    Dr. Al Villarin Returns to CMIO Podcast

    Al was a previous guest on the show and he did such a great job in May of 2020 that I brought him back for the sequel. Al is now 1 year into his CMIO role at Nuvance Health and in this episode we discuss what that year has been like, his influence within the C-Suite, and the impact he is having on the care in his community. I know you will like the work he is doing with virtual scribes and the digital front door too.

    Assessing IT Culture with Adam Tallinger

    Assessing IT Culture with Adam Tallinger

    IT culture is a unique beast, especially in healthcare where there is such a focus on safety. "Go slow and say no" seems to be a common mantra and can create a lot of tension between operations and IT. Adam has a ton of experience with assessing and changing culture as a healthcare IT consultant. He and I discuss changing IT culture, treating IT more like a consultancy, partnering with operations, and having transparency around resources and projects.

    Interview with Ori Lotan

    Interview with Ori Lotan

    Ori is a CMIO with a ton of experience. His recent blog post about training physicians really resonated with me. Train the workflow, not the functionality. Build muscle memory. Allow providers to listen to the material at home and then let them practice. Provide as real a scenario as possible.

    CMIO News to Know for the Week of Sept 14

    CMIO News to Know for the Week of Sept 14

    This week I cover 2 stories about health insurers pushing us more towards value than volume. Humana launched 2 new bundled payments; one for CABG and another for shoulder replacement. United Health Group CEO discusses how the COVID pandemic is putting more pressure on primary care to switch to at risk contracts rather than fee for service, but also highlights the difficulties. CMIOs should be aware of the technology challenges these models bring to their clinicians. I also cover the INOVA breach of more than 1 million patients related to an attack that occurred to a 3rd party vendor that sells donor engagement software to non-profits. The most interesting article of the week comes out of the latest issue of JAMIA where a team developed an app that lays on top of Epic to provide the user a disease specific view with a very clean interface. This is the future. Watch for more of these SMART of FHIR apps coming out as the APIs open up. Those stories and more on this weeks CMIO News to Know.

    CMIO News to Know for the Week of Sept 6th

    Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. It was beautiful here on the east coast and the beaches were plenty busy. This week I cover some of Judy's comment about Epic's Cosmos, nursing optimization, and a bunch of articles around telehealth. One of the bigger moves last week in the telehealth space was Google investing $100 million in telehealth provider Amwell. Finally, I cover the AMA release of the 2021 CPT codes and the HUGE benefit coming our way for documentation relief on Jan 1.
