The Big Unlock Podcast · Interoperability and AI Adoption are the Pillars of Healthcare – Podcast with Michael Marchant

In this episode, Michael Marchant, Director of Digital Applications at Sutter Health, shares his expert perspective on how interoperability and AI are reshaping the future of healthcare. He discusses the promise of TEFCA (Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement) in expanding data exchange beyond treatment to support broader care coordination. He also highlights California’s Data Exchange Framework as a model for equitable and inclusive health information sharing across diverse communities.

The conversation explores the real-world applications of generative AI in clinical settings, from ambient documentation to AI-powered inbox agents that reduce administrative burden and help clinicians deliver faster, more personalized care.

Michael emphasizes the importance of assistive, not autonomous, AI, spotlighting use cases where technology enhances the capabilities of care teams without replacing the human touch. Drawing on decades of experience in health IT and data policy, Michael offers a grounded yet visionary take on building scalable, interoperable, and patient-centered digital ecosystems. Take a listen.
