From Published to Practiced: Closing the Gap Between What We Know and What We Do

Sep 30, 2026

Episode Description

Better evidence lands every year. The win is getting it to the bedside while the patient is still in the room, and that is now solvable.
Cambrian Health turns a published guideline into a working protocol and surfaces the next right step inside the EHR, at the visit. First target is cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic care, where the first ever CKM guideline gives cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology, and primary care one shared framework to work from. Co-Founder and CEO Sarah Schmidt walks through what makes it stick: choosing the right patients for a protocol, assigning clear ownership so it stays current, closing the cost and prior auth gaps that keep proven therapies from patients, and building the CFO case for prevention.

  • Pick the right patient population for a protocol before you build it
  • Assign protocol ownership so guideline updates land in weeks
  • Close the cost and prior auth gaps keeping proven therapies from patients
  • Build the CFO case for prevention that survives a budget review
  • Decide what to buy and what to build for clinical AI
