  • MD to CEO: One Doctor's Mission ft. Zaman Shah

    MD to CEO: One Doctor's Mission ft. Zaman Shah
    Mar 25 2026
    What happens when a physician with 15 years of frontline experience stops waiting for healthcare to fix itself, and builds the fix himself? In this episode of the Nurse Rosa's INsights Podcast, host Rosa Hart sits down with Zaman Shah, MD MBA, founder and CEO of Medway, a physician-led AI infrastructure company transforming EHRs into AI-first platforms. Dr. Shah brings a rare combination most health tech founders simply don't have: clinical credibility from 15 years of frontline practice, business training from an MBA at UAB, and specialized Harvard training in healthcare AI. His mission is direct : restore the human connection in healthcare by making every EHR intelligent, interoperable, and effortless through a clinician-designed, compliant AI layer. What Medway actually solves: Small-to-mid-size and specialty EHRs often lack the time, talent, or capital to build AI in-house. Medway provides plug-and-play AI infrastructure — delivered under the EHR vendor's own brand — that brings ambient documentation, smart data access, and validated order entry to market in weeks, not years. In this episode, you'll hear: How 15 years of frontline medicine shaped Dr. Shah's vision for Medway Why small and specialty EHRs are being left behind in the AI race — and how Medway closes that gap The real cost of fragmented data, redundant workflows, and manual administrative work on clinical care Why interoperability is still broken and what universal, standards-based access would actually look like How ambient documentation and conversational retrieval can give clinicians back their time with patients Dr. Shah's billion-dollar vision: a modern operating layer for healthcare that eliminates waste, closes care gaps in real time, and reduces friction for both clinicians and patients Dr. Shah's billion-dollar answer: If given a $1B grant, Dr. Shah would build and scale a modern operating layer for healthcare — starting with universal interoperability so clinicians and patients can access the right information instantly, without faxing or chasing records. He would embed ambient documentation and guided order entry directly into care delivery, invest in real-time quality and care-gap closure during the visit rather than after, and fund patient-facing access tools that reduce administrative burden. Across all of it: trust, transparent governance, measurable outcomes, and adoption incentives built for sustained ROI.

    LIVE at ViVE: AI + Revenue Cycles with Brian Robertson
    Mar 9 2026
    Healthcare revenue cycle management is changing fast. Brian Robertson of VisiQuate explains how AI and data analytics improve hospital reimbursement. At the ViVE Health Tech Conference, Rosa Hart speaks with Brian Robertson, Founder and CEO of VisiQuate, about how artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics are transforming healthcare revenue cycle management. Brian explains how healthcare organizations are moving beyond traditional reporting toward predictive revenue cycle intelligence. Instead of reacting to denied claims, lost revenue, or delayed payments, health systems can now use AI-driven analytics to anticipate problems earlier and make smarter operational decisions. The conversation explores how AI, automation, and advanced analytics help hospitals improve reimbursement, reduce administrative waste, and navigate increasing payer complexity. These tools also help healthcare leaders strengthen financial sustainability while allowing clinicians to focus more time on patient care. Rosa and Brian also discuss the critical role nurses and frontline clinicians play in the successful adoption of new healthcare technologies. Innovation only works when technology aligns with real clinical workflows. As healthcare continues to evolve, data-driven decision making, automation, and collaboration between clinicians and technologists will be essential to building a more efficient and patient-centered healthcare system.

  • 64: Reviving Primary Care with Timothy Boyle

    64: Reviving Primary Care with Timothy Boyle
    Mar 9 2026
    Primary care is quietly collapsing - and most patients don’t even realize it. In this episode, Timothy Boyle pulls back the curtain on the mounting pressure facing small, independent primary care practices across the country. From crushing administrative demands to unsustainable financial models, the very doctors who know their patients best are struggling to survive. But this isn’t just about business. It’s about relationships. Timothy shares why personal connections between providers and patients are the backbone of effective care - and what happens emotionally to clinicians when they’re forced to practice in systems that prevent them from truly helping the people they serve. When small practices disappear, so does continuity, trust, and the human side of medicine. This conversation is a call to reinvest in primary care, not as a line item, but as the foundation of our healthcare system. Because when we support patient-centered practices, we protect both access and humanity in medicine.

  • Ep 63: The Critical Care Revolution with Kali Dayton

    Ep 63: The Critical Care Revolution with Kali Dayton
    Feb 18 2026
    The Awake & Walking ICU: Transforming Critical Care with Kali Dayton Sedation is not neutral. Immobility is not harmless. What we do in the ICU follows patients long after discharge. In this powerful episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, I sit down with Kali Dayton, DNP, AGACNP, critical care nurse practitioner, consultant, and founder of the Awake and Walking ICU movement. Kali shares how working in a unit that prioritized mobility and minimal sedation completely changed the way she understood critical care and why she now trains ICU teams nationwide to implement the ABCDEF bundle. We explore what truly happens when patients are deeply sedated. We unpack delirium, long-term cognitive harm, and the cultural norms that intensified during COVID when many ICUs shifted further toward sedation and away from mobility. Kali has walked into ICUs across the country and seen dramatic differences in patient care practices. What she found is clear. Outcomes improve when patients are awake, mobile, and engaged even while critically ill. This is a conversation about challenging outdated practices, elevating nursing advocacy, and embracing interdisciplinary collaboration to transform patient outcomes. If you care about critical care, sedation practices, delirium prevention, or patient-centered ICU transformation, this episode is essential listening.
