Every episode approaches healthcare transformation the same way medicine should: with evidence, precision, and zero tolerance for comfortable myths.
Physician. Executive. Strategist. Dr. Sarah Matt has built, advised, and scaled healthcare programs inside the systems most consultants only study from the outside. The Clinical Realist brings that perspective directly to founders, executives, and clinicians who need to know what actually works: not what looks good in a whitepaper.
Every episode applies the same standard: if the strategy doesn't survive contact with a real health system, real budget cycle, or real patient panel, it doesn't make the show.
What actually gets adopted, what gets shelved, and why the gap between the two almost never shows up in vendor decks.
Policy, payment reform, and care delivery transformation: decoded for the people who have to execute on it, not just write about it.
What it looks like when you've been both clinician and executive: and why that seat produces a fundamentally different read on every healthcare debate.
Sarah's second show, published by Medical Economics for physicians and practice leaders. Episodes on what new technology does to the practice, the patient and the profession: AI scribe liability, AI-driven prior authorization denials, patients who arrive with chatbot advice, and whether AI pays for itself in a small practice.
New episode alerts plus the healthcare strategy analysis that goes deeper than the podcast. No filler. No delay.
