Send a textHealthcare is colliding with technology faster than most people realize.In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., I sit down with analyst Rajiv Leventhal, who covers the intersection of healthcare, pharma, and tech, to unpack three forces reshaping the system at once: AI, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, and the mental health impact of digital life.We start with AI as a health tool. Nearly a quarter of ChatGPT's global weekly users now use it for health-related prompts. That's not a niche behavior. It's a mainstream one. The question isn't whether people will turn to AI for medical guidance. They already are.The real tension is trust and liability. General-purpose AI tools aren't bound by HIPAA in the same way healthcare providers are. Yet they're increasingly acting as digital concierges — answering late-night pediatric questions, explaining lab results, and helping people prepare for appointments in a system where access is strained.And that system is strained. Even in major cities, patients can wait months — sometimes a year — to see specialists. When access gaps widen, alternative tools step in. AI isn't replacing doctors. It's filling holes.We then turn to GLP-1 drugs and the weight-loss explosion. What began as diabetes treatment became a cultural and commercial wave driven by social media, FDA approvals, and aggressive advertising. But beneath the surface is a regulatory gray market of compounded versions, patent battles, and telehealth platforms monetizing demand.Finally, we tackle social media's impact on mental health. The evidence linking heavy use — especially among teens — to anxiety and depression is growing, even if causation remains complex. Is this a regulation problem? A parental problem? A public health issue? Or another example of technology moving faster than governance?This episode isn't about hype.It's about what happens when broken systems create openings — and tech companies move into the space.Because when trust erodes and access declines, people don't wait.They improvise.
Artificial intelligence is quickly entering healthcare and education, and occupational therapists are asking an important question: How can we use AI responsibly without losing the clinical reasoning that defines our profession? In this episode, Jayson Davies sits down with OT educator and researcher Tara Mansour to explore practical, ethical ways school-based OT practitioners can begin using AI tools.Tara shares how she teaches future occupational therapists to use AI as a “first draft partner” while still prioritizing evidence-based practice, professional judgment, and student-centered care. They also discuss privacy considerations, prompt strategies, treatment planning ideas, and how AI can support data collection, documentation, and intervention development.If you're curious about how AI might fit into your school-based OT workflow—or concerned about how it could impact clinical reasoning—this episode provides a thoughtful and practical perspective. Tune in to learn how AI can support occupational therapy while keeping the human clinician firmly in the loop.Listen now to learn the following objectives:— Learners will describe appropriate ways AI tools can support school-based OT practice, including treatment planning, documentation drafting, and intervention idea generation.— Learners will explain ethical and privacy considerations when using AI, including FERPA and HIPAA concerns and strategies for de-identifying student information.— Learners will identify the "human-in-the-loop" approach to AI-assisted practice, distinguishing between AI-generated versus AI-assisted work and the role of critical clinical reasoning in evaluating AI outputs.Thanks for tuning in!

AI For Practice Owners Webinar – Get Ahead in 2026 Before It's Too Late Join Mike Green (founder of Doctor Demographics, with over 40 years helping practice owners with location strategy, marketing, and growth analytics) in this live webinar recording as he reveals why AI is already reshaping non-clinical aspects of private practices — and why getting started now gives you a huge competitive edge. Most practice owners are still asking: "How will AI actually hit my practice?" or assuming it's years away or only for big corporate groups. Mike flips that script: AI will dramatically impact marketing, patient retention, customer service, social media, websites, admin tasks, and more — within the next 5 years (likely much sooner). Drawing parallels to the social media boom of the mid-2000s, he warns: "Second place is always the first loser." Early adopters win big with more time, higher revenue, and practices that practically run themselves — all without massive budgets. Mike is joined by two powerhouse guests: Eric Sorenson (international speaker, ex-practice owner, AI & marketing expert): Shares how AI acts as the "great equalizer" to escape the time-for-money trap, double your business, and build freedom. He highlights rapid advancements (business landscape changing dramatically in just 1–2 years), agentic AI, voice tools, NotebookLM for learning, HIPAA-compliant AI agents, and his RCCF prompting method. Grab his free prompt guide at prompts.platinpartnergroup.com. Kevin St. Clergy (author of Beyond Blind Blaming, practice coach & speaker): Dives into practical "vibe coding" wins — building custom tools via voice (e.g., a $100 assessment saving $10K/year), Manis AI for apps/websites, Claude.ai for copy/SOPs, Canva + AI for social graphics, and branding strategies that turn your website into fresh logos, posts, and plans. This session is packed with motivation, real examples, and actionable insights for dentists, physicians, and healthcare entrepreneurs ready to leverage AI for profitability, time freedom, and growth — while regulations slow clinical AI adoption.
In part two of our deep dive into digital privacy, Jennifer and Corey move from the "why" to the "how." While the first episode set the stage for the shifting landscape of 2026, this episode provides a practical, actionable roadmap for independent physician practices to audit their digital footprint.We discuss why most practices are accidentally exposed to risk through "off-the-shelf" website plugins and why it's time to move toward a PHI-free analytics model. This isn't about turning off your marketing; it's about recalibrating your tools to ensure that patient trust—and your legal standing—remains intact.Tune in to the episode to learn:The Audit First Step: Why you need a full inventory of every pixel, chatbot, and tracking plugin running on your site before adding anything new.High-Risk Pages: Identifying the specific areas (like condition pages, provider bios, and portal logins) where "click IDs" can inadvertently create HIPAA violations.The URL Leak: How descriptive URLs can unintentionally transmit PHI to third-party ad platforms.Consent vs. Authorization: Why a standard "accept cookies" banner does not constitute a HIPAA-compliant authorization.Safe Operating Models: Transitioning to anonymous, first-party data strategies that focus on traffic trends rather than identifiable user profiles.

