Healthcare IT Today Interviews

Healthcare organizations keep adding new tools, yet frontline frustration continues to grow. More dashboards. More data. Slower decisions. This conversation digs into why focusing on integrating existing technologies together can make a bigger difference for clinicians and patients.
In this interview, Josh Clark, Vice President of Quality & Safety Operating Systems at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), shares what he’s seeing across health systems globally. He explains why integration, not acquisition, has become the real bottleneck in healthcare IT, how delayed data undermines frontline decision-making, and where process-level insights can improve care in real time.
Josh also discusses why IHI often advises organizations to pause new technology adoption, how CIOs can gain space to focus on integration, and where AI has the most practical potential to improve quality and safety without adding more burden.

Imaging demand keeps rising, but building new capacity is slow, expensive, and disruptive. What if mobile imaging could feel less like a workaround and more like an extension of the hospital?
In this interview from RSNA25, Henry Howe, CEO of Akumin, and Greg Sitkiewicz, Chief Commercial Officer, explain why the company introduced a mobile drop trailer that lowers directly to ground level. They discuss how small design decisions change patient access, staff workflow, setup time, and imaging throughput, especially for health systems dealing with backlogs or rural coverage gaps.
You’ll hear how the drop trailer removes stairs and lifts, deploys in minutes, integrates with hospital IT systems, and supports higher patient volumes.

[SPONSORED] Health IT roadmaps used to span years. Now they are collapsing into months. The question many leaders are asking is whether vendors can actually keep up.
In this interview, David Cohen, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Greenway Health, explains why the pace of change in healthcare has outgrown traditional multi-year planning cycles. He shares how Greenway is shifting to shorter delivery timelines to stay aligned with what ambulatory practices need right now, using provider–payer data exchange as a clear example of where faster execution matters.
The conversation also touches on why manual workflows are becoming harder to justify, how expectations around delivery speed have changed, and what healthcare IT leaders should listen for when vendors talk about their roadmaps.
How have shorter timelines changed what you expect from your technology partners?

AI is everywhere in healthcare. The challenge now facing providers is determining where it actually helps without getting in the way.
In this conversation, Demetri Giannikopoulos, Chief Innovation Officer at Rad AI, unpacks why radiology has become one of the most practical proving grounds for clinical AI and how specialization changes clinician confidence in the technology.
He shares his view on why radiology workflows are uniquely suited for AI support, how staffing shortages are shaping adoption, and why trust comes from AI that understands clinical context rather than adding more noise. The discussion also explores how reporting and dictation have become natural control points for AI that supports accuracy, throughput, and clinical judgment.

Radiology teams are stretched thin. Cloud imaging, once pitched as a boon for IT teams, is now seen as a technology that gives radiologists time back, allows them to work the way they need to, and improves access for patients.
In this conversation, Dario Arfelli, Global Marketing Lead for Imaging Informatics at Philips, breaks down why cloud imaging discussions have shifted away from infrastructure and toward time, access, and workforce reality. He explains how cloud-based diagnostic viewing is changing where radiologists can work, how IT teams manage upgrades and security, and why flexibility has become a staffing issue, not just a technical one.
