Innovating Until the End – Dr. Dan Durand, Chief Innovation Officer, LifeBridge Health

What this episode covers

“This is a raging fire of infection across the country right now, and the vaccine is the equivalent of so much water, but really not enough right now to hold it at bay.” In this episode, Dr. Dan Durand joins host Shiv Gaglani to discuss his role as Chief Innovation Officer for LifeBridge, a $2.5 billion, continuum-based health system in Maryland, and the adjustments his company has had to make due to COVID. Listen in to discover how, through a partnership with UnderArmour, LifeBridge was able to have every member in their facility masked in a short amount of time, how they are approaching vaccine distribution, and what these vaccines mean (or don’t mean) for our immunity. “There's nothing more potentially wasteful in this time in history,” says Dr. Durand, “than someone getting one COVID vaccine shot, and not following up with the second shot.” Plus, learn about the apps monitoring vaccine recipients, and how Dr. Durand's background in radiology drew him to recognize the importance of technology within healthcare.
