Health Cent$: The Future of Healt IT with Dr. Nick van Terheyden

What If Healthcare Were Actually Easy? Simplifying the “first mile” of healthcare, helping patients get to the right care without unnecessary ER or urgent-care visits. Instead of more apps and complexity, patients can simply text experienced physicians who provide guidance, coordination, and follow-up. The real innovation is the human service behind the technology. This includes navigating insurance, geography, availability, licensing, and fragmented care. The results show significant employer savings, lower patient costs, less wasted time, and happier physicians. Sometimes healthcare innovation isn't about adding technology, it’s about removing friction and making healthcare easier.

S2E3: The Best AI Is the One You Don’t Notice, with Sandra Johnson, Senior Vice President of Client Services at CliniComp On this episode, host Dr. Heather Bassett welcomes Sandra Johnson, Senior Vice President of Client Services at CliniComp, to make the case that the most valuable AI in healthcare is often the kind nobody notices at all. She walks through CliniComp’s “system as a service” model, which bundles hardware, software, and support into a single fixed-cost relationship to eliminate the escalation costs that quietly strain hospital budgets, and explains how the company’s Intrinsic AI is embedded directly into existing workflows rather than bolted on as a separate tool. Sandra and Dr. Bassett dig into what drives AI adoption in healthcare. They also discuss what EHRs might look like in the next five years, as ambient listening and embedded intelligence work to make the technology disappear so clinicians can look up from the screen. Throughout, Sandra’s message is consistent: move deliberately now so that scaling later doesn’t require course-correction.
