Boardroom meets bedside | Radiology Rewired

Episode overview

In this episode of Radiology Rewired, Dr. Vivek Singh sits down with Scott Becker, founder of Becker's Healthcare and one of the most connected voices in the industry, to unpack the gap between how healthcare executives evaluate technology and how clinicians actually experience it on the ground. With decades spent talking to health system leaders, investors, and physicians across the country, Becker brings a rare, wide-lens view of where AI adoption is working, where it's overhyped, and why.

The conversation explores why intentional adoption beats opportunistic adoption, how platforms like Epic are reshaping the market for point solutions, and what “trust but verify” means for AI-assisted care. They discuss why addressing healthcare’s workforce shortage matters as much as introducing new technology.

Becker also shares lessons from building Becker's Healthcare from a small newsletter into a media conglomerate, and what he looks for in entrepreneurs and health systems that get technology adoption right.

A candid conversation about the real mechanics of AI adoption, from the boardroom to the reading room.
