Healthcare Assumptions You Should Bank On – Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 20

For the 20th episode of the Healthcare IT Podcast, we’re talking about Healthcare Assumptions You Should Bank On. We often talk to people are just entering the health IT space. The overwhelming theme from these people is that there are so many things in healthcare that they didn’t expect. For those of us working in healthcare, that’s no surprise. There are a lot of things that don’t make much sense. Plus, there are a lot of things that happen over and over again as part of the culture of healthcare (for good and bad).

With that in mind, we wanted to talk about some of the healthcare assumptions you can take to the bank. Plus, we talk about why this is the case and how that impacts organizations. If you’re new to healthcare, then you’ll really enjoy this episode. If you’ve been around healthcare for a while, you’ll likely relate to these assumptions. We’d love to here where you agree and disagree.

Here’s a quick rundown of the assumptions we discuss in this episode:

  • Data Breach Will Happen
  • HIPAA Will Be Used As An Excuse to Keep The Status Quo
  • Users Will Never Do What Is Expected of Them
  • IT Projects Will Be Delayed
  • Budgets Will Suddenly Change
