@julia-adler-mils.bsky.social covering a framework for developing measures for AI monitoring a little earlier than planned (we had a couple of speakers who weren't able to attend). "Regulatory infrastructure may eventually catch up, but we can't wait" 1/6🧵 #CIC25 🩺💻 #MLSky

Classic talk on informatics ROI #CIC25 - organizations like to say they’re data-driven but gravity will pull them toward data-naive or data-dismissiveness. Informaticists must capture their impact on outcomes, financial benefit, efficiencies and (harder to measure) cultural impact - Dr. Joel Gordon

At #CIC25 Drs Priyanka Solanki and Jonah Feldman present the @nyulangone.bsky.social approach to involving clinicians in editing Gen AI discharge summaries, beyond error-checking it ensures the human aspects of care shine through

Some of the awesome AMIA #CIC25 crew. Fueled by coffee, some large chunks of cauliflower, and about a dozen churros. :) @vlily.bsky.social

Best thing about an AMIA conference? (Aside from catching up with my brilliant colleagues??) “Oh look, they’re having the same issues we are! We aren’t alone!” Toughest part? “Omg, they’re having the same issues we are. I was really hoping someone had solved this already…“ #CIC25

Alerts on the record telling docs they’re responsible for the documentation they’re signing feels redundant at best. Those who bother to read that statement are the ones already editing their notes. Also, AI warnings/labels are the new Prop 65; discuss. #CIC25 (p.s. Read b4 you sign!!)

Bumping this post for #CIC25. This was a general guide that I made for the Annual Symposium, but a lot of this will be relevant to people at the Clinical Informatics Conference, where I will be recruiting from to help boost our numbers here! 🩺💻

Level 3 studies - Healthbench, which was released last week as a white paper. Link to the paper here: openai.com/index/health... #MLSky 🩺💻 #CIC25

@julia-adler-mils.bsky.social: For a medical workforce and the merging of AI into workflows, we can't just "train" our way out of this challenge. She also introduces the CODEX project she is affiliated with. #CIC25 🩺💻

Some projects, current in the works, and some on the horizon from CODEX on how to empower clinicians with AI and avoid things like deskilling  #CIC25 🩺💻 #MLSky

Tis the season where I avoid all social media out of pure FOMO. Thanks so much to @colinformatics.bsky.social for making sure I stay green with envy! IYKYK. 🤦‍♀️

Awesome brief summary of what got us to this point in EMRs, let alone a discussion on Epic. Credit to @vlily.bsky.social for the find! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Purely for academic reasons, I need a list of fonts that do not differentiate between the capital letter “i” and the number one. And a list of some that gradually progress to greater differences. Again, purely for academic reasons.

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/u... I’m a tad jealous of the skills, but also just want this crew on speed-dial.

fedscoop.com/nasa-looking... Boldly going… well, where at least one EMR has gone before.

1 surprising thing I learned when I was writing my manifesto for the Comics Devices Library is that reading comics - or rather, reading images in sequence to construct and apprehend meaning - is itself a difficult and unique literacy + comprehension skill that does not come naturally to most people.

Some #BREAKING news HTI-2 Final Rule is published. Big move from Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy. Worth noting that they have spun out the Protecting Care Access information blocking exception into a separate rule, currently in review at OMB. www.healthit.gov/topic/laws-r...

So, #HTI2 just dropped. You can find my feedback on what's in the rule here: motorcycleguy.blogspot.com/2024/12/hti2...

www.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-i... I can happily attest to this. We have a great IT leadership team that advocates for our colleagues and the work we do.

🧪 Mayo Clinic integrated genetic test insights into EHRs for 100,000+ patients, identifying 2,000 with risk variants. A new genetic data repository aims to drive research and innovation. 🧬🖥️

Wow, turns out the facial recognition company that claims to be the most unbiased is actually biased. Who could have seen that coming? (I have a bill that would help end these biases by the way)

#ASTP2024 - "Piecing Together the Future of Clinical Trials Infrastructure" - Paula Braun, entrepreneur, ARPA-H: Goal of having 90% of Americans being able to participate in clinical trials within 30 min of where they live.

ACF trying to emphasize use of the tools as a tool for human decisions. People have to own the decision that an AI makes and justify it. Hallucinations look real. You have to be discerning. #ASTP2024

“‘Come talk to me about AI for an hour.’” & “AI is about getting humans back to doing human work.” - Kevin Duval, CTO, ACF #ASTP2024

Health IT heavy weights talking about how messy healthcare data seems to directly highlight some big public health challenges. If 90% of your time is spent cleaning the data in a low resource environment, that is an even bigger problem, especially across many healthcare data sources. #ASTP2024

Great comment made at our AI symposium about the 2-3 year funding cycle of the NIH & how it can't possibly be effective given how rapidly AI is changing. Side note: where are the AI RFAs???

How to move a mind – Barry Lopez on the power of metaphor over data

Generative AI is being trained on medical histories, and are biased due to that data. How do you measure bias in AI? How do I monitor based on that definition? You can't manage what you don't know, so transparency is criticial. #ASTP2024

Mildly entertained by this demonstration – particularly the simulated case review in which cases with uneventful outcomes were rated as appropriate care 100% of the time, but cases with poor outcomes were rated as appropriate only 15% of the time. Almost too human! ai.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...

Thank you to all 180 members of the ASTP, including @mickytripathi.bsky.social , who keep moving things forward to the benefit of all of us, especially our patients! #ASTP2024

Good thread on Tripathi remarks at #ASTP2024

Complementing the barriers to care continuity outlined yesterday by @gracecordovano.bsky.social, @mickytripathi.bsky.social outlines what (absolutely needs) to come next. #ASTP2024

Fellow HITAC-er, Rochelle Prosser, asking some incredible & tough questions about patient consent and access at the “Empowering Patients” panel at #ASTP2024 (She is a superb advocate; our Health IT regulatory landscape and patients benefit greatly from her service.)

While it’s grainy, I’m so glad I got @gracecordovano.bsky.social in the same frame as this slide. 96% of thousands of surveyed patients want to see their test results *immediately*. #ASTP2024

Should CMIOs be more patient facing to help patients and families understand digital tools/AI, etc.? If not, who? Grateful to Dr. Grace Cordovano at #ASTP2024 for asking who to go to.

Jordan Everson, Public Health Analyst, ASTP: ASTP breaks interop into finding, sending, receiving and integrating PHI electronically. Since 2014, the number of orgs doing all 4 went from 23% to 79% #ASTP2024

Wei Chang, Public Health Analyst, ASTP: E-prescribing has from over 20 years to nearly universal use. E-prescribing of controlled substances is rapidly increasing. This prevents Dr. Shopping or over prescribing #ASTP2024

#ASTP2024 Study @ Vanderbilt with realtime analysis of “refresh for results,” those who refresh tend to write more messages. “…may be related more to the patient than the result.” Vendors need to allow patient-preference controls. - Dr Bryan Steitz, Assistant Prof. of Biomedical Informatics at VUMC

Pretty sure we all started talking about “modernization efforts” because no one believes us that “upgrades” are actually beneficial anymore. What will we start using when people get tired of “modernizing” to systems a decade old?

Reaching out to veterans that aren't aware of their of their benefits is a primary drive for the VA. And 20-25% Veterans don't self declare when receiving care. #ASTP2024
