This week, I am very pleased to share podcast episode #25, which is a huge milestone for us. I have been extremely fortunate to be able to feature some of the most influential leaders in healthcare and technology for the past year and a half. I’m super thrilled that Ed Marx, CIO of Cleveland Clinic, agreed to be our featured guest on this episode, considering Ed was my guest on our very first podcast episode in early 2018. Ed, who is currently also leading the digital transformation efforts for Cleveland Clinic, has a simple message for healthcare CIOs with a traditional mindset: disrupt or be disrupted.
Consumer health apps are making a huge comeback, after the dismal failure of an entire legion of digital health startups a few years ago. This time around, it is household brands like Walmart, Walgreens, and Amazon leading the charge. Traditional health systems are not going to be left behind. I discuss the new dynamic in my latest blog in CIO online.
We have curated a set of other interesting pieces related to the digital health companies, the changing org models in healthcare enterprises, and the aggressive moves by brick and mortar retailers reconfiguring their businesses to serve healthcare consumers.
