After high school, Tom worked to put himself through college and then medical school, and now he works as an interventional radiologist at Dartmouth Health.

Artificial intelligence continues to impact industries, including pharmacy and 340B. As hospitals and health systems consider adopting AI, we spoke with Kristin Chupka, the 340B program system director for Dartmouth Health, who shares her experience launching this initiative there and considerations for entities seeking to do the same.  AI, automation, and how they can support 340BChupka distinguishes that AI is like a machine learning and making decisions depending on what it is taught. Automation, although similar to AI, does not make decisions. Both can systematize processes and with the help of guardrails, enable pharmacists to dedicate more time to patient care. Opportunities and considerations The novelty of AI promises an opportunity for 340B teams that can consider and correct its potential pitfalls. Chupka explains that as with any emerging technology, it is best to start slowly, teach the algorithm, and consistently check in to ensure accuracy and ethical considerations. This approach can limit errors and inspire confidence as time goes on. What entities can learn from Dartmouth Health? The Dartmouth Health team has explored how AI can help with budgeting, modeling, and auditing, always double-checking work to avoid errors. Because a fully staffed team is required for this, Chupka reassures that AI has not affected staffing. If anything, Chupka says AI is a tool to assist in compliance. Check out all of our episodes on the 340B Insight podcast website.

Healthcare professionals across the United States, including at Dartmouth Health, experience incidents of bias regarding personal characteristics including race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. At times these comments may be well-meaning or not recognized as potentially hurtful or demeaning, but at other times they may be outright discriminatory. Addressing macroaggressions in healthcare requires a commitment to cultural humility, anti-racism, and anti-discrimination, as well as policies and practices that promote health equity and inclusivity for all. Dr. Kelly Kieffer, a general internist at DHMC and Vice-Chair for Education in the Department of Medicine, joins us today to talk about how to recognize and respond to bias.
