February 13, 2020: We are so happy to welcome two of the industry’s best, Sue Schade and David Muntz, of StarBridge Advisors, onto the show with us today. They are decorated veterans with more awards between them than fingers on our hands. This episode, which is the first of two parts, is a Jeopardy-like interaction, where Sue and David tackle some of the health IT issues that are sure to shape 2020. We kick off by talking about EHR implementation and David shares his unconventional opinion as to why a single-vendor approach does not work. Sue also sheds light on what we can and should be doing to ensure that clinician burnout with these systems comes to an end. David and Sue also touch on governance, where David provides fantastic insights into the different types of governance that we need in these ever-evolving times. Finally, we round off with talking about IT budgeting, where Sue points out the need for tight budgets while still ensuring all needs are met. This was a fantastic discussion, so be sure to tune in!
