    The Voice People Trust = Nurses, with Alice Benjamin

    Who should the public trust when it comes to health information? More and more, the answer is nurses. In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, Rosa Hart sits down with nationally recognized nurse and media correspondent Alice Benjamin, MSN, ACNS-BC, FNP-C to talk about how nurses are stepping into media to educate the public and reshape healthcare conversations. With more than 25 years of nursing experience, Alice shares how she transitioned from bedside care to television and digital media, becoming a trusted voice helping audiences understand complex health topics. She explains why nurses bring a perspective that is often missing in mainstream health coverage and why the public increasingly turns to nurses for credible, practical guidance. Rosa and Alice explore the growing opportunities for nurses in media, from television and podcasts to social platforms and public education campaigns. They also discuss the skepticism nurses sometimes face from peers when stepping outside traditional roles and why building a personal platform can amplify both patient education and professional influence. In a time when misinformation spreads rapidly online, nurses have a unique opportunity to step forward as trusted educators. This conversation highlights why the nursing voice matters more than ever and how nurses can expand their impact beyond the bedside to reach millions.

    LIVE at ViVE: AI + Revenue Cycles with Brian Robertson

    Healthcare revenue cycle management is changing fast. Brian Robertson of VisiQuate explains how AI and data analytics improve hospital reimbursement. At the ViVE Health Tech Conference, Rosa Hart speaks with Brian Robertson, Founder and CEO of VisiQuate, about how artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics are transforming healthcare revenue cycle management. Brian explains how healthcare organizations are moving beyond traditional reporting toward predictive revenue cycle intelligence. Instead of reacting to denied claims, lost revenue, or delayed payments, health systems can now use AI-driven analytics to anticipate problems earlier and make smarter operational decisions. The conversation explores how AI, automation, and advanced analytics help hospitals improve reimbursement, reduce administrative waste, and navigate increasing payer complexity. These tools also help healthcare leaders strengthen financial sustainability while allowing clinicians to focus more time on patient care. Rosa and Brian also discuss the critical role nurses and frontline clinicians play in the successful adoption of new healthcare technologies. Innovation only works when technology aligns with real clinical workflows. As healthcare continues to evolve, data-driven decision making, automation, and collaboration between clinicians and technologists will be essential to building a more efficient and patient-centered healthcare system.

    64: Reviving Primary Care with Timothy Boyle

    Primary care is quietly collapsing - and most patients don’t even realize it. In this episode, Timothy Boyle pulls back the curtain on the mounting pressure facing small, independent primary care practices across the country. From crushing administrative demands to unsustainable financial models, the very doctors who know their patients best are struggling to survive. But this isn’t just about business. It’s about relationships. Timothy shares why personal connections between providers and patients are the backbone of effective care - and what happens emotionally to clinicians when they’re forced to practice in systems that prevent them from truly helping the people they serve. When small practices disappear, so does continuity, trust, and the human side of medicine. This conversation is a call to reinvest in primary care, not as a line item, but as the foundation of our healthcare system. Because when we support patient-centered practices, we protect both access and humanity in medicine.

    LIVE at ViVE: AI + Nurse Academy with Stephen Ferrara

    AI is already changing nursing. The real question is whether nurses will lead it or be sidelined by it. In this episode, I sit down with nurse practitioner Stephen to explore how clinical expertise, healthcare policy, and artificial intelligence intersect, and why nurses must be at the center of healthcare innovation. Stephen shares his journey from bedside care to policy engagement and now to advancing AI literacy for nurses. We talk about what many health tech companies misunderstand about nursing workflows, why documentation reform matters, and how nurse practitioners can influence system-level change. This conversation covers: • AI in nursing and healthcare workflows • Nurse leadership in technology integration • Healthcare policy and systemic reform • AI literacy for clinicians • Reimagining documentation and efficiency • The future role of nurse practitioners in innovation Nurses are experts in rapid assessment, risk-benefit decision-making, and managing complex care environments. Those skills translate directly into shaping medical technology, but only if we claim that seat at the table. If you care about the future of nursing, healthcare reform, digital health, or AI in medicine, this episode will expand how you think about your influence.

