𝐀𝐈 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 Here is a very practical examples how AI can 1) reduce the pressure on physicians and 2) help patients. NYU Langone Health has a communication tool build into their electronic health records through which patients can ask their physicians questions, refill prescriptions, and review test results. It's a great communication tool but physicians have recently started experiencing a more than 30 percent annual increase in the number of messages received daily. Some physicians received more than 150 messages (!!) per day.

Fantastic case study and example of how you can bring generative AI into the practice of medicine through evidence-based studies. https://lnkd.in/eWYpQjmv

I Never Knew TMA: Had AI Experts on its HIT Committee. Recognizing the potential of AI to significantly impact health care, TMA recently added the consultants, also tasked with evaluating the use and benefits of AI in patient care, among other topics. Their work is just one example of how TMA physicians lead change in medicine. https://hubs.li/Q02_9STF0

1. Researchers advocate for increased regulation of AI in healthcare to ensure equitable patient care. 2. The U.S. Office for Civil Rights introduced a rule to prevent discrimination in patient care decision support tools, including AI. 3. This regulation aligns with the Biden administration's focus on health equity and non-discrimination. 4. Nearly 1,000 AI-enabled devices have been FDA-approved, primarily for clinical decision-making support. 5. No regulatory body currently oversees clinical risk scores used by decision support tools, despite widespread usage among physicians. 6. The Jameel Clinic will hold a regulatory conference in March 2025 to discuss AI in healthcare regulation. 7. Clinical risk scores, while simpler than AI algorithms, also require oversight to ensure fairness and transparency. 8. Regulatory challenges may arise under the new administration due to a focus on deregulation and opposition to existing health policies.

Earlier this month, I had an incredible 'fireside chat' with American Medical Association's Head of digital innovation, Margaret Lozovatsky, MD, FAMIA at the premier global #physicianwellbeing conference, the International Conference of Physician Health in Nova Scotia. In the United States, nearly all hospital c-suites are developing their AI strategies, and many countries are looking to us as the innovators to follow. Key points: - AI will not replace clinicians, but over the next few years a majority of clinicians will use AI in their practice - Governance is key - we need physician thought leaders alongside our IT colleagues to bring in AI and monitor its safe use down the line - Start with the low-risk use cases where AI can draft content to curb administrative work: note documentation support (like Abridge), chart summarization and in-basket message response Most interesting to me is the role large associations like Canadian Medical Association, AMA and British Medical Association (the conference hosts) can play. As in this conference - giving physicians a foundation to understand new technologies and current uses is huge. I am eager to see how organized medicine helps build buy-in for AI, from its member clinicians to shaping policy at the highest levels
