This podcast episode dives into the challenges of digital transformation in healthcare. It highlights key obstacles such as strict data privacy regulations (like HIPAA), interoperability issues between old and new systems, and resistance to embracing new technologies.

The guest underscores the value of a phased approach, beginning with non-patient-facing automation to build trust and demonstrate return on investment before addressing more intricate issues.
