The Future of Healthcare: AI Hospitals That Think for Themselves w/ Claus Jensen @ UT Medical Center

On today’s episode, I got the host Claus Jensen the CITO @ the University of Texas Medical Center.We talk about- What if the hospital building itself became part of the medical team?- In an AI-driven world, standardization might actually become suboptimization.- Defensive programming shouldn’t just happen at the code level. It has to happen at the business level.Claus has 2 decades of transformation and technology experience and is currently leading the innovation, technology, automation, and AI elements of establishing a new Academic Medical Center, the first such in the Austin metropolitan area. He’s taking a future backwards approach to what integrated care should look like. Over the next 5 years he plans to grow the Dell Medical School, expand the Research mission and build a new 300 bed specialty hospital.By integrating clinical science, technology, logistics, behavioral science and data science we are creating a differentiated and unique environment and experience, with digital first as a foundational principle.This is episode 21 of How NOT to Build.00:00 — The Hospital That Thinks for Itself03:38 — Why Standardization Might Be Killing Innovation07:58 — Can AI Personalize Hospital Operations in Real Time?13:40 — From Pigeon Racing Software to the C-Suite16:50 — The Truck Drivers Who Threatened a 15-Year-Old Programmer18:20 — What Hasn’t Changed in Tech Since 198219:25 — AI Can Build Faster — But Can Humans Keep Up?20:38 — The AI Model That Learned the Wrong Thing24:58 — The $738 Billion Bug That Almost Broke a Bank27:40 — Why Good People Still Make Dangerous Mistakes28:45 — The Most Important Skill for CTOs and Founders32:45 — The Leadership Mistake That Changed Claus Jensen’s Career35:20 — Why Technical Mastery Alone Isn’t Enough38:05 — How to Separate AI Hype From Real Innovation40:40 — The Future of Healthcare Isn’t What You Think
