Announcements, Insights, and Perspectives from the Oracle Health Conference
One of the nice things about living in Las Vegas is that almost all the health IT conferences come to Las Vegas. Sadly, that wasn’t actually true for the Cerner user conference which was held in Kansas City. However, now that Oracle bought Cerner, the Oracle Health conference is now co-located with Oracle World and is being held in Las Vegas.
Of course, there are also downsides to conferences being in Las Vegas where family considerations pull me away from the event. For example, I missed Larry Ellison’s keynote, but Kristian Feterik did a nice job capturing at least part of Ellison’s vision for Ora...

Ensuring Fairness in Medical Education Assessment
This study takes a first step in centering the margins as we as medical educators grow our understanding of the dynamics of promoting fairness in assessment. Future studies should explore feedback with intentional inclusion and involvement of diverse students, teachers, and researchers at every stage of the research process from conceptualization through dissemination and application of the new learning. We thank our participants for their time and candor discussing this sensitive topic and the Group on Educational Affairs for funding our work. Thank you for your time and attention and the focus that you’ll put on th...

All Too Short Comments on the 10th Aging Research and Drug Discovery (ARDD) Meeting
I attended the 10th Aging Research and Drug Discovery (ARDD) conference in Copenhagen recently, alongside my Chief Scientific Officer at Repair Biotechnologies, Mourad Topors. If one wanted to take in all of the presentations and take notes, as I've done in the past, ARDD would be much more of a test of endurance than other longevity industry conferences. It is five 12 hour days, starting with networking at 8am, the last presentations going on past 8pm, and then socializing at nearby bars afterwards for the truly dedicated. This on top of jet lag for those coming in from the US in direction and Asia in the other. The inten...

Vital Makes Health Information More Accessible for Patients
Vital illustrates how the new wave of generative AI technologies can contribute to a better life for millions of people. Vital is using AI to take inscrutable test results and doctors’ notes, full of abbreviations and jargon, and produce meaningful explanations for patients in common English.
What about errors? According to Aaron Patzer, CEO, Vital’s doctor-to-patient medical note translator is more accurate on average than the summaries produced by doctors themselves. Plus, with Patzer’s background as Founder of Mint.com, he’s obsessed with making the user interface great for those that use Vita...

Misunderstandings about opioid use disorder
At a recent scientific conference on narcotics, a researcher mused, “Honestly, opioids make me feel gross. I don’t see how anyone could get addicted.” This is a little like a doctor in the delivery end of a needle saying, “Honestly, you’re a wimp. This doesn’t hurt.” Both examples reveal a lack of empathy and a

HFMA Edition: How Are You Incorporating AI and Technology like ChatGPT Into Your Organization or Product?
The overarching goal of incorporating AI into the world of healthcare has always been to make the lives of our practitioners and patients easier. Sometimes this can mean using chatbots so patients can have an immediate response to their questions. Sometimes this can mean letting an AI run through the mundane repetitive tasks of the practitioners, freeing up their schedules for what really matters. There are just so many areas of healthcare that the possibilities of how and where you integrate new technology like AI and ChatGPT into your organization are endless. To prove this point we reached out to three different organiz...

Dr. Temi, The Autonomous Robot Will See You Now
It seems we’re just at the start of robots in healthcare. We see them moving around supplies. We see robots working in the pharmacy. Plus, we have a long list of robots doing virtual tasks. When I came across the Dr. Temi robot, it was the first application of an autonomous robot to assist nurses and doctors that I’d seen.
At the HIMSS annual conference, we sat down with Yaron Yoels, CMO at Temi Robot, to learn more about Dr. Temi, an autonomous robot for patient care. What’s cool about this robot is that it doesn’t need a nurse to get to the bedside. The robot can go to the room request...
