E153 Simplifying Care Transitions with Purpose with Lindsay Joseph, CEO of BedConnect

What does it take to redesign one of healthcare’s most broken and overlooked processes without asking clinicians to do more?

In this powerful episode of the Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show, Michael Stamatinos sits down with Lindsay Joseph, CPA and former hospital CFO turned startup founder, to unpack the human, operational, and cultural realities behind care transitions and what it takes to fix them.

Lindsay spent years on the inside, leading financial and operational turnarounds at some of the most complex health systems in America. From advising large systems at PwC to walking the halls of a Level 1 trauma center in Detroit as CFO, she’s lived the pressure, the broken handoffs, and the burnout.

Now, she’s building BedConnect, a stealth-mode health tech company rooted in a simple premise: streamline post-acute transitions without adding more work to the people already stretched thin.

You’ll discover:

* Why Detroit was more than a hometown...it was a proving ground

* How she earned trust as a CFO by rounding with charge nurses and teaching Excel shortcuts

* The difference between cutting costs and building long-term sustainability

* What scarcity vs. growth mindsets look like in real-world hospital leadership

* Why point-solution fatigue is real and how BedConnect breaks that mold

* Her surprising pivot into entrepreneurship, and the nonprofit detour that helped her get clear on her purpose

* How her team co-built the product with frontline clinicians, not in a vacuum

Lindsay brings the discipline of a CPA, the heart of a caregiver, and the lens of a seasoned operator who still picks up the phone when friends say, “My father-in-law ended up in the wrong facility. Can you help?”

This episode is about operational clarity, authentic leadership, and building with integrity.
