Summary
In this interview, Barry Stein, MD, Chief Clinical Innovation Officer and CMIO at Hartford HealthCare, underscores the critical role of advanced imaging technologies in transforming healthcare by advocating for the integration of imaging systems across departments. He argues that breaking down silos between radiology and other specialties enhances patient care and leads to better diagnostic outcomes. Stein highlights challenges in implementing these solutions, such as outdated technology and the need for interoperability, and recommends strategic investments in modern imaging platforms. He also discusses the potential of artificial intelligence to improve imaging capabilities but warns that its integration should support healthcare professionals rather than replace them.
