Description

Healthcare executive Jen McGonigle has worked at the intersection of healthcare and technology for over 20 years. Her experience has taught her that regardless of what challenges technology can bring, its innovations far outweigh any cons. 

 

In our first episode of the season, we sit down with Jen McGonigle of Optum Rx for a chat about cultivating innovation. We discuss innovation at two levels. One is the level of technology—including Optum Rx’s products and capabilities that help tackle prohibitive drug pricing and treatment delays. The other is a higher-level view across healthcare—such as the prior authorization innovations made possible via cross-industry collaboration. Join us as we look at what spurs innovation in American healthcare and how it can catalyze good for patients and those who care for them.

Really enjoyed your conversation with Jen McGonigle and how you explored innovation in healthcare. It reminded me of the time I used the click here service to streamline all my documentation and verification needs—especially when managing student visas and official forms abroad. This kind of forward-thinking approach applies not just to healthcare tech but also to everyday administrative workflows. Thanks for sharing such an insightful episode!
