The $5B Bet That Changed Healthcare | CEO Don Trigg Veradigm
B
1:59Ben FanningHOST
What's a high-stakes story that shaped how you lead, work, or even how you live today?
D
2:05Don TriggGUEST
The first big formative experience that I had in that space, uh, as you noted, was at Cerner Corporation, which grew to be a, a Fortune 500 company prior to its sale to Oracle.
D
2:17Don TriggGUEST
And so when I think about high stakes inside healthcare IT, it's hard for me not to think about my mentor and friend, the late Neil Patterson, who was the founder-CEO of the company.
D
2:28Don TriggGUEST
Today, we think about the electronic medical record as a commonplace term, but it was really Neil Patterson who said, "What if, um, a physician and a nurse and a pharmacist could have the same real-time access to information? Uh, and, uh, what would it look like to create that data platform and that solution approach to make that happen?" And today, we think of that as the electronical med-medical record, but Neil bet the company on that.
D
3:00Don TriggGUEST
He had that concept, the classic entrepreneurial story, napkin drawing around automating the care process, connecting the person, structuring and storing the data, and then integrating it back into the care process.
D
3:13Don TriggGUEST
And that napkin drawing became a multi-million, multi-year, uh, R&D investment to go build out what would become the EMR.
D
3:24Don TriggGUEST
And so I was lucky enough early in my career and in my life to be a part of that cultural environment and that high-stakes orientation, and that propensity for risk, um, has been really formative for how I've thought about the entrepreneurial challenges that I've taken on, uh, first at Cerner, then at Apree Health, prior to its sale to Elevance, and now part of the DNA that I'm trying to build out and, uh, instill inside Veradigm.

When people look back at the AI era, what do you think leaders are overestimating and what do you think they're going to be underestimating? And I didn't really qualify it, but think about maybe 10 years from now and what they, and what you think they're gonna be overestimating versus underestimating when it comes to that.
