    EP49 - Leadership by Design: Creating Cultures Where Caregivers Thrive - Elizabeth Jeanes

    Healthcare leaders often talk about culture, engagement, and retention. But what if many workforce challenges aren't simply staffing problems at all? In this episode of Beyond the Blueprint, host Kris Baird and co-host Keith Washington welcome nurse leader and workforce strategist Elizabeth Jeanes for a conversation about the connection between leadership, culture, and workforce design. Drawing on years of experience in nursing leadership and organizational development, Elizabeth explores why culture isn't built through mission statements or posters on a wall—it's built through consistent leadership behaviors, accountability, and the daily decisions leaders make about what they tolerate and what they reinforce. Together, they discuss leadership burnout, generational differences in the workforce, the importance of purpose-driven leadership, and the difficult reality of managing toxic high performers. The conversation also examines how healthcare organizations can create environments where caregivers feel valued, connected, and supported—and why those efforts ultimately impact both retention and patient care. Whether you're a nurse leader, executive, frontline manager, or healthcare innovator, this episode offers practical insights into building cultures where both caregivers and patients can thrive. Key Takeaways Culture is shaped by leadership behaviors, not mission statements. Organizations often achieve the results their systems are designed to produce. Leadership development is essential for workforce stability and retention. Toxic high performers can cause significant damage to team culture. Gen Z caregivers place a high value on culture, belonging, and trust. Strong leaders help teams stay connected to purpose and meaning. Leadership burnout is an often-overlooked challenge in healthcare. Psychological safety requires active leadership and accountability. Technology should help caregivers spend more time with patients, not less. Positive culture change often begins with influential frontline team members.

    EP48 - Healthcare Doesn't Have a Staffing Problem: Rethinking Workforce Design - Elizabeth Jeanes

    What if healthcare's staffing crisis isn't really about staffing at all? In this episode, Elizabeth Jeanes, founder of Jeanes Strategic Consulting and a healthcare leader with more than 20 years of experience in nursing, leadership development, and organizational strategy, challenges one of healthcare's biggest assumptions: that workforce shortages are purely a numbers problem. Instead, Elizabeth makes the case for rethinking workforce design from the ground up, starting with preceptors, frontline influencers, and the leadership systems that shape culture from day one. Her take? The people are already in your building. We're just not developing them. Beyond the Blueprint Host Keith Washington and Elizabeth unpack generational intelligence, why quad pay won't fix a broken culture, how preceptor programs should be leadership development, not skills training, and what it actually takes to earn the loyalty of a workforce that's done handing it over for free. Whether you're building teams, leading culture change, or rethinking workforce strategy, this episode offers a fresh blueprint for the future of healthcare leadership. Key Takeaways • Healthcare's staffing crisis may be less about shortages and more about workforce design. • Preceptors and frontline influencers have outsized impact on culture, retention, and new hire success. • Leadership is an action, not a title, and organizations should develop informal leaders early. • Generational intelligence helps leaders better understand what motivates today's workforce and why loyalty looks different now. • Younger workers value mental health, work-life balance, and professional growth as much as compensation. • Strong onboarding and evidence-based training programs can improve retention and reduce costly turnover. • The future of workforce strategy is not just hiring talent, but building pathways to grow the talent you already have.

    Mar 29

    EP47 - Teaching Doctors in the Age of AI: Trust, Risk, and the Future of Clinical Thinking

    In this episode, we explore how AI is reshaping physician training — and what medical educators must do now to keep pace. Dr. May Lin (Touro University), Dr. Saroj Misra (A.T. Still University), Dr. Renu Agnihotri (A.T. Still University), and Dr. Shivam Vedak (Stanford University) share what's working and what isn't when it comes to preparing residents and medical students to use AI responsibly. From faculty development and inconsistent guidance across clinical sites, to automation bias and the pressure to see more patients faster, the panel examines the hard tradeoffs facing medical education today — and why building critical thinking alongside AI fluency is the only path forward. Key Takeaways Faculty development is critical — attendings must understand AI tools before they can effectively guide trainees. Consistent AI policies across clinical training sites help reduce mixed messages for residents and students. AI should be thought of as augmented intelligence, not a shortcut or replacement for clinical reasoning. Trainees who understand how AI models work are better equipped to recognize when they fail. Automation bias is a real risk — trainees may accept incorrect AI outputs without sufficient scrutiny. Core clinical reasoning skills must be developed independently of AI, especially in early training. Hospital productivity pressures can undermine the thorough, deliberate habits that good training requires. Patients using AI without clinical background face similar — and potentially greater — risks than trainees. The EHR era offers a cautionary tale: physicians must engage early to shape how AI tools are built and deployed. Building a healthy relationship with AI from the start of medical education sets the foundation for safer clinical practice. Episode Highlights 00:00 Intro 02:29 Are We Training Doctors for the World They're Entering? 04:05 Meet the Guests 05:08 Aligning Faculty and Trainees on AI Use 08:36 Moving Beyond the "AI as Cheating" Mindset 10:20 Which AI Tools Show the Most Clinical Promise? 13:05 Building the Right Relationship with AI from Day One 15:27 Why Upskilling the Whole Generation Matters 18:58 Teaching How AI Models Work — and Fail 20:01 The Faculty Development Challenge 20:39 How Do You Know a Trainee Truly Understands? 25:32 Balancing Thoroughness with Hospital Productivity Pressure 27:15 AI Should Improve Care Quality, Not Just Speed 29:32 When Patients Use AI Without Clinical Reasoning 31:15 Dr. Misra's Challenge: Should Any Task Be Off-Limits for AI? 33:18 Renu: The Cognitive Exoskeleton and Productive Struggle 34:33 May: A Ban on Banning AI 36:52 Shivam: Protect the Process of Clinical Reasoning 37:50 Final Thoughts & Closing Guests: Dr. May Lin, Dr. Saroj Misra, Dr. Renu Agnihotri, Dr. Shivam Vedak Host: Gregg Malkary - Lighthouse Healthtech Cohost: Keith Washington - Companions in Courage Foundation Sponsored by: Simplifi Medical  Audio/Video: Tim Jones - Health Nuts Media Marketing: Josh Troop - Troop-Creative Learn More at: www.beyond-blueprint.com

    EP46 - AMDIS Roundtable - Restoring Clinical Cognition in the AI-Ready EHR

    In this AMDIS Roundtable, Dr. Eve Cunningham (Cadence), Dr. Howard Landa (Adventist Health), and Dr. Deepti Pandita (UCI Health) explore what it really means to build an AI-ready EHR. Moving beyond features and vendor roadmaps, they examine how data governance, workflow design, and clinical validation shape the physician's day — from inbox overload to exam-room disconnect. Together, they discuss shadow AI, cognitive burden, and the hard tradeoffs between optimizing legacy workflows and redesigning care. Their message is clear: the next generation EHR isn't about adding more technology — it's about restoring clinical cognition and rebuilding trust in how care gets delivered. Key Takeaways Bad data leads to bad AI — governance must come first. AI is math, not magic — noisy and inconsistent data amplify risk. Clinical validation is as important as data hygiene for meaningful AI use. The EHR disrupts connection when clinicians must focus on screens instead of patients. Ambient documentation restores presence but does not yet create a true intelligent clinical partner. Most AI tools solve isolated tasks, not the full end-to-end care workflow. Health systems need internal prompt and AI literacy — clinicians are not trained engineers. Third-party innovation fills gaps, but long contracts slow adaptation. Shadow AI often signals unmet needs, not noncompliance. Governance should enable safe experimentation rather than block innovation. Clinicians remain accountable for AI-driven decisions under current regulations. Patients are rapidly adopting AI tools, often without reliable guardrails. AI's highest near-term value is reducing cognitive and administrative burden. True progress requires redesigning workflows, not endlessly optimizing legacy processes. Leadership prioritization, not technology limits, often slows transformation. The next generation EHR must restore clinical cognition and trust. Episode Highlights 00:00 | The Key to a Successful EHR: Restoring Clinical Cognition 02:36 | When the EHR Slows Care Instead of Supporting It 01:08 | Why This Isn't About Features or Vendor Roadmaps 02:36 | When the EHR Slows Care Instead of Supporting It 03:46 | AI Is Math, Not Magic 04:05 | Data Governance as the Prerequisite for AI 05:23 | Governance + Clinical Validation = Actionable Intelligence 06:44 | The Keyboard Breaks the Sacred Patient Encounter 08:25 | Ambient Tools and the Return of Joy in Medicine 09:19 | The "Intelligence-Ready" EHR Vision 11:10 | Why Clinicians Aren't Prompt Engineers 12:39 | Is Epic Cosmos Ready for Prime Time? 14:01 | Contextual, Specialty-Specific Views at the Point of Care 15:08 | Third-Party Innovation vs EHR Vendor Lag 16:49 | When to Replace vs Layer New AI Tools 18:09 | Shadow AI as a Signal of Unmet Need 19:08 | Enabling Safe Experimentation Through Governance 20:55 | If AI Makes a Mistake, Who Is Liable? 23:35 | Where AI Should Help First: The Patient Journey 25:19 | Patients Are Already Using AI for Medical Advice 27:33 | Cognitive Scaffolding: Removing Clinical Noise 28:31 | Intelligent Synthesis vs Data Mining 29:13 | The Peer Challenge: How Do We Move 2–3x Faster? 30:02 | Leadership Indecision Slows Transformation 30:47 | Stop Optimizing Legacy Workflows 31:46 | Final Message: Technology Isn't the Barrier Anymore   Guests: Dr. Eve Cunningham, Dr. Howard Landa, Dr. Deepti Pandita Host: Gregg Malkary - Lighthouse Healthtech Cohost: Keith Washington - Companions in Courage Foundation Sponsored by: Simplifi Medical & Storage Systems Unlimited Audio/Video: Tim Jones - Health Nuts Media Marketing: Josh Troop - Troop-Creative Learn More at: www.beyond-blueprint.com

