FINN Voices: HIMSS26 with Diana Sage, CPHIMS, PMP, MURJ

Cardiology Data Pipelines and How to Improve their Clinical Value. Description: Clean, accurate, and timely clinical data is the non-negotiable precursor to AI success. Continuing our focus on data integrity, Beth Friedman, Senior Partner at FINN Partners, met with Diana Sage, Director of Portfolio Management at MURJ, live at HIMSS’26 to discuss the evolving landscape of clinical information. From the lessons of early EHR adoptions to the current data deluge produced by Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs), this episode explores the essential intersection of cardiology clinics and cardiology data integration. Sage also reflects on key takeaways from Dr. Mehmet Oz’s HIMSS’26 keynote, specifically addressing the technological fight against the nation’s leading killer: heart disease. Inside the episode Sage and Friedman discuss the CIED data challenge, bridging the gap between IT and clinicians, and simplifying workflows for cardiac arrhythmia professionals. Care teams have always deserved tools that reduce cognitive load, a truth that remains as vital today as it was during the first EHR implementations. Listen to this episode to learn how stakeholders across the cardiology continuum are securing the precise data they need to improve patient outcomes despite persistent interoperability hurdles.