Innovation occurs across many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom Fox welcomes Evan Sampson, a noted health care compliance attorney. Sampson traces his path from commercial litigation to representing healthcare practices on HIPAA/privacy and reimbursement matters, then moving in-house at a network of plastic surgery centers, where he managed compliance focused on fraud, waste, and abuse, and on evolving out-of-network billing rules leading into the No Surprises Act. Sampson explains how compliance programs can create business value beyond risk mitigation by uncovering inefficiencies and opportunities, such as identifying downcoding in medical billing and using complaint investigations to spot growth areas. He describes how his litigation background helps him anticipate how issues will unfold over time in investigations and litigation, thereby improving his credibility with business leaders. They discuss building a culture of compliance in fast-growing healthcare organizations, tracking regulatory changes across primary and secondary sources, and leveraging AI and data analytics to detect claim outliers and strengthen compliance.

Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech. In our latest episode, we share a PSA for group practice owners to address unauthorized AI use within your practice. We discuss: What we mean by governance What counts as Protected Health Information (PHI) The standard we use at PCT to determine if something is PHI Why AI tools like ChatGPT are inappropriate for PHI De-identification standards under HIPAA Ethical standards and informed consent for clinical use of AI Concrete next steps to take as a practice leader to address AI use in your practice Listen here: https://personcenteredtech.com/group/podcast/ For more, visit our website. PCT Resources: Article + 18 Identifier List: De-Identified or Not? The Truth About HIPAA, AI, and Client Data In this article, Person Centered Tech breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in HIPAA compliance: de-identification. It clarifies the difference between simply "removing identifiers" and meeting HIPAA's strict legal standards for de-identification (Safe Harbor or Expert Determination). The piece explains why narrative clinical information is often inherently identifying, why a session transcript cannot realistically be considered de-identified, and how AI systems introduce heightened risks of re-identification. It reinforces a critical takeaway for practice leaders: HIPAA sets the floor—not the ceiling—for protecting client information, and governance must keep pace with emerging technologies. PCT CE Course: Law & Ethics of the Clinical Use of Artificial Intelligence: Implications in Clinical Practice If you're wanting a deeper, structured framework for evaluating AI in clinical practice, this 3-credit legal-ethical on-demand training with Eric Ström, JD, PhD, LMHC, walks through the evolving legal standards, HIPAA considerations, and ethics code guidance that apply to AI use in behavioral health. You'll gain practical strategies for assessing new technologies, understanding emerging standards of care, and implementing AI tools in a way that is legally defensible and ethically sound. PCT CE Course: Modern Progress Notes: Considerations for Teletherapy, Insurance Audits, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) If your clinicians are feeling the pull to use AI for documentation, this 1.5-credit legal-ethical training with Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey (Hall) provides a grounded, practical framework for evaluating that decision. The course addresses how AI is currently being used in progress notes and introduces a clear thought rubric for determining the ethical risks, compliance implications, and appropriateness of integrating AI into documentation workflows. It also reinforces core documentation principles—like medical necessity and audit risk reduction—so that efficiency never comes at the expense of defensibility. A strong next step for practice leaders who want to move from reactive prohibition to thoughtful, structured governance.

Most families wait until a fall, stroke, or sudden diagnosis forces a scramble. We open up about how adult children can help parents plan early, keep control where it belongs, and avoid the most expensive and stressful mistakes—from lost capacity to long-term care surprises.We start with the heart of the matter: capacity. Once a parent can't sign, choices narrow and families face court, delays, and mounting costs. We lay out conversation starters that honor dignity and independence, then translate them into action with the documents that matter: durable financial power of attorney, health care power of attorney, HIPAA authorization, wills, and targeted trusts. You'll hear why a POA is not a loss of control but an expansion of it, and how springing language can wait until a doctor certifies the need.Then we tackle the iceberg: long-term care costs. We explain five-year lookback rules, why blind gifting backfires, and how Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts and careful titling can legally protect a home and savings. Pre-planning widens options and can save far more than crisis “spend-downs,” but we also share how skilled crisis planning can still salvage value when time is short. Along the way, we cover beneficiary designations, deed strategies, and even the rise of digital wills in North Carolina with secure, encrypted storage.Family dynamics can make or break the outcome. We stress that the parent is the client, not the child, and share the pitfalls to avoid: talking over mom or dad, forcing decisions, or sidelining siblings. To keep peace and prevent litigation, we outline five steps you can take this week: schedule a family meeting, gather account details, confirm existing documents and access, consult an elder law attorney, and revisit the plan every three to five years.If you want less chaos and more clarity, this conversation gives you scripts, tools, and a clear path to protect care choices, assets, and relationships. Subscribe, share this with your siblings, and leave a review telling us the first step you'll take today.

