One of the hardest parts of applying technology solutions in healthcare is finding providers willing to iterate with you. Hardest for enterprise level innovations, for obvious reasons. Article made me think about the power of someone with a CS background entering every/any part of the healthcare ecosystem (nurse, PA, doc, admin, community health etc...). Every place health system I've worked in favors "one of their own" leading innovation over someone with greater expertise from outside. Storm the castle from inside & out?
