In the medical field, the ability to transfer and interpret data in real time can be the difference between life and death. That data needs to be of high quality, moved at a high speed, and handled with the highest safeguards possible to ensure patients and their providers can receive and provide the most effective care. Building the processes that manage this ecosystem is a constantly evolving challenge. In this episode of The Restless Ones, I sit with Peter Fleischut, Group SVP and Chief Information, and Transformation Officer at NewYork-Presbyterian, who is actively deploying innovative approaches and solutions in a field too often known for lagging behind. From remote monitoring and robotics to telemedicine and the modernization of medical records, unpredicted connectivity is creating an entirely new way to care for patients. Whether overseeing annual telemedicine visits' growth from 1,000 to over 1,000,000, simplifying the record and prescription process, or building the backbone that will ultimately allow for multimodal data transmissions, Peter’s work is life-changing and saving.
