A Year in Healthcare: Hard Truths, New Hope

·36 min·1 clip

Healthcare has a long way to go on AI governance because we don't know what we don't know about the risks.

The Business of Healthcare podcast features host Professor Daniel Carnuta and producer Jimmy Markham examining 2025 healthcare challenges through AI and implementation lenses. They review three recent AI episodes and discuss national governance standards, healthcare operations applications, and workforce change management. Key topics include the unknown unknowns in AI risk, balancing resource commitment with risk mitigation, and the evolution of jobs as AI adoption increases. The episode covers radiology, ambient documentation, remote monitoring, and claims adjudication as current AI applications while emphasizing that future jobs will require AI literacy. Historical technology parallels (Lotus 1-2-3 to cloud) illustrate adoption patterns. Discussion of HEAL High Schools shows education pipeline challenges as seeds requiring long-term development beyond their direct impact.
