Reviews

3.4 out of 5 stars from 13 ratings
  • Good content but…

    The audio quality isn’t great and the host’s voice is too soft and she stumbles so much in script reading. Fantastic content though.

  • Content good, delivery bad

    I wish the recording is done better. The voice is so quiet I have to turn it so extremely loud and can still barely hear it. The Reading of the Script is so bad.

  • Good content, poor delivery

    The content is really good and insightful. However, the delivery is poor. The sound quality is also not very good.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Driving Responsible AI Adoption, Cybersecurity and Digital Transformation with Les Clonch
Q: But before we dive in, can you tell me a little bit more about yourself and your background?
Les describes a 30-year career in healthcare IT, primarily as a CIO, with experience across large and small systems, and emphasizes learning from mentors and colleagues to grow as a leader.
AI, Informatics, and Value-Based Care Transformation with Edward Sankary
Q: What are you most curious about for the future in health IT and AI?
I'm focused on workforce evolution to keep pace with technology, expanding partnerships (e.g., UTSA and UT System collaborations), and advancing AI-driven clinical decision support and patient-facing AI interactions that will transform how patients engage with their health data.
AI, Informatics, and Value-Based Care Transformation with Edward Sankary
Q: Can you share a concrete example from the last year that produced great results?
A standout example was achieving 100 percent compliance with standing delegated orders by building an AI-assisted process with the EHR and a health IT partner, enabling nurses to place orders under delegated authority only when appropriate, which impressed the Joint Commission and improved patient safety and staff efficiency.
AI, Informatics, and Value-Based Care Transformation with Edward Sankary
Q: From your perspective, what are some of the powerful forces shaping digital health and IT today, and how do you expect them to evolve this coming year?
AI is moving from experimentation to operations across the workflow, with broader deployment through partnerships and platforms. We're seeing a shift from isolated pilots to platform-scale solutions, strong governance to manage risk and bias, and ongoing emphasis on secure access and data governance to protect patient information while expanding AI capabilities.
Paul Testa, MD, Chief Health Informatics Officer at NYU Langone Health
Q: What does the future look like for clinicians in the loop with AI?
Clinicians will remain essential, but the model will serve as a constant co-pilot; we will calibrate when having a clinician in the loop helps or harms performance, always prioritizing patient safety and trust.