Hi Nurse friend, Today, we're diving into a request from one of our listeners that I know so many of you will relate to. By the way, I love when listeners request topics. You can always message me feedback on an episode, questions or requests on instagram @theshanwright or email hello@theshanwright.com She wrote: "I find I struggle with releasing sadness or tension after a tough shift because I can't really talk it out. Either HIPAA or my partner doesn't understand - so I just shove it down and move into mom role." Oh friend, if you're listening - thank you for your vulnerability. And to everyone else nodding along right now, I see you. This is so relatable!! The weight doesn't disappear just because you can't talk about it. It settles in your shoulders, your jaw, your chest. And over time, that shoving down becomes a pattern that disconnects us from ourselves, from God, and from the very people we love. Today, we're going to talk about sacred, practical ways to release what you carry - ways that honor HIPAA, honor your family, and most importantly, honor you. I have 4 ways that will care for you holistically. Would love to hear which one you will try over in our community group: Holistic Care for Nurses Shalom Shalom, Xx, Shan ……CONNECT…… Are you in burnout or just stressed?? Take the Free QUIZ

Oracle Database@AWS Architect Professional: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-databaseaws-architect-professional/155574 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, Anna Hulkower, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. ------------------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption with Customer Success Services. Lois: Hello again! We're continuing our discussion on Oracle Database@AWS and in today's episode, we're going to talk about the aspects of security and migration with two special guests: Samvit Mishra and Rashmi Panda. Samvit is a Senior Manager and Rashmi is a Senior Principal Database Instructor. 00:59 Nikita: Hi Samvit and Rashmi! Samvit, let's begin with you. What are the recommended security best practices and data protection mechanisms for Oracle Database@AWS? Samvit: Instead of everyone using the root account, which has full access, we create individual users with AWS, IAM, Identity Center, or IAM service. And in addition, you must use multi-factor authentication. So basically, as an example, you need a password and a temporary code from virtual MFA app to log in to the console. Always use SSL or TLS to communicate with AWS services. This ensures data in transit is encrypted. Without TLS, the sensitive information like credentials or database queries can be intercepted. AWS CloudTrail records every action taken in your AWS account-- who did what, when, and from where. This helps with audit, troubleshooting, and detecting suspicious activity. So you must set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail. Use AWS encryption solutions along with all default security controls within AWS services. To store and manage keys by using transparent data encryption, which is enabled by default, Oracle Database@AWS uses OCI vaults. Currently, Oracle Database@AWS doesn't support the AWS Key Management Service. You should also use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing sensitive data that is stored in Amazon S3. 03:08 Lois: And how does Oracle Database@AWS deliver strong security and compliance? Samvit: Oracle Database@AWS enforces transparent data encryption for all data at REST, ensuring stored information is always protected. Data in transit is secured using SSL and Native Network Encryption, providing end-to-end confidentiality. Oracle Database@AWS also uses OCI Vault for centralized and secure key management. This allows organizations to manage encryption keys with fine-grained control, rotation policies, and audit capabilities to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. At the database level, Oracle Database@AWS supports unified auditing and fine-grained auditing to track user activity and sensitive operations. At the resource level, AWS CloudTrail and OCI audit service provide comprehensive visibility into API calls and configuration changes. At the database level, security is enforced using database access control lists and Database Firewall to restrict unauthorized connections. At the VPC level, network ACLs and security groups provide layered network isolation and access control. Again, at the database level, Oracle Database@AWS enforces access controls to Database Vault, Virtual Private Database, and row-level security to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. And at a resource level, AWS IAM policies, groups, and roles manage user permissions with the fine-grained control. 05:27 Lois Samvit, what steps should users be taking to keep their databases secure? Samvit: Security is not a single feature but a layered approach covering user access, permissions, encryption, patching, and monitoring. The first step is controlling who can access your database and how they connect. At the user level, strong password policies ensure only authorized users can login. And at the network level, private subnets and network security group allow you to isolate database traffic and restrict access to trusted applications only. One of the most critical risks is accidental or unauthorized deletion of database resources. To mitigate this, grant delete permissions only to a minimal set of administrators. This reduces the risk of downtime caused by human error or malicious activity. Encryption ensures that even if the data is exposed, it cannot be read. By default, all databases in OCI are encrypted using transparent data encryption. For migrated databases, you must verify encryption is enabled and active. Best practice is to rotate the transparent data encryption master key every 90 days or less to maintain compliance and limit exposure in case of key compromise. Unpatched databases are one of the most common entry points for attackers. Always apply Oracle critical patch updates on schedule. This mitigates known vulnerabilities and ensures your environment remains protected against emerging threats. 07:33 Nikita: Beyond what users can do, are there any built-in features or tools from Oracle that really help with database security? Samvit: Beyond the basics, Oracle provides powerful database security tools. Features like data masking allow you to protect sensitive information in non-production environments. Auditing helps you monitor database activity and detect anomalies or unauthorized access. Oracle Data Safe is a managed service that takes database security to the next level. It can access your database configuration for weaknesses. It can also detect risky user accounts and privileges, identify and classify sensitive data. It can also implement controls such as masking to protect that data. And it can also continuously audit user activity to ensure compliance and accountability. Now, transparent data encryption enables you to encrypt sensitive data that you store in tables and tablespaces. It also enables you to encrypt database backups. After the data is encrypted, this data is transparently decrypted for authorized users or applications when they access that data. You can configure OCI Vault as a part of the transparent data encryption implementation. This enables you to centrally manage keystore in your enterprise. So OCI Vault gives centralized control over encryption keys, including key rotation and customer managed keys. 09:23 Lois: So obviously, lots of companies have to follow strict regulations. How does Oracle Database@AWS help customers with compliance? Samvit: Oracle Database@AWS has achieved a broad and rigorous set of compliance certifications. The service supports SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3, as well as HIPAA for health care data protection. If we talk about SOC 1, that basically covers internal controls for financial statements and reporting. SOC 2 covers internal controls for security, confidentiality, processing integrity, privacy, and availability. SOC 3 covers SOC 2 results tailored for a general audience. And HIPAA is a federal law that protects patients' health information and ensures its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It also holds certifications and attestations such as CSA STAR, C5. Now C5 is a German government standard that verifies cloud providers meet strict security and compliance requirements. CSA STAR attestation is an independent third-party audit of cloud security controls. CSA STAR certification also validates a cloud provider's security posture against CSA's cloud controls matrix. And HDS is a French certification that ensures cloud providers meet stringent requirements for hosting and protecting health care data. Oracle Database@AWS also holds ISO and IEC standards. You can also see PCI DSS, which is basically for payment card security and HITRUST, which is for high assurance health care framework. So, these certifications ensure that Oracle Database@AWS not only adheres to best practices in security and privacy, but also provides customers with assurance that their workloads align with globally recognized compliance regimes. 