Voices of Care: From Fragmentation to Fabric

Kevin ScaliaStrategic Advisor, Netsmart

AJ PetersonSenior Vice President & General Manager, CareGuidance, Netsmart

David StrocchiaSenior Vice President & Managing Director, Provider Solutions, Netsmart 

Voices of Care episode 2 features an in-depth conversation on the evolution of healthcare technology across three distinct eras of digitization. Host David Strocchia sits down with 30-year industry veteran and Strategic Advisor Kevin Scalia, along with AJ Peterson, SVP & GM, CareGuidance, to reflect on past developments and define what community-based care providers can expect from technology today. 

From the early days of paper charts through the development of electronic health records (EHRs) to the modern day of leveraging augmented intelligence and automation, this discussion explores how healthcare IT has steadily progressed from supporting billing and compliance to enabling measurement, interoperability and whole-person care. It also highlights how modernized technologies are giving back to clinicians and consumers by reducing administrative friction, supporting care coordination and empowering decision makers.  

Tune in to learn why true digital transformation is not about technology for technology’s sake, but about connecting people, systems and data into a unified fabric that supports community-based care.
