Eric Dishman
Healthcare Innovation Advocate | Transforming Patient Care Through Technology
About
Eric Dishman advocates for fundamental changes in how healthcare is delivered and experienced by patients. His work focuses on moving away from traditional, centralized healthcare models toward more collaborative and technology-enabled approaches that put patients at the center of their care.
Through his presentations at major conferences, Dishman has emphasized the need to reimagine healthcare as a collaborative effort rather than a hierarchical system. He argues for taking healthcare delivery out of outdated, mainframe-like institutional structures and creating more accessible, team-based care models.
His vision involves leveraging technology and changing organizational dynamics to make healthcare more responsive to individual patient needs while fostering better communication and coordination among healthcare providers, patients, and their support networks.

Health care should be a team sport
When Eric Dishman was in college, doctors told him he had 2 to 3 years to live. That was a long time ago. Now, Dishman puts his experience and his expertise as a medical tech specialist together to suggest a bold idea for reinventing health care -- by putting the patient at the center of a treatment team.
