    Dear Health Systems, Nobody ‘Wants’ to Use You

    No one wakes up hoping to use a hospital. Patients do not browse health systems the way they browse airlines, hotels, or retailers. They do not long for novelty, delight, or emotional connection in the usual sense. They arrive when something hurts, when something feels wrong, or when uncertainty becomes too heavy to ignore. In healthcare, usage is driven by need, not desire.  This distinction changes everything about how a brand is built, perceived, and sustained. It also explains why many branding conversations feel disconnected from patient experience. Consumer research from NRC Health and Press Ganey consistently shows that trust and confidence are the primary drivers of choice and recommendation when stakes are high. Affection or excitement play a minimal role.

    Why the Future Belongs to Platforms, Plug-Ins, and Stacks

    Why platforms, platform-aligned solutions, and upgrade portfolios are replacing standalone products. Healthcare is entering a phase where the economics of growth have fundamentally changed. The companies scaling fastest are not launching more features, more products, or more narrowly defined point solutions. Instead, they are making a different kind of investment by building platforms designed for reuse.

    The Innovation Gatekeeper - Fast-Cycle ROI; Why financial validation now needs to happen in 1–2 budget cycles, not 3–5 years

    Healthcare innovation still loves elegant stories. Unfortunately, elegant stories don’t get funded when budgets are constrained. For years, the industry has relied on value narratives that sound reasonable but collapse under scrutiny. The most common failure is distance in the value chain. They often sound like: “If imaging quality improves, outcomes improve. If outcomes improve, costs go down.” Each step may be directionally true, but between the first link and the last sit dozens of confounding variables, including physician behavior, care pathways, payer policy, patient compliance, downstream utilization, and time. When value depends on all of them lining up, it is not value; it is a wish.

    The End of “One More Tool”; Why the Next Decade Belongs to Connectors, Integrators, and Platform Layers.

    If you’ve attended any healthcare conference, a pattern emerges so consistently that it becomes impossible to ignore: healthcare is not suffering from a lack of innovation. It is suffering from an oversupply of disconnected innovations, where each one is well-intentioned, each one promising value, and each one adding yet another layer to an already unmanageable tech landscape.

    Building a Better Backbone and the Role of Primary Care in the US

    The US healthcare system is privatized and built around a capitalist model. Within that framework, one flaw stands out: unlike nearly every other high-performing health system in the world, the United States lacks a true backbone. There is no layer that reliably guides people, connects decisions over time, or helps them confidently take the next step. The solution is the backbone it never built, and that backbone is primary care.

    Workforce Reconfiguration, Not Workforce Shortage; It’s not people and patient ratios, it’s the care model and sub-models themselves

    Healthcare does not lack workers; it lacks a work model capable of supporting them. Modern care assumed infinite elasticity from clinicians, but that model has reached its limit. What comes next is not incremental change; it is reconfiguration: team-based, patient-centered, digitally enabled, and economically aligned with value. When the work is redesigned, the workforce stabilizes. This necessary reconfiguration is not a trend; it is an inescapable reality.

    The Naming Maze; How Getting Lost in Healthcare Taxonomy and Wayfinding Costs Millions

    The complexity of the U.S. healthcare system is magnified by inconsistent, fragmented naming of care locations. Terms such as hospital, medical center, and institute may appear interchangeable, but in practice they introduce confusion, increase the risk of surprise billing, and fuel costly administrative errors.
