Field notes from @hfmaorg / @Barclays Hospital Conference and The Leadership Institute Roundtable:
Health systems are now among the fastest AI adopters in healthcare. Most are well into "Phase I", having implemented at least some core forms of admin automation, autonomous patient engagement, and clinical decision support.
The interesting conversations were about what comes next:
📝 The premise of our Infinite Healthcare thesis: AI Care can flip our industry's paradigm from "higher utilization is bad" to "higher utilization can be good" because we can deliver it at deflationary prices and preempt deteriorations in health. For health systems, this means being able to serve existing patients 10x better, while also serving entirely new customer bases with new services. The most forward-leaning health systems are doing both.
📝 A concrete example from @munjalshah and Dr. Shoeb Sitafalwalla: @hippocraticai's "infinite-pilots" (vs co-pilots or auto-pilots) enabled @advocatehealth to do things human labor alone never could - like calling every patient lost to follow-up, not just the sickest 10%. When a patient calls to reschedule, the AI also clears any other open tasks for the patient while they're on the line. Clinical and non-clinical issues can be handled through their single platform - something traditional call centers, segmented by use case, were never able to manage.
📝 A parallel I discussed with Jennifer Mitzner of @bswhealth: the principles that help a provider succeed in value-based payment look a lot like those of best-in-class AI-native consumer businesses - personalized experiences, proactive engagement, predictive recommendations, profitable membership-based subscription models. Could the highly engaging nature of AI products enable a new performance standard in VBC?
📝 And with Michael Sanky of @databricks: incumbents have a competitive advantage in the age of AI with their proprietary data assets. But they also have the burden of significant workforce and change management implications of going AI-native. The jobs of doctors and nurses will be unbundled and repackaged, just like the "scopes of practice" of PMs, designers, and engineers are evolving in the tech world. The leverage they can get with AI will expand the surface area of care they can deliver, not reduce it.
At the current pace, AI will likely be able to practice basic urgent and primary care autonomously very soon - if not already. So it's no longer a question of whether the tech can get there - it's whether regulation can be clarified (federally and across 50 states), whether unions get comfortable, whether organizations can be agile enough to integrate it holistically, and whether AI-forward payment models can scale and show profit, that stands between us and Infinite Healthcare at scale.
Jensen is one the smartest and most far seeing folks the world.
"If an AI scientist warns people that AI is going to permeate across radiology and radiologists are going to get wiped out, it might seem helpful but it's hurtful. If we convince everybody not to be radiologists and we now need radiologists, that actually is hurtful to society.
"It is hurtful to convince all the young college graduates not to study software engineering because we are going to need more software engineers than ever.
That's hurtful."
"Scaring people with nonsensical things, which are not going to happen, that this is an existential threat, there's a 20% chance that is is existential, that's ridiculous.
"That it's going to wipe out 50% of college level jobs.
"That is it going to completely destroy democracy.
"These kinds of comments are not helpful. They are made by...CEOS. And you become a CEO, maybe you adopt a God complex and somehow you know everything."
Brutal.
And right.

🇫🇷 🇱🇧 Entretien chaleureux avec l’Ambassadeur @RabihElChaer sur la tragédie que traverse notre pays frère le Liban, prisonnier de la milice Hezbollah, le bras armé de l’Iran.
La France peut être à l’initiative d’une coalition pour donner aux forces libanaises les moyens de désarmer définitivement cette milice qui tient le pays en otage, conformément aux résolutions de l’ONU, dans le respect de la souveraineté du Liban.
Une fenêtre historique s’ouvre sous nos yeux : il faut que la France et ses partenaires aient l’audace de la saisir !
#SaintGermainEnLaye voit la vie en rose pour s'unir face au cancer du sein !

Odd request but hoping this thing is still on…
I need more people in my network that I can directly *text* about newsletter-related questions, who are happy to provide a quick two cents. That don’t need to run it by a team; have clear opinion…
Is that you?
