For the 197th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are talking about the World Cup of health IT! We kick this episode off by discussing who in healthcare deserves a yellow card (given for reckless fouls, time-wasting, or unsportsmanlike conduct) right now. Next, we talk about who we think deserves a red card (given for serious fouls against players or officials) in healthcare right now. Then, we share what international health IT developments have caught our attention recently. Finally, we conclude this episode by debating who we think should win the match between a cybersecurity project and a clinical efficiency and burnout improvement project.

Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

• In soccer/football, a player gets a yellow card when they commit a reckless foul, waste time, or show unsporting behavior. Who deserves a yellow card in healthcare right now?
• A player gets a red card for a serious foul against players or officials. Who deserves a red card in healthcare right now?
• The World Cup is a big international event – what are the international health IT developments that have caught your attention recently?
• There are a lot of close-scoring matches in soccer/football because teams are very competitive and comparable. In other words, it’s very hard to pick a winner. In healthcare, there are many important IT priorities and it is difficult to pick one vs another. Who should win the match between a cybersecurity project and a project that improves clinical efficiency + burnout?

For the 179th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are talking about contradictions in healthcare! We kick this episode off by first examining how we are striving for more personalized care while we are implementing more and more chatbots that remove people from the loop. Then, we take a look at how we say we want more interoperability and data sharing, only to have more data silos than ever. And on this point, we debate if that will ever be solved. Next, we discuss how we often talk about the shortage of clinicians, only to hesitate to adopt innovative technologies that could streamline care delivery. We conclude this episode on the contradiction that hardly any patients are involved in the design of health IT solutions, despite how much we say that we are patient-centered.

Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

• We say we want more personalized care, yet we are rushing to implement more chatbots that remove people from the loop.

For the 170th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are doing another round of Buy or Sell! For these episodes, we select a health IT category and then write down a list of topics and talking points in that category. We then use that list to debate each other on whether we believe it will happen, meaning we ‘buy’ it, or whether we don’t believe that the topic will happen, meaning we ‘sell’ it. The category chosen for this episode is: Medical AI Assistants!

Here’s a preview of the topics we discuss in this episode:

• Medical AI Assistants Are More than a Fad
• AI Assistants Will Become the Primary Interface of the Doctor
• Medical AI Assistants Are Going to Remain Standalone Solutions
• Branching Beyond AI Scribe/Note-Taking is Necessary to Survive

For the 169th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are joined by Rishi Nayyar, Co-Founder and CEO at PocketHealth, to talk about radiology image sharing! Today’s episode is sponsored by PocketHealth, whose suite of radiology solutions help enable a more modern, connected experience that keeps patient care on track. We kick this episode off by discussing the impact a healthcare organization’s approach to sharing radiology images has on their reputation. Then we walk through different approaches to image sharing to see which ones work and which ones are myths. Next, we check in on our patients to see the impact of having access to their images, as well as discuss what’s being done to make it more meaningful. We conclude this episode by debating what else can be done to make sure patients are acting on the results and incidental findings from their images.

Thank you to our sponsor, PocketHealth! If you’re still relying on CDs, faxes, or VPNs to share imaging, PocketHealth makes it easy to move beyond that, with seamless image exchange that works across networks, no logins or delays. But image sharing is just the start. PocketHealth also engages patients with AI-powered tools that highlight key images, explain clinical terms, and surface follow-up recommendations in one interactive experience. It’s a smarter way to reduce leakage, improve patient and physician satisfaction and keep care on track. Learn more at pockethealth.com/providers.

Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

• How does a healthcare organization’s approach to sharing radiology images impact their reputation?
• What are some of the approaches to image sharing that work, and what are some of the myths?
• What’s the impact of patients having access to their images, and what’s being done to make it more meaningful?
• What else can be done to make sure patients are acting on the results and incidental findings from their images?

For the 125th episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we are joined by special guest host, Brittany Quemby, Editor at Healthcare IT Today, to discuss women’s health IT! We begin our deep dive into this topic with telemedicine and other digital health apps. We discuss how these tools can be used to empower women in managing their own health and well-being as well as looking at what challenges these tools face in doing so. We then look at IT solutions, in general, to see how they can be tailored to what women need and make their experiences in healthcare better. Next, we narrow our discussion down to how data analytics and IT tools can be utilized to find and mitigate disparities in women’s health. Lastly, we tackle the difficult discussion of what health IT companies and healthcare providers can and should be doing to collaborate and address the inequality of healthcare for women.

Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

• How can technologies like telemedicine and digital health apps empower women to manage their own health and well-being? What challenges or disparities should we be mindful of when implementing such solutions?
• How can IT solutions be tailored to address these specific women’s health needs (pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause), and what role can they play in optimizing women’s healthcare experiences?
• How can data analytics and IT tools help identify and mitigate disparities in women’s health, ultimately promoting more equitable access to quality care?
• How can health IT companies and healthcare providers collaborate to develop solutions that improve the overall quality of women’s healthcare and that address the unique health challenges that women face that may not always receive the same level of attention as more generic healthcare issues?

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the Healthcare IT Today podcast.

For the 108th episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we decided to mix things up. Regular listeners will know that last episode we talked about Generative AI (ChatGPT being one example) in healthcare. With that context in mind, we thought it would be fun for this episode to let ChatGPT take over and asks us the questions. We asked ChatGPT the following question “Can you come up with 4 questions for a podcast on healthcare IT (technology)?” and it generated the following questions:

• How is healthcare technology impacting the delivery of patient care?
• What are some of the most promising advancements in healthcare IT currently under development?
• How is the healthcare industry addressing concerns about data privacy and security with the increasing use of technology?
• What role do you see technology playing in the future of the healthcare industry?

As you can see from the questions, they were pretty generic and not that good. We almost did the episode on these questions and figured we could make it interesting using our responses since the questions were so generic. However, then we decided to see if ChatGPT could do better. So, we asked ChatGPT to make the questions more specific and interesting. Here’s a look at the 2nd set of questions that ChatGPT provided us after this extra prompt:

• How is the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) changing the way doctors and nurses document patient care?
• Can you discuss the use of telemedicine and how it’s being used to reach underserved communities?
• How is the healthcare industry using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to improve patient outcomes?
• Can you discuss the challenges of implementing and maintaining a successful healthcare IT infrastructure, and what solutions are being proposed to address these challenges?

As you can see, much more specific and interesting. We used these four questions as the framework for this episode. We’ll let you decide after listening to the episode if this was a good idea of bad. We look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments and on social media.

Now, without further ado, we’re excited to share with you the next episode of the Healthcare IT Today podcast.

We publish a new Healthcare IT Today podcast every ~2 weeks.
