Solving for Today, Building for Tomorrow: How to Scale Healthcare Innovation Without Regulatory Blind Spots with Dr. Jasen Gundersen
Manage episode 519325441 series 3554948
Most healthcare startups ask "when do we need compliance?" Dr. Jasen Gundersen asked a better question: "how do we build with it from the start?"
In this episode, Ross sits down with Jasen, CEO and co-founder of CardioOne, a practice enablement platform supporting independent cardiologists nationwide. Jasen shares how CardioOne grew from four people to 180 employees in three years, with compliance built into their foundation from day one, not added as an afterthought.
You'll hear candid insights on educating physicians about compliance, finding partners who solve problems instead of just enforcing rules, and why compliance programs create preferred partner status with payers and hospitals.
Jasen explains how compliance became essential infrastructure at CardioOne, the kind that enables confident growth rather than slowing it down.
If you're leading a growing healthcare organization, this conversation offers real-world wisdom on scaling responsibly while keeping patient care at the center of everything you build.
