There are many reasons to celebrate the health ecosystem in the state of Utah. In this episode of It’s Time, our AI hosts dive into how Utah could take things to a new level, by leading the charge in revolutionizing community health systems. Inspired by six converging forces shaping the state’s future, we explore a bold vision: shifting healthcare from episodic treatments and profit-driven models to a competency-based, efficient, and fair system. Those forces are: the current national political environment with the new Trump administration; the rapidly accelerating relevance of artificial intelligence in health and medicine; the new medical school announced at Brigham Young University; a burgeoning culture of entrepreneurship, disruption, and innovation, including "Silicon Slopes"; Intermountain, Select Health, and the University of Utah; and a trans-sectoral collaboration called the "One Health Collaboration." From rethinking professional pathways for clinicians to fostering flexibility and embracing AI, this conversation is about how transformative change could ripple across the entire healthcare landscape. Could Utah become the model for community health systems of the future? Tune in to find out how it could happen!

About the podcast
Everyone knows that we need to transform our health system. It's time that we do it. On this podcast, Sofia and David - two AI generated hosts - seek to understand the current system, how we got here, and share concrete steps to move things forward. We ground our ideas in theory of complex systems, and we're not afraid to shake things up.
