In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, host Eric Glazer brings together health system leaders transforming how care continues beyond the hospital stay—using digital coordination, subspecialization, and AI-enabled virtual care to reduce readmissions and improve patient experience.

Our guests include:

Matthew Sakumoto, MD, Medical Director, Connected Care Clinic, and Regional Chief Medical Informatics Officer, Sutter Health
Sean O'Grady, President of Acute and Ambulatory Operations, Endeavor Health
Sarah Schenck, MD, Executive Director, Center for Virtual Health, ChristianaCare
Tina Nelson, Strategic Partnership Manager, TytoCare

Together, they explore:

How Sutter Health virtualized Transition-of-Care Management visits to improve post-discharge follow-up, eliminate transportation barriers, and connect hospitalists directly with patients at home.
How Endeavor Health is scaling a subspecialized hospital model—combining orthopedics, spine, and cardiovascular centers of excellence with Epic-driven coordination to deliver big-system outcomes in community settings.
How ChristianaCare's Center for Virtual Health delivers "high-frequency, low-intensity" primary care—83% asynchronously—supported by Patient Digital Ambassadors who create human-centered, always-on engagement.
How TytoCare and Sanford Health are expanding specialty access across rural communities with FDA-cleared diagnostic technology that brings high-quality remote exams to local clinics.
How digital tools and aligned incentives are building a new care ecosystem—one that integrates human connection, data, and technology to keep patients home, healthy, and connected.
