   EP59 - Gamified Learning and the Rewards of Health Literacy (Tom Chamberlain)

   In recognition of Health Literacy Month, Tom Chamberlain, PharmD, founder and CEO of EdLogics, joins host Tim Jones to discuss personal and organizational health literacy and how it can be supported in employer and community settings. Tom describes EdLogics' use of game-based learning, videos, and rewards to engage people with health education, and explains why engagement is an important first step in learning. The conversation explores financial and nonfinancial incentives, family learning, community partnerships, and the shared responsibility of healthcare providers, educators, employers, and communities to help people find, understand, and use health information. Key Takeaways How personal and organizational health literacy fit together Why organizations share responsibility for making health information accessible and actionable How engaging approaches can invite people into health education How repetition, video, games, and incentives can support learning and confidence Why health education needs to account for families and communities as well as individuals How healthcare providers, educators, employers, and communities can contribute to health literacy Episode Highlights 00:00 | Who Is Responsible for Health Literacy? 01:39 | Introducing Personal and Organizational Health Literacy 06:14 | Defining Health Literacy for Individuals and Organizations 08:34 | Why Employers Became an Early Focus 12:41 | Engagement as a First Step in Learning 14:22 | How Rewards Can Support Engagement 17:52 | Bringing Families into Health Education 21:38 | Health Literacy as a Workforce and Economic Development Issue 24:10 | What Health Literacy Looks Like Across Industries 25:23 | Health Literacy in Prevention and Chronic Condition Care 28:17 | Communicating Health Information Beyond the Digital Platform 29:33 | Building Structured Learning Paths 32:43 | Community Partnerships and Shared Responsibility Guest: Thomas Chamberlain, PharmD - EdLogics Host: Tim Jones - Health Nuts Media Sponsored by: Simplifi Medical Learn More at: www.beyond-blueprint.com

   EP58 - The Best of Beyond the Blueprint (So Far)

   After more than 50 episodes, Gregg Malkary and Keith Washington finally do what every podcast eventually threatens to do: record a podcast about the podcast. They revisit memorable guests, creative moments and a few stories that still make them laugh, including Gregg's realization that his wife works in nursing simulation. Beyond the Blueprint was created to help close the gaps between strategy and execution, clinical teams and IT, and ambitious plans and what actually works on a Tuesday afternoon in a busy hospital. Gregg and Keith reflect on conversations with CMIOs, clinicians, operators, entrepreneurs and other healthcare leaders who have shared what they are trying, what they are learning and what they would do differently. They recognize the team working behind the scenes and look ahead to AI, patient engagement, workforce, rural health, pediatrics and remote patient care. The mission remains practical progress, open exchange and a community where healthcare leaders can share what is actually working. Key Takeaways How Beyond the Blueprint evolved from market research into a healthcare podcast Why peer-to-peer conversations help leaders share what is working The value of interviews, roundtables, and organizational discussions Why alignment matters when moving from strategy to execution How data governance and interoperability shape healthcare innovation The team behind the podcast and its multiplatform content Why current industry challenges continue to guide the show Future topics including AI, workforce, patient engagement, and remote care Episode Highlights 00:00 | Looking Back at More Than 50 Episodes 01:47 | How Beyond the Blueprint Began 03:45 | The Team Behind the Podcast 07:02 | Memorable Guests, Analogies, and Creative Clips 09:47 | Harm Scherpbier and the Unvendor Approach 11:32 | Creating Conversations Healthcare Leaders Want to Join 13:46 | Peer Discussions, Health-System Stories, and Entrepreneurs 16:05 | Expanding into Workforce, Rural Health, and Pediatrics 17:22 | What Comes Next for AI, Connectivity, and Remote Care 20:45 | How the Podcast Became a Multiplatform Experience 22:28 | Letting Healthcare's Current Challenges Guide the Show 24:10 | Keith Reflects on the Journey 25:28 | Bringing More CIO Perspectives into the Conversation 26:07 | Gregg Finally Learns What His Wife Does 27:19 | Building on the Creativity and Community Behind the Show Hosts: Gregg Malkary and Keith Washington (https://linkedin.com/in/keith-washington-ba92401) Sponsored by: Simplifi Medical Audio/Video: Tim Jones - Health Nuts Media Marketing: Josh Troop - Troop-Creative (https://www.troop-creative.com/) Learn More at: www.beyond-blueprint.com

   EP57 - 5G in Healthcare

   Healthcare is becoming more connected—and more mobile. But the networks supporting clinicians, medical devices, and patient data weren't built for care that moves. In this episode of Beyond the Blueprint, Gregg Malkary talks with Myron Wallace, President of ProMobix, and Dr. Allen Moore, Connected Healthcare Leader at T-Mobile, about where 5G fits into the healthcare technology stack. They dig into connectivity inside and beyond the hospital, clinical workflow, cybersecurity and resiliency, rural and critical-access infrastructure, and what health systems should consider as 5G adoption grows. Ultimately, it's a conversation about more than bandwidth: How do health systems ensure new infrastructure reduces burden on clinicians, holds up under real-world demands, and actually delivers the outcomes they're paying for? Key Takeaways Why connectivity becomes a clinical issue when clinicians, devices, and patients are in motion Where 5G can complement Wi-Fi across healthcare environments How unreliable connectivity drives clinician workarounds and undermines technology investments Why clinical workflows should shape infrastructure decisions—not the other way around How 5G can support connected care beyond the four walls of the hospital The role of connectivity in cybersecurity, resiliency, and continuity of care Why rural and critical-access health systems may have different infrastructure opportunities Building connectivity around clinical outcomes, care-team needs, and real-world performance Episode Highlights 00:00 | Telepreceptorship: Rethinking What Connected Care Can Make Possible 03:39 | When Does Connectivity Become a Clinical Risk? 08:07 | What Happens When Devices Drop and Reconnect? 10:06 | When Connectivity Fails, Clinicians Create Workarounds 12:37 | Can 5G and Wi-Fi Coexist in the Same Care Environment? 15:08 | Making Connected Care Simpler Beyond the Hospital 18:37 | Building the Infrastructure Around Clinical Workflow 20:36 | 5G, Cybersecurity, and Reducing the Attack Surface 25:18 | Can 5G Strengthen Continuity of Care? 28:52 | When Is 5G Worth Funding Ahead of Other Priorities? 31:59 | Build to the Outcome, Not the Technology 33:38 | Final Advice: Keeping Care Teams in Motion Guests: Myron Wallace (http://linkedin.com/in/myronwallace), Allen Moore (http://linkedin.com/in/healthtechguy) Host: Gregg Malkary - Lighthouse Healthtech Sponsored by: Simplifi Medical Audio/Video: Tim Jones - Health Nuts Media Marketing: Josh Troop - Troop-Creative (https://www.troop-creative.com/) Learn More at: www.beyond-blueprint.com
