In this episode, we talk to Dr. Geeta Nayyar, healthcare executive and author. Dr. Nayyer joins us to talk about her recent WSJ bestseller, Dead Wrong, and the role of technology in misinformation. 

Dr. Nayyar picks up the conversation talking about her personal experiences with mis-information in healthcare; and what drives people to question the incentives of a healthcare provider - be it the AIDS epidemic, or the recent COVID pandemic. Poor access to information not only lets patients down; but can also drive provider burnout.

Why do healthcare organizations think of marketing, patient acquisition and retention as distinct from care delivery and clinical outcomes? Why do organizations work in silos? Dr. Nayyar talks about the importance of helping clinicians build more authentic, accountable, consumer-centric relationships on social media. Dr. Nayyar talks about how generative AI could be an exciting tool of positive education; but also drive misinformation if it’s not leveraged with the appropriate oversight, best practices.