11:47 Nikita: Thank you, Samvit. Now Rashmi, can you walk us through Oracle's migration solution that helps teams move to OCI Database Services? Rashmi: Oracle Zero-Downtime Migration is a robust and flexible end-to-end database migration solution that can completely automate and streamline the migration of Oracle databases. With bare minimum inputs from you, it can orchestrate and execute the entire migration task, virtually needing no manual effort from you. And the best part is you can use this tool for free to migrate your source Oracle databases to OCI Oracle Database Services faster and reliably, eliminating the chances of human errors. You can migrate individual databases or migrate an entire fleet of databases in parallel. 12:34 Nikita: Ok. For someone planning a migration with ZDM, are there any key points they should keep in mind? Rashmi: When migrating using ZDM, your source databases may require minimal downtime up to 15 minutes or no downtime at all, depending upon the scenario. It is built with the principles of Oracle maximum availability architecture and leverages technologies like Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Guard to achieve high availability and online migration workflow using Oracle migration methods like RMAN, Data Pump, and Database Links. Depending on the migration requirement, ZDM provides different migration method options. It can be logical or physical migration in an online or offline mode. Under the hood, it utilizes the different database migration technologies to perform the migration. 13:23 Lois: Can you give us an example of this? Rashmi: When you are migrating a mission critical production database, you can use the logical online migration method. And when you are migrating a development database, you can simply choose the physical offline migration method. As part of the migration job, you can perform database upgrades or convert your database to multitenant architecture. ZDM offers greater flexibility and automation in performing the database migration. You can customize workflow by adding pre or postrun scripts as part of the workflow. Run prechecks to check for possible failures that may arise during migration and fix them. Audit migration jobs activity and user actions. Control the execution like schedule a job pause, resume, if needed, suspend and resume the job, schedule the job or terminate a running job. You can even rerun a job from failure point and other such capabilities. 14:13 Lois: And what kind of migration scenarios does ZDM support? Rashmi: The minimum version of your source Oracle Database must be 11.2.0.4 and above. For lower versions, you will have to first upgrade to at least 11.2.0.4. You can migrate Oracle databases that may be of the Standard or Enterprise edition. ZDM supports migration of Oracle databases, which may be a single-instance, or RAC One Node, or RAC databases. It can migrate on Unix platforms like Linux, Oracle Solaris, and AIX. For Oracle databases on AIX and Oracle Solaris platform, ZDM uses logical migration method. But if the source platform is Linux, it can use both physical and logical migration method. You can use ZDM to migrate databases that may be on premises, or in third-party cloud, or even within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. ZDM leverages Oracle technologies like RMAN datacom, Database Links, Data Guard, Oracle GoldenGate when choosing a specific migration workflow. 15:15 Are you ready to revolutionize the way you work?

Start learning today at mylearn.oracle.com. 15:35 Nikita: Welcome back! Rashmi, before someone starts using ZDM, is there any prep work they should do or things they need to set up first? Rashmi: Working with ZDM needs few simple configuration. Zero-downtime migration provides a command line interface to run your migration job. First, you have to download the ZDM binary, preferably download from my Oracle Support, where you can get the binary with the latest updates. Set up and configure the binary by following the instructions available at the same invoice node. The host in which ZDM is installed and configured is called the zero-downtime migration service host. The host has to be Oracle Linux version 7 or 8, or it can be RCL 8. Next is the orchestration step where connection to the source and target is configured and tested like SSH configuration with source and target, opening the ports in respective destinations, creation of dump destination, granting required database privileges. Prepare the response file with parameter values that define the workflow that ZDM should use during Oracle Database migration. You can also customize the migration workflow using the response file. You can plug in run scripts to be executed before or after a specific phase of the migration job. These customizations are called custom plugins with user actions. Your sources may be hosted on-premises or OCI-managed database services, or even third-party cloud. They may be Oracle Database Standard or Enterprise edition and on accelerator infrastructure or a standard compute. The target can be of the same type as the source. But additionally, ZDM supports migration to multicloud deployments on Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, and Oracle Database@AWS. You begin with a migration strategy where you list the different databases that can be migrated, classification of the databases, grouping them, performing three migration checks like dependencies, downtime requirement versions, and preparing the order migration, the target migration environment, et cetera. 17:27 Lois: What migration methods and technologies does ZDM rely on to complete the move? Rashmi: There are primarily two types of migration: physical or logical. Physical migration pertains to copy of the database OS blocks to the target database, whereas in logical migration, it involves copying of the logical elements of the database like metadata and data. Each of these migration methods can be executed when the database is online or offline. In online mode, migration is performed simultaneously while the changes are in progress in the source database. While in offline mode, all changes to the source database is frozen. For physical offline migration, it uses backup and restore technique, while with the physical online, it creates a physical standby using backup and restore, and then performing a switchover once the standby is in sync with the source database. For logical offline migration, it exports and imports database metadata and data into the target database, while in logical online migration, it is a combination of export and import operation, followed by apply of incremental updates from the source to the target database. The physical or logical offline migration method is used when the source database of the application can allow some downtime for the migration. The physical or logical online migration approach is ideal for scenarios where any downtime for the source database can badly affect critical applications. The only downtime that can be tolerated by the application is only during the application connection switchover to the migrated database. One other advantage is ZDM can migrate one or a fleet of Oracle databases by executing multiple jobs in parallel, where each job workflow can be customized to a specific database need. It can perform physical or logical migration of your Oracle databases. And whether it should be performed online or offline depends on the downtime that can be approved by business. 19:13 Nikita: Samvit and Rashmi, thanks for joining us today.

