PODCAST - When IT Hits the Fan: Seth Sharpe

“Early in your career, you think everyone wants your opinion.

Turns out, listening gets you a lot further.”

                                                       — Seth Sharpe

From the hospital floor to the executive suite, Seth Sharpe has seen every angle of healthcare finance and operations -- and he’s still asking the tough questions.

💬 “Ultimately, you have to take care of your own healthcare. We’ve been trained to trust the system, but now we need to engage with it.”

On this episode of "When the IT Hits the Fan", Seth Sharpe, Senior Principal Advisor, joins us for a candid, insightful conversation about what it really takes to run (and right-size) healthcare operations -- from back office to bedside.

With roots in cost accounting and decision support, Seth built his expertise by asking thousands of “why’s” across hundreds of departments. The result? A perspective most leaders never get: the full picture.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

✅ Why empathy still matters in finance

✅ What COVID taught us about labor, leadership, and flexibility

✅ How AI can plug small leaks -- and deliver big returns

✅ Why hospitals are becoming ICUs -- and what’s moving closer to home

✅ The advice Seth would give his younger self (hint: it’s worth repeating)l
