In this health care podcast, I am talking with Yauheni Solad, MD. Dr. Solad is one of the top minds in data and data exchange. He’s medical director of digital health and telemedicine at Yale New Haven Health, and he has a mission to lead digital transformation toward accessible and affordable high-quality care that’s enabled by technology. Dr. Solad also does a lot of work with NODE—the Network of Digital Evidence. In the conversation we’re about to have, Dr. Solad represents the provider point of view. The show also features the one and only Rahul Dubey, hero to peaceable protesters. You can search for Rahul Dubey protesters to see what I mean. And also, he is the founder of Percynal Health Innovations. Rahul is the former chief innovation officer over at AHIP—that is, America’s Health Insurance Plans. In this conversation, Rahul represents the payer point of view. Here’s what we’re talking about, and I’m gonna keep this brief: It has been postulated that technology will be a catalyst for health care transformation. By technology, I mean the leaps many systems of care have made in their technological capabilities to deal with the realities of C-19. Dr. Solad, Rahul Dubey, and I talk about whether and how greater digital capability—which often means greater ability to care for populations vis-à-vis remote monitoring and telehealth—but whether, you know, the tail can wag the dog, so to speak, because so much investment has been made in these technology capes that we’re gonna want to use them. And when we use them, we transform care delivery. You can learn more by connecting with Dr. Solad on Twitter at @ysolad or on LinkedIn. You can also connect with Rahul via email or LinkedIn.
