NE HIMSS Clinical Informatics Series - Session 1:  AI: A Cautionary Tale

DATE:  MARCH 3, 2023 12PM TO 1:30PM

Artificial intelligence-enhanced capabilities are bringing speech recognition to the forefront, benefiting both clinicians and consumers. Conversational AI makes automated processes more human by allowing for speech translation and recognition features to be built into applications and workflows. This session will provide an overview of current and future uses of Voice AI.

Learning Objectives:

• Outline what AI platforms and technologies are out there to improve efficiency and derive value
• Define value from various perspectives: reducing physician workload, improving revenue, demonstrating better quality measures, driving physician and patient satisfaction
• Discuss transforming the mechanics of healthcare

Highlight real-world examples of organizational adjustments to tackle

Yangming Ou, PhD

• Faculty, Fetal-Neontal NeuroImaging Data Science Center (FNNDSC); Affiliate Faculty, Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP), Assistant Professor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School
• Dr. Ou holds a PhD degree in Medical Image Analysis and an MS degree in Applied Mathematics, both from the University of Pennsylvania. His BS degree was in Electrical Engineering (Biomedical Engineering Division) from Tsinghua University. His research interest lies in the intersection of big data, machine learning, data science, imaging informatics, and healthcare.
• Dr. Yangming Ou's research focuses on improving healthcare by medical image analysis, machine learning and imaging informatics.
• One pillar of Dr. Ou's lab is in developing MRI analysis and MRI machine learning algorithms. This includes algorithms for spatiotemporal MRI analysis, multi-modal MRI integration, quantification of normal brain development, detection of abnormalities, prediction of outcomes, treatment evaluation, and disease subtyping.

Dr. Budman, CMIO Nuance

Dr. Budman is a Chief Medical Information Officer with almost 40 years of clinical experience and 20 leadership years in primary care practices, hospital groups, integrated delivery networks, and multi-hospital systems deploying new workflows and EHR's.
