Welcome to another episode of Redesigning Healthcare Unfiltered. I’m RaeAnn Grossman, CEO of HLTHWORKS, and today I’m joined by Brian Singer, a seasoned Chief Technology Officer with experience spanning health plans, providers, vendors, and healthcare-adjacent services. In this episode, we dive deep into a pressing topic shaking up the industry: the messy tidal wave of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

Together, we explore the mounting challenges of integrating AI, from regulatory complexity and technology pitfalls to cultural shifts and accountability in day-to-day operations. We tackle the practical realities of ensuring data quality, establishing disciplined processes, and building effective governance amidst relentless regulatory changes at federal, state, and organizational levels.

You’ll hear candid insights about the dangers of shadow AI, the importance of cross-team collaboration, and how organizations must transform their culture to survive and thrive in the face of unstoppable technological waves. Whether you’re a C-suite leader, operator, or simply navigating the evolving healthcare landscape, this episode will arm you with the perspective and strategies needed to redesign healthcare with rigor, transparency, and resilience.
