Meet Clay Johnston, MD, PhD, MPH, Cofounder & Chief Medical Officer, Harbor Health. They discuss why so many smart care redesign efforts end up as…yet another white paper. Clay talks about his “been there, rebuilt that” experience: you can absolutely reengineer pathways to reduce unnecessary procedures, shift work to the right team members, use tech for follow-ups, and improve outcomes. The problem is that in classic fee-for-service, the system often pays handsomely for the stuff you’re trying to avoid (unnecessary utilization) and barely pays for what actually keeps people well (coaching, check-ins, prevention, navigation).

S3E14: What's Trending NOW is the uncomfortable reality that healthcare’s AI adoption is happening faster than its governance, often invisibly. On this episode Shahid and guest Tamer Baker, Healthcare CTO at Zscaler, map the “hidden risk” landscape (data exfiltration, copilots turning loose internal content, prompt manipulation, model poisoning), then pivot to what actually works: measure AI usage, enable safe experimentation by blocking PHI/sensitive prompts, and anchor the program in Zero Trust while layering in AI-specific controls and education. The “B-roll” after the formal close goes even further: the two dig into who holds clinical and product risk as AI becomes more autonomous, why incumbents may hesitate, how regulation (HIPAA NPRM) and defense models (CMMC) might inform healthcare, and why “orchestration” becomes the next trust battleground.

Episode 80 The $91 Million Nobody Measured: eConsults and Specialty Access (HLTH) On this episode host Raj Sundar dives into the journey of Jomo, whose three decades in healthcare have been dedicated to improving access, with a special focus on LA County’s transformative eConsult system. They explore how this tool slashes specialist wait times from months to days for underserved populations, discuss the concept of “return on value” as a fuller measure of healthcare innovation, and reflect on the tension between profit, impact, and equity. The conversation highlights the ways technology can lift the baseline for vulnerable patients, outlines the collaborative benefits for specialists and PCPs, and considers how public health systems can better articulate their true value—beyond just financial ROI. We wrap with excitement about new data showing $91 million in annual value generated and a call to drive broader recognition of health tech’s role in democratizing care.
