AHIMA Podcast: Health IT Policy Check-Up With the End-Users Alliance

Published as part of the AHIMA High-Five Web Series

Mason Ingram, Premier’s Senior Director of Advocacy, joined the podcast stage with fellow members of the Health IT End-Users Alliance for AHIMA’s High-Five Web Series episode entitled, “Health IT Policy Check-Up With the End-Users Alliance.”

In this segment, Mason emphasized a core truth: technology is only as powerful as its usability. End users live in the gaps we are all trying to fill—and their insights are essential to designing intuitive tools and durable public policy.

Mason also explored:

• Why end-user testing is critical to avoid unintended risks.
• How AI can extend the healthcare workforce, reawaken the provider-patient relationship, and unlock richer patient-generated data.
• The promise of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ aligned networks initiative to connect the full health-tech ecosystem.
• The urgent need for real-time interoperability and prior authorization reform that works for providers on the ground.
