From Bedside to the Build: A Nurse-Turned-IT Leader on What HIMSS Got Right and What Health Systems Still Need to Fix

Author: HealthIMPACT Live March 31, 2026 Duration: 33:46

Join us for a conversation with someone who has actually done the clinical work. Mario Magsaysay started as a bedside nurse in med-surg oncology before moving into clinical informatics, and now leads IS applications for Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, where he bridges what clinicians need with what technology can deliver. Fresh from HIMSS 2026, Mario shares what stood out on the show floor, what hallway conversations revealed about where health systems are really struggling, and what he is actively building at his own organization right now. If you are navigating AI, EHR optimization, and operational complexity with limited resources, this one cuts through the noise.

Each week, Digital Health Talks-Changemakers Focused on Fixing Healthcare brings you straight to the intersection of medicine and innovation. This isn't about abstract theories; it's a grounded conversation with the clinicians, administrators, and technology leaders who are actively redesigning systems. You'll hear their firsthand accounts of implementing tools like telehealth platforms and AI-driven analytics to tackle real-world problems-from expanding access in underserved communities to personalizing patient care. The discussions cut through the hype, focusing on practical applications of cloud infrastructure, 5G, and machine learning that are making a measurable difference today. Produced by HealthIMPACT Live, the podcast digs into the nuanced questions these changemakers face: deciding where limited resources are best invested, how to ethically leverage patient data, and what it truly takes to improve clinical outcomes. If you're curious about the tangible work being done to reshape our healthcare experience, this is a place to listen in on the honest, complex, and hopeful work of building a better system.
