Many healthcare organizations are required to conduct time studies to document the time their practitioners spend on contracted activities. The resulting data is crucial for financial and cost reporting, as well as operational efficiency and workforce effectiveness initiatives. However, the discontinuous data reporting schedules and inefficient data collection workflows associated with traditional time studies can make them a burden for practitioners and result in low response rates. On today's episode, we're joined by Kishau Rogers, CEO and founder of TimeStudy, to discuss how her AI-powered platform is improving productivity and creating competitive advantages for healthcare organizations. By leveraging machine learning and natural language processing, TimeStudy streamlines the time study process, making it less burdensome for practitioners and increasing response rates. In addition to discussing the benefits of TimeStudy, Kishau shares her journey as a tech entrepreneur, her fundraising experience, team-building strategies, and advice for engaging with customers and minimizing investment risks. We also explore the use cases for time analysis in healthcare finance. Join us for an insightful conversation on the future of time studies and their impact on healthcare organizations.

My job is to introduce you to modern women leaving their unique stains on the world. Yes, some might say color the world, but that always feels somewhat pithy to me. Stains are what you get when you’re out there taking action - sometimes the gritty, messy kind. Semantics aside, I have the pleasure of connecting with Kishau Rogers this week. Kishau has been an active (and awarded!) practitioner, contributor, and business leader in the computer science and information technology industry for over 23 years. Her mission is to develop impactful, innovative solutions to complex problems and gnarly business challenges. She is also the founder & CEO of Websmith, Inc. Kishau has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, NFIB, JavaWorld, and other national publications. She is fiercely committed to STEM and using tech for social good. To further both of those aims, Kishau actively serves on advisory boards with institutions such as VCU School of Engineering, Think of Us and WAAW Foundation. She is also recent recipient of the NAWBO Wells Fargo STEM Award and the Lyn McDermid Community Impact Award. [Swoon.] Admittedly, I’m fan-girling over Kishau a bit, but did manage to pull it together. When uttered the words “making thinking sexy again,” I practically vibrated with excitement, gratitude and inspiration. We talked in depth about bringing critical thinking back. We also geeked out on machine learning, internal expectations, hating mediocrity, burning out, the complexity of hustle + push and how she turned it around, plus the power of knowing when to quit. This episode is Inspiring (yes, with a capital I) and empowering for all you frazzled femmes out there. Bust out your smartphones, and start listening already.

In this episode of Disruptive Conversations, I interview Kishau Rogers, founder of Big Think and many other software related companies. In this episode, Kishau and I geek out on systems thinking and find many overlaps in our own work. As a listener you will enjoy the many nuances she presents on thinking and problem-solving. Her general premise is that people need to think before they act. Kishau helps people find solutions through software. For her, too often people have not thought about the problem enough before they decide to develop code. She wants to disrupt the idea that we can just throw code at a problem. For her, the why is more important than the what. She encourages her clients to ask why because often the first solution we come up with is likely not the best we can do. Asking why helps us develop clarity around the problem we are trying to address. She argues, that too many times, we hide behind technology. When we attack problems with code, we might be building our existing problems into new software. Simply taking an analog problem and making it a digital problem.Kishau, like me, is a fan of structured thinking. She is an advocate of using tools and frameworks to help us think about how we are going to address the problems we face. This episode is a really a clarion call for better-thinking tools. Hope you enjoy this episode of Disruptive Conversations. Related links mentioned in the episode:http://bigthinking.io/http://www.bstudioproject.com/http://thesidelab.com/
