Healthcare IT Today

For the 202nd episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are doing a preview of the upcoming health IT fall conferences! We kick this preview off by discussing what topics we think will rise to the top of the conferences this fall. Next, we share our ‘dark horse’ topics, the topics that may surprise us. Then, we talk about what topics are overhyped and verging on tired. Lastly, we conclude this episode by debating which of the conferences will have the most impact or which we will be talking about the most this coming season.

Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

What topic is your pick to rise to the top of the conference this fall?

For the 200th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, I am joined by a very special guest host— Sagnik Bhattacharya, CEO at Rhapsody, the sponsor of this episode— to discuss what is holding AI back in healthcare! We kick this episode off by sharing what has surprised us most about AI adoption from the years of AI experimentation. Then we discuss where healthcare really is today. Next, we dig into why so many AI initiatives are succeeding in pilots but are struggling to scale. We then debate whether or not the industry is focusing too much on models and not enough on infrastructure, data, and operational readiness. Lastly, we wrap this episode up as we discuss what healthcare organizations need to do now to prepare for the next phase of AI innovation and more autonomous and agentic workflows.
