Episode #160. The Hidden Cost Of Siloed Data And How AI Finally Breaks It Open, with Doug Fridsma, CMIO at Health Universe
Description
The future of healthcare hinges on unlocking siloed data and enabling agentic, AI-driven innovation.
In this episode, Doug Fridsma, CMIO at Health Universe and former federal leader in health IT, discusses the historic shift from paper to electronic records, the challenges of data consolidation, and why lazy data must be activated to improve patient care. Doug breaks down how modern agentic AI, ambient technologies, and orchestration layers can ultimately make health systems more agile, much like the transition from mainframes to personal computing. He also explores the creation of horizontal platforms that integrate once and deploy multiple solutions, the importance of standards such as FHIR and CDA, and the need to empower bottom-up innovation within large healthcare systems. Finally, Doug argues that future transformation depends on patients themselves, just as the automobile reshaped medicine a century ago.
Tune in and learn how AI, data accessibility, and patient-centered innovation are reshaping the next era of healthcare!
