Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 28 – Confronting Clinical Variation – Dr. Michael van Duren
Q: What are the first couple of steps you recommend to a chief medical officer starting this initiative?
Commitment from senior leaders, clear goals, and a plan for how to present data to clinicians in a non-threatening way. Build a governance approach, ensure you have acceptable data quality, and prepare to facilitate structured conversations that translate data into practical changes in daily practice.
Ep 28 – Confronting Clinical Variation – Dr. Michael van Duren
Q: How would you go about forming a program like that in a health system?
Begin by identifying a target metric you care about, ensure proper attribution, and assemble a small team of analysts. Secure leadership buy-in from the top, then engage local clinical leaders with empathy. Start with simple, actionable process metrics that clinicians can influence tomorrow, and gradually build a culture of data-driven discussion and improvement.
Ep 30 – Scaling Operational AI across Healthcare – Dr. Edmund Jackson (UnityAI)
Q: Tell me about where you're focused on healthcare operations in AI.
We're focused on where agents can add tangible value today, particularly around scheduling for patients and staff to improve access and utilization of capacity, while keeping risk low and maintaining human oversight where necessary.
Ep 32 – Delivering Care Where It's Needed Most – Dr. DeAnn Bullock (Nashville General)
Q: What is one piece of advice you'd give to up-and-coming physician leaders?

Ep 32 – Delivering Care Where It's Needed Most – Dr. DeAnn Bullock (Nashville General)
Q: Post-COVID, what are your top priorities and what have you been implementing at Nashville General?
The hospital is focusing on reinforcing a strong foundational service lines, expanding community partnerships, and aligning resources to keep care local when possible, including expanding joint initiatives with Meharry and improving patient transfer processes to ensure patients get appropriate care without excessive navigation barriers.