In 2026, the landscape of digital privacy in healthcare has shifted dramatically. It's no longer just about staying HIPAA compliant; it's about navigating a "wild west" of state-level consumer data laws, aggressive class-action lawsuits, and the end of surveillance-based marketing.In this first of a two-part series, Jennifer and Corey break down why your standard Google Analytics setup might actually be a liability and how 20 different state regulatory environments are changing the rules for healthcare marketers. We discuss the rise of a new cottage industry of privacy litigation and why "Accept Cookies" banners are no longer enough to protect your practice.Key Takeaways:The New Privacy Landscape: Why privacy is becoming a standalone regulatory category separate from HIPAA.The Google Analytics Problem: Understanding why HHS and OCR guidance suggests that tools like Google Analytics can create PHI violations simply by tracking IP addresses on condition pages.State-Specific Hazards: A look at the strict laws already on the books in Washington, Nevada, Connecticut, and Maryland.The Ambulance Chasers of Tech: How law firms are targeting practices for pixel-related tracking violations.Trust as a Commodity: Why protecting patient data from big tech is now a brand differentiator and a way to build long-term patient loyalty.
Everything in the AI space is progressing faster than any of us anticipated, and I want to show you exactly how I'm capitalizing on it. Right now, I have 14 AI agents working for me around the clock—not just chatting, but actively building a telehealth company, writing code, and managing marketing projects. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on OpenClaw, a tool that goes far beyond standard chatbots by possessing unlimited memory and the ability to take control of a computer to execute complex, long-form tasks just like a human employee. I will walk you through my exact technical setup, explaining why I run these agents on dedicated hardware like a used M1 Mac Mini rather than my main computer to ensure total security. You'll learn how I manage this digital workforce through Slack, the specific workflows I use to keep my data safe, and the real-world results I'm seeing, including the creation of a HIPAA-compliant platform. I also discuss alternative tools like Lovable.dev and Manus.im for those looking to dip their toes into agent-based workflows. This technology allows you to scale your output as if you had a 50-person team without the massive overhead. If you are ready to understand how autonomous agents can revolutionize your business operations and want a practical blueprint for getting started, you cannot afford to miss this breakdown. Check the show notes for a link to the waitlist for my upcoming beta program where I help you launch your own secure virtual employee.
In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth is joined by co-host Alix Goss and special guest Amy Gleason, Strategic Advisor to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Administrator of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Service, for a wide-ranging discussion on how health IT modernization is evolving under a pledge-driven, incentive-backed federal strategy.The conversation begins not with policy, but with lived experience.From Emergency Room to Interoperability AdvocateAmy shares how her early career as an emergency room nurse exposed the dangers of fragmented information. Providers were expected to make critical decisions without access to complete patient histories, while patients, often in pain or distress, were unrealistically asked to recall complex medical details.That professional frustration became deeply personal when her daughter went more than a year without diagnosis for a rare autoimmune disease, juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Multiple specialists saw pieces of the puzzle, but no one could see the full picture across charts and settings. Amy reflects that if today's AI tools had been applied to her daughter's complete longitudinal record, the condition may have surfaced sooner.That experience shaped her philosophy. Technology must converge with policy and trust in ways that tangibly improve care.Why Pledges Instead of Rules?Tony presses on a central theme. Amy has argued that we cannot regulate our way to success. Why pursue voluntary pledges instead of federal rulemaking?Amy explains her frustration returning to government in 2025 to find interoperability policies she helped draft in 2020 still not fully effective until 2027. Seven years is an eternity in technology. Meanwhile, the industry had technically complied with numerous mandates including Meaningful Use, Cures Act APIs and CMS interoperability rules, yet many workflows still felt broken.In her view, regulation created a floor but not always real transformation.The CMS Health Tech Ecosystem Pledge was launched as a different model. The federal government used its convening power to articulate a clear vision and challenge industry to deliver minimum viable products within six to twelve months rather than years.Initially announced with roughly 60 companies, the pledge initiative has grown to more than 600 participants collaborating in working groups. The three initial patient-focused use cases include:Improving data interoperability“Killing the clipboard” through digital identity and QR-based sharingLeveraging conversational AI and personalized recommendations for chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesityAmy describes live demonstrations at a Connectathon showing OAuth-enabled data retrieval, QR ingestion into EHR workflows and AI-powered recommendations built on patient data. The goal is not perfection by the first milestone, but real-world minimum viable functionality that can iteratively improve.Alix notes that from the standards community perspective, this approach feels aligned with long-standing calls for industry-driven collaboration, though it remains early to measure widespread impact.Carrots, Sticks and Rural HealthThe discussion turns to incentives.Amy outlines the administration's carrots and sticks strategy:Stick: Enforcement of information blocking, with penalties up to $2 million per occurrenceCarrots: Financial incentives such as the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program and the CMS ACCESS Model, which pays for technology-enabled outcomesThe Rural Health Transformation Program directs money to states with expectations that ecosystem-aligned interoperability and app participation be incorporated into funding proposals. CMS retains oversight and clawback authority to ensure funds support rural providers.The ACCESS Model represents a significant shift. Technology-enabled care platforms can register as Medicare Part B providers and be paid for measurable outcomes in tracks such as cardiometabolic disease, musculoskeletal conditions and behavioral health. Providers remain in the loop and receive compensation for referral and care plan oversight.Alix underscores that rural providers face steep financial and workforce constraints. Standards participation, implementation and technology upgrades require resources that are often scarce. The success of these incentives will depend on whether they reduce burden rather than add to it.AI: Evolution, Risk and RealityAI becomes a central thread of the episode.Amy compares AI adoption to autonomous vehicle models. Some scenarios allow tightly controlled automation, such as medication refills, while others require a human in the loop for higher-risk decisions. She points to a Utah prescription refill pilot as an example of bounded automation, where malpractice coverage and clearly defined use cases mitigate risk.When Tony asks who owns risk in this evolving landscape, Amy emphasizes the need for light but clear regulatory pathways rather than fragmented state-by-state oversight.Patients, she notes, are already there. Millions are asking health-related questions weekly through AI tools. The more pressing issue is ensuring those tools are grounded in structured medical data rather than incomplete memory or unverified inputs.She shares a striking story. Her daughter was excluded from a clinical trial due to a misclassification of ulcerative colitis. By uploading her records into an AI model, they identified a more precise