THCB Gang Special! Women Healthcare Leaders for Progress talk about health care & the election

THCB Gang is back! (I know you’ve all missed it) and we started with a bang. I met with five powerhouse women leaders in health care who’ve just issued a public statement signed by another 500+ women leaders in support of the Harris/Walz campaign.

On the Gang are Missy Krasner, digital health veteran most recently at Amazon and Redesign Health but wayback on the founder team at ONC; Molly Coye, who ran Medicaid in NJ and CA and has had every role in health innovation know to womankind; Miriam Paramore, investor board member and operator at many, many health tech companies; (Lori Evans Bernstein, founder of Caraway, Health Reveal & many more but also at ONC back in the day, who actually couldn’t make the call); Laurie McGraw, EVP at Transcarent, formerly at AMA, Allscripts, etc; and Audrey Mann Cronin, communication advisor to CEOs and Founder, Say it Media.

Despite my obvious political leanings, this wasn’t be a push over. Do we need this group? What does Harris want to do about health care? What can she do? I am on record as saying “not much”. This was great discussion, and I was (virtually) ducking alot! — Matthew Holt

Advice for Health Tech: Focus on Results, Mission, & Critics | Molly Coye, AVIA

By JESSICA DaMASSA, WTF HEALTH

Molly Coye has spent more than two decades working to advance technology initiatives in healthcare, serving roles as diverse as the Commissioner of Health for the State of New Jersey, Chief Innovation Officer for UCLA Health, and now Executive in Residence for AVIA, which mentors more than 50 large health systems on tech selection, adoption, and implementation. With such rich experience working with healthcare incumbents, we asked Molly to size up the current class of innovators, technologists, developers, and investors bringing the latest health tech solutions to market. What have they gotten right? Where do they need to improve? “We’re not so good at cost of care and lack of access,” says Molly, who also sees potential for that to change thanks to the work of organizations like Health Tech for Medicaid and an increased focus on solutions that address the health needs of ALL patient populations.
