Nurse Rosa's INsights

What happens when a physician with 15 years of frontline experience stops waiting for healthcare to fix itself, and builds the fix himself?

In this episode of the Nurse Rosa's INsights Podcast, host Rosa Hart sits down with Zaman Shah, MD MBA, founder and CEO of Medway, a physician-led AI infrastructure company transforming EHRs into AI-first platforms.

Dr. Shah brings a rare combination most health tech founders simply don't have: clinical credibility from 15 years of frontline practice, business training from an MBA at UAB, and specialized Harvard training in healthcare AI. His mission is direct : restore the human connection in healthcare by making every EHR intelligent, interoperable, and effortless through a clinician-designed, compliant AI layer.

What Medway actually solves:
Small-to-mid-size and specialty EHRs often lack the time, talent, or capital to build AI in-house. Medway provides plug-and-play AI infrastructure — delivered under the EHR vendor's own brand — that brings ambient documentation, smart data access, and validated order entry to market in weeks, not years.

In this episode, you'll hear:

How 15 years of frontline medicine shaped Dr. Shah's vision for Medway

Why small and specialty EHRs are being left behind in the AI race — and how Medway closes that gap

The real cost of fragmented data, redundant workflows, and manual administrative work on clinical care

Why interoperability is still broken and what universal, standards-based access would actually look like

How ambient documentation and conversational retrieval can give clinicians back their time with patients

Dr. Shah's billion-dollar vision: a modern operating layer for healthcare that eliminates waste, closes care gaps in real time, and reduces friction for both clinicians and patients

Dr. Shah's billion-dollar answer:
If given a $1B grant, Dr. Shah would build and scale a modern operating layer for healthcare — starting with universal interoperability so clinicians and patients can access the right information instantly, without faxing or chasing records. He would embed ambient documentation and guided order entry directly into care delivery, invest in real-time quality and care-gap closure during the visit rather than after, and fund patient-facing access tools that reduce administrative burden. Across all of it: trust, transparent governance, measurable outcomes, and adoption incentives built for sustained ROI.

Healthcare is changing faster than most people realize.

In this episode of Nurse Rosa's INsights, Rosa Hart sits down with physician, healthcare strategist, and author Dr. Sarah Matt to explore how technology is reshaping the future of care. Dr. Matt shares her remarkable journey from practicing general surgeon to becoming a leader in healthcare technology and digital health strategy, including her work at Oracle Health and with emerging healthcare startups.

Their conversation dives into one of the most urgent issues in healthcare today: access to care. Dr. Matt explains how geographic barriers, financial challenges, and outdated systems continue to limit care for millions of patients. She also discusses how innovations like telemedicine, remote surgery, ambient AI, and digital health platforms are helping bring care directly to patients, no matter where they live.

Rosa and Dr. Matt also discuss the often overlooked role of nurses in shaping healthcare innovation. Nurses are uniquely positioned to identify gaps in care delivery, advocate for patients, and help design technology that actually works in clinical settings.

Another major theme of the conversation is medical debt and how financial barriers prevent patients from seeking the care they need. Dr. Matt shares insights from her new book, The Borderless Healthcare Revolution, which outlines practical strategies for breaking down geographic, financial, and systemic barriers to healthcare.

From community clinics serving uninsured populations to global telehealth models that connect patients with specialists across continents, this episode explores what it will take to build a more equitable, accessible, and human-centered healthcare system.

Dr. Matt has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of clinical medicine, enterprise technology, and healthcare strategy, advising health systems, digital health companies, and policymakers on building scalable solutions that improve patient access.

She is the author of the national bestselling book:

The Borderless Healthcare Revolution: The Definitive Guide to Breaking Geographic Barriers Through Technology

The book offers practical frameworks for expanding healthcare access through telemedicine, remote care, and emerging technologies while addressing physical, financial, and cultural barriers to care.

Healthcare revenue cycle management is changing fast. Brian Robertson of VisiQuate explains how AI and data analytics improve hospital reimbursement.

At the ViVE Health Tech Conference, Rosa Hart speaks with Brian Robertson, Founder and CEO of VisiQuate, about how artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics are transforming healthcare revenue cycle management.

Brian explains how healthcare organizations are moving beyond traditional reporting toward predictive revenue cycle intelligence. Instead of reacting to denied claims, lost revenue, or delayed payments, health systems can now use AI-driven analytics to anticipate problems earlier and make smarter operational decisions.

The conversation explores how AI, automation, and advanced analytics help hospitals improve reimbursement, reduce administrative waste, and navigate increasing payer complexity. These tools also help healthcare leaders strengthen financial sustainability while allowing clinicians to focus more time on patient care.

Rosa and Brian also discuss the critical role nurses and frontline clinicians play in the successful adoption of new healthcare technologies. Innovation only works when technology aligns with real clinical workflows.

As healthcare continues to evolve, data-driven decision making, automation, and collaboration between clinicians and technologists will be essential to building a more efficient and patient-centered healthcare system.