diagnosis, microscopic lymphocytic colitis, which did not disqualify her from the trial. For Amy, this demonstrates both the power and inevitability of AI use.Alix adds caution. AI is only as strong as the data beneath it. Dirty, inconsistent and poorly structured data limits performance. Standards and terminologies remain essential to fuel high-fidelity models and safeguard trust.FHIR, Deregulation and the Data FoundationThe conversation addresses an emerging tension. If regulatory burdens are being reduced, does that signal less need for structured standards like FHIR?Amy candidly admits she initially wondered whether AI might reduce the need for FHIR altogether. After discussions with labs and technologists, she concluded the opposite. Standardized data dramatically improves AI performance and reduces error.Deregulation is about removing unnecessary burden, not abandoning foundational data structures.Alix reinforces that FHIR enables discrete, normalized data capture that supports both legacy transactions and AI evolution. While future innovations may emerge, today FHIR remains the backbone for scalable interoperability.Prior Authorization and HIPAA ModernizationThe episode dives into prior authorization modernization across medical and pharmacy domains.Amy notes growing interest among pledge participants to expand into pharmacy prior authorization testing, diagnostic imaging, real-time benefit checks and bulk FHIR performance testing.Alix provides insight into ongoing work within the Designated Standards Maintenance Organizations to incorporate FHIR-based approaches into HIPAA-named standards, particularly for prior authorization. She highlights testing beyond Connectathons, including implementer communities and real-world pilot efforts.Both stress the importance of public comment periods and industry engagement, describing participation as a civic responsibility for health IT professionals.Trust as the Core EnablerThe final segment centers on trust.Amy explains that the ecosystem initiative aims to reinforce trust through:Stronger digital identity verification such as Clear, ID.me and Login.govCertification frameworks such as CARIN and DIME for patient-facing appsA new national provider directory to replace fragmented provider data sourcesTransparency dashboards showing data requests, volumes and purposeRather than replacing frameworks like TEFCA, she describes the pledge model as an accelerator layered above the regulatory floor.Transparency acts as sunlight, enabling visibility into who is accessing data and for what purpose.Final TakeawaysIn closing, Amy urges providers not to sit on the sidelines. Too often, she says, providers feel change is imposed on them. The pledge environment is designed as an open forum where they can directly shape what works or does not work in real workflows.Alix echoes the call. Standards require participation. Organizations must allocate budget and staff to engage, comment and collaborate. It truly takes a village.Tony concludes by framing the episode's core message. Regulation establishes baseline expectations, but voluntary movements can demonstrate what is possible before mandates reach the Federal Register.Across pledges, payment reform, AI evolution and trust frameworks, the episode underscores a consistent theme. Modernization in health IT depends not only on policy direction, but on shared accountability and active participation from every stakeholder in the ecosystem.Listeners are reminded that POCP is available to support organizations in understanding the implications of federal initiatives, enforcement priorities and their strategic implications. Reach out to us to set up an initial consultation. The episode closes, as always, with the reminder that Health IT is a dish best served hot.Prefer video? Catch episodes on the POCP YouTube channel

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Zack Schwartz, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Trustifi, joined Doug Green to discuss a critical but often overlooked reality: while AI dominates headlines, email remains the primary attack vector for cybercrime. Trustifi delivers a full-suite email security platform purpose-built for MSPs, enabling easy deployment, centralized management, and advanced protection against next-generation AI-driven phishing attacks. Schwartz emphasized that over 91% of cyberattacks still originate from inbound email—and the sophistication of those attacks has grown dramatically with AI tools. “Cyber criminals are leveraging AI to create extremely nuanced attacks,” he explained. Trustifi addresses this by combining high-efficacy inbound phishing detection with innovative AI-driven training tools. One standout feature allows MSPs to convert a real phishing attack into customized security awareness training, generating targeted video content based on an incident that actually occurred within a customer's environment. A key differentiator is Trustifi's “journal-only mode,” which allows MSPs to deploy the platform without interrupting live email flow. The system produces a full report showing how Trustifi would have responded to threats, creating what Schwartz described as a powerful “aha moment” for customers. According to Trustifi, this approach converts over 80% of opportunities and requires only minutes to set up—at no cost to the partner or end client. Beyond inbound threats, Trustifi also addresses outbound risk and compliance requirements, including HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, and broader data loss prevention (DLP) concerns. Many organizations underestimate how much sensitive information leaves their network via email. “It's a big issue of not knowing what you don't know,” Schwartz said, highlighting how classification and encryption tools expose hidden vulnerabilities. With no minimum requirements, free NFR licenses for MSPs, and strong momentum away from legacy email gateways, Trustifi is positioning itself as a high-margin opportunity within the channel. The message to MSPs: start internally, see the exposure firsthand, and then extend protection across your customer base. Visit https://trustifi.com/
At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Simon Bradbrook, Senior Sales Engineer BSG at Snom, joined Doug Green to discuss why hardware reliability, mobility, and voice infrastructure still matter in a cloud-first world. Snom, a member of the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA), was one of the original IP phone manufacturers, launching one of the first commercially available IP phones in 2001. Today, Snom operates under the global manufacturing strength of VTech, one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers, with additional portfolio depth through the acquisition of Gigaset. Bradbrook highlighted Snom's wireless DECT solutions as a major differentiator for MSPs. Unlike Wi-Fi-based voice devices, DECT was purpose-built for voice communication, providing secure, encrypted, and highly reliable connectivity—especially critical in healthcare, assisted living, and large campus environments. “When I need to make an emergency call, I want to rely on a product that's actually going to complete that call,” Bradbrook noted, underscoring the importance of dependable voice in mission-critical settings. The Snom M900 multi-cell DECT system, which was used live during MSP Expo for staff communications, supports use cases ranging from hospitals and retirement facilities to warehouses. Features such as encrypted voice channels and optional accelerometer-based emergency alerts—capable of detecting a fall and automatically triggering assistance—expand the value proposition for MSPs serving vertical markets with safety and compliance requirements, including HIPAA-sensitive environments. Through VTech's global manufacturing footprint and distribution network, Snom is able to offer a three-year advanced replacement warranty. If a hardware issue is confirmed, a replacement unit is shipped immediately—without waiting for return processing—providing operational continuity for MSP partners and their customers. For MSPs seeking to expand beyond standard desk phones into scalable mobility and enterprise-grade wireless solutions, Snom and Gigaset offer complementary portfolios designed to fit environments from SMB retail to large enterprise campuses.

