Summary

In this episode, Steve Liou, Founder and CEO of Clarium, and Dr. Steven Klasko, Executive in Residence at General Catalyst, join Scott Becker to explore how supply chain is emerging as a strategic driver of margin, total cost of care, and health system sustainability. They discuss why operational AI is delivering faster ROI than clinical AI, how better data and automation can unlock billions in savings, and why rethinking supply chain is critical to the future of healthcare.
