THE CONVERSATION

Ideas, insights & the people behind them.

Jesse chats with Nassib Chamoun, Founder and CEO of Health Data Analytics Institute, and Brenda Campbell, Senior Consultant of Health Systems Innovations at Houston Methodist Hospital. Together, they discuss how Houston Methodist is operationalizing AI within its care delivery system, why it needed to rethink how it identifies and manages high-risk patients post-discharge, how predictive models and AI-generated chart summaries actually show up in a clinician’s day-to-day workflow, how AI helps to determine patient care pathways, how positive outcomes can inform AI’s role in care optimization, and much more.

Headline

A new American Medical Association survey found that more than four in five physicians now use some form of AI in their practices, more than doubling adoption since 2023.

Resource Link

From STAT, a new analysis tied to Blue Cross Blue Shield suggests hospitals’ growing use of AI-powered coding tools may be contributing to higher healthcare costs.