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Lyle Pratt, CEO of Vida, about the company's latest release: an expanded AI Agent Operating System designed for enterprise scale and built specifically for MSPs and channel partners. Vida provides AI-powered phone agents that integrate directly into existing UCaaS and telecom environments. With native SIP registration, Vida's agents can register back to an MSP's current UCaaS platform and appear just like any other VoIP endpoint. The new release enhances omnichannel capabilities, centralized control, observability, billing integrations, and reseller management—allowing MSPs to deploy, monitor, and monetize AI agents at scale across multiple customers. Pratt emphasized that the platform was architected from a telecom channel background. “We've designed the OS specifically for MSPs,” he said. “We make it extremely easy to roll those out to all your customers using our AI Agent OS.” Vida supports a multi-tier model—partners, resellers, enterprises, and agents—enabling white-label deployments where MSPs retain brand control and pricing authority. The platform also includes built-in billing and reporting capabilities to streamline recurring revenue operations. A key opportunity lies in redirecting call traffic that traditionally flows to third-party call centers or BPOs. Vida's AI phone agents can handle first-tier interactions at approximately 15 cents per minute, enabling MSPs to capture revenue streams that previously bypassed them. “Software is going to begin to eat into the labor market,” Pratt noted. “And that actually is great for MSPs because they sell software solutions—now they can collect those margins for themselves.” As AI continues to reshape communications infrastructure, Vida is positioning its platform as the backbone for next-generation IVRs, auto attendants, and voice-driven automation. With SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance, flexible integrations, and omnichannel automation capabilities across voice, SMS, and email, the company is aiming to simplify AI deployment for MSPs while opening new, high-margin revenue paths.

Send a textThe hardest stories rarely get told in the places that need them most. Susan Roggendorf and I open the door to how confidentiality truly works for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and medics—and why airtight boundaries are the backbone of real therapeutic change. No nods in public that out you, no name drops across departments, and no casual mentions that break trust. HIPAA is the law, but it is also a lived ethic that lets you speak freely without risking your reputation or your career.We get candid about the therapist–client relationship: professional, paid, and deeply human. It feels friendly at times because safety grows where pain is met with care. We talk about scheduling like chess to avoid back-to-back clients from the same team, navigating community run-ins, and letting clients choose whether to say hello or keep distance. Culture fit matters—dark humor, blunt talk, and straight answers help first responders feel seen. Sometimes the most therapeutic move is five minutes of sports talk to let your nervous system shift gears before you tackle the call you can't shake.We dig into vicarious trauma and why “talk to a friend” isn't enough. Friends can support you; therapists are trained to hear what is unsaid, track patterns over time, and offer clear choices: do you want support or solutions today? That simple question hands back control when so much of the job strips it away. We challenge the quiet shaming of help-seeking and argue for a culture that treats mental health like gear maintenance—nonnegotiable for readiness and longevity.If you've wondered whether a therapist will keep your confidence, or how therapy can actually work for your world, you'll hear real practices that protect privacy and deepen trust. Walk away with language to set boundaries, insight into how clinicians think, and a clearer path to care that respects the badge and the person behind it.To reach Susan, please go to https://psychhub.com/us/provider/susan-roggendorf/1316326036If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with your crew, and leave a review so more first responders can find it.

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Doug Barbin, Chief Growth Officer at Schellman, about how rapid AI adoption is reshaping compliance requirements for MSPs, cloud providers, and technology companies. Barbin outlined Schellman's role as one of the largest independent providers of technology, risk, and AI-related compliance assessments, serving organizations across highly regulated industries. Barbin explained that AI adoption is accelerating far faster than previous technology shifts such as cloud computing, leaving many organizations scrambling to keep pace with evolving regulatory expectations. “The adoption of AI has come out four or five times as fast as what we saw with cloud,” Barbin said. “Organizations are now trying to keep up not just from a technology risk perspective, but also from a compliance and governance standpoint.” He pointed to emerging standards such as ISO 42001 as critical frameworks helping companies manage AI governance at scale. The conversation also explored the complexity of audits and how Schellman works to simplify the process. Barbin described a “collect once, use many” approach that allows organizations—particularly MSPs—to streamline compliance across multiple frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, and federal requirements. By reducing redundancy and aligning audits to customer needs, MSPs can more efficiently expand into regulated verticals they otherwise could not serve. Barbin concluded by emphasizing the opportunity compliance creates for MSPs as they grow into more regulated markets. By helping MSPs inherit and validate customer controls, Schellman enables service providers to scale responsibly while turning compliance into a business advantage rather than a barrier.

