Taking Healthcare by Storm: Industry Insights with John D’Alesandro

In this episode of Taking Healthcare by Storm, Quality Insights Medical Director Dr. Jean Storm speaks with John D’Alesandro, founder of Amplefi and a healthcare operations expert who has spent more than two decades helping hospital leaders improve how care actually moves through their systems. John explains that long ER waits and overcrowding are driven by hospital-wide flow blockages, cultural workarounds, and poor visibility into capacity—not simply staffing or space shortages. He describes adapting Lean thinking, using AI to anticipate admissions earlier, and creating shared accountability through an action center that tracks who can move, what they’re waiting on, and what barriers must be removed.If you have any topics or guests you'd like to see on future episodes, reach out to us on our website.The views and opinions expressed by the host and guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views, positions, or policies of Quality Insights.
