    This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com


    Point-of-care engagement only works when technology serves real clinical workflows instead of forcing new ones.

    In this episode, Angelo Campano, CEO of Flora Health, discusses how his company bridges pharmaceutical manufacturers, health systems, and digital platforms to deliver relevant content to physicians at the exact moment of care. He explains how Flora helps brands show up inside EHR workflows without disrupting clinicians, why partnerships with health systems and technology vendors matter more than reinventing distribution, and how education closes the language gap between pharma and health IT.

    How Microsoft Is Using AI Agents to Give Nurses Their Time Back with Mary Varghese Presti, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Health and Life Sciences

    This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com


    AI is finally mature enough to move out of the way so nurses and clinicians can put humans back at the center of care. 

    In this episode, Mary Varghese Presti, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Health and Life Sciences, discusses how global clinician shortages and rising acuity are colliding with an “AI frontier” that can reshape documentation, workflows, and patient outcomes. She shares her personal story as the daughter and former nurse who saw workforce gaps firsthand, then explains why Dragon Copilot for nurses was built to relieve documentation overload and capture the “invisible” work nurses do at the bedside. Mary breaks down the leap from copilots to agentic services, where digital colleagues take on predictable, nonclinical tasks and surface patterns clinicians would miss, as in Stanford’s AI-enabled tumor boards. Finally, she paints a future of hybrid human–digital teams and ambient, background technology that restores time, presence, and dignity to care.

    Why Clinical Trials Fail Even When the Science Is Strong with Heather Grey, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Real World Data, Clinical Trials, and Registry at Omega Healthcare

    This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com


    Clinical trials fail far more often due to flawed operations and unusable data than because of poor science.

    In this episode, Heather Grey, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Real World Data, Clinical Trials, and Registry at Omega Healthcare, explains why clinical research continues to stall despite scientific breakthroughs and growing excitement around AI. She details how messy data, underprepared sites, missed timelines, and gaps in education across patients, providers, and pharma create systemic delays that limit patient access and slow drug development. Heather shows how pairing clinical expertise with AI-driven data curation can produce FDA-grade data, keep trials on track, and enable more health systems to participate in research. She concludes by emphasizing that AI alone is insufficient, and that strong infrastructure, human quality assurance, and operational discipline are essential for expanding trial access and diversity.
