Proud to be featured in Becker's Healthcare as part of the Monthly Speaker Series for the upcoming 10th Annual Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Conference. In this month’s spotlight, I shared my perspective on the future of the healthcare IT workforce. The industry is undergoing a paradigm shift — moving from siloed, specialized roles to more integrated, generalist profiles that combine technical expertise with empathy, communication, and human-centered thinking. Many leaders across the field share this vision: it’s no longer just about the tools we build, but the people we build them for. You can also see the thinking of other leaders in this link. https://lnkd.in/gtwm-6ra "Over the next two years, I envision a fundamental shift in the structure and skill set of our healthcare IT teams. We will transition from the traditional ‘T-shaped’ model—where team members possess deep expertise in a single domain with limited breadth—to a ‘V-shaped’ model. In this new paradigm, individuals maintain strong specialization while also cultivating a broader and deeper understanding of adjacent disciplines. As AI increasingly automates routine, skill-based tasks, the human differentiators will become clear: communication, critical thinking and human-centered design. These competencies will no longer be optional, they will be essential. The role of healthcare IT professionals will evolve beyond technical proficiency. We will prioritize building teams that are not only technologically adept but also empathetic, adaptive and strategically aligned with clinical and patient needs. The future belongs to those who can bridge technical execution with a nuanced understanding of the human experience in healthcare. In essence, we are investing in the development of multi-disciplinary, design-minded professionals who can navigate complexity, collaborate across functions and co-create innovative solutions that truly advance patient care." #HealthIT #DigitalHealth #Leadership #WorkforceTransformation #HealthcareInnovation
