Curtis Hendrick, VP of Cloud Services at Optimum joins Bill for the news. Cloud, human-centered design and getting back to basics are hot topics in digital health this year. CIOs are studying and implementing these technologies to improve patient and provider experiences. At least four research papers credit the AI tool ChatGPT as a co-author. Many scientists disapprove and publishers are scrambling to regulate its use. Microsoft invests billions more dollars in OpenAI. And doctors, get ready for your AI assistants. Hospitals have begun using machine learning and the medical applications are endless.

Key Points:
What is human centered design?
I look at Cloud as a tool stack and what you do with that tool stack will determine the value that you deliver
How do you determine the opportunities in cloud?

How can healthcare make the transition from ‘sick’ care to keeping people healthy, well and engaged in the community? Nassar Nizami, Executive VP and CIO at Jefferson Health shares his vision. What are some of the priorities at Jefferson going into 2023? What are they doing in the fields of AI, automation and the move to the cloud? How do you create a flywheel effect with a major EHR implementation integration, where little changes can have significant impact across all your hospitals? Having a standard based assistance makes life easy, but more importantly, it truly allows for innovation to happen.

Key Points:
AI hasn’t put a big dent in healthcare yet. We haven't even started.
In IT, we are masters of our own destination but we also have to rely on expertise from many other departments.
We don’t talk enough about wellness data

What were the hot topics at J.P. Morgan 2023? Here to discuss is Rob DeMichiei, Board Director, Strategic Advisor and Former CFO. Advent, Baylor Scott & White, CommonSpirit and Ascension all shared their “structured cost reduction initiatives”. We’re talking reductions in the hundreds of millions of dollars. How do labor costs tie into this? Have we reached the peak? Whatever the case may be, premium pay is now an embedded cost that's not going away. Equity and inclusion and value-based care have also become an embedded discussion. How daunting is the complexity of healthcare today? Intermountain’s presentation on their 50 year journey from fee for service to value based care gives us a big clue.

Key Points:
Health-care pricing doesn't work
There’s an operational trend towards integrated call centers
Walgreens and CVS both have strategies around significant acquisitions of physician groups
