  • Froedtert, Novant, Xealth - Part 1
    May 30 2023

    “I have observed where there have been leaders in roles that introduce new technology but didn’t follow sound change management practices to build that adoption, to build that buy-in.” So says Amber Fencl, one or our guests on this episode of VentureSprout. She believes leaders should focus on technology adoption at the very beginning of the process and not in the middle of the production stage. This episode also brings in two other leaders who talk about how to develop technology and innovation to take health care beyond the conventional approach focused within the four walls of the hospital.

  • Memora Health and NorthShore Edward-Elmhurst Health Venture Capital - Part 1
    Feb 6 2023

    In the past few years, as care more and more moved outside the traditional walls of the hospital, “the one thing that was abundantly clear was that there really was no good underlying technology or infrastructure to manage and support patients in that way.” So observed Manav Sevak, one of the venture entrepreneurs on today’s program. He has joined forces with our other featured guest, Melissa Cohen of Northshore Edward-Elmhurst, to address, in her words, “the importance of digital health and how it could impact the stakeholders across the entire healthcare ecosystem.” Their partnership to support the move of care to the home is the focus of this podcast episode.

  • Embracing new care models - Part 1
    Dec 29 2022

    Two market forces emerging into the health care arena are poised to play a huge role in the future. The so-called market disruptors, in the words of our guest expert, “are better funded, better capitalized, and … have that knowledge and expertise in how you deliver on an excellent consumer experience.” Payers represent the other force growing stronger in health care delivery, as they move out of their traditional role. Both forces bring strong technology infrastructures to pose critical challenges to conventional health care organizations that are trying to succeed in the future, and this episode examines new models, particularly moving of care to the home, that organizations can adopt to meet these challenges.
