In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Prescription drug spending reached $370 billion in the US last year, but up to 10% of that is lost to diversion, waste and non-compliance. In this episode of the AWS Health Innovation Podcast, Kevin MacDonald, CEO & Co-Founder of Bluesight, joins Alex Merwin, Head of Growth, Healthcare & Life Sciences Startups, to discuss how Bluesight is "transforming the health system pharmacy supply chain through software" to help hospitals optimize operations and rein in drug costs. By connecting data from medication manufacturing through utilization, Bluesight provides unprecedented visibility into pharmacy supply chains, reducing waste, ensuring compliance, and detecting drug diversion.

Here are the key topics covered in this episode:

Solving the First Mile - BlueSight partners with manufacturers to tag medications at production for end-to-end tracking into hospital pharmacies.

Automating Safety - By moving from manual to automated tracking of drugs, BlueSight empowers pharmacists to focus on clinical work.

Stopping Diversion - Advanced analytics identify providers diverting drugs for intervention and help.

Creating a Risk Profile - Hundreds of factors feed into AI models that establish normal behavior to detect anomalies.

Learning from Retail - Insights from retail RFID deployments showed the value of tagging individual items beyond cases.

Finding The First Customer - Cold calls to hospital pharmacies led to the first customer willing to pilot the RFID system.

Validating The Model - Despite makeshift testing and storms, BlueSight validated its hospital deployment model with initial customers.

Fueling Growth - BlueSight raised funding from diverse sources like VCs, debt, and private equity to accelerate growth.

Delighting Customers - BlueSight won over customers by delivering on promises like radically faster audits.

Empowering Pharmacists - By providing instant audit trails, BlueSight empowered pharmacists with regulators.

Enabling Investment - Hospitals saved millions through BlueSight, enabling reinvestment into their pharmacies.
