Developing a Digital Strategy for True Clinical Innovation

What happens when a former clinician becomes the architect of digital transformation? You get bold, practical innovation that actually works. In this episode of The CereCore Podcast, we talk with Julie Demaree, Executive Director of Clinical Innovation and Transformation at St. Mary’s Healthcare, about how she’s turning tech frustration into clinical empowerment. From rebuilding trust in the EHR to rolling out ambient AI and automation bots, Julie shares how her team is making digital tools work for—not against—providers.

 

If you're a healthcare CIO, informatics leader, or tech strategist, this episode is your blueprint for:

• Building a digital strategy that clinicians actually love
• Creating governance that fuels innovation (not red tape)
• Using data, AI, and automation to solve real-world problems
• Bridging the gap between IT and clinical care—without burning out your teams

Julie’s experience proves that clinical innovation isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about solving problems with purpose. Listen and get inspired to lead your own transformation journey.
