I have never understood why organizations don't recognize & value these people. In academic medical centers, they are often informaticians.... #informatics #bioinformatics #glue

Opening keynote by Kedar Mate at #AMIA2025 He asks what is your “why” for informatics/what you do? Mine is increasing access to quality care and improving outcomes for medically underserved and under resourced communities.

A profile in courage speaks out at a very difficult time. I wish Tatiana Schlossberg all the needed strength and love in her fight ahead. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🌡️ New research shows heat exposure during pregnancy disrupts key amino acids and vitamins — the same biological changes seen in preterm births. 🔥 For pregnant people without access to cooling, heat isn’t just discomfort — it’s a molecular stressor with real consequences. #extremeheat

Really proud to be a part of the Graze community, some of the coolest projects happening on the AT protocol are happening with @graze.social

Achievement unlocked. What a thrill to have my paper featured in @ciminoj.bsky.social’s #AMIA2025 Year in Review! 😁🤓🤩 #LHS #LearningHealthSystem #LearningPublicHealthSystem #DataDrivenPolicy

What's one of the highlights from #AMIA2025, well the dance party of course!

That’s a wrap for me and #AMIA2025. Thank you to AMIA staff, SPC Chair Brian Dixon and all the co-chairs, and my informatics tribe. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from and catching up with so many of you! I missed those who couldn’t attend, and I look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

Sitting in for Advancing biomedical informatics in a polarized political landscape: Understanding and bridging divides from the Climate, Health, and Informatics WG #AMIA2025

Very impressive #AMIA2025 presentation about MedViz. Altnerative to chat interactions with AI. medviz.org

@billhersh.bsky.social is another great example…. he’s practically the king of volunteers @amia.org He has contributed immensely to the organization over the 40 years he has been participating on the conference. #amia2025

How can educators prompt curiosity in their students' prompting? Mark Weiner from Regeneron explored this meta-level educational challenge due to the era of LLMs. #AMIA2025 #AcademicSky

@insarkar.bsky.social from Brown University explored the practical integration of LLMs into informatics education, moving "From Prompt to Practice." #AMIA2025 #Academicsky #MLSky

Jessica S. Ancker from Vanderbilt Medical Center presented on collaboration and transparency in using AI. #AMIA2025 #AcademicSky

GenAI presents both opportunities and challenges for educators, @billhersh.bsky.social shares his experiences, referencing @emollick.bsky.social who has said we face a "homework apocalypse" #AMIA2025 #AcademicSky #MLSky #MedSky

@kdpsingh.bsky.social focusing on the "build before you buy" mentality. A lot of the AI tools that are most useful to clinicians aren't actually commercially available, so internal teams build tools they need, like their NoteReader which can help automate measurements. #AMIA2025 #MLSky #MedSky

Brian Patterson from UW Med School talks about the landscape for AI adoption is shifting. Pre-2025 "by the use" AI pricing prompted ROI discussions. Post-2025, tools are increasingly "bundled" into platforms as vendor releases & clinician demand grow, highlighting safety and rigor. #AMIA2025 #MedSky

Yiye Zhang from Weill Cornell Medicine talks about research on using LLMs to predict ED revisits leading to admission found a significant challenge. A model showing moderate performance at WCM showed noticeable deterioration at VUMC, highlighting generalization issues. #AMIA2025 #MedSky #MLSky

Ysair emphasized then need to educate leadership and clinicians how harmful some of the AI "bad apples" can be. He had a proud Dad moment when his 8-year old said "ChatGPT is kind of stupid". #AMIA2025

Yasir Tarabichi from MetroHealth approaches AI deployment as an implementation science discipline, emphasizing that governance and validation cannot be outsourced. They are fast-following mature tools while co-developing new, integrated EHR solutions. #AMIA2025 #MedSky #MLSky

A second lesson in AI governance (To Epic or Epic): When AI tools are inexpensive to deploy and maintain, prioritization is driven by internal resourcing needs. This often results in more leniency, allowing mild-moderately effective tools to persist. #AMIA2025 #MedSky #MLSky

A lesson in AI governance: For tools with low harm signals and high value, enterprise pilots with longitudinal monitoring can assess value and scale governance. This approach balances innovation with oversight. #AMIA2025 #MedSky #MLSky

Smitha Ganeshan shares that UCSF Health utilizes a two-tiered AI governance model. The "Health AI Steering" committee handles prioritization and resourcing, while the "Health AI Oversight" committee guides the evaluation and responsible deployment of ethical AI. #AMIA2025 #MedSky #MLSky

Hello #AMIA2025, so glad to see all 2,145 of you here in Atlanta . I wanted to give you a guide on how to make the most of the conference here on Bluesky, and hopefully convince you to continue the conversation after you head home. Here are some tips I want to share in a thread 🧵 1/10

@kdpsingh.bsky.social is moderating place of Sara Murray for the panel: Deploying Large Language Model Features in Health Systems: Lessons from the Front Lines. Sara sent her AI avatar to apologize because she had lost her voice. #AMIA2025

New analysis suggests generative AI could reduce health care costs and prevent many deaths if deployed responsibly Full story: insurancenewsnet.com/oarticle/ai-...

How are students experiencing LLM in informatics education? Hyunjoon Lee from Vanderbilt shares some insights. #AMIA2025

Kedar Mate keynote at #AMIA2025 shared the essence of implementation science IMHO. I often say that i began my career in industry with “here is what i want you to want”. It worked for S Jobs but not so much for me. Now I focus on “what are your needs?” And “how can i help?”
