This episode explores the rapid, bottom‑up adoption of AI in healthcare, featuring co-founder and general partner at Town Hall Ventures and former CMS (U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) administrator Andy Slavitt. Along with hosts Justin Norden and Matt Lungren, Andy discusses the evolving LLM landscape, why many clinicians use AI daily despite organizational resistance, and why leaders can’t delegate AI literacy. They examine regulatory challenges, CMS’s new access model that directly rewards effective AI, and how the same tools doctors use are empowering patients to manage their own health.
