Interoperability is the biggest thorn in clinicians sides. When I'm in the exam room I think about it constantly. I can't see where my patient went when they got their colonoscopy. And someone has to fax it to me if I ask three times. Then I'll get a piece of paper on my desk.

Diabetes and glucose monitoring is the one use case that gets the most attention right now. When they have the ability to remote monitor your glucose in real time and react, it has to be incredibly accurate but then adjusting your insulin levels, that's going to be really valuable.

I think everyone who's taking over a health IT team is going to be told, we want more agility. We want to reduce head count and do more with less. We want the engagement to be higher. Those are the typical ones and we as leaders need to figure out how we are going to get there.

There’s a great business book “Yes, And instead of But, No.” The concept in IT tends to be, we're overwhelmed so the answer is no. And then shut down all the creative thoughts that happen after that. I want to get to the kind of culture where we don't have that.
