The reel opens on a title card. Chris is picked up mid-thought.
“… the field of dreams approach. That doesn’t mean you can’t come up with some cool solutions. But I think the sequencing of how you determine where you’re going to invest your time and energy is increasingly something you have to pay attention to.
In our case, our patients, they want good health outcomes. And so we can do the things that we think are going to be cool and deliver solutions that we think we want.
Yeah, I think that’s the secret sauce — is even in healthcare, it’s really about the consumer experience. Whether you’re a patient or you’re a customer of a tech company, you have expectations. And if we’re not paying attention to those, we’re probably not going to have a lot of success. So we really need to make sure that we’re listening.
And for people that are doing data analytics, it’s probably going to be a challenge for you to really figure out how to navigate this and how to make sure that you’re getting the measurable results.
But clinicians will not use tools that they don’t trust. AI is going to have to be transparent and intentionally designed to support clinical judgment, not to override it.
The AI gives you the ability to have perfect recall for certain things. I’ve had a number of publications and things that I’ve written over the years that I was able to put into a model and start to work with it myself.
Somebody has to be responsible for finding the way to say yes. What can we say yes to? Our legal and compliance professionals, our IT folks, our information security leaders, they’re extraordinary. But I’ve got to find those ways where we can engage with our frontline people who are running operations, whether it’s logistics or if it’s clinical. I need to help find those areas where we can say yes.”
The reel closes on three cards: “AI will never have humanity. I educate leaders on proper AI implementation, so they can restore trust, culture, and performance.” — “Leadership goes beyond the title. Read Beneath the Signal today.” — chrisjhutchins.com
