Currently, most healthcare data is extremely lossy. When a patient talks to a doctor, the doctor then filters what they think is important and puts it in the record. That's even further filtered for things like claims, billing, etc. With ambient dictation we are moving to a world with much lower loss rates because the raw encounter data with the patient is captured. My theory is that the ambient dictation companies will be able to find disease trends way before research. Right now there's an enormous lag (decades) between docs noticing a trend among patients > research getting done to prove it > it becoming normalized in clinical practice. Ambient dictation creates a brain that lives across physicians - if one patient says that they're getting intense migraines, it's tough for a doc to know if it's from the new drug or if the patient is just stressed. But if a dictation company hears 100 patients in the same time span talk about it with their doctor, they can surface to the doctor that other people are hearing this. I think this will shorten the time between anecdotes and changes to practice considerably because it will surface trends much faster

Amazon Web Services launched HealthScribe, an ambient clinical documentation service using generative AI. It was only a matter of time before Amazon launched something like this. HealthScribe will allow seamless voice-to-text transcribing that will generate encounter summaries using key details mentioned in doctor-patient conversations. I envision a downstream feature where HealthScribe suggests evidence-based treatment plans based on the problems discussed 🤔

More data -> more information -> more informed decisions, for patients AND doctors

Some doctors hid from their patients during the early pandemic. Regardless of their individual motivation, they weren't given timely, relevant, and accurate information on what was happening. The feds have been *coordinating* health IT for almost 20 years. It's embarrassing.

Mark Cuban going full throated in defense of physicians. And he’s making a big bet to disrupt pharma. Will @mcuban be a force for change in healthcare?

I want to share what I think about MDs. I love each and everyone that busted their ass, borrowed too much money, sacrificed more than we can ever quantify, in hopes of helping their patients. Medicine is an imprecise science. The uncertainties far outnumber the absolutes.

See. There were always things they could have done to deal with hospital capacity concerns before lazily reaching for lockdowns and school closures once again. Healthcare senior management are in over their heads. We deserve creativity and innovation.

How does the #healthcare system so reliant on face-to-face interactions make the most of digital tech? That's the subject of Episode 54 with @g_y_a_n_t anchor.fm/healthcare-pod/epi…
