AI to help physicians, just chit chat, no research in this post

"Fix the information overload for clinicians by investing in technology solutions

By: Solomon Banjo

The problem

We are entering a transformative era of clinical innovation where providers are using tailored treatments, diagnostics, and technology to improve patient care. Even non-curative advancements have the potential to enhance patient quality of life and enable proactive and predictive care. A key challenge in 2024, however, is ensuring clinicians effectively integrate new knowledge into their workflows to deliver evidence-based care.

The pace of innovation far outstrips our current approaches. It takes the American Medical Association an average of 18-24 months to assign a CPT code, while during that same time there will be 25-35 FDA-approved cell and gene therapies, 300 AI algorithms, and at least 8,000 genetic tests entering the market.

Medical knowledge now doubles every 72 days, and it can take over a decade for validated knowledge to become widely practiced. So, it's no surprise that 68% of physicians feel overwhelmed by the amount of information they need to keep up with.

The vast amount of medical knowledge is only one aspect contributing to information overload. Life sciences companies, in particular, heavily market their innovations and associated research to ensure patients have access to their drugs. As a result, clinicians have to sift through lots of medical evidence and innovations to make informed decisions."

"Provider and physician organizations must invest in partnerships and technologies to enable the shift from memory-based to technology-assisted decision-making. This shift should happen both at the point-of-care and in updating care standards. While we can reduce the amount of medical information, it's unlikely that we can make it manageable using only human efforts."
