Closing Care Gaps and Turning Data Into Action for Better Patient Outcomes
Welcome to another episode of Care Decoded, the podcast where we break down the most pressing issues in modern healthcare. In today’s episode, host Michael Lesnik, VP of Provider Sales at Inferscience, sits down with Dr. Sunil Nihalani, CEO of Inferscience and a practicing physician, to unravel the complexities of “care gaps”, those critical yet often overlooked opportunities to improve patient care and outcomes.
Drawing on over fifteen years of experience in healthcare IT and value-based care, Michael and Dr. Nihalani dive deep into why care gaps persist, the challenges providers face in closing them, and why it’s about more than just checking a box on a metric sheet. From the realities of data accuracy and insurance hurdles to the vital importance of patient communication and trust, this episode explores the human side of healthcare quality. You'll also hear firsthand strategies for closing care gaps effectively, how technology, including AI, is changing the landscape, and why these efforts matter for both health equity and patient relationships.
Whether you’re a healthcare provider, a member of a clinical team, or simply passionate about better patient care, this conversation offers practical insights and fresh ideas to help you and your organization “decode” the intricacies of care gap closure.
