This week, David Wright is joined by Dr. Alistair Erskine, Chief Information and Digital Officer of Emory Healthcare, to talk about harnessing the power of technology to improve patient experiences, empower care teams and drive groundbreaking research.

Key Takeaways:

(01:23) Don't overthink — take action and learn from it. This drives innovation.

(06:41)  Build cross-functional teams with both tech-savvy and non tech-savvy users to get holistic input on new technologies.

(10:42) Spend time with nurses and doctors to understand their experience and incorporate it into strategy.

(12:30) IT executives should do rounds to see workflows and technologies in action.

(18:24) Identify early adopters first, then use their momentum to help others in adopting new tech.

(23:18) Vet vendors thoroughly — slick presentations don't always equate to scalable solutions.

(26:02) Fix processes before introducing new technology in "phase zero" preparations.
