Making AI work for physicians

Doctors have heard promises about health technology for decades. Now artificial intelligence has to deliver something better than what health care already has. Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences and former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, explains where health systems stand with AI today. You will hear why ambient listening became the proof point physicians did not want taken away, and why bolt-on AI tools on older electronic health records could create more burden. Seema lays out the questions to ask before you trust an AI tool, including how it was trained, how it explains its recommendations, and whether a human stays in the loop. She also explains how AI could make value-based care work and which metrics show whether it is paying off. This episode is sponsored by Oracle Health. Find out more at oracle.com/health.
