We're honored to bring you a conversation with Dr. Jonathan Jaffin, an accomplished General Surgeon, a retired Colonel in the Army Medical Corps, and a Specialist Executive with Deloitte Consulting. Our dialogue circles the exciting advancements in operational medicine with an eye on austere environments, a topic that was the centerpiece of the 2023 Operational Medicine Symposium. We grapple with the shifting landscape of military operations, the emergence of near-peer competitors, and the potential for large-scale ground combat under resource constraints. Dr. Jaffin's insights into the challenges of maintaining readiness and the strains faced by individuals and caregivers are truly enlightening. Moving forward, we venture into the realm of future warfare and the preparation of surgeons for these unprecedented challenges. We explore the role of telemedicine and the promising Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) project, a venture that Dr. Jaffin is no stranger to. His reflections on the KSA project provide a valuable insider's perspective into how training can be tailored to address specific knowledge and skill gaps. We delve into the crucial role of commanders in deployment readiness and the decisive impact of military medicine on these decisions. Dr. Jaffin also opens up about his military career, the unique relationships it has fostered, and the rewarding sense of contribution it offers. This episode provides a riveting glimpse into the evolving landscape of military medicine. Chapters: (00:00) Advancing Operational Medicine for Austere Environments (05:47) Preparing Surgeons for Future Warfare (15:45) Advantages of a Military Career Chapter Summaries: (00:00) Advancing Operational Medicine for Austere Environments Dr. Jonathan Jaffin, a general surgeon and retired Colonel in the Army Medical Corps, speaks about his current work with Deloitte Consulting and his focus on social determinants of health. The importance of the 2023 Operational Medicine Symposium is discussed, along with the innovations and opportunities to advance the practice of medicine in austere environments. The impact of a near-peer competitor on operational medicine and the need to prepare for large-scale ground combat operations with limited resources is explored. A panel of military chiefs shares the challenges of maintaining readiness, trauma to individuals and caregivers, and how to make difficult decisions in the face of limited resources. (05:47) Preparing Surgeons for Future Warfare We discuss the challenges of maintaining surgical skills in an era of sub-specialization, how telemedicine can provide care in far-forward areas, and the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) project to ensure healthcare professionals are ready for deployment. Dr. Jaffin shares his experience with the KSA project, including how to structure training based on gaps in skills and knowledge. We also discuss the role of commanders in deciding who is ready to deploy, and how the medical department can inform their decision. (15:45) Advantages of a Military Career Dr. Jaffin shares his thoughts on the advantages of pursuing a military career and how it has helped him build close relationships. He reflects on the importance of contributing to the nation and the satisfaction from doing so. We also learn more about his current work with Deloitte Consulting and the role of telemedicine in providing care in remote locations. Take Home Messages: Advancements in operational medicine are crucial, especially for austere environments where resources may be limited. The potential for large-scale ground combat with near-peer competitors presents a significant challenge for military medicine due to resource constraints. Preparing surgeons for future warfare involves addressing skill gaps and ensuring readiness for unexpected situations. Telemedicine can greatly aid medical care in remote locations, from diagnosis to expert consultations. The Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) project is key in tailoring training to address specific skill gaps in military healthcare professionals. Commanders play a crucial role in deployment readiness and decisions, and military medicine can greatly inform these decisions. Military medicine's mission extends beyond providing outstanding healthcare, it also includes preparing individuals for deployment. Simulation technology for surgical training has significantly advanced, although there's still room for improvement, especially in simulating the feel of big procedures. A military career can be gratifying, offering unique experiences, relationships, and the satisfaction of serving one's nation.

