For the 9th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we’re sitting down with Natalie Pageler, MD – CMIO at Stanford Children’s Health.

A few years back I learned that if you really want to understand what’s possible in healthcare, talk to a children’s hospital.  The person who taught me this was from a children’s hospital and illustrated how they were required to do different things than other hospitals because parents of sick children are some of the most demanding in healthcare.  As a father of 4, I totally understand this.  I couldn’t care less about my own health, but when it comes to my children I want the very best.  I won’t dig into the psychology of this and whether it’s right or wrong, but I have seen it’s true that children’s hospitals can teach us so much about patient care.

In this episode, Dr. Pageler doesn’t disappoint as she shares her experience working on telehealth and digital health at Stanford Children’s Health.  She also does a great job highlighting some of the nuances that Children’s Hospitals have to navigate that the rest of healthcare doesn’t have to worry about.  Plus, she shares some of the successes they’ve had at Stanford Children’s hospital with telehealth and digital health.

Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss on this episode:

For the 4th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we’re sitting down with R. Hal Baker, MD, Senior Vice President, Chief Digital and Chief Information Officer at WellSpan Health.  In this episode we take a little different approach from previous episodes as we talk with Dr. Baker about a very specific technology: ambient clinical voice and his experience with the Nuance DAX solution.

This is a particularly interesting episode because Dr. Baker is the CIO of his organization, but also a practicing doctor that is using the ambient clinical voice technology himself as he sees patients.  This allows him to provide both the physician perspective on ambient clinical voice along with his perspective as CIO.

As fate would have it, the news also dropped today that Microsoft will acquire Nuance and the technology that’s talked about in this episode.  I’m not sure this will change the trajectory of the product, but could actually provide Nuance with added resources to continue developing the backend AI needed to make ambient clinical voice even better.
