Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders, as well as innovative thinkers who are working to meet the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.

In this installment, I check in with Doug Beinborn, associate principal in strategic supplier partnerships with Vizient, to discuss implantable devices and the benefits of cardiac remote monitoring for patients, as well as healthcare providers.

This is a topic of special interest to Doug, and he has written about it in our magazine. In July he contributed a byline looking at how COVID-19 tipped the scales in favor of remote cardiac monitoring.

Earlier, he provided an article provided a good introduction to remote cardiac monitoring, which is a great place to start if you want to continue learning after watching the interview.

We hope you enjoy the video. Please tell us what you think, and let us know who you would like to see interviewed next:
