World Cup of Health IT - Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 197

For the 197th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are talking about the World Cup of health IT! We kick this episode off by discussing who in healthcare deserves a yellow card (given for reckless fouls, time-wasting, or unsportsmanlike conduct) right now. Next, we talk about who we think deserves a red card (given for serious fouls against players or officials) in healthcare right now. Then, we share what international health IT developments have caught our attention recently. Finally, we conclude this episode by debating who we think should win the match between a cybersecurity project and a clinical efficiency and burnout improvement project.

Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:

In soccer/football, a player gets a yellow card when they commit a reckless foul, waste time, or show unsporting behavior. Who deserves a yellow card in healthcare right now?

A player gets a red card for a serious foul against players or officials. Who deserves a red card in healthcare right now?

The World Cup is a big international event – what are the international health IT developments that have caught your attention recently?

There are a lot of close-scoring matches in soccer/football because teams are very competitive and comparable. In other words, it’s very hard to pick a winner. In healthcare, there are many important IT priorities and it is difficult to pick one vs another. Who should win the match between a cybersecurity project and a project that improves clinical efficiency + burnout?
