Grateful to be part of incredible experience to lead the ML/AI panel session at Quality Forum 2023. It was an honor to represent System Optimization | Fraser Health, and share our work in adopting ML/AI to reduce adverse outcomes for hospitalized patients. #BCHC #QF23 #ai

Thanks Jessica!!

[Jessica Kromhoff, MN, RN @JessicaKromhoff]

Great talk by @casshyr at #QF20 about using #machinelearning and #ArtificialInteligence for predicting readmissions. Using #data for #QualityCare @Fraserhealth

@DrVictoriaLeeFH Related concept from agile scrum philosophy: fail fast, learn fast!

[Casper Shyr, PhD @casshyr]

@pat_health @DrEdMBrown @DrVictoriaLeeFH great demonstration of the potential of telemedicine in MHSU. Possible adoption of care model at @Fraserhealth?

@EricTopol @oziadias @UCBerkeleySPH @UCBerkeley @m_sendhil @UChicago @sciencemagazine I would be curious to know how large this bias, if any, exist in a country like Canada where healthcare accessibility by income is a much lesser concern. Any such study available?

Reflecting on a career, no one says, “I wish I had caved in more to other people's expectations.”

Don't become a prisoner of peer pressure.

Your main regrets aren't the times you failed to follow the herd. They're the times you failed to lead with your values.

Soooo excited to see this out @LancetDigitalH - deep learning for medical image classification by doctors @Moorfields with NO coding experience using @googlecloud #DeepLearning #AutoML #OpenSource https://t.co/jV7Xy0hqXR

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

I guess #digitalhealth has finally arrived😉.
A terrific @NEJM review by @Idasim @UCSFDGIM @OpenmHealth on mobile medical devices https://t.co/NrilIL6aW9 @UCSFMedicine

@admiral_byng @benshapiro Correct, and folks like Shapiro did a wonderful job when “debating” folks like Andrew Yang. I think dialogues between left and right is necessary, especially with pundits who have proven themselves to act mature during the discussions (i refer again to how Shapiro treated Yang)

[Casper Shyr, PhD @casshyr]

@MikeAIrvine Awesome congrats Mike! Where are you moving off to next?

[Casper Shyr, PhD @casshyr]

@AndrewYang @sunrisemvmt @SierraClub @OurRevolution @MarchForScience @greenpeaceusa @algore @TheYoungTurks Include conservatives like Ben Shapiro too, so it is not an one-sided conversation with only the left.

[Casper Shyr, PhD @casshyr]

@DrVictoriaLeeFH @ConversationCA There is also possibility to improve physician-patient relationship by streamlining many of the repetitive convos with chatbots. Example https://t.co/nSg6z2ZJrv

@chrishiggins @AndrewYang Acknowledgement of the necessity of nuclear power is a big key, as many climate change advocates still operate under the delusion that we can tackle climatw change without nuclear. Its a non-practical dream.

[Casper Shyr, PhD @casshyr]

@mayapajevic @drbobbell Thats tricky because some provinces such as BC has disproportionally higher volume and percentage of seniors, leading to higher cost and greater challenges https://t.co/V3T8omVmAN

There has to be more research and collaboration to close the knowledge gap between academic publications and frontline deployment (and sustainment)

“The [#AI] 'inconvenient truth' is that at present the algorithms that feature prominently in research literature are in fact not, for the most part, executable at the frontlines of clinical practice."

@EcologyOfShane I find some of the best work that impact frontline business operations are collaborations between scientists from academia and industry. Its something we work hard building in healthcare sector.
