We can't fix healthcare without solving real problems for patients. On The Better Care Podcast, Meghan Huffman, VP of Digital Health at Novant Health, shared a moment that hit close to home. While visiting her grandparents, she found out they’d spent the week driving back and forth to follow-up appointments. They’re comfortable using an iPhone, so why wasn’t there an easier option? Digital health is about meeting patients where they are and making care more seamless, especially for those who need it most.

Technology ROI can be tricky. Some investments, like EMRs or TVs in patient rooms, don’t have a direct financial return—but they’re now an expectation. Smart rooms are heading the same way. The key? They can’t be designed for just one purpose. If they’re only used for virtual nursing or sitter programs, the math won’t add up. But as a comprehensive solution, their impact becomes undeniable. Meghan Huffman shared how Novant Health is tracking real outcomes to make smart rooms a game-changer for both clinicians and patients.

On The Better Care Podcast, Meghan Huffman, VP of Digital Health at Novant Health, called out a major issue: there are too many layers between providers and their patients. Employers, payers, the government - everyone has a role, but the result? A convoluted system that makes delivering care harder than it needs to be. Meanwhile, clinicians are stuck navigating financial models instead of just practicing medicine. If we could strip away the bureaucracy and let providers focus on patient care, the system would actually work for the people it’s supposed to serve.
