Albert Villarin, MD, FACEP: The Importance of Efficient Care Coordination
Albert Villarin, MD, FACEP, Vice President and Chief Medical Information Officer at Nuvance Health, joins the podcast to discuss his background, the importance of efficient care coordination, an investment or risk worth taking right now, and more.
Background and Vision for Healthcare
Dr. Albert Valara is the Vice President and Chief Medical Information Officer at Neon's Health. He has a background in Emergency Medicine and retired from the US Army Reservist in 2000. He believes that healthcare information technology is the enzyme and reaction which needs to be expanded, and is working with vendors and third-party technologies to bring the experience for clinicians to a less burdensome approach for patient care. He sees artificial intelligence as the next big innovation in healthcare, and believes that embracing health equity with technology and removing the biases of healthcare will deliver better care in the future. He also sees collaboration between healthcare and private markets as an opportunity for growth.
The Role of Technology in Healthcare Financial Issues
Healthcare financial issues are rapidly changing the way healthcare is delivered. Cloud collaborations, data lakes, predictive modeling and artificial intelligence are helping to facilitate better care for patients. Patients now have access to apps and chatbots to help them make decisions, and EMRs are becoming powerful collaborative partners in care delivery. Becoming more efficient with less money and personnel is key for healthcare survivability. Becker's Healthcare has launched a new platform, my bhc, to help healthcare leaders stay up to date on the latest innovations and learning opportunities.
