Pam Russek on Quitting Retirement to Advance Healthcare Data Transformation

On this episode of HITea, I had the privilege of sitting down with Pam Russek, COO of P-n-T Data Corp, for a powerful conversation on leadership, innovation, and the future of healthcare IT. Pam opened up about her career journey across payer and vendor roles, why she came out of retirement to lead again, and how she’s helping drive transformation in prior authorization and healthcare data integration. Key insights from our chat: The latest trends in prior authorization innovation and how AI and APIs are shaping efficiency as well as why secure, integrated healthcare data is the next frontier for better care delivery. What inspired Pam to return from retirement and why a smaller, nimble health IT company was the right fit. Her reflections on mentorship, leadership clarity, and progress for women in Health IT. Pam also shared her favorite clear tea mug - and the story behind it - as a reminder of the importance of clarity in communication and leadership. Tune in to learn more about Pam's vision for the future of healthcare technology!
