David Golub’s Post

Augmedix Chief Medical Officer Dr. Davin Lundquist shared his perspective with Medscape on primary care challenges like administrative burdens and overwhelming amounts of patient data. The article shares how #AI can be used by primary care physicians to reduce prep and pre-charting time, lessen the time needed for paperwork outside of clinic hours, and streamline information. AI technology like #Augmedix’s ambient #medicaldocumentation products can help primary care clinicians spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients, allowing for more personalized care.

I hate asking for favours but..… With 2 weeks of voting left for GenAI Solution Provider of the Year award 🥇 at the London AI summit, I want to call upon my colleagues, friends and loved one to help me win this! However, I wouldn’t ask you to do something that wasn’t worth it, so let me quickly explain what we did to deserve this.... In collaboration with over 50 doctors, nurses and consultants from a national healthcare organisation we developed a population scale equitable entry point into their health system. The virtual Al clinician has now been proven as a single, scalable solution with built in clinical governance, capable of diagnosing 918 common medical concerns scaled to an entire population. Significant outcomes to date include: 💬 25,000 patient conversations handled during clinical evaluation phases 🩺 918 individual conditions capable of being triaged 🩻 Many clinical pathways covered, including neurology and dermatology 📚 15,000 pages of peer-reviewed medical literature ingested to inform diagnoses 🎯 98% accuracy in Al-powered diagnoses Ready for adoption as part of a suite of telemedicine and digital healthcare services, the clinician is capable of serving as an always-on, always-available, first line of medical support with particular value for rural communities and minority language speakers as well as relieving pressure on valuable, yet overloaded, non-emergency call centers. So please VOTE NOW, many thanks! https://lnkd.in/e7zacbQs

I just voted for David, the solution he and his team has built is revolutionary and absolutely deserves a vote! If this type of solution is interesting to your business let me know and we will reach out to discuss how this can help you and your patients! #genai #future #medicine #aidoctor

My 6 takeaways from the big AI Medical Scribe news that Ochsner Health is deploying DeepScribe across the 46-hospital system: 𝟭. 𝗢𝗰𝗵𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗽 A key differentiator was DeepScribe’s customization studios - which enabled flexibility for physicians to have 50+ different ways to personalize their notes. Yes health systems want to standardize their technology approaches… but there needs to be reasonable customizability for clinicians. That’s been my experience as well with digital care journeys at SeamlessMD. 𝟮. 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝘁 𝟳𝟴% Contrast that with the Kaiser Permanente publication that showed clinician adoption plateauing at 34% after 10 weeks (although hard to say what adoption is now). 𝟯. 𝟱𝟬 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 Mostly primary care providers, but 8 other specialties were included in the pilot (e.g. oncology, nephrology, palliative, etc.). This is key as what you don’t want to do as a health system is find success in just primary care, invest in an enterprise-wide rollout, and recognize it didn’t work for every other specialty. 𝟰. 𝗢𝗰𝗵𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗱, 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 → 78% clinician adoption → 75% reduction in documentation time → 96% of patients whose provider used DeepScribe were likely to recommend the provider - and increase from 89% for providers not using the tech Future metrics to be explored include retention and physician joy 𝟱. 𝗢𝗰𝗵𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 Initially expanding to orthopedics, and then eventually the rest. At scale the tech will reach 4,700 physicians across 46 hospitals and 370 health and urgent care centers! 𝟲. 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 - 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟴𝟬% 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 According to Chief Innovation Officer Dr. Jason Hill that adoption will be based on demonstrating more and more value to providers, and value will differ based on specialty. For example, for primary care that might be improved well-being whereas some procedural specialties may see value in getting to spend more time in the operating room.

Independent report finds Metadvice is an effective tool for reducing clinician workload having identified potential workforce efficiency savings of over £60,000 annually if used in all CVD-related appointments in a medium-sized Primary Care Practice. The report, commissioned by Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex and co-produced by Unity Insights, Metadvice, GP partners, and key stakeholders in the Sussex ICS system, evaluated the application of the Metadvice artificial intelligence (AI) precision clinical guidance tool within the Ball Tree Surgery in Lancing and Sompting PCN.  Metadvice CEO, Andrew Rut, commented “This project underscores the significant impact that advanced technology can have on the healthcare system. Our AI-powered clinical guidance solution has demonstrated tangible results, supported by both qualitative and quantitative data. By stratifying patients by risk and optimising therapy at the point of care, we have effectively reduced workloads and improved clinical practice. The positive feedback from Ball Tree Surgery is encouraging, and we are excited about the potential of this solution to bring economic benefits and enhance patient outcomes across primary care.” Dr. Shona Schofield, GP Partner and PCN Clinical Director at Ball Tree Surgery commented "Metadvice makes it easier to manage the workload and means patients can see the right person to help them… allowing the team to spend more time with the patient and understand what’s most important to them."

Implementing a closed loop clinical decision support system for sustainable preoperative care - npj Digital Medicine Implementing a closed-loop clinical decision support system (CDSS) can revolutionize preoperative care by minimizing unnecessary testing, enhancing patient safety, and reducing costs. A recent study across two teaching hospitals in Madrid demonstrated that integrating a fully EHR-connected CDSS led to a significant decrease in preoperative testing rates. This innovative approach not only streamlines workflows but also ensures that clinical decisions are data-driven and patient-centered. As healthcare IT professionals, we must champion such systems for sustainable improvements in patient outcomes. #HealthcareIT #ClinicalDecisionSupport #EHR #PatientSafety #SurgicalCare #HealthInnovation #DataDrivenCare ai.mediformatica.com #clinical #testing #surgical #digital #spain #decisionsupport #healthcare #risk #clinicaldecision #clinicaldecisionsupport #implementation #analysis #digitalhealth #healthit #healthtech #healthcaretechnology @MediFormatica (https://buff.ly/3W78Tux)
