Was a ton of fun joining @ysolad on the ReAligned Healthcare Podcast! Lots of spicy 🌶️ Health Tech takes in this one. We chat about: → Why EHR vendors should go “all-in” on AI Agents, and how Agents will make EHRs stickier (and make it harder for startups to disrupt them) → Why a feature matrix is the wrong way for health systems to pick a Health Tech partner → Why scarcity of resources allows startups to focus, and deliver more and better results with health systems → Why health systems should bring problems to be solved to discussions with startups (and less time trying to pitch specific solutions) → The risk of using AI to automate bad workflows - and why workflows/processes must first be re-designed before AI is applied → The @SeamlessMD story, how we’re using digital care journeys to help health systems improve patient outcomes, and practical ways we’re using Generative AI in our efforts … and much, much more!

10/10 Want a deeper dive? Check out the full article where we explore each of these points in more detail—and share how we can build AI solutions that earn clinicians’ trust instead of eroding it.

9/10 If implemented thoughtfully, LLMs can move from novelty to genuine clinical asset. But we have to address these limitations head-on to ensure AI truly lightens the load.

8/10 - Human-AI Collaboration: AI should empower, not replace, clinicians by streamlining verification. - Continuous Oversight: Monitoring, updates, and ongoing training are crucial for safe, effective adoption.

7/10 Moving Forward - Tailored AI: Healthcare-specific designs that reduce “prompt engineering” and improve accuracy. - Transparent Validation: Clinicians need to understand how AI arrives at its conclusions.

6/10 Workflow Hurdles LLMs excel in flexible, open-ended tasks, but healthcare requires precision, consistency, and structured data. This mismatch can lead to patchwork solutions and unpredictable performance.

5/10 Burnout Concerns AI is often touted as a remedy for burnout. Yet if it’s poorly integrated or frequently incorrect, clinicians end up verifying and correcting even more, adding mental strain instead of relieving it.

4/10 Trust Erosion Even a single AI-driven mistake—like the wrong dosage—can compromise patient safety. Errors that go unnoticed fracture clinicians’ trust and force them to re-verify every recommendation, negating AI’s efficiency.

3/10 Verification Overload LLMs might produce coherent summaries, but “coherent” doesn’t always mean correct. Manually double-checking AI-generated notes or recommendations becomes an extra task on an already packed schedule.

2/10 But early adoption reveals a more complicated reality: verifying AI outputs, dealing with errors, and struggling with workflow integration can actually increase clinicians’ cognitive load. Here are four key considerations:

1/10 Is AI Really Easing Clinician Workloads—or Adding More? Healthcare is rapidly embracing AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), hoping to reduce clinician workload.

#LLMs might be the ultimate anthropological time capsules. They capture not only knowledge but also the thinking patterns embedded in internet data—along with the biases and blind spots of their developers

(1/2) Our very first episode of #ReAlignedHealthcare is now live! In this episode we dive into the future of #healthcare #AI with Dr Brian Anderson @bandersmd , CEO of the Coalition for Healthcare AI ( #CHAI). From #clinical decision support to patient-centered AI models, Brian discusses the frameworks needed for #ResponsibleAI deployment, the evolving role of clinicians, and the critical importance of patient representation in shaping the tools of tomorrow.

(2/2) Key discussion points: -CHAI aims to create best practice frameworks for healthcare AI. -Diverse representation is crucial in AI validation and development. -Patients should be involved in AI model design from the start -AI tools must be evaluated for real-world effectiveness. -The role of clinicians will evolve with AI adoption. -Incentives in healthcare need realignment for better outcomes.

OpenAI’s new 1o preview model dropped, and it feels like we’re entering a new era of automated agents. It’s more thorough in its analysis, harder to trick, and includes chain-of-thought reasoning out of the box. Not quite GPT-5 or AGI, but do we really need AGI? Pros: • "Detailed" but hidden reasoning • Built-in chain-of-thought • Human-like problem-solving Cons: • Lack of clarity on training data • Hidden reasoning makes testing hard • Increased token spend on "reasoning" • Aggressive content filters • Progressive confusion with the context increase Expect more powerful agentic systems soon. Apps like coding in “Cursor” might get way better overnight. Models like 1o could better orchestrate tasks across specialized models #OpenAI #1o
