ViVE Special: Olga Muller Spills the Tea on the Unwritten Rules of EHRs

In this special ViVE conference episode of HITea With Grace, I’m joined by my friend and founder of Kepler Team, Olga Muller, a powerhouse in the health tech space helping startups and digital health companies overcome one of their biggest early hurdles: interoperability.

As Founding Partner and CEO of Kepler Team, Olga works directly with early-stage and scaling companies to untangle complex integrations, navigate compliance, and avoid the all-too-common pitfalls of entering the EHR ecosystem. This episode is a must-listen for anyone building in healthcare—and especially for startups that want to play smart, move fast, and avoid getting sidelined by the unspoken rules of the industry.

We dig into:

• The myths vs. realities of working with EHRs and integrating into hospital systems
• When to start planning for integrations—and why waiting too long can derail growth
• The unique challenges of building at the MVP stage vs. scaling to enterprise
• How to tackle compliance without killing innovation (yes, it’s possible)
• And what Olga sees as the next big fight in healthcare IT (hint: it might not be what you think)

Olga brings deep operational experience and sharp insight into the nuance of health tech infrastructure. Her advice is clear, actionable, and rooted in hard-won experience helping startups survive and scale in one of the toughest industries out there.

Whether you’re founding a company, scaling one, or just want to understand the hidden dynamics shaping the digital health landscape—this conversation is packed with insight you won’t want to miss.
