Kedar Mate keynote at #AMIA2025 shared the essence of implementation science IMHO. I often say that i began my career in industry with “here is what i want you to want”. It worked for S Jobs but not so much for me. Now I focus on “what are your needs?” And “how can i help?”

I am very excited to speak (twice!) at the Evelyn Keever Bioethics day at the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters on Friday! I'm a "begin with the bad news" person, so the first session will provide background and an honest discussion of the many risks posed by AI in healthcare.

Excited to share this capability developed by the Research Informatics and Data Science team @research.childrensmercy.org ! Place-based analysis is essential but challenging, we are developing capabilities that will simplify the process. www.childrensmercy.org/childrens-me...

I appreciated NPR's coverage of a recent paper demonstrating providers becoming dependent on AI and "deskilling" when AI was not available. There is a link to the Lancet paper in the story.

Research suggests doctors might quickly become dependent on AI
A study in Poland found that doctors appeared less likely to detect abnormalities during colonoscopies on their own after they'd grown used to help from an AI tool.
