Developing a Digital Strategy for True Clinical Innovation

What happens when a former clinician becomes the architect of digital transformation? You get bold, practical innovation that actually works. On this episode of The CereCore Podcast, host Phil Sobol, Vice President of Business Development at CereCore talks to Julie Demaree, Executive Director of Clinical Innovation and Transformation at St. Mary’s Healthcare Amsterdam, about how she’s turning tech frustration into clinical empowerment. From rebuilding trust in the EHR to rolling out ambient AI and automation bots, Julie shares how her team is making digital tools work for, not against, providers.
