    The Infrastructure Powering the Future of Care with Robin Goldsmith, Practice Leader for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Verizon Business

    Connectivity becomes transformational in healthcare when it helps providers extend their expertise, close access gaps, and support care beyond the hospital walls. In this episode, Robin Goldsmith, Practice Leader for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Verizon Business, shares why connectivity is no longer just infrastructure.

Drawing on nearly two decades in the space, Robin explains how the pandemic exposed major gaps in access for patients without reliable devices or networks, and why that moment clarified the role telecommunications can play in healthcare transformation. He discusses the growing pressure on providers to improve patient and clinician experience while managing thin margins, workforce shortages, and rising demand for more distributed care. Robin also highlights how stronger network infrastructure, better partnerships, and new models for rural health, remote monitoring, and even robotic surgery can help health systems expand access and move care closer to patients.

    Why Better Healthcare Starts With Better Data with Abhi Sindhwani, Chief Growth Officer at Particle Health

    Healthcare interoperability only works when patient data is not just accessible, but trustworthy, contextualized, and actionable. In this episode, Abhi Sindhwani, Chief Growth Officer at Particle Health, shares how his own experience coordinating care for his mother after a stroke exposed the painful reality of fragmented records across health systems and state lines. He explains why interoperability is still broken, why simply giving patients access to raw data is not enough, and why healthcare organizations need validated, enriched, and structured information they can actually use. Abhi also discusses how Particle Health helps care teams access longitudinal patient records, receive meaningful alerts, and use AI-generated discharge summaries to reduce friction, improve trust, and help clinicians work at the top of their license. He highlights the importance of portability, the risks of information blocking, and the need to refocus the system around the patient.

  6. Why Application Decommissioning Is a Financial Lever for Health Systems with Jason Rose, CEO and Board Member of Clearsense

    Why Application Decommissioning Is a Financial Lever for Health Systems with Jason Rose, CEO and Board Member of Clearsense

    Application decommissioning only creates lasting value when health systems treat it as a long-term operating discipline rather than a one-time IT cleanup effort. In this episode, Jason Rose, CEO and Board Member of Clearsense, explains why application decommissioning has become one of the most important financial strategies for health systems facing margin pressure, rising costs, and growing demands for innovation. He shares that many organizations are carrying bloated application stacks filled with redundant, legacy, and “zombie” systems created by mergers, EHR rollouts, cloud migrations, and years of technical debt. Jason also discusses how Clearsense and Trinity Health built a programmatic approach to application rationalization that has already removed hundreds of applications and is approaching $100 million in software licensing cost savings. By combining governance, procurement planning, data extraction, curation, and decommissioning into an “assembly line” model, organizations can move faster, reduce risk, and create permanent savings that fund future priorities. Tune in to hear why application rationalization is no longer optional, and how health systems can turn it into a repeatable strategy for cost optimization and operational transformation.

    Your Life is Worth the Work: From Episodic Treatment to Continuous Recovery with Chris Thompson, founder and CEO of Sober Sidekick

Chris also critiques traditional treatment incentives and emphasizes the need for a more empathetic, proactive, and trust-based approach to long-term recovery. Tune in and learn how always-on, empathy-driven support can help people sustain recovery and rethink how addiction care is delivered! Resources: Connect with and follow Chris Thomson on LinkedIn.
