July 28, 2025: Jacob Hansen, Chief Product and Technology Officer at AvaSure, examines how healthcare is shifting from siloed departments to cross-functional journey teams. How are these collaborative approaches finally breaking through traditional barriers that have slowed healthcare innovation? The conversation explores the emerging world of agentic AI while grappling with where automation enhances care versus where the human touch remains irreplaceable. As ambient clinical documentation technology gains traction and physician acceptance, Jacob shares insights from AvaSure's virtual care maturity model and reflects on what patients actually want from healthcare technology. Can incremental implementation build the trust needed for widespread adoption, and will AI finally serve as the equalizer that brings healthcare innovation up to speed with other industries?
