Tech in the Healthcare Space
What are your experiences and feelings toward your healthcare system’s EMR? Love it? Hate it? What about the growth of AI in healthcare? Tech in healthcare has given us incredible advancements that have saved lives. At the same time, the rate at which technology is created and implemented may be outpacing our ability to adjust to the impact on operational systems, policies, and the human beings providing care. In this episode, co-hosts Amy and Paul discuss the intersection of technology, healthcare, and burnout. They explore the impact on culture and work-life integration. We also hear from two healthcare colleagues about the wins and losses associated with leveraging technology in the healthcare space.
