What happens when you put three of healthcare’s sharpest minds in the same room? You get a masterclass in what it’s actually going to take to fix a broken system.
In this special panel episode, host Aaron Strout is joined by Dr. Amy Abernethy, co-founder of Highlander Health, former FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner, and hematologist-oncologist with 500+ published works; Seema Verma, EVP & GM of Oracle Health and Life Sciences and former CMS Administrator who championed the landmark Patients Over Paperwork initiative; and Christopher Kunney, FHIMSS-credentialed digital transformation strategist, Managing Partner at IOTech Consulting, and 2024 HIMSS Changemaker Award recipient.
Together they tackle AI’s real promise and persistent hype, the EHR burden on clinicians, why interoperability remains a willingness problem more than a technology one, the dangers of careless digital transformation for underserved communities, and what it takes to lead through change without losing the human element of care. This one is not to be missed.
