On this episode host Daniel Marino is joined by healthcare access leaders Jon Fullerton and Jenny Hart to discuss what it takes to create a more coordinated and sustainable access strategy.

S1E10: The Challenges and Opportunities of Integrating AI into Health Systems On the episode host Shahid Shah addresses the difference between organizations that effectively implement AI and those that only create plans. The key to success is not the AI technology itself, but the organization's ability to identify and amplify its unique strengths, or "native alpha.". Shahid argues that health systems should focus on specific, measurable outcomes and use AI to enhance existing advantages rather than seeking generic AI strategies.

Stop Building That. A CIO's Test for Buy, Build, or Partner When Edmund Siy became chief information and technology officer at Bon Secours Mercy Health in May 2025, he told Becker's his opening move was cybersecurity and infrastructure, with AI to follow. Plenty of systems were pointing at pilots that year. He pointed at the plumbing. Fifteen months later the foundation is largely built and AI has stopped being a differentiator. Ambient documentation, governance committees, an AI officer on the org chart. Table stakes. Which means the hard call is no longer whether to adopt. It is where a forty seven hospital system spends its own engineering hours, where it co-develops with somebody else, and where it should admit a capability has gone commodity and just buy the thing. This is Edmund's actual test for making that call. Audit your build list. Anything three vendors already do well is payroll, not strategy. Fix the foundation before you scale AI. Infrastructure sets the ceiling on what you can safely deploy. Before signing a co-development deal, write down what you do when their roadmap slips. Put a review date on the three-year roadmap and name who is allowed to break it.
