Dr. Chet Robson has held Chief Medical Officer and Chief Clinical Officer roles at Adventist Health Partners, Walgreens, and Your BioHealth. In this conversation he walks through his journey from paper charts to EMRs to AI, and why the biggest problems in healthcare still come down to systems that won't talk to each other. Tom and Dr. Robson get into why 30 to 50 percent of patients never follow through on prescriptions or home health referrals after discharge, what a single national EMR system looks like in the Netherlands, and why retail pharmacy might be the most underused platform in American healthcare. They also cover what separates great health tech startups from the rest, how to evaluate AI companies, and what Dr. Robson would change if he ran CMS for a day.
