Ep. 230 The Role of Technology in Improving Healthcare Systems
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026
As agencies look to modernize healthcare systems, technology leaders face a unique challenge: driving innovation while safeguarding sensitive personal data and meeting strict regulatory requirements. This week on Feds At the Edge, we hear from two unique perspectives on how to modernize healthcare safely, strategically, and effectively. Suresh Soundararajan, CIO for the Virginia Department of Health, explains why technology initiatives fail when they aren't aligned with organizational strategy, and why success should be measured through meaningful outcomes like patient satisfaction and reduced processing times, not change for change's sake. Nasheb Ismaily, Principal Solutions Engineer, Public Sector at Cloudera Government Solutions, introduces the concept of "precision health," showing how predictive analytics can help identify risks earlier, shift care away from costly emergency interventions, and improve long-term outcomes. Tune in on your favorite podcast platform for this conversation that underscores the importance of shared vision, cultural change, and a deliberate, strategic approach to technology adoption in healthcare.
