Jim Hewitt, CEO of JardogsHealth, joins The Innovator’s Playbook to trace a career that began with self-taught programming and grew into decades of healthcare technology leadership. He shares lessons from building early hospital systems, advancing electronic prescribing, creating FollowMyHealth, and returning to healthcare with an AI-first vision.

The conversation explores why replacing an EHR rarely solves the real problem, how AI can improve clinical documentation, coding, revenue capture, and patient engagement, and why experienced human oversight still matters. It is a practical look at healthcare innovation, technical judgment, and building around the needs of physicians and patients.
