The Health Pulse S2E1: Improving Health Equity and Health Outcomes with Analytics

On this episode host Greg Horne interviews David Rhew, M.D., Global Chief Medical Officer & VP of Healthcare for Microsoft, on the role of technology in health care. Dr. Rhew observed early in his career that evidence-based practices often lead to better health outcomes, but they aren’t adhered to consistently. From there he set out on a digital transformation journey that quickly brought him into health tech and eventually Microsoft. Dr. Rhew and Greg discuss the role of technology in delivering the right information at the right time to improve patient experience and outcomes. According to Dr. Rhew, the next horizon in health care will be around making data more interoperable so that the industry can more effectively and consistently drive actionable insights that improve care. Finally, Dr. Rhew leaves us with his parting thoughts on technology’s capacity to improve health equity and access.
