The Clinical Realist

Dr. Sarah Matt

Healthcare innovation is broken. We have billion-dollar AI running on 1990s infrastructure. We have startups dying in "Pilotitis." And we have leaders frozen by analysis paralysis. Dr. Sarah Matt (The Clinical Realist) is here to fix the disconnect between the tech stack and the trauma bay. Join Dr. Matt—physician, strategist, and author of The Borderless Healthcare Revolution—as she cuts through the hype to reveal what actually works in modern medicine. No buzzwords. No fluff. Just the raw, unvarnished truth about how to lead, build, and survive in the future of healthcare. If you are tired of the "Star Trek" vision and want the "Clinical Reality," this is your show.

    Ep 2: Star Trek vs. The Flintstones: The Reality of Hospital Tech

    Are you trying to run Star Trek software on Flintstones infrastructure? In this episode of The Borderless Healthcare Revolution, Dr. Sarah Matt—the Clinical Realist—dissects the massive gap between what the technology industry thinks happens in a hospital and what actually happens on a Tuesday morning. We’re diving into the "Tech Trap," where billion-dollar valuations meet beige jamming fax machines from 1998. Dr. Matt breaks down why so many startups suffer from "Pilotitis"—the fatal condition of getting stuck in a pilot program because you solved a clinical problem but created a workflow disaster. Tune in to hear: The Star Trek vs. Flintstones Problem: Why your predictive analytics won't work if the hospital is still waiting on a dial tone.The Danger Zone: Why the "disruption" mindset often leads to death in the ER, and why we need reliability instead.The Cure: Why founders and leaders need to stop trying to be the Uber of healthcare and start being the plumber.If your solution doesn't work when the Wi-Fi is down and the unit is short-staffed at 2 AM, it doesn't work.
