July 10, 2026: Bill Reid , Healthcare and Life Sciences Lead in the Office of the CISO at Google , has spent his career working with health system security leaders, and he keeps running into the same blind spot: healthcare is underestimating the browser as an attack surface. Drex DeFord sits down with Bill to explore why the shift from thick client infrastructure to a secure, browser-first endpoint model is no longer theoretical. It is what resilient health systems are building. From managing tr

July 6, 2026: Bill Russell, Drex DeFord, and Sarah Richardson are back from four executive summits in Napa, covering CIOs, Chief Application Officers, Chief Analytics Officers, and CNIOs. The through-line across every room? AI pressure is intense, budget cuts are real, and a clear leadership vision is nearly impossible to find. From nurses being left out of decisions they should be driving, to analytics leaders managing a shadow IT explosion, to health systems already quietly building agents for

June 23, 2026: Jason Elrod , CISO at MultiCare , unpacks why traditional identity and access management doesn't map to AI agents, what happens when an employee leaves and their agents keep running with no one accountable, and why exploitability management is replacing vulnerability management as the right frame for security leadership. They also get into social engineering of AI models, the Harvard degree story, and what walk-up song Jason would pick for a 25,000-person keynote. Key Points: 09:0

June 29, 2026: Scott D'Entremont , CEO of Parlance , joins Bill Russell, Drex DeFord, and Sarah Richardson to unpack the week's most pressing health IT headlines. The panel covers Mythos, the AI model just pulled offline after social engineering exposed its guardrail vulnerabilities. Then Scott brings 30 years of conversational AI experience to a sharper conversation: AI is flooding healthcare systems with auto-generated RFPs, turning serious vendor evaluation into a demo derby. Who's liable whe

June 22, 2026: Bill Russell and Drex DeFord launch into Newsday fresh off city tour dinners across Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Rochester. The two dig into what's actually happening with AI on the ground: a smaller health system that vibe-coded a nurse scheduling app and made it work while bigger systems looked on skeptically, the build vs. buy debate coming back with new energy, and Anthropic's announcement that Claude now writes over 80% of its own production code. Plus: the ROI reck

June 15, 2026: Bill Russell, Drex DeFord, and Sarah Richardson sit down to work through the question sitting at the top of every health system's agenda: what has AI actually done for us? Personal productivity gains are real. Meeting counts are dropping, hours are being saved, and individual leaders feel the difference. But the enterprise ROI case is proving harder to make. With Dave Lundahl's three-era framework for healthcare IT adding historical weight and the ambient listening wave cresting,

June 10, 2026: In healthcare where downtime means lives, identity security is no longer just about who logs in. Bill Russell sits down with Peter Barker , Chief Product Officer at Ping Identity , to unpack why the agentic AI era demands a fundamental rethinking of identity. From giving AI agents first-class credentials to shifting the security boundary from login to the point of action. If your health system is deploying AI and you have not addressed non-human identity, this conversation is wher

June 8, 2026: Bill Russell, Drex DeFord, and Sarah Richardson break down three headlines every health IT leader needs to hear. New York City Health and Hospitals suffered a breach that exposed biometric data, fingerprints, palm prints, and geotagged photo metadata through a third-party vector. Unlike passwords or Social Security numbers, that data cannot be replaced. Second, the long-anticipated HIPAA Security Rule update is overdue, and organizations that had two years to prepare are still unpr

June 3, 2026: Adnan Iqbal , co-founder and CEO of Luma Health , joins Bill Russell for a direct conversation about one of healthcare's most stubborn problems: patient access. With 14-day average waits for a PCP appointment, 18% no-show rates, and call centers buried in fax workflows, the problems haven't changed, but the tools finally have. Adnan shares how Luma built a platform from scratch to orchestrate access, intake, financial experience, and patient engagement in one unified system, why de

June 1, 2026: Bill Russell, Drex DeFord, and Sarah Richardson bring back the highlights from three simultaneous healthcare summits in Destin, Florida, covering imaging leaders, CTOs, and children's CIOs. The conversations were connected by a few uncomfortable truths: four in ten health systems cannot measure the AI they have already deployed, most organizations have dozens of agents running on their networks without anyone knowing, and budgets are getting squeezed by rising RAM costs and what le

May 25, 2026: Bill Russell, Drex DeFord, and Sarah Richardson turn the episode into an informal review of Sarah's MIT AI Strategy and Leadership course, and the insights are worth the homework. From the surprisingly perfect parallel between today's AI resistance and the original Luddites, to the counterintuitive finding that the organizations succeeding with AI are the most operationally aligned, not the most technically advanced, this conversation cuts straight to what healthcare leaders actual
