Closing the operational gap: how Mount Sinai builds digital health that scales with Dr. Nicholas Gavin & Dr. Robbie Freeman
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> In this episode of QuickHITs, <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylersmithhdm/">Tyler Smith</a> sits down with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholaspgavin/">Dr. Nicholas Gavin</a>, Chief Clinical Innovation Officer at Mount Sinai, and <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbie-freeman-rn/">Dr. Robbie Freeman</a>, Mount Sinai's Chief Digital Transformation Officer.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> Nicholas and Robbie unpack what it actually takes to move a digital health tool from a small pilot to system-wide scale, including the operational gap, the Hawthorne effect, and why Mount Sinai builds for scale from day one rather than treating pilots as an endpoint. They share how a culture of bottom-up idea submission, paired with rigorous co-design with patients and clinicians, has led to products like an AI tool that predicts pressure injury risk and a digital triage platform shaped directly by patient focus groups.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> The conversation also covers interoperability, standardizing on a single EMR across seven hospital campuses and 400-plus ambulatory locations, and where Nicholas and Robbie see the next wave of healthcare technology heading, including agentic AI and computer vision.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"> They close with a candid take on healthcare's long struggle with administrative burden, and why current tools may finally offer a real path forward for clinicians and patients alike.</p>

From the Bedside to the Boardroom: How Nitin Agarwal Is Leading Healthcare IT
<p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> In this episode of QuickHITs, Tyler Smith sits down with <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/nitin-agarwal-82561652/">Nitin Agarwal</a>, CIO of <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/company/wayne-memorial-hospital1/">Wayne Memorial Health</a>, a rural health system in northeastern Pennsylvania serving patients who, in many cases, have nowhere else to go.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> Nitin shares how he climbed to the C-suite by learning to delegate, why he believes the best technology decisions start with conversation rather than a vendor deck, and what it really means to be a trusted partner to clinical and operational teams.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> He also digs into data migration, the importance of intentional data mapping before a single record moves, and why rural health systems have to be far more deliberate than their larger counterparts when adopting new technology.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> And on AI? Nitin isn't waiting for the hype to clear. He's watching for the moment AI truly frees clinicians to just be clinicians.</p>

From Policy to Practice with Dr. Bill Winkenwerder: A Career at the Intersection of Healthcare, Data, and Leadership
<p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> In this episode of QuickHITs, Tyler Smith, CEO of Health Data Movers, sits down with <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamwinkenwerder/">Dr. Bill Winkenwerder</a>, Chairman of <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/company/citiustech/posts/?feedView=all">CitiusTech</a>, for a wide-ranging conversation spanning four decades at the highest levels of healthcare leadership. Dr. Winkenwerder's career began with a simple but powerful realization: that the physician-patient relationship, while meaningful, wasn't enough to fix a broken system. That conviction drove him well beyond the clinic.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> He went on to serve as Medical Director at Kaiser Permanente, Vice President at Emory Healthcare, CEO of Highmark Health — the 7th largest health insurer in the U.S., serving more than 34 million Americans — and Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, overseeing healthcare across the entire U.S. military. Today, he brings that depth of experience to his role as Chairman of CitiusTech.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> Together, Tyler and Bill explore the forces reshaping healthcare today — consolidation, aging infrastructure, and the accelerating pace of technological change. Bill makes the case that clean, reliable data isn't just an IT priority; it's the prerequisite for everything else, including AI. And he offers a grounded, experience-backed take on where agentic AI will actually deliver in the next three to five years, and where human judgment remains irreplaceable.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> The conversation also turns to the bigger picture: what it means to build a healthcare system that helps everyday people live healthier, more informed lives, rather than just treating them when they're sick.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> This episode is for healthcare leaders who want perspective from someone who has operated at every level of the system and still believes the most important work is ahead.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> <strong>Topics covered:</strong></p> <ul class= "[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">How Bill's career evolved from medicine to policy to healthcare leadership</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The compounding challenges of legacy systems, consolidation, and constant change</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Why data quality is the true foundation for AI in healthcare</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Where CitiusTech and HDM fit in the next phase of healthcare IT</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The real-world potential of agentic AI and its limits</li> <li class= "font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"> Empowering patients through better data, education, and technology</li> </ul>
