There is a clear distinction between individuals who seek to promote themselves by advancing technology in healthcare and those that seek to move healthcare forward by advancing meaningful technology. Bill Russell, Founder & Podcast Host of This Week Health is undoubtedly the latter. Formerly the CIO for St. Joseph’s Health, Bill oversaw a $6.5 billion healthcare system with sixteen hospitals, and he has contributed to IT advancements such as agile cloud development in healthcare. On this episode of Healthcare Market Matrix, Bill joins host John Farkas to discuss the unique challenges CIOs face, adopting healthtech solutions, AI’s impact on healthcare, and much more.