    Ep 63: The Critical Care Revolution with Kali Dayton

    The Awake & Walking ICU: Transforming Critical Care with Kali Dayton Sedation is not neutral. Immobility is not harmless. What we do in the ICU follows patients long after discharge. In this powerful episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, I sit down with Kali Dayton, DNP, AGACNP, critical care nurse practitioner, consultant, and founder of the Awake and Walking ICU movement. Kali shares how working in a unit that prioritized mobility and minimal sedation completely changed the way she understood critical care and why she now trains ICU teams nationwide to implement the ABCDEF bundle. We explore what truly happens when patients are deeply sedated. We unpack delirium, long-term cognitive harm, and the cultural norms that intensified during COVID when many ICUs shifted further toward sedation and away from mobility. Kali has walked into ICUs across the country and seen dramatic differences in patient care practices. What she found is clear. Outcomes improve when patients are awake, mobile, and engaged even while critically ill. This is a conversation about challenging outdated practices, elevating nursing advocacy, and embracing interdisciplinary collaboration to transform patient outcomes. If you care about critical care, sedation practices, delirium prevention, or patient-centered ICU transformation, this episode is essential listening.

    Ep 62: Building Sustainable Staffing with Rosemarie Aznavorian

    The nursing shortage isn’t coming. It’s here. And the real problem might surprise you. In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, I sit down with Rosemarie Aznavorian, DNP, RN, CENP, CCWP, CCRN, Executive Vice President of Client Services and Chief Clinical Officer at MedPro Healthcare Staffing, to break down the real drivers behind the national nursing workforce crisis - and what it will take to fix it. This is not a surface-level conversation about staffing. We talk about: Why over 90,000 qualified nursing school applicants were turned away The nursing faculty shortage and education bottleneck ICU, pediatric, and transplant leadership experience shaping workforce strategy Innovative staffing models (flex shifts, float pools, enterprise staffing offices) Nurse residency programs and retention strategies International nurse staffing and global workforce solutions What she would do with $1 billion to rebuild the nursing pipeline. With 44 years of RN experience — from ICU nurse at 19 to enterprise executive — Rosemarie brings a 360-degree systems view of healthcare staffing, patient logistics, and sustainable workforce design. If you're a nurse, healthcare leader, hospital executive, educator, or policymaker, this episode will challenge how you think about the future of nursing and healthcare delivery.

    Ep 61: Recognizing Nursing as STEM with Rebecca Love

    Nurses use pharmacology, operate complex medical technology, and apply statistical modeling daily - yet they're locked out of $1.2 billion in federal STEM funding. Rebecca Love is fighting to change that. WHAT'S AT STAKE: A national coalition of 100+ nursing organizations just petitioned the Department of Homeland Security to recognize nursing as a STEM profession. This change could unlock: WHY THIS MATTERS BEYOND NURSING: If you're building health tech, investing in healthcare, or care about AI in medicine, this affects you. Nurses are the frontline innovators using your technology, but they're systematically excluded from the funding and recognition that drives STEM careers forward. THE GENDER BIAS NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT: Rebecca doesn't sugarcoat it: nursing is 90% female, and she believes that's exactly why it's been overlooked. While male-dominated fields get priority STEM status, nurses who use pharmacology, operate advanced medical devices, and conduct statistical research are told they're not "technical enough." INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION: 🔬 The DHS Petition Explained 💰 The $1.2 Billion Lockout 🤖 AI & Health Tech's Nursing Problem 📊 Business Skills Nurses Need NOW 🏥 Healthcare System Transformation ⚖️ The Gender Equity Angle GUEST BIO: Rebecca Love, RN,MSN,FIEL, is co-chair of the Nursing is STEM Coalition (with Marion Leary from UPenn), First Nurse Featured on Ted.com, on Forbes Business Council, President Emeritus of SONSIEL, Chief Clinical Officer at Quadrivia AI, visiting professor at Florida State University, and founder of the Commission for Nurse Reimbursement.

Rosa and Saul explore key insights from the State of Account-Based Marketing 2025 report, including the role of AI in streamlining marketing workflows, where automation falls short, and why human connection and trust still matter deeply in healthcare. The conversation also highlights how transparency across patients, clinicians, and healthcare organizations can reduce waste, improve understanding, and drive better outcomes. Tune in to learn how targeted marketing, strategic storytelling, and thoughtful use of AI can help healthcare leaders, clinicians, and innovators create sustainable growth - without losing the human side of healthcare.