    EP45 - AMDIS Roundtable - Data Governance at the Point of Care

    In this AMDIS collaboration, Dr. Mark Pierce (former Parkview Health), Dr. Howard Landa (Adventist Health), and Dr. John Lee (HIT Peak Advisors) examine why data governance is ultimately a patient-care issue, not just an IT function. Drawing on real bedside decisions, EHR transitions, and conflicting metrics, they show how unclear definitions and hidden data create hesitation, workarounds, and loss of clinician trust. Together, they discuss the leadership commitment and investment required to improve data quality, and why clean data is the prerequisite for safe and meaningful AI in healthcare. Key Takeaways Unclear data definitions slow care — clinicians pause, double-check, or guess at the bedside. Data governance is a patient-safety function, not an IT committee exercise. Most data problems are silent — staff create workarounds instead of reporting issues. Different departments define the same metric differently, eroding organizational trust. Leadership wants fast ROI, but governance requires long-term investment and persistence. AI magnifies bad data — clean inputs matter more than advanced algorithms. Use AI first to clean and structure data before deploying clinical AI tools. Start governance with visible problems (e.g., length-of-stay definitions, data sharing). Tie governance efforts to active initiatives to gain momentum and participation. Organizations rarely advertise good governance — you see it in outcomes, not org charts. Clinician trust is fragile; one bad data-driven decision can last for years. Accessible, synthesized data enables faster decisions and real improvement cycles. Episode Highlights 00:00 | Why Data Governance Gets Ignored 02:01 | Data Governance as a Patient-Safety Issue 04:25 | When Data Helps — and When It Slows Care 06:29 | Too Much Information, Not Enough Clarity 09:14 | The "Raiders of the Lost Ark" Data Warehouse Problem 11:04 | Why Leaders Delay Governance Work 13:06 | The Real Investment Required 14:28 | The PD-Not-PDSA Cycle in Healthcare 15:16 | AI Fails Without Clean Data 16:55 | What Breaks When Definitions Differ 18:05 | Bad Data at the Bedside: A Stroke Decision 20:19 | How Trust in Data Is Lost 23:13 | Silent Workarounds Across Hospitals 25:18 | Where Organizations Should Start 27:15 | Making Data Actionable for Clinicians 29:26 | Governance as Organizational DNA 31:24 | Aligning AI Governance With Data Governance 32:13 | Use AI to Clean Data First 34:15 | Bias, Training Data, and Clinical Risk 36:29 | Final Message: When Rules Are Unclear, Care Suffers Guests: Dr. Mark Pierce, Dr. Howard Landa, Dr. John Lee Host: Gregg Malkary - Lighthouse Healthtech Cohost: Keith Washington - Companions in Courage Foundation Sponsored by: Simplifi Medical & Storage Systems Unlimited Audio/Video: Tim Jones - Health Nuts Media Marketing: Josh Troop - Troop-Creative Learn More at: www.beyond-blueprint.com

    EP44 - Beyond the Pilot: Scaling Ambient Listening at Sutter Health - Dr. Veena Jones and Stephanie Driscoll

