In this edition of This Week in Business History, Kelly Barner takes listeners back to visit an era and a place mythologized by one of the most popular Christmas stories of all time: A Christmas Carol. The story, which was written by Charles Dickens and published in 1843, addresses a number of economic and social issues that not only marked the impact of the Industrial Revolution and emerging middle class, but how poverty was viewed and treated by society at the time.

How Data Readiness Drives Better Patient Outcomes

Healthcare supply chain technology is evolving rapidly, but systemic data fragmentation and operational inefficiencies are moving even faster. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Scott DeGroot are joined by Mark Holmes of InterSystems and Michael LaRocca of Ready Computing to discuss the shift from legacy networks to proactive, AI-driven decision intelligence. The panel explores the severe consequences of a 10% global surgery cancellation rate due to supply failures, noting that a single canceled orthopedic procedure can cost up to $250,000, while the human toll can be tragic. They address how a lack of visibility leads to duplicate data entry and supply hoarding, outlining a blueprint for a smart data fabric. By leveraging real-time telemetry and agentic AI, healthcare organizations can automate inventory replenishment and resolve disruptions before they impact care. Scott DeGroot concludes by challenging healthcare leaders to audit their tech stacks and bridge the gap between clinical and supply chain data.   This episode is hosted by Scott W. Luton and Scott DeGroot.