Barry Gray (Baz) is a modern-day explorer and adventurer specialising in extreme cold climates. Barry is currently planning the Solo Unsupported and Unassisted crossing of the Antarctic continent from Coast to Coast in 2024, a journey still yet to be completed, if successful, this will be a world first. Barry was always an adventurous spirit growing up, very much the outdoor type. He enjoyed almost every type of sport and excelled in quite a few of them. His true-life adventure started as a 16-year-old when he applied to join the Royal Marine Commandos. Before he reached his eighteenth birthday, he had completed the world's toughest military basic training course and took his place amongst the UK's finest soldiers. The Royal Marines are the UK's specialists in Mountain and Cold Weather training. All Royal Marines go through this training but it's a unique and special group of marines that deliver the training, they are known as the Mountain Leader Branch. Barry applied for the gruelling and extremely challenging course in 1998 and was a fully trained Mountain Leader instructor 10 months later. Barry then went on to become the Chief Instructor of this very special group in 2007. Barry's career saw him deployed on Operational tours to Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. As a Royal Marine and Mountain Leader, he has travelled the globe including the Himalayas, Norway, European Alps, The Andes, USA, Oman, Brunei, and Antarctica to name but a few. Barry decided to leave the Royal Marines in December 2016 after 26 years, achieving the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM). Amongst his passions are polar history, especially the heroic age, and in 2013 he took part in the successful Shackleton Epic expedition in which he was part of the team that authentically re-enacted Shackleton's 1916 escape from Elephant Island and crossing of South Georgia. One of the most remarkable Survival stories ever told. The journey can be seen as a three-part documentary on Discovery Channel called “Shackleton Death or Glory” Barry also skied Solo and unsupported to the South Pole in 2018-19 covering 730 miles in only 38 days making him the third quickest person in history to do so. This was part one of a two part plan to be the first man to ski Solo and Unsupported, without any assistance, to cross the entire Antarctic continent from sea to sea via the South Pole. This attempt is planned for October 2023. Barry now runs a motivational leadership business which is another big passion; to help others through mindset and resilience become the best versions of themselves.

Operational resiliency, as explained by Dormain Drewitz of PagerDuty, involves the ability to bounce back and recover from setbacks, not only technically but also in terms of organizational recovery. True resiliency means maintaining the willingness to take risks even after facing challenges. In a conversation with Heather Joslyn on the New Stack Makers podcast, Drewitz discussed the role of AI and automation in achieving operational resiliency, especially in a context where teams are under pressure to be more productive.Automation, including generative AI code completion tools, is increasingly used to boost developer productivity. However, this may lead to shifting bottlenecks from developers to operations, creating new challenges. Drewitz emphasized the importance of considering the entire value chain and identifying areas where AI and automation can assist. For instance, automating repetitive tasks in incident response, such as checking APIs, closing ports, or database checks, can significantly reduce interruptions and productivity losses.PagerDuty's AI-powered platform leverages generative AI to automate tasks and create runbooks for incident handling, allowing engineers to focus on resolving root causes and restoring services. This includes drafting status updates and incident postmortem reports, streamlining incident response and saving time. Having an operations platform that can generate draft reports at the push of a button simplifies the process, making it easier to review and edit without starting from scratch.Learn more from The New Stack about AI, Automation, Incident Response, and PagerDuty:Operationalizing AI: Accelerating Automation, DataOps, AIOpsThree Ways Automation Can Improve Workplace CultureIncident Response: Three Ts to Rule Them AllFour Ways to Win Executive Buy-In for Automation

They also consider whether we will have data marts down the road, and the role of generative AI. ---------Key Quotes:“The thing that people are looking for from computer vision, they're looking for real time situational awareness. Whether that's from a safety perspective, whether it's from an operations perspective, doesn't matter. And the only way to do that is it's got to sit at the edge. I've got to be ingesting it, processing it, managing it there at the edge. I've got to be where that physical world meets the digital world.”“There's a lot of information in there that's untapped. As we see the power of edge compute increase, as we see this federated approach to how we work with these edge-based solutions, we're going to start seeing a lot more integration of that information together.”--------Show Timestamps:(01:10) How Wayne got started in technology (04:51) Wayne's experience through three technology inflections (13:49) Wayne's move into computer vision (16:17) Defining computer vision (18:00) Computer vision and the edge (20:18) Five key themes in computer vision use cases (20:30) Personnel and facility safety use cases(22:55) Personal experience use cases(24:13) Operational efficiency use cases (26:20) Sustainability use cases (27:32) Revenue enhancement use cases (30:14) Making computer vision enhancing, instead of an invasion of privacy(35:10) Value in data that we may not have thought of yet (38:36) Will we have a data mart?

On today's episode, I'm talking about 8 different kinds of creative assets and helping you with the beginnings of building that operational process.
