Digitization of the US Healthcare System and Early Insights from the AI Era
About this Event
This lecture will look back at the digitization of U.S. healthcare, why it has not yet realized the hoped for vast improvements in health care, and what has been learned about the interplay among technology, policy, market incentives, healthcare organizations, and clinicians in turning promise into practice. The lecture will discuss the emerging era of artificial intelligence, examining early evidence about how AI is being deployed in healthcare and whether it can overcome some of the limitations of the first digital era and avoid reproducing them in new forms.
During the question and answer period, in-person attendees and live stream viewers may ask the speaker questions, and in-person attendees may also engage with the speaker during the post-lecture reception. Refreshments are served. For more information on this meeting, please visit: https://pswscience.org/meeting/2541
