  • Why Application Decommissioning Is a Financial Lever for Health Systems with Jason Rose, CEO and Board Member of Clearsense

    Why Application Decommissioning Is a Financial Lever for Health Systems with Jason Rose, CEO and Board Member of Clearsense
    Apr 9 2026
    Application decommissioning only creates lasting value when health systems treat it as a long-term operating discipline rather than a one-time IT cleanup effort. In this episode, Jason Rose, CEO and Board Member of Clearsense, explains why application decommissioning has become one of the most important financial strategies for health systems facing margin pressure, rising costs, and growing demands for innovation. He shares that many organizations are carrying bloated application stacks filled with redundant, legacy, and “zombie” systems created by mergers, EHR rollouts, cloud migrations, and years of technical debt. Jason also discusses how Clearsense and Trinity Health built a programmatic approach to application rationalization that has already removed hundreds of applications and is approaching $100 million in software licensing cost savings. By combining governance, procurement planning, data extraction, curation, and decommissioning into an “assembly line” model, organizations can move faster, reduce risk, and create permanent savings that fund future priorities. Tune in to hear why application rationalization is no longer optional, and how health systems can turn it into a repeatable strategy for cost optimization and operational transformation.

  • When Law Meets Lived Experience: Building Ethical Data Systems for Behavioral Health with Helen Oscislawski, Legal Counsel at Attorneys at Oscislawski LLC

    When Law Meets Lived Experience: Building Ethical Data Systems for Behavioral Health with Helen Oscislawski, Legal Counsel at Attorneys at Oscislawski LLC
    Mar 31 2026
    What if the biggest barrier to better behavioral health outcomes isn’t access to data, but how carefully we protect it? In this episode, Helen Oscislawski, a healthcare data privacy and interoperability attorney, explains that behavioral health and substance use data require stricter privacy protections due to their sensitivity and history of misuse, and are governed by laws such as 42 CFR Part 2. She highlights how modern interoperability and AI create new opportunities to share data more precisely, but also introduce greater legal and ethical risks. Updated regulations now allow more flexible data sharing to improve care coordination, while introducing stronger enforcement and penalties for non-compliance. She emphasizes that success depends on “privacy by design,” strong governance, and a deep understanding of consent frameworks to preserve patient trust. Tune in to learn how smarter consent, stronger privacy frameworks, and better governance can unlock safer, more effective data sharing in behavioral health!

    Distributed Cardiovascular Intelligence: The Future of Monitoring with Marc Zemel, CEO of Retia Medical
    Mar 31 2026
    Better cardiovascular care starts with better visibility, and too often, the right insights arrive too late. In this episode, Marc Zemel, CEO of Retia Medical, shares the personal story that led him from engineering into medtech after losing his father to sudden cardiac arrest. He explains how Retia is rethinking cardiovascular monitoring by moving beyond bedside hardware into software-driven, distributed intelligence that leverages data hospitals already collect. Marc discusses the recent FDA clearance of Argos Infinity, Retia’s cardiovascular intelligence software platform, and how it expands access to advanced hemodynamic insight across operating rooms, ICUs, and tele-ICU environments. He also highlights why traditional monitoring models have been too limited, how earlier detection can reduce costly delays in care, and why hospitals now need technologies that help clinicians do more with fewer resources. Tune in to learn how distributed cardiovascular intelligence could help clinicians detect deterioration earlier, improve outcomes, and reshape how critical care decisions are made!

    Why the “Golden Record” Is Holding Healthcare Back with Megan Schmidt, President and CEO of Madaket Health, and Nicole Berryman, SVP of Growth and Partnerships at Verisys
    Mar 24 2026
    What if the biggest problem in healthcare tech isn’t the tech at all, but the data behind it? In this episode, Megan Schmidt, President and CEO of Madaket Health, and Nicole Berryman, SVP of Growth and Partnerships at Verisys, expose how healthcare’s provider data problem stems from poor data quality, not a lack of technology. The industry’s pursuit of a single “golden record” is misguided, as provider data is constantly changing and must be continuously monitored and refreshed. A data-first approach, focused on clean, validated, and actively managed data, is essential before applying technology. By partnering across credentialing, monitoring, and enrollment, organizations can create a more accurate, efficient, and proactive data ecosystem. Tune in to hear why chasing the “golden record” may be holding healthcare back, and what a true data-first strategy looks like in practice!
