In this episode I talk with Jack Stock, Senior IT BRM at Cleveland Clinic, about changes he's seen in the field over his career. Jack also shares some sage advice for BRM programs looking to mature. 

What's Your Advice for BRMs? With Jack Stock

In this episode, I talk about Hacking Healthcare, a recent read by Tom Lawry. We're going to digest his thoughts on AI-driven leadership in healthcare, thinking about "value" and "shareholders" a little differently, and encourage a tolerance for learning systems. 

What Does AI Driven Leadership Look Like?

In this episode Erik Swanson and I dig in on #ai  and #analytics in health systems. Erik shares his expertise on choosing problems and good KPIs rather than being swayed by a cool solution, as well as focusing on the science of #healthcare delivery.

In this episode I interview collaborator, AI master, and book-recommender extraordinaire Jasbir Kooner. We talk about her experiences with gender bias in STEM, and I ask for her advice for all folks in STEM who want a more equal playing field.

In this episode, I cover AMA's recent report on the Future of Health, in which they summarize the current #ai landscape, and argue persuasively for the use of "augmented intelligence" rather than "artificial intelligence." They close with stats on the desire of physician stakeholders to be involved early and often in AI use case definition, evaluation, and implementation.

What Does the AMA Say About AI?

In this episode, I discuss my attempts to learn about business strategy. I use both a classic history of business strategy and a recent financial report on the healthcare sector to probe whether AI is good for hospital business.   Book: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/6214316  Report: https://www.kaufmanhall.com/sites/default/files/2024-02/KH%20-%20NHFR%20%282024-02%29_FINAL.pdf

Is AI Good For Hospital Business?

In this week's episode I talk about a recent article about trust in genAI. I started listening to a fascinating podcast with Yann LeCun about the consolidation of AI in just a few companies. For a healthcare system, there are interesting tensions between the desire to work with a Microsoft or a Google, a smaller start up, and the urge to build ai expertise in house - all while keeping patient outcomes as highest priority. It's a good one. I hope you'll take a listen.

Who Should Hospitals Partner With For AI?

In this week's episode, I review The Worlds I See by Fei-Fei Li - a delightful, creative, warm portrait of both the emergence of artificial intelligence from its intellectual winter, and Fei-Fei's own life story. I talk about creativity and science, and about using approaches from multiple disciplines to think about AI problems.

What's it Like to be an AI Pioneer?

In this week's podcast episode - I summarize thinking and learning so far on how to evaluate an ai tool in the healthcare space. I talk about using AI to do things that AI does well and humans do poorly.

How Do I Evaluate an AI Tool In Healthcare? 

In this week's Health Data Ethics podcast episode, I talk about healthcare-specific methods of evaluating LLM output - a recent paper on HumanELY, a web tool for evaluating LLM output across five separate axes, is a great lens for thinking about your ai tools. I also discuss a recent evaluation of GPT-4 Vision in which our AI friend ends up with the right answer to a medical case but can't quite tell us why.

Health tech conversations, from a healthcare IT professional. We're going to talk about medical innovation, technology, and the ethical and operational considerations for health systems. In other words: it's gonna get super nerdy, super fast!
