straight Out of Health IT, Dr. Patty Mechael, co-founder and CEO of health.enabled, explores the digital divide in healthcare, emphasizing the challenges posed by digital determinants of health. Dr. Mechael highlights key barriers such as inadequate connectivity, limited access to devices, and significant disparities, particularly for women in low- and middle-income countries. Many digital health solutions are designed without considering diverse populations, often reflecting the perspectives of high-income countries. To bridge these gaps, a more inclusive approach is needed, one that integrates ethnographic research to ensure technology is accessible, usable, and meaningful for all individuals.Addressing these challenges requires a proactive, equity-focused strategy that goes beyond technology alone. Dr. Mechael advocates for hybrid models that combine digital solutions with community-based interventions to ensure those without digital access are not left behind. She also stresses the critical role of policymakers in driving digital transformation, noting that strong political leadership has been essential in countries that have successfully implemented digital health initiatives. By prioritizing digital health alongside broader social determinants, policymakers can create a more inclusive health ecosystem that enables equitable access to care. health.enabled plays a pivotal role in advancing digital health globally by supporting governments and organizations in strategy development and digital health monitoring. Initiatives like the Global Digital Health Monitor help countries assess and improve their digital health maturity. Dr. Mechael remains optimistic that, with intentional, equity-driven efforts, digital health can significantly enhance healthcare access and outcomes. However, she acknowledges that meaningful change takes time and requires a sustained commitment to addressing systemic inequities.Tune in as Dr. Patty Mechael explores digital health's challenges, solutions, and impact on global healthcare equity!
