Philips.

10
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:30,869
This is Gracelyn Keller with the Becker's Healthcare

11
00:00:30,869 --> 00:00:32,710
Podcast, and we are live at the 9th

12
00:00:32,710 --> 00:00:36,170
annual health IT digital health and RCM conference.

13
00:00:36,629 --> 00:00:38,969
I am joined right now by Jay Pulizzi

14
00:00:39,109 --> 00:00:40,695
who is a physician with

15
00:00:41,174 --> 00:00:41,674
Modiphacare.

16
00:00:42,215 --> 00:00:44,375
We talked about that before our recording. It's

17
00:00:44,375 --> 00:00:46,375
an Italian word, and so I'm gonna leave

18
00:00:46,375 --> 00:00:47,895
it to him to explain a little bit

19
00:00:47,895 --> 00:00:50,454
more about what that is and his current

20
00:00:50,454 --> 00:00:50,954
work.

21
00:00:51,414 --> 00:00:52,234
Yeah. Great.

22
00:00:52,969 --> 00:00:54,809
Good morning. Great to be here. Thanks for

23
00:00:54,809 --> 00:00:56,809
having me. Yeah. Like you said, my name

24
00:00:56,809 --> 00:00:59,689
is Jay Pulizzi. I'm a family physician. 23

25
00:00:59,689 --> 00:01:02,170
years doing that, and then about 15 years

26
00:01:02,170 --> 00:01:03,309
doing clinical informatics.

27
00:01:04,090 --> 00:01:07,284
I started a consulting company called Modificare,

28
00:01:07,744 --> 00:01:10,165
which is actually an Italian word for change.

29
00:01:10,465 --> 00:01:11,984
And when you look at the word on

30
00:01:11,984 --> 00:01:12,484
paper,

31
00:01:13,984 --> 00:01:17,185
it looks like modified care, which is sort

32
00:01:17,185 --> 00:01:19,319
of what I'm doing with the second chapter

33
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,379
of my career. Very interested in how we

34
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,319
improve and change the health care system for

35
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:25,979
the better,

36
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:27,500
using technology.

37
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,979
I'm working currently with several,

38
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,659
health care organizations

39
00:01:32,655 --> 00:01:36,674
and, health care vendors, actually, and how they

40
00:01:36,814 --> 00:01:37,314
apply,

41
00:01:38,174 --> 00:01:38,674
adopt,

42
00:01:39,295 --> 00:01:39,795
and

43
00:01:40,174 --> 00:01:41,395
use technology

44
00:01:41,775 --> 00:01:43,555
to better take care of patients.

45
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:46,689
Well, speaking of technology adoption,

46
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:49,790
AI adoption is exploding in health care. So

47
00:01:49,790 --> 00:01:51,890
in your view, what is the most significant

48
00:01:51,950 --> 00:01:54,829
or promising application of AI right now? And

49
00:01:54,829 --> 00:01:55,890
how is that informing

50
00:01:56,189 --> 00:01:57,489
your innovation strategy?

51
00:01:57,870 --> 00:01:59,790
Yeah. So many ways I think AI is

52
00:01:59,790 --> 00:02:02,064
being applied. I mean, you walk around the

53
00:02:02,064 --> 00:02:04,965
show floor here, and every vendor has something

54
00:02:05,584 --> 00:02:06,805
to do with AI.

55
00:02:07,424 --> 00:02:10,544
I think, for me, most most recently has

56
00:02:10,544 --> 00:02:12,084
been still in this

57
00:02:12,544 --> 00:02:13,044
documentation

58
00:02:13,504 --> 00:02:15,364
space. So the ambient,

59
00:02:16,689 --> 00:02:17,189
AutoScribe,

60
00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:18,790
functionalities.

61
00:02:19,969 --> 00:02:20,710
I've used,

62
00:02:21,409 --> 00:02:23,750
several of these systems most recently.

63
00:02:24,449 --> 00:02:26,790
One of the vendors here at Nabla,

64
00:02:27,330 --> 00:02:29,669
I'm very familiar with the work they're doing.

65
00:02:30,004 --> 00:02:32,425
I think there is such a large

66
00:02:33,205 --> 00:02:35,465
issue with clinician burnout,

67
00:02:35,764 --> 00:02:36,905
and this

68
00:02:37,205 --> 00:02:39,384
seems to be one of the very promising,

69
00:02:40,164 --> 00:02:42,485
you know, tools and ways we can adopt

70
00:02:42,485 --> 00:02:42,965
AI,

71
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:45,719
to help mitigate that to some extent.

