From Potholes to Piglets, 30 Years of Health IT Lessons| The 229 Podcast with CT Lin, MD

His new book, “It’s Not About the Tech: From Potholes to Piglets, Real-Life Lessons in Health IT,” argues that health IT success is 80 percent people and 20 percent technology, a lesson he learned by failing loudly and often. Lin tells Sarah Richardson about the radiology order set that accidentally triggered a hospital-wide outbreak of "acromegaly," the identity crisis of losing a CMIO title after three decades, and why governing generative AI will be this era's tragedy of the commons.<strong><br></strong></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Key Points:</strong></span></p><ul><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">01:06 Not About Tech</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">06:10 Sharing Failures</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">10:05 Life After CMIO</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">15:35 AI and Governance</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">18:34 PIGs and Farewell</span></p></li></ul><br/><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/229p"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-size: 12pt;"><u>LinkedIn: </u><strong><u>229</u></strong><u>Project</u></span></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/3173454"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-size: 12pt;"><u>Donate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer</u></span></a></p>

Allison brings the national view: predictive accuracy up to 97.5 percent, contingency spend cut nearly in half, and a shift from descriptive to prescriptive workforce management. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Key Points:</strong></span></p><ul><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">01:22 Roles and Why It Matters</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">06:06 Governance Before Tech</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">13:08 Results and Future AI Staffing</span></p></li><li><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;">19:42 Advice and Closing Thoughts</span></p></li></ul><br/><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/229p"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-size: 12pt;"><u>LinkedIn: </u><strong><u>229</u></strong><u>Project</u></span></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/3173454"><span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-size: 12pt;"><u>Donate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer</u></span></a></p>

I Gave You Dollars. You Gave Me Capacity. | Newsday with The 229Project
<p><strong>August 7, 2026: </strong>Bill Russell sits down with Eric Utzinger (Revuud) while Sarah and Drex are out. The H1 2026 Signal Index put competing priorities and not enough capacity at the top of the list for 54% of leaders — and 43% said budgets are flat or declining. On this Newsday they dig into why AI ROI still feels muddy: tools return hours, not line-item dollars, and the CFO still needs the exchange rate. Along the way: operational transformation with real proof points, growth without growing, and a hard look at who actually belongs at the strategic table — including Bill on why an outside-only CIO hire can be a mistake.</p><p><strong>Key Points:</strong></p><ul><li><p>01:27 54% Competing Priorities</p></li><li><p>06:03 Dollars for Capacity</p></li><li><p>08:48 Tanya Townsend: Operational Transformation</p></li><li><p>15:08 Growth Without Growing</p></li><li><p>19:56 Mistake to Hire Me</p></li><li><p>22:12 Speak Business at the Table</p></li></ul><br/><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/229p"><u>LinkedIn: </u><strong><u>229</u></strong><u>Project</u></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.alexslemonade.org/mypage/3173454"><u>Donate: Alex’s Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer</u></a></p>
