May 26, 2020: We're back with another Tuesday News Day! In this episode, we dive into a variety of news stories, with three features focusing on the future role of tech and tech spending in healthcare. Our first article, ‘Don’t Sleep. Healthcare CIOs Must Step Into 2021 Now,’ was published by Forbes and features David Chou’s top 10 tech priorities for healthcare CIOs. Bill provides his own take on the topic before exploring a second article — ‘The Amazon-Berkshire-JPMorgan Health Ventures’ Fails to Disrupt,’ a Bloomberg piece that explores how Haven failed to meet expectations of disrupting healthcare. Next, Bill looks at research by Ray Wang which predicts an increase in tech spending in the healthcare sector — and why this spending won’t affect traditional projects — before discussing Angela Yochem’s Protocol piece on why working remotely should become the norm, and not the exception. Finally, Bill briefly talks about his great love, baseball, as he discusses an article in The Wall Street Journal about the many ‘unfun’ regulations that the MLB is proposing to keep their players safe. Listen to this episode to pick up Bill’s key insights and advice on the future of healthcare.
