Opinions are my own
Part of being an honest writer on the internet is saying so when the world hands you something that does not fit your thesis.
I believe the development of AI aligns with my theory that innovation is iterative and the result of the "strong and slow boring of hard boards" (Max Weber). However, the applications may prove revolutionary and are breaking my theory. If you are interested, read more on my new Substack...

A doctor by any other name https://t.co/ksXXQ3Sb2z
Our US healthcare system routinely puts the worst version of a good doctor in front of patients.
However, the embodiment of modern medicine is changing.
Interestingly, it is changing in ways that have already been explored.
Technology is the easy part, and it remains iterative as I have often suggested.
Patients are more ready for new models than the medical establishment is ready for change.
Here's my running list of panel ideas for the "This Sh*T is Hard Health Summit," assuming we can get this going. A lot of folks seem to want to attend!
Thoughts?

Great advocacy from the ATA including the issue of protecting the provider's home address when providing telemedicine services... CMS must get that right.
#telemedicine improved access to psychiatry services in SNFs during the pandemic. In those early days, workflows in the SNFs were challenging, however, overall use did soar, and access to care expanded. https://t.co/8MGHGXhsd7
Will be virtually impossible to sell into health systems without an Epic integration. This is an important move and gives Abridge an edge. I'm curious how long this took & how it got done behind-the-scenes.

Well said by Dr. @jkvedar with the pandemic in the rear view mirror it is still going to take us a long time to lose the Tele in #Telemedicine and other monikers as you point out.

Everyone blames the doctors for all the excess cost in the system & every time they get an insane bill. just read stuff like this to get a sense of what they deal with on the other side.
24 years ago, our @UMichMedSchool magazine ran an article bursting with optimism about the promise of #telehealth.
It took 21 years for that promise to be fulfilled here & elsewhere.
I trace the history in this new story for the same magazine: https://t.co/VyrQSD23AM
@joepine @SOCTelemed Thanks @joepine#telemedicine is going to power transformative patient experiences. I think we can see that now if it is done right.
What does the claims data on the surge in telehealth utilization broken out by diagnosis reveal? We aren't surprised. But, you may be. Learn more.

“The concerning factor in relying first on social media influencers for medical advice is that their content is sometimes not peer reviewed or fact checked” The concerning factor about King Kong is that he is a teeny bit large. That’s putting it mildly. https://t.co/l9LGIszrFg
what if we invested as much time, energy, and money into developing this virtual infrastructure as we did into the physical spaces themselves?
