On episode 486 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Matt Hollingsworth, the co-founder of Carta Healthcare, a company dedicated to creating a healthier future by advancing the technology surrounding data practices in healthcare.
In the course of their conversation, Keith and Matt discuss the rising importance of artificial intelligence in the healthcare space and how the strategic use of AI can benefit doctors, nurses, and patients in a variety of ways, including data abstraction for improving quality of care and patient outcomes. Matt also shares strategies for how nurses can position themselves for career growth and marketability when it comes to the intersection of AI, medicine, and nursing.
Matt’s passion for improving patient care developed while helping his mother, a five-time cancer survivor, navigate the U.S. healthcare system and communicate her conditions to providers.
In 2017, Matt founded Carta Healthcare, which is a leader in delivering improved data gathering solutions to healthcare systems related to a patient’s diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Carta Healthcare’s solutions have revolutionized the processes surrounding registry databases, resulting in markedly faster data collection, superior quality of data, and considerable cost savings for healthcare providers.
Matt holds an MBA from Stanford University, where he also worked in the Systems Utilization Research for Stanford Medicine (SURF Stanford Medicine) lab, researching methods for using information technology to reduce equipment waste and improve patient care. It was through his work at Stanford that he and colleagues founded Carta Healthcare. Before receiving his MBA and founding Carta Healthcare, he was a researcher at CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) and a member of the team that discovered the Higgs boson, an important discovery in particle physics. Matt received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
