In 2021, I have said yes to one more way I can help develop next generation leaders. I am excited to be one of the rotating co-hosts on This Week In Health IT Monday Newsday series. Bill Russell has done an
amazing job the past three years growing and evolving This Week In Health IT into several different podcast series and channels. Bill shares my commitment to developing next generation leaders through his many different offerings, so I quickly said yes when asked to be one of the co-hosts in the new format of the Newsday series. Our first episode together will be available January 11, so I hope you will check it out.
Bill’s commitment and goal is clear: develop the next generation of health leaders by amplifying the best thinking. This Week In Health IT has proven to be a valuable contribution to our industry. My health IT advisory firm, StarBridge Advisors, is proud to continue as a channel sponsor in 2021.
After a very successful 2020 with 230,000 downloads and 177 new episodes including the daily COVID Field Report series from March to July, Bill has changed things up yet again for 2021. There are several options to pick and choose from for yourself and to share with your teams. These offerings provide a no-cost, easy, accessible way for staying current and continuing to learn from others.
Monday Newsday – replacing the Tuesday Newsday show, every Monday Bill will have a co-host to discuss key stories in the news.
Wednesday Solutions Showcase – 2020 episodes highlighted AI, Robotic Process Automation, Machine Learning, End Point Security, Social Determinants of Health partnerships, Mental Health integration with primary care and more.
Friday Influencers – Interviews with industry leaders. Guests include IT leaders, health executives and experts who can shed light on the challenges that healthcare faces and the potential solutions.
This year represents the most aggressive launch of new content with a daily show that is designed specifically for Health IT. Every day Bill will break down a single health IT news story or concept and publish it on Today In Health IT. Go to TodayinHealthIT.com for more info or find it wherever you listen to podcasts. This is paired with a daily posting by Bill on LinkedIn where you can engage with him and others on the content. This new podcast offering should be easy to add to your daily routine or batch them up for the weekend. His first episode in this new daily series gives you a sense of why he started this venture three years ago and what to expect in 2021.
Clip Notes is a feature introduced in 2020 for those who can’t or don’t want to take the time to listen to a full podcast. I listen to podcasts on my twice a day walks so have at least an hour of listening time each day but still find the Clip Notes feature to be useful. When you subscribe to Clip Notes, you will receive via email a summary of show highlights including a few short clips as well as a link to the full show.
If all this is new to you, you can get a taste of the 2020 content with these three top 10 recaps:

With IT budgets as tight as ever and the ongoing need to retain and develop talent, This Week In Health IT and the new Today in Health IT should be a “go to” for you and your team.
