Helping Small Healthcare Entities Thrive

OUR GUEST  Phil Stravers, Partner and Chief Marketing Officer at ICE Technologies, joined us to talk to us about their mission to help community healthcare entities navigate the pains of healthcare IT through not a one-size-fits all method, but through tailored services and projects that is right-sized for the smaller healthcare entity wanting to thrive via IT, and not just survive, in today’s healthcare landscape.

Specifically, we discuss the following ways ICE Technologies is Helping Small Healthcare Entities Thrive with Phil on this episode:

  1. (3:23) Will you give us an IT overview of the market you serve? What applications are they using? What are there biggest challenges?
  2. (4:35) Why are experts predicting 1/5 of US hospitals are seeking affiliations within the next 5 years?
  3. (7:01) What changes in healthcare everyone is facing and how leaders need to think for the future?
  4. (8:34) What is technology’s role in the topic of M&A?
  5. (14:57) What are your recommendations for evaluating effectiveness of IT before just assuming IT woes will be fixed with an affiliation? 
  6. (20:15) What’s next for ICE Technologies? Is there anything new that customers can expect from you as we head into 2016?

Guest Bio

“The combination of healthcare and IT is nothing but potential. I am completely convinced that success lies in balancing the right disciplines: People, Process and Technology. This is why healthcare IT is such a good fit for me. I love organizing teams toward a common goal and helping people create a more positive future. Most importantly, I love doing that in towns where people know each other. That’s why after 20 years doing this, I still have no problem getting in my pickup at 4 a.m. to drive out to a remote Nebraska town to talk to a group of people about how we make IT work better. It’s a passion for me.”

Phil Stravers has been an advocate for community healthcare since joining ICE in 1995. Prior to joining ICE, he started and oversaw a national help desk supporting technology systems for engineering and architectural design.
