What if the biggest barrier to better cancer care isn't technology—it's how physicians approach treatment with ego?



In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Talia Baker, a transplant surgeon who walked away from clinical practice to solve a problem she witnessed firsthand: the liver cancer patient journey is fundamentally broken.

Dr. Baker introduces the Lori MDT project, a vision for reshaping how patients navigate fragmented cancer care. But the real conversation goes deeper—into the uncomfortable truths about institutional incentives, the care gaps between diagnosis and treatment, and why even the best academic centers are limited by their own biases. Her core argument: fragmented cancer care demands interdisciplinary collaboration and technology-driven process re-engineering. The era of incremental improvements is over. The future belongs to integrated services that cut across specialties—not siloed excellence in labs or imaging alone.

What You Will Discover:

- How the system's fragmentation and silos fail patients today

- Why 75% of cancer patients don't get multidisciplinary care

- The hardest problem: physician hubris, not technology implementation

- The wisest surgical lesson—knowing when not to operate

- Why we lost sight of focusing too much on product quality over service integration

- Building mosaics of superpowers before digital twins take over

This isn't about replacing clinicians with AI—it's about collaboration across clinicians, technologists, patients, and systems to augment what we can do together.

What if we're running a sick care system pretending to be healthcare? AI promises to change that by improving access for patients and reducing burden for providers, but only if we have leaders who know how to guide the transformation. The challenge: healthcare offers no structured pathway for developing these leaders.

Joining today's expert panel: Arlen Meyers, MD, MBA, President & CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, and Muhammad Siddiqui, Chief Digital & Information Officer at Reid Health. Together, they reveal why this leadership gap exists across four levels (personal, organizational, systemic, and societal) and what's actually working on the front lines.

The conversation moves beyond theory into practical realities: why the traditional triple threat model (clinician-researcher-educator) must evolve into something new, how real implementation success shows up in physician quality of life before ROI spreadsheets, and why sustainable AI adoption ultimately requires changing the rules that shape our current healthcare system. The missing piece isn't just technology. It's a culture of continuous learning that prepares physicians to bridge clinical expertise, technological fluency, and entrepreneurial thinking.

If AI is the future of healthcare, why is its adoption moving at a glacial speed?

In this episode, Sherri Douville, CEO of Medigram and Chair of the Trustworthy Technology and Innovation Consortium (TTIC), argues the true bottleneck is not technology, but a crisis of accountability. She explains that systems—even those that are FDA-approved and cyber-secure —stall because hospital leadership lacks robust governance frameworks to properly evaluate solutions and grant final approval for patient care.

The panel reveals how to establish trust infrastructure and why elevating AI governance to the same rigorous level as finance and clinical quality is the only path to scalability. This structural shift from treating AI as an "innovation experiment" to a reliable "system of record" is the only way to manage risk, ensure accountability, and accelerate safe, effective deployment.
