Summary: This week I’m joined by Aaron Miri, the Chief Information Officer for Dell Medical School and the University of Texas Health Austin. In our discussion, Aaron talks about the complexity within the healthcare ecosystem and how they leverage innovation in atypical ways. He outlines his view of building the learning health system including the hospital that Steve Jobs would have built. Aaron talks about how healthcare is complex, but how he navigates the challenges of siloed data, legacy systems and established processes to focus on the patient. Lastly, he discusses the importance of policy and his congressionally-appointed role on the US Health and Human Services Health IT Advisory Committee (HITAC).
