The Operating System for Modern Healthcare

Boombostic Health — Live from ViVE 2026 Healthcare doesn't have a clinical excellence problem. It has an operations problem. In this episode of Boombostic Health, Bradley Bostic sits down with Dr. David Atashroo of Qventus to unpack the hidden layer of healthcare that determines whether care actually works: care operations. The United States leads the world in clinical innovation, yet patients still experience delays, canceled procedures, repeated paperwork, and fragmented care. Why? Because the real breakdown in healthcare happens outside the exam room — in scheduling, care coordination, surgical preparation, discharge planning, and the countless operational tasks that surround clinical care. Dr. Atashroo explains how AI is beginning to transform that operational layer by proactively identifying care gaps, coordinating workflows across the care continuum, and ensuring patients get the right care at the right time. Instead of adding more dashboards or tools, AI can become the system that orchestrates care itself. If healthcare is going to improve outcomes, reduce costs, and restore clinician capacity, the next frontier isn't better clinical tools. It's fixing the operations of healthcare. In this episode • Why healthcare's biggest failures are operational, not clinical • How AI can coordinate care across the entire patient journey • Why value-based care struggles to execute in real health systems • How AI can proactively close care gaps and identify risk • The future of AI as the operating layer of healthcare Key insight "If you can make the right thing to do the easy thing to do, you advance value-based care."
