  • Health systems and plans are now willing to take a leap of faith for digital patient experiences
    In this episode, Leah Sparks discusses how she founded Wildflower Health in 2012 as a digital health platform to help women in their pregnancies, after experiencing the difficulties of navigating the healthcare system during her first pregnancy.
    Leah believes that digital adoption in healthcare often needs to start with simple use cases with near term returns (the short story). Although technology risks are high in healthcare, Leah encourages health systems to remain focused on the long story of needing to transform healthcare by investing in the right opportunities to create a healthcare experience that is personalized for consumers.
    Wildflower Health has raised venture capital from leading health systems such as Providence Health and is considered a leading “FemTech” startup. Leah points out that while women are primary users of her platform, they are also the Chief Health Officers of their homes and influence 80% of all healthcare decisions for the entire population.

    According to David, successful organizations always put patients, quality, and the outcomes first and everything else follows.

  • John Glaser: The healthcare industry is going through an amazing change in business models

    John Glaser, former CIO, Partners Healthcare, discusses EHR systems at length, the burden on physicians from poor design and workflows, the issues with interoperability and the confusing landscape around information blocking legislation.

    He discusses the “tyranny of a large number of good ideas” which often leads to increased workloads for physicians and increases the overall costs for the health system with little or no business rationale for implementing many of those changes.

    John notes that big tech firms are laying down the infrastructure to surround consumers with healthcare offerings based on online behavior and preferences, and how technologies like voice recognition and AI will dramatically change our healthcare experience in the future.