As a seasoned advisor and investor in technology and healthcare, he has fulfilled roles as an architect, programmer, software engineer, user experience specialist, product developer, growth hacker, and chief technology officer. In this episode… Ever wondered why some apps become part of your daily routine while others disappear after a single use? Creating technology people truly love requires mastering retention, trust, and thoughtful AI integration. So what separates indispensable apps from the rest? According to Ghazenfer Mansoor, a seasoned healthcare SaaS builder and author, the apps that endure are those designed around a single, essential user need and built with security and trust at their core. He highlights the importance of protecting sensitive data through privacy-first AI approaches such as retrieval-augmented generation and zero-retention language models. The impact is clear: when users feel safe and understood, they stay. He also stresses avoiding feature bloat, embedding feedback loops early, and iterating continuously based on real user behavior. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Ghazenfer Mansoor, Founder and CEO of Technology Rivers, to discuss building secure, user-loved apps in healthcare and SaaS. They dive into designing for retention, avoiding common product pitfalls, and selecting the right tech stack to scale effectively. Ghazenfer also shares how AI tools and book recommendations shape his productivity and decision-making.
In this episode of Resilient Cyber, I sit down with VP, Product Marketing and Strategy for Protegrity, James Rice. We will be discussing how traditional approaches to security aren't solving the AI security challenge, the importance of data-centric approaches for secure AI implementation and addressing issues such as AI data leakage.James and I dove into a lot of great topics, including:Why traditional perimeter-based and infrastructure-centric security models are failing in the era of AI, and why organizations need to fundamentally rethink their approach to securing AI workloads.The concept of data-centric security — protecting the data itself rather than the systems surrounding it — and why this shift is critical as data flows across cloud platforms, AI models, and agentic workflows.The growing risk of AI data leakage and how sensitive information (PII, PHI, PCI, intellectual property) can inadvertently be exposed through AI training data, model outputs, prompt injection, and RAG pipelines.Why many organizations find themselves stuck in an "AI circularity" — wanting to leverage AI but unable to do so because of the complexity of securing critical business data throughout the AI lifecycle.The importance of embedding security controls inline within the AI pipeline — from data ingestion and model training to orchestration and output — rather than bolting security on after the fact.How data protection techniques such as tokenization, anonymization, dynamic masking, and format-preserving encryption can enable organizations to use realistic, context-rich data for AI while maintaining compliance and reducing risk.The challenge of securing agentic AI workflows, where autonomous agents continuously interact with enterprise data, making traditional access control models insufficient.How organizations can balance the need for AI innovation and data utility with regulatory compliance requirements across frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and emerging AI-specific regulations.James's perspective on how security, risk, and compliance functions need to evolve to keep pace with the rapid productionization of AI across the enterprise.The role of semantic guardrails in governing AI inputs and outputs, ensuring that protection is applied contextually based on how data is being used — not just where it resides.About the GuestJames Rice is VP of Product Marketing and Strategy at Protegrity, a global leader in data-centric security. He brings over 20 years of experience in security, risk, and compliance, having provided solution engineering, value engineering, and implementation services to Fortune 1000 organizations across industries.

Dr. Kianor Shah is doing something unprecedented. As founder of the Top 100 Doctors organization and the Doctor to Doctor movement, he has united over 1,100 healthcare professionals from 163 countries. His mission: ensure doctors lead the AI revolution rather than follow it.In this episode of The Authentic Dentist, Dr. Shah joins Dr. Allison House and Shawn Zajas to discuss the upcoming Global Medical and Dental AI Summit in London. This three-day event will bring together 700 healthcare leaders to establish AI policy, governance standards, and practical implementation strategies.Dr. Shah does not mince words about the state of healthcare. Third parties have gained substantial control over doctor decision-making in the past 50 years. Corporate models prioritize production numbers over patient care. MBA boards dictate the future of healthcare professionals who spent decades in training.AI presents both a threat and an opportunity. In the wrong hands, it could accelerate the erosion of doctor autonomy. In the right hands, it could restore the patient-doctor relationship to its foundational simplicity.The conversation covers: • Why AI should be viewed as a divine tool rather than a threat • How dentists can become the hub for overall patient health • Practical steps to start implementing AI in your practice today • Why one focused practice outperforms an empire of six • The cybersecurity concerns every dentist should understand • How a fraction of unified doctors could become the most powerful entity in healthcareDr. Shah brings unique perspective from his multicultural background (Iran, Germany, United States), his MBA training, and his 20 years of clinical practice. He scaled down from six practices to one and discovered greater income and fulfillment.The London summit offers something for every healthcare professional. The dental track features 50 speakers in TED-style presentations. The Health Intelligence Board will debate with ministers and regulatory leaders. Workshops address everything from diagnostic AI to practice management automation.For dental professionals experiencing burnout or questioning their path, this episode offers a different vision. One where doctors lead rather than follow. One where AI serves patients rather than profits. One where the profession's future is determined by practitioners who understand what healthcare actually means.Registration: top100doc.com/londonCHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction 2:19 - The mission behind the London AI Summit 3:50 - Why optimists will prevail with AI 5:51 - The erosion of the patient-doctor relationship 8:34 - Autonomy in corporate dentistry settings 10:27 - What the London summit offers practitioners 14:23 - Breaking down silos between medicine and dentistry 17:22 - AI liability warning for dentists 20:59 - Cybersecurity concerns and HIPAA 24:25 - The competitive advantage of AI adoption 29:24 - Why dentists are positioned to lead healthcare 31:01 - Overcoming AI misconceptions 36:22 - Authentic leadership in dentistry 38:10 - One practice vs. six: Dr. Shah's personal lesson 42:58 - The power of 0.5% of doctors unitedCONNECT: The Authentic Dentist Podcast Dr. Allison House Shawn Zajas Top 100 Doctors: top100doc.com
Google Business Profile has always been a great tool to market your practice. Most recently, it's apparent that AI will pull directly from Google Business Profile when recommending a therapist to someone.Sadly, exclusively virtual therapy practices are not allowed to have a Google Business Profile (there are workarounds, but they are not allowed, so I don't cover those in this episode).But if you have an onlie practice, no need to fret!
