Lee Schwamm: Onboarding AI at the Hospital
Howie and Harlan are joined by Lee Schwamm, the Yale School of Medicine’s associate dean for digital strategy & transformation and chief digital health officer of the Yale New Haven Health System, to discuss how the system is working to rapidly evaluate and deploy AI tools without compromising patient safety and oversight. Harlan highlights vaccine studies reportedly held back from publication and argues for greater scientific transparency; Howie reports on a deadly outbreak of Andes hantavirus aboard a cruise ship. Show notes: Suppressing Science One of the studies initially blocked by the FDA, published in medRxiv. Lee Schwamm Lee Schwamm on what makes an excellent digital patient experience: An excellent digital patient experience is one that moves complexity away from the patient and makes it easy for patients to access, navigate, and coordinate care across the continuum without needing to fragment their care across multiple healthcare delivery systems. It provides seamless longitudinal continuity of identity, so patients are never asked twice for the same information and their preferences endure between sessions and across experiences. This intelligent hyper-personalization enables care journeys that meaningful, effective and seamlessly intermingle traditional and digital care. At a macro level, these experiences are delivered equitably and adjust to the patient’s level of digital engagement, engendering trust and conveying empathy. An equitable digital front door is one that opens easily for everyone, allows access to the needed services, and improves clinical care and operational efficiency rather than simply digitizing existing ineffective or byzantine processes. Lastly, excellent digital patient experiences are not just built but are maintained and curated, through continuous measurement, iteration, and alignment to the needs of patients rather than the organizational structure of the health system.
