Episode description

As a follow up to a recent thought leadership roundtable, this week’s Leader to Leader podcast episode focuses on how healthcare leaders can work to solve the “big four” top challenges in digital healthcare today: financial pressures, labor/workforce issues, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity.

Russ Branzell, President and CEO of CHIME, meets with Divurgent’s Executive Vice President of Delivery, Joe Grinstead, MBA, Healthcare Technology, and Divurgent’s Vice President of Delivery, Dana Locke, to get their opinions on resolving today’s difficult healthcare challenges.

They discuss leveraging telemedicine, rethinking operating models, and developing a digital competency program to train the workforce. They also talk about the rapid changes in technology, how to keep up, and how to balance innovation and controls on technology. Plus, tune in to hear their thoughts on ChatGPT and the best-case uses for it in healthcare applications!
