Episode Description

September 2, 2026: Alan Gabriola (VP of Healthcare, CTG) sits down with Bill Russell. CEOs come home asking why the health system is not doing more with AI. The CIO already knows they can. The shop never finished the hard work underneath. 220 leaders told 229 where next year's money is going: access and revenue cycle. Alan's line for what actually wins: not the most AI. The operating model.
