May 14, 2020: Our guest for our Field Report episode is Kristin Darby, Enterprise CIO for Envision Healthcare. We sit down with Kristin to talk about Envision Healthcare, the impact that COVID-19 has had for them, and how they have responded. Technology, especially telehealth services, have been extremely important to a data-driven organization like Envision, as has collaboration with members of the healthcare industry. In this episode, we discuss how Envision addresses their platforms and architecture in order to respond quickly to a rapidly evolving set of use cases, and Kristin gives us some example of specific use cases they have encountered and how Envision has scaled their telehealth systems to respond to unmet needs. We close the episode with a discussion about unique versus out-of-the-box solutions and how the tools Envision has developed are useful not only in acute settings, but in office practices, post-acute, and urgent care centers too.
