This episode of Healthcare NOW Radio dives into the future of consumer-centered healthcare, spotlighting innovations from ViVE 2026 and featuring insights from leaders at DexCare, Heidi Health, Ovatient, and Island. The conversation centers on how health systems are tackling access, capacity, and digital transformation through AI, data quality, and seamless integration. Key themes include the critical role of data integrity via the PICI framework and Pixel Gateway, the rise of virtual-first care models like Ovatient’s platform built on Epic, and the importance of frictionless patient navigation through tools like DexCare’s 'growth by design' approach. The episode emphasizes that true innovation isn’t just adopting new tech, but reimagining workflows to serve patients better—especially in a landscape where providers are overloaded and patients demand personalized, accessible care. With AI at the core, the focus is on enabling clinicians, reducing administrative burden, and ensuring data quality so that technology enhances, rather than hinders, human-centered care.
Data quality is foundational—poor data quality is a form of information blocking, and frameworks like PICI and Pixel Gateway help measure and improve it.
Virtual-first care isn’t just about modality—it’s about continuity, trust, and integration with community resources and in-person care.
Health systems must optimize capacity through better scheduling and patient matching, not just add more providers.
True digital transformation requires partnership, not sales pitches—tools must adapt to the health system, not the other way around.
AI’s value depends on high-quality data and secure, integrated infrastructure that supports clinicians without adding friction.
