Tech It to the Limit

About Tech It to the Limit

Welcome to Tech It to the Limit — the podcast where digital health, healthcare innovation, and operational reality all get shoved into the same overloaded server rack… and somehow still boot successfully. Hosted by Elliott Wilson, Tech It to the Limit explores the messy, hilarious, occasionally terrifying intersection of healthcare, technology, AI, clinical transformation, and the humans stuck trying to make all of it actually work at scale. This is not a “synergy” podcast. No buzzword smoothies. No pretending every pilot program is “revolutionary.” Instead, expect smart conversations with health system leaders, clinicians, founders, policymakers, technologists, and operators who’ve survived enough go-lives, governance meetings, workflow disasters, and innovation theater to have earned a few opinions. Topics include: AI in healthcare that works… and AI that absolutely should not have made it past the steering committee Virtual care, virtual nursing, and the operational realities behind the hype Smart hospitals, digital transformation, workflow redesign, and governance at enterprise scale Cybersecurity, interoperability, automation, ambient tech, and the eternal struggle against the fax machine’s undead spirit The human side of innovation: burnout, trust, adoption, leadership, and why “just one more platform” is usually how the villain enters the story The vibe? Part healthcare strategy. Part elder-millennial group chat. Part conference hallway conversation after somebody says, “Okay, off the record…” Whether you’re a CIO, CMIO, nurse leader, founder, analyst, policymaker, healthcare IT professional, or just someone trying to survive another AI keynote without hearing the phrase “frictionless ecosystem,” this show is your prescription for insight, sarcasm, and surprisingly practical wisdom. Because at the end of the day: #MachinesMakeCareMoreHuman

   AI Ay Ay! How Tampa General Hospital Scales Healthcare Innovation and AI Faster Than Most Health Systems

   In this episode of Tech It to the Limit, pediatric ER physician and digital health veteran Dr. Adam Glasofer returns to the pod with a characteristically unfiltered take on the oversaturation of AI in healthcare. He argues that while AI tools are genuinely game changing for clinical workflows and point of care decision support, the current investment climate has created a dangerous incentive structure. Then, recorded live at VIVE in Los Angeles, Elliott sits down with Scott Arnold, EVP and Chief Digital and Innovation Officer, and Rachel Feinman, SVP of Innovation Ventures and Digital Solutions, from Tampa General Hospital for a candid conversation on operationalizing innovation. They reveal why most health systems say they want innovation but build only black holes for ideas, how TGH built actual on ramps from Idea HQ and innovation challenges to a Shark Tank event where frontline nurses pitch board members, and why "proceed until apprehended" has become their operating mantra. Tune in to hear why the future of healthcare may depend less on replacing humans and more on designing technology that helps humans think, decide, and care better.

   Analog ViVEs: Autonomous Healthcare & AI: Fixing Broken Systems - with Dr. Anil Jain of Innovaccer

   Prior authorization is now a bot‑to‑bot conversation waiting to happen. The only thing missing is the interoperability standard. In this episode of Tech It to the Limit, former co-host Sarah Harper returns as the show's first guest in its bold new format, making the case for going analog in a hyper connected world. She explores how the constant presence of screens, notifications, and digital noise has quietly become a wellness problem, not just for patients, but for caregivers and designers alike. Drawing from her own life audit, her kids' tin can phone, and the growing cultural backlash against smartphones, she argues that the health tech industry must design for unplugging just as intentionally as it designs for engagement. The conversation challenges builders and clinicians to ask a harder question: is the technology we're adding actually improving lives, or just adding to the noise? Then, recorded live at HLTH in Los Angeles, Elliott sits down with Dr. Anil Jain, Chief Innovation Officer at Innovaccer (https://innovaccer.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com), for a candid conversation on what autonomous healthcare actually looks like in practice. Drawing from his time at IBM Watson Health and years leading large scale health system transformation, Dr. Jain unpacks why AI for the sake of AI has never been the right message, how data quality remains the unglamorous prerequisite to everything, and why the EMR rollout is a cautionary tale worth revisiting. He also shares what Innovaccer is building right now, from AI powered heart failure management to prior authorization automation, and makes the case that AI orchestration is the next great interoperability challenge. Tune in to hear why the future of health technology may depend equally on knowing when to unplug and when to automate, and why both require the same thing: designing with real people at the center. .
