This is Nines’ podcast featuring Dr. Melissa Davis, MD, MBA, Nines VP of Clinical Operations,  and Joel Kronander, PhD, Nines Engineering Manager.

Welcome to Reducing Radiology Burnout, a podcast about ways to save radiologists' time and improve quality of care. To learn more about Nines Radiology, check out www.nines.com. In this episode Dr. Davis and Joel speak of the importance of being comfortable with constant iteration when building a new product such as the radiologist worklist. They also talk about the unexpected benefit of being pushed out of a comfort zone when a teammate questions and questions...and questions why a feature is being requested; sometimes the best innovation comes from building something no one initially asked for yet later realized was the crux of the problem all along.

Podcast Summary:

00:09 - Melissa and Joel outline Nines’ mission to create exceptional teleradiology that improves patient care. 

01:25 - What’s it mean to say that Nines engineers and radiologists work sideXside?

03:26 - A-ha moments come from looking at things from the way engineers like Joel think, which is completely different from how a radiologist like Melissa thinks.

04:25 - How to work side by side when working remotely from each other.

05:19 - The importance of breaking big ideas into small beta projects, and then iterating again and again. 

06:30 - Helping hospitals get comfortable with the concept of constant collaboration when building new radiology tools that help the radiologists and the ordering physicians.

08:40 - Efficiencies that come from iterating, and how those efficiencies are extended to healthcare providers.
