Our guest today fights fire in cyber-Security. A lot of healthcare peers are being attacked by hackers for ransom. Traditional hospitals that kick the can down the road are being forced to innovate at the risk of being sitting ducks.  

Technology in healthcare needs to up its game and is being forced to upgrade.    

Enter disruptor Todd L. Bell, Chief Information Security Officer & Executive Director of IT Compliance who is innovating the healthcare system with technology tools, leadership and a mindset to be agile, quick and responsive to navigate through challenges.  

Key Takeaways:  

  • The main ingredient of disruption: Hackers are driving innovation and systems are at risk of being hacked. To counter this threat Todd identifies the venerable under pining issues of the technological platforms and addresses them through leadership and technology.     
  • When an IT system fails, it forces an organization to pen and paper which in turn affects the functioning of the firm. This causes peers to be inefficient at their jobs and impacts the revenue.     
  • The companies that have technically advanced employees, not only accomplish greater things but also produce higher results & better growth.
  • Status quo: “Set it” “Forget it” mentality when it comes to technology. On average Healthcare refreshes its system every 10 years as compared to other industries/companies that do it every 3 years.     
  • Disruptors like Todd are also forced to make up for vendor shortcomings. There is a gap between the technologies used by some vendors – outdated systems, compared to prevailing industry standards.     
  • Usually, vendors are looked down on. Todd at Valleyhealth considers them as business partners to up their game and stay relevant with the latest tech.    
  • Todd identifies more efficient technology, less costly and more cloud transformation as the need of the hour. 

 

Quote of the show: 

8:33 to 9:08 

“I would recognize that the companies that have more technical people, produced higher results, better growth, better top line improvements for the organisations compared to companies with lower tech and their performance was lagging. So, this goes back to the mindset of how you hire, how you operate, how you interact with others and so It’s not just about the great technology which we all think of. Technology is it’s one piece of a holistic picture”.
