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.
