Hosted by Elliott Wilson, Tech It to the Limit explores the messy, hilarious, occasionally terrifying intersection of healthcare, technology, AI, clinical transformation, and the humans stuck trying to make all of it actually work at scale. This is not a “synergy” podcast. No buzzword smoothies. No pretending every pilot program is “revolutionary.” Instead, expect smart conversations with health system leaders, clinicians, founders, policymakers, technologists, and operators who’ve survived enough go-lives, governance meetings, workflow disasters, and innovation theater to have earned a few opinions. Topics include: AI in healthcare that works… and AI that absolutely should not have made it past the steering committee Virtual care, virtual nursing, and the operational realities behind the hype Smart hospitals, digital transformation, workflow redesign, and governance at enterprise scale Cybersecurity, interoperability, automation, ambient tech, and the eternal struggle against th…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-05T20:18:57.734793+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tech-it-to-the-limit-6436439"},"episode":{"title":"HEDIS and BOT-HEAD: Data and design justice with Dr. Rachel Harrington from NCQA","slug":"hedis-and-bot-head-data-and-design-justice-with-dr-rachel-harrington-from-ncqa","published_at":"2025-08-01T07:00:12+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tech-it-to-the-limit-6436439/hedis-and-bot-head-data-and-design-justice-with-dr-rachel-harrington-from-ncqa","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tech-it-to-the-limit-6436439","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/techittothelimit/2146022","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/203510/2146022/techittothelimit/2025_07_31_20_39_38_1851ba59-2845-4225-8eca-09dfffa49b01.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Tech it to the Limit , Dr. Rachel Harrington (NCQA) joins hosts Sarah Harper and Elliott Wilson to unpack how digital tools are reshaping healthcare—and why equity must be part of the equation. From fixing biased data to evolving HEDIS and designing with communities, it’s a sharp look at the future of human-centered, tech-powered care. Key Takeaways Start with the right data: If we don’t ask the right questions and reflect real diversity, we’re guessing, not solving. Co-create with communities: Don’t design for people—design with them to build solutions that actually work. Go beyond broad stats: Break down the data to see what different groups really need. Tackle the root causes: Health isn’t just about doctors—it’s about housing, food, transport, and more. Act, don’t just assess: Finding problems is easy. Solving them takes real action.
