Meet Clay Johnston, MD, PhD, MPH, Cofounder & Chief Medical Officer, Harbor Health. They discuss why so many smart care redesign efforts end up as…yet another white paper. Clay talks about his “been there, rebuilt that” experience: you can absolutely reengineer pathways to reduce unnecessary procedures, shift work to the right team members, use tech for follow-ups, and improve outcomes. The problem is that in classic fee-for-service, the system often pays handsomely for the stuff you’re trying to avoid (unnecessary utilization) and barely pays for what actually keeps people well (coaching, check-ins, prevention, navigation).

S3E14: What's Trending NOW is the uncomfortable reality that healthcare’s AI adoption is happening faster than its governance, often invisibly. On this episode Shahid and guest Tamer Baker, Healthcare CTO at Zscaler, map the “hidden risk” landscape (data exfiltration, copilots turning loose internal content, prompt manipulation, model poisoning), then pivot to what actually works: measure AI usage, enable safe experimentation by blocking PHI/sensitive prompts, and anchor the program in Zero Trust while layering in AI-specific controls and education. The “B-roll” after the formal close goes even further: the two dig into who holds clinical and product risk as AI becomes more autonomous, why incumbents may hesitate, how regulation (HIPAA NPRM) and defense models (CMMC) might inform healthcare, and why “orchestration” becomes the next trust battleground.