72
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:48,040
The other thing I'm really excited about

73
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:51,319
is how we use AI just to manage

74
00:02:51,939 --> 00:02:52,840
and surface

75
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:54,200
information

76
00:02:54,980 --> 00:02:57,219
that is needed by the clinician at the

77
00:02:57,219 --> 00:02:58,280
right time

78
00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:00,555
to, you know, better take care of a

79
00:03:00,555 --> 00:03:03,215
patient. Data has become such an immense,

80
00:03:03,754 --> 00:03:05,455
I won't say problem, but

81
00:03:05,834 --> 00:03:07,294
it is very challenging

82
00:03:07,594 --> 00:03:08,094
to

83
00:03:08,634 --> 00:03:10,634
to go through all the information that might

84
00:03:10,634 --> 00:03:12,414
be in in a patient's chart

85
00:03:12,810 --> 00:03:15,129
and data that's not necessarily in a chart,

86
00:03:15,129 --> 00:03:16,349
but in other systems

87
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:19,290
and aggregate that and present it in a

88
00:03:19,290 --> 00:03:21,469
in a meaningful and useful way.

89
00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:25,210
And speaking of AI and data and everything

90
00:03:25,210 --> 00:03:26,969
else, I'm sure you're learning a lot here

91
00:03:26,969 --> 00:03:28,444
at the conference. So I'd love you to

92
00:03:28,444 --> 00:03:30,525
expand on maybe some sessions or some information

93
00:03:30,525 --> 00:03:32,705
that you've learned so far at this conference

94
00:03:32,764 --> 00:03:34,865
that has been helpful and applicable to you.

95
00:03:34,925 --> 00:03:37,104
Yeah. For me, I just came from,

96
00:03:37,405 --> 00:03:38,064
a CMIO

97
00:03:38,444 --> 00:03:41,104
session talking about the future of

98
00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:44,139
that role. You know, I have been in

99
00:03:44,139 --> 00:03:47,360
several chief medical and chief health information officer

100
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:50,139
roles over the last several years, and even

101
00:03:50,139 --> 00:03:51,040
as I was

102
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:53,680
in those roles, it was evolving.

103
00:03:54,139 --> 00:03:55,040
So I think

104
00:03:56,045 --> 00:03:58,385
several things are are starting to shift.

105
00:03:58,764 --> 00:04:00,064
You're starting to see,

106
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:03,264
the CMIO role or the informatics role

107
00:04:04,045 --> 00:04:06,944
become a part of a health care organization's

108
00:04:07,564 --> 00:04:08,784
leadership team,

109
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:11,120
and I think more often having a seat

110
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,019
at the table,

111
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:13,780
as they're discussing

112
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:15,939
bigger issues with strategy,

113
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,540
patient engagement,

114
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,779
and and their clinicians.

115
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,819
It's also shifting from

116
00:04:23,535 --> 00:04:25,795
not just dealing with the EHR anymore.

117
00:04:26,415 --> 00:04:28,275
That's still a big fundamental

118
00:04:29,215 --> 00:04:30,595
component of the work,

119
00:04:30,975 --> 00:04:33,314
but starting to look at in the innovation

120
00:04:33,535 --> 00:04:35,875
space. So things like AI,

121
00:04:36,574 --> 00:04:38,435
but also just how do you

122
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:39,720
more efficiently

123
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:40,839
and effectively

124
00:04:41,379 --> 00:04:42,920
take care of of patients,

125
00:04:43,699 --> 00:04:45,399
improve the patient experience,

126
00:04:46,259 --> 00:04:48,839
help things like improve things like access.

127
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:51,939
Access is such a tremendous problem in health

128
00:04:51,939 --> 00:04:52,680
care today.

129
00:04:52,995 --> 00:04:54,675
So how do you apply some of these,

130
00:04:55,074 --> 00:04:55,574
technologies

131
00:04:56,194 --> 00:04:57,814
in a digital health strategy

132
00:05:00,435 --> 00:05:01,735
to improve access,

133
00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:03,975
improve the quality of care,

134
00:05:04,595 --> 00:05:06,535
and get patients more engaged

135
00:05:07,860 --> 00:05:09,560
with with their health care.

136
00:05:10,580 --> 00:05:12,660
And what is your top piece of advice

137
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:15,139
for health care leaders as they prepare for

138
00:05:15,139 --> 00:05:17,939
further advancements in technology and greater demands for

139
00:05:17,939 --> 00:05:21,000
care? Yeah. I think, you know, including clinicians,

140
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:22,120
having

141
00:05:22,485 --> 00:05:24,245
clinicians have a seat at the table is

142
00:05:24,245 --> 00:05:26,805
is is always helpful. I think, you know,

143
00:05:26,805 --> 00:05:28,745
so many times I've seen organizations,

144
00:05:30,404 --> 00:05:32,564
come up with a digital health or a

145
00:05:32,564 --> 00:05:33,064
technology

146
00:05:33,604 --> 00:05:34,104
strategy

147
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,939
and not include,

148
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,060
the stakeholders and the folks that are actually

149
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:41,839
going to be interacting with patients and using

150
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,500
the technology.

151
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,879
So I think that's a key piece of

152
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:45,379
advice.

153
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,759
Wonderful. Well, Jay, thank you so much for

154
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:50,019
joining me today on the Becker's Healthcare Podcast.

155
00:05:50,059 --> 00:05:52,139
Again, we're live at the 9th annual health

156
00:05:52,139 --> 00:05:55,179
IT digital health and RCM conference. No. Thank

157
00:05:55,179 --> 00:05:55,679
you.