    In this episode, we're joined by two leaders from Sutter Health who are scaling ambient listening across their enterprise: Dr. Veena (Goel) Jones, Chief Medical Informatics Officer, and Stephanie Driscoll, Vice President of Digital Implementation. In 2025 alone, Sutter onboarded more than 3,100 clinicians to ambient listening—moving well beyond pilot programs to true system-wide adoption. Together, they share what it takes to make that scale possible, from EHR integration and workflow redesign to governance, training, and change management. Key Takeaways Ambient listening only scales when the EHR foundation is ready. Workflow standardization and template cleanup made enterprise adoption possible. In 2025, Sutter onboarded more than 3,100 clinicians—moving ambient listening beyond pilot and into system-wide infrastructure. AI adoption is operational, not just technical. Governance, enrollment processes, and structured onboarding determined success. Clinicians pulled the technology. Ambient listening spread because it reduced cognitive burden—not because it was mandated. Full Epic integration eliminated friction and accelerated both ambulatory and inpatient adoption. Ambient listening is a gateway. Documentation is just the beginning—queued orders and future AI workflows depend on foundational readiness.

    EP43 - Cybersecurity as Patient Safety: A 2026 CMIO Playbook - Dr. Christian Dameff, Steven Ramirez, Dr. Sean Kelly

    In this episode we're joined by Dr. Sean Kelly (Imprivata), Dr. Christian Dameff (UC San Diego Health), and Steven Ramirez (Renown Health) to explore a critical yet often misunderstood frontier: the intersection of cybersecurity and patient safety. Together, we unpack how clinical leaders can prepare for digital outages, ransomware attacks, and the escalating threat landscape—not as isolated IT events, but as high-stakes clinical disruptions. From real-time decision-making to cultural readiness, this conversation is a practical playbook for CMIOs navigating care delivery in an age where system failures can mean delayed diagnoses, canceled surgeries, and compromised outcomes. Whether you lead tech, safety, or care teams, this episode offers a bold call to reframe cybersecurity as a core component of clinical resilience—and why every hospital needs a downtime plan that actually works. Key Takeaways Cybersecurity is clinical safety. Outages impact real patients—diverting ambulances, delaying chemo, and compromising care at the bedside. Generic downtime plans don't cut it. Too often, they're dusty binders with vague bullet points. Real preparedness requires clinical playbooks tailored to workflows, not just systems. Clinician training must go beyond checkbox compliance. Studies show most phishing training has minimal impact. Real-time, workflow-based education is more effective. Paper downtime isn't intuitive anymore. Many clinicians—especially newer ones—have never documented without digital tools. Drill-based preparedness is critical. Security and speed can coexist. With adaptive tools, it's possible to embed safeguards that protect systems without blocking care delivery. Every department responds differently to cyber events. Cross-functional coordination—especially between IT and clinical ops—is key for effective triage and recovery. Identity is the new perimeter. Over 80% of cyber events stem from compromised credentials. Guardrails and behavior-based analytics are essential. We need to measure what works. Cyber tools should be held to the same evidence-based standards as clinical interventions. CMIOs must bridge the gap. As translators between the boardroom, command center, and bedside, they're uniquely positioned to lead a new model of digital resilience.

    EP42 - Why RTLS Is Core Infrastructure in Healthcare - Todd Frantz, Ali Youssef, Paul Zieske

    In this episode we're joined by Todd Frantz (AdventHealth), Ali Youssef (Henry Ford Health), and Paul Zieske (Why Where Matters) to explore how next-gen real-time location systems are reshaping care delivery. Together, we dive into the evolution from dots-on-a-map asset tracking to intelligent platforms that drive staff safety, streamline workflows, and generate high-fidelity data for AI. From ED duress alerts to ambient analytics and digital wayfinding, this conversation is a roadmap for health leaders rethinking how hospitals move, sense, and respond in real time. Whether you're planning a new facility or optimizing frontline operations, this episode will change how you think about RTLS—and why it belongs at the center of your infrastructure strategy. Key Takeaways RTLS 2.0 goes beyond asset tracking—it integrates workflow, staffing, and safety data for real-time decision-making. Hospitals lose thousands of staff hours each year searching for equipment, impacting patient care and satisfaction. Successful RTLS adoption requires cultural alignment, transparency, and trust—not just technology deployment. Staff duress alerts and par level management are delivering fast wins and improving frontline safety. Enterprise-wide RTLS platforms unlock more value than siloed deployments—especially when integrated with EHRs and facility systems. High-fidelity location data is foundational for AI-driven insights, workflow automation, and digital twins. The ROI of RTLS includes reduced burnout, improved patient flow, equipment utilization, and faster care team coordination. Integration remains a challenge—vendors must support open standards and shared APIs to break down data silos. RTLS should be treated like core infrastructure—designed into new buildings, not bolted on after. Emerging tech like computer vision will extend RTLS into human activity recognition, situational awareness, and predictive care.
