  How AI Orchestration Changes Care Delivery w/ Dr. Pete Stetson

  Sep 17, 202644 min

  Host Erik sits down with Dr. Peter Stetson, Chief Medical Information Officer at TigerConnect, to discuss the unsolved problem that's been hiding in plain sight: care orchestration. This isn't about better EHRs or more tech tools. It's about what happens when doctors, nurses, surgeons, and entire care teams can't effectively communicate with each other—and what it costs patients when they can't. Clinicians shouldn't be middleware. Yet that's exactly what healthcare systems have forced them to become. A surgeon waits for imaging that hasn't been transmitted. A nurse juggles alerts from five different systems, none talking to each other. A patient shows up for a procedure only to learn records are missing. Meanwhile, hospital operators still manually look up schedules across multiple screens—swivel chair work in 2026. Dr. Stetson brings 25+ years as a clinician, 10 years running EHR and digital initiatives at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and current leadership on responsible AI governance. He speaks from lived experience in operating rooms, clinical floors, and the systems that either enable or sabotage care delivery. This episode is perfect for health system executives, CMIOs, perioperative leaders, and anyone tired of hearing that "we tried AI in a pilot and it didn't work." The orchestration layer is what actually makes it work. Links from the show: Connect with Dr. Pete Stetson on LinkedIn Check out DocBuddy's Op Note Solution Follow DocBuddy on LinkedIn

  The AI Guarantee That Doesn't Exist

  Aug 27, 202639 min

  Healthcare organizations want AI. Everyone does. But there's a problem: they're waiting for a guarantee that's never coming. Host Erik sits down with Marten den Haring, Ph.D., MSc, CEO of Lirio, to address the elephant in the room. Health systems are showing up to conferences asking, "What AI product should we buy?" when they should be asking, "What problem are we actually trying to solve?" That's not a subtle difference - it's the difference between transformation and a new expense on the P&L. This episode is perfect for health system executives, CIOs, innovation officers, and anyone tired of vendor pitches that promise ROI they can't actually guarantee. Links from the show: Lirio .

  The Days to Bill Case Study You Need to See

  Aug 20, 202610 min

  In this episode of the DocBuddy Journal, host Erik Sunset digs into a new real-world case study showing what happened when DocBuddy Op Note rolled out across all 12 sites. Every center improved. Every center landed between 1.66 and 2.82 days to bill. The network average dropped from 9.31 days down to 2.21 — a 76% reduction. Erik explains why the transcription step is the hidden source of variability in ASC billing performance, what it means to make a network predictable rather than just fast, and why the business office manager at this network specifically called out physician satisfaction as an unexpected bonus. The full case study is live at docbuddy.com , and the numbers speak for themselves. Links from the show: See the case study here . Check out DocBuddy Op Note . Connect with DocBuddy on LinkedIn .

  Boundaries, Burnout, and Being Present

  Jul 23, 202624 min

  Host Erik talks with Dr. Angela Sturm, a facial plastic surgeon based in Houston, about a kind of burnout the surveys don't capture. It's not bad EHRs or staffing shortages—though those matter. It's something quieter and more corrosive: the erosion of autonomy. Dr. Sturm calls it moral injury, and she's seen it from both sides—inside large health systems and now running her own practice. In this conversation, Dr. Sturm shares how she's built a practice and a life where boundaries makes her better at surgery. She also shares a refreshing perspective about AI adoption in medicine (she's a Claude and Cowork user), the peptide rush that mirrors the AI rush, and why physicians have to be the guardrail when patients want something just because it's possible. Dr. Sturm also shared her perspective on using DocBuddy Op Note and how instant operative reports solved problems that transcription never could. Links from the show: Listen to Dr. Sturm's podcast.
