In this episode of The Advancing Health Innovation Show, host Michael Stamatinos sits down with Jeff Grandia, Co-Founder of Redi Health Analytics, to dive into a story of a quiet revolution happening in rural healthcare. With decades of experience, including a career shaped at Intermountain Healthcare and Health Catalyst, Jeff is on a mission: to bring financial sustainability, clinical quality improvement, and population health strategies to underserved rural hospitals—through data.Jeff has spent over two decades at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and data, with a background that includes time at Intermountain Healthcare and Health Catalyst — two organizations known for their trailblazing approach to clinical quality improvement and data-driven transformation.But in 2021, Jeff made a bold move: he and his business partner, John Wadsworth, launched Redi Health Analytics to take the best of what they’d learned from large health systems and bring it into the vastly underserved rural healthcare landscape.This episode isn't just about dashboards and tech. It's about saving real hospitals and the communities they serve from shutting down.In this episode: • Discover how Redi Health helped a 17-bed hospital uncover $750K in new revenue from a charge master audit.• Hear why real innovation is happening in rural settings — not in spite of their constraints, but because of them.• Learn how Jeff’s personal battle with cancer deepened his commitment to care access and sustainability in small communities.• Understand the core belief that drives Redi Health: data should be actionable, affordable, and transformative — no matter your zip code.Unlike most startups in healthcare tech, Redi Health isn’t fueled by venture capital or chasing a unicorn valuation. It’s built on values. Jeff and his team have deliberately chosen to grow sustainably, price accessibly, and guarantee return on investment for their rural clients — often finding millions in savings and revenue potential that hospital leaders didn’t even know existed.Whether you’re a healthcare executive, clinician, policymaker, data analyst, or simply someone passionate about equitable care — this is a conversation that will challenge assumptions, open eyes, and give you a front-row seat to what real innovation looks like.Learn more about Redi Health Analytics: https://redihealth.com/Connect with Jeff on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-grandia/The Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show started with the idea of wanting to highlight stories of what healthcare innovation truly looks like in action.

・In this episode of The Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show, host Michael Stamatinos interviews Dan Juberg, Senior Vice President of Health and Head of Corporate Development & Payer Provider Strategy at CareSyntax. Dan has dedicated his career to improving surgical outcomes by using artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and surgical intelligence to make operations safer, more efficient, and better for both patients and healthcare providers.What You Will Learn in This Episode:・How AI-driven surgical intelligence is identifying and preventing complications before they happen.・Why 5% of surgeries worldwide result in complications, and how nearly half of those could be avoided with better processes and real-time risk alerts.・How the healthcare industry is applying “Moneyball” strategies—the same data-driven approach that transformed baseball—to surgery to improve outcomes and reduce costs.・The biggest challenges in adopting AI in healthcare, including physician resistance, ethical concerns, and data management issues.・How surgical teams are using real-time feedback loops to refine their techniques and improve patient safety.・The role of value-based care in driving improvements in surgery and how healthcare organizations are aligning incentives to reduce unnecessary procedures and improve efficiency.・Dan’s personal connection to surgical safety and why his experience with a family tragedy motivates his work in improving healthcare outcomes.Key Takeaways and Insights:・Operating rooms are among the most dangerous environments in modern healthcare—second only to battlefields. Yet many people trust surgery as if it were as safe as flying.・AI can provide real-time alerts during surgery, helping surgeons avoid preventable errors that could lead to serious complications.・Variability in surgical techniques leads to inconsistent outcomes, but standardizing best practices through data can help improve overall safety and efficiency.・What professional soccer teams, like Liverpool FC, and high-performing surgical teams have in common when it comes to using data to optimize performance and prevent injuries.Why This MattersSurgical intelligence is an emerging field that is transforming the way surgeries are performed. By analyzing video, patient records, and procedural data, AI can detect patterns that might go unnoticed by even the most experienced surgeons. This means hospitals can reduce complications, lower costs, and improve patient care. However, integrating AI into an industry that has long relied on human expertise presents challenges, especially when some doctors resist change.Dan explains how Caresyntax is tackling these challenges by working with hospitals, payers, and providers to create a more data-driven, proactive approach to surgery. He also shares real-world examples of how AI has already helped improve surgical outcomes, such as identifying early signs of excessive blood loss and streamlining operating room workflows.Join the Conversation・Do you think AI and real-time data analysis will significantly reduce surgical complications?・Have you or someone you know experienced challenges with surgery outcomes?・What role should technology play in making surgeries safer and more efficient?Follow Dan & CaresyntaxLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-juberg/https://caresyntax.com/US/Subscribe to The Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show for more conversations with leaders shaping the future of healthcare.
