In this episode, host Sandy Vance sits down with Dr. Will Morris, Chief Medical Officer at Ambience Healthcare, to explore how AI is transforming the healthcare industry. From enhancing clinical documentation to improving patient care and supporting back-office operations, Ambience is creating intelligent solutions tailored for the entire healthcare ecosystem.Dr. Morris shares insights on how AI, when used as an assistive—not replacement—tool, can help alleviate clinician burnout and empower medical professionals to focus on what matters most: delivering compassionate, human-centered care. Whether you're a healthcare leader, clinician, or innovator, this episode offers practical insights into leveraging AI to drive real value across your organization.In this episode, they talk about:● AI should assist—not replace—medical professionals, enabling them to focus on essential human-centered care.● AI is not a commodity; it must address critical pain points to drive real value.● Ambient AI must work for all specialties, not just primary care. AI models must be tuned to the nuances of each specialty.● Reducing burnout is just the start. When coding-aware, Ambient AI greatly improves clinical documentation integrity and provides coding support at the point-of-care, capturing other lost revenue.● Always measure results, outputs, and processes when implementing new healthcare technologies.● The effectiveness of any system depends on the quality and consistency of clinical documentation.● Successful AI adoption requires a unified, enterprise-wide strategy.A Little About Will:Will Morris, MD, MBA, is board-certified in Internal Medicine and is a health technology leader, currently serving as Chief Medical Officer at Ambience Healthcare. In this role, he drives the company's vision for clinical AI, collaborating with leading health systems to transform clinician workflows and improve patient care.

Technological advances are nothing new for caregivers, who have been saturated with new tools to "help" them for decades. But are those tools actually helping? And what can the latest innovations do to alleviate the burden caregivers face on a day-to-day basis?Dr. Heather Schmidt, System Medical Director, Healthy Work and Wellness at SSM Health, and Dr. Ann Cappellari, Chief Medical Information Officer and System Vice President at SSM Health, join the show to discuss their findings on how artificial intelligence can assist caregivers in their well-being. They discuss how technology has often added to the administrative burden caregivers face, offer insight into tools that  help caregivers connect with their patients, and share how AI can help with the workforce shortages that American health care faces.  

Kan kunstmatige intelligentie het werk van artsen écht verlichten? De zorgstart-up Delphyr denkt van wel en ontwikkelde een Nederlandse chatbot zoals ChatGPT die gespecialiseerd is op medische gegevens. Volgens Delphyr maakt hun oplossing het werken met data in het Elektronisch Patiëntendossier een stuk gemakkelijker. In deze aflevering van BNR Beter spreekt Nina van den Dungen met Michel Abdel Malek, arts én CEO van Delphyr, over dat nieuwe taalmodel 'M1'. Het taalmodel werd speciaal getraind op Nederlandse data en specifiek gericht op medische toepassingen. Ook te gast is intensivist Diederik Gommers (Erasmus MC), die uitlegt waarom AI volgens hem cruciaal is voor de toekomst van de zorg. Gommers wordt erg enthousiast van de oplossing die de AI-tool van Delphyr biedt: 'Ik geloof er heilig in dat dit soort modellen ongelooflijk behulpzaam kunnen zijn voor de artsen aan het bed en ook de verpleegkundigen.' Het gesprek gaat over concrete toepassingen van het taalmodel M1, zoals het verlagen van administratielast en het verbeteren van werkplezier. Ook komt het ethisch en praktisch kader aan bod: hoe borg je privacy, en wie is verantwoordelijk bij medische AI-beslissingen? Redacteur Stijn Goossens sprak voor de uitzending met Azam Nurmohamed, Chief Medical Information Officer van het Amsterdam UMC. Hij is verantwoordelijk voor de implementatie en het beheer van nieuwe technologische tools zoals met AI in het ziekenhuis. Nurmohamed legt uit waarom niet zomaar elke nieuwe AI-tool gebruikt en getest kan worden in het ziekenhuis en waarom het belangrijk is om goed te testen of een nieuwe AI-functie ook echt voor tijdswinst zorgt. Volgens Delphyr-oprichter Abdel Malek zijn er nog veel nieuwe functies die ontwikkeld worden voor de medische chatbot. Bovendien wordt er al gewerkt aan een tweede en derde generatie van het taalmodel, die sneller, slimmer en krachtiger moet worden. Abdel Malek hoopt daarmee zelfs een pratende AI-assistent voor de arts te kunnen maken. Daarnaast kondigt Abdel Malek in de uitzending een nieuwe samenwerking aan met een Nederlandse zorginstelling.

After Italy surrendered to the invading Frenchin 1495, this new disease rapidly spread across Europe. The name"syphilis" comes from the work of Girolamo Fracastoro, a noted poetand physician in Verona, Italy. In 1530, he wrote about a shepherd namedSyphilus who angered Apollo, causing the god to curse the entire populationwith the affliction that we now know as syphilisT. pallidumSyphilis is a systemic, bacterial infection caused byTreponema pallidum. Treponema are thin,Gram-negative, slowly metabolizing spirochetal bacterium, requiring an averageof 30 hours to multiply. It is microaerophilic and cannot grow on standardculture media. Treponema pallidum's outer membrane lacks lipopolysaccharidesand has few surface-exposed unique proteins, making it difficult for the immunesystem to fight the infection. Because of this characteristic, Tpallidum is labeled as a stealth pathogen. T. pallidum is theonly Treponema species that causes sexually transmitted disease.Syphilis is characterized by a wide range of variableclinical symptoms that can resemble other diseases, which make it difficult todiagnose without a test, therefore, it is often referred to as “The GreatImitator”. The infection progresses through multiple stages (primary,secondary, latent, and tertiary) and can affect virtually every organ system inthe body, even many years or even decades after the original infection.Infected people are contagious during the primary and secondary stages ofsyphilis.Stages of syphilisPrimary syphilis: Primary syphilis classicallypresents as a single painless ulcer or chancre at the site of infection but canalso present with multiple, atypical, or painful lesions.

Everything she does is rooted in her deep belief in accompaniment; that her role is to walk alongside her patients and community offering empathy, dignity and respect. We discuss:Her work as a rural doctor with the Indian Health Service Deploying to West Africa in 2014 for the Ebola crisisWhy the VA and DOD could not agree on electronic health recordsHer commitment to make Pima county one of the healthiest in the nationTerry reminds us that sometimes we need to step back and look at the work we do through a new lens:“My husband's an artist, and he challenges me all the time to look at something and look at the light. Look at the composition. Look at where it is. What's the pattern there? You know, and a lot of medicine is based on pattern, but think of a disruptive pattern. Think of a puzzle where the piece doesn't fit and what do you need to do to make that piece fit? Because if it falls into place, maybe the whole thing will heal.”Relevant LinksDefinition of pugilistResolve to save lives - 717 allianceHealthy Pima Indicators About Our GuestTheresa Cullen is currently the Public Health Director of Pima County, Arizona.
