Last week, i’m excited to say, I completed the Artificial Intelligence in Health Care program at MIT Sloan School of Management. I learned a ton, was out over my skis in many of the assignments, and was introduced to some truly inspiring individuals. In the final assignment, I was asked to apply the AI decision framework we learned throughout the course for a specific use case in health care. My use case was “The Role of Machine Learning in Enhancing Patient Care and Reducing Administrative Burden With Utilization Management Policies”. If you are bored enough to keep reading (bless you), here are some of my initial takeaways: 1. A successful AI model in this use case would need to be limited to a narrow network due to the expansive amount of variable data and interoperability policies currently in place. 2. True stakeholder input would be needed throughout the process of AI model development and must include patients, providers, and payers at every level. 3. Explainability (understanding how the AI model arrived at its conclusion) of this AI model is paramount in development, as certain stakeholder motivations could incentivize a more complex machine learning model that could obscure transparency. 4. Policy making in machine learning in the health care delivery space must start with the ultimate goal of patient-centricity and demand transparency at every level. Overall, I’m encouraged and excited about what the future may hold in regard to health care delivery and machine learning, but policies must be put in place to ensure patient protections as we walk the fine line of encouraging innovation and creating safe guards for our future.

Healthcare data analytics focuses on deriving descriptive and diagnostic insights from patient data to better understand health conditions and outcomes. In contrast, AI leverages machine learning algorithms to go beyond current knowledge and power predictive analytics that forecast risks, suggest interventions, and enable more personalized care. Ultimately, data analytics provides the contextual grounding for AI applications in healthcare settings. #HealthcareDataAnalytics #DataRx The future is now.

A review on this conversation where Todd shares his insights on the growing use of AI in healthcare across administrative support, knowledge augmentation, clinical decision-making, and revenue cycle management. Give it a listen. https://ow.ly/rwjt50Qew5w I enjoyed Todd’s perspective during this discussion on AI in Healthcare and was surprised by comments regarding the Healthcare workforce. Something I hope AI can mend. As ex-AWS, Todd’s “AWS sayings” on data and the customer resonated well with me. Data has Gravity. One of the challenges in healthcare was the amount of siloed data. Pulling it together from disparate sources was the lion’s share of the work, then normalizing it, and making sense of it. With Inovalon’s large data sets, we’ve already done the heavy lifting liberating us to leverage capabilities in applying technologies like AI, ML, and predictive analytics. As well, that we’re both “Working Backwards” from real problems to develop solutions. I’m pleased to hear this as I investigate an area Todd mentioned, AI to assist in Social Determinants of Health (SDOH’s). Hopefully we can change those small incremental improvements over large amounts of time, into the bursting he mentioned. There’s more great insights in our research series with Harvard Medical School on the research data and how it impacts us at policy level in our country. Stay tuned. It’s the MarkSza channel. This podcast is packed with great insights. Thanks Justine Giancola and Todd C. Sharp, MSci! #AWS #Reinvent2023 #ai #Inovalon

Causal machine learning is changing how we make clinical decisions. Unlike traditional machine learning that predicts outcomes, causal machine learning explains the "why" and "what if" behind those predictions. This shift from correlation to causation allows for personalized medicine at its best. Imagine knowing not just which treatment could work, but why it’s the best option for a specific patient. 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗟 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗟: 𝟭. 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝘀. 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: - 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Identifies correlations and makes predictions based on patterns observed in data. It's primarily concerned with "what" happens. - 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Looks to establish cause-and-effect relationships, answering "why" something happens and "what if" different interventions are applied. 𝟮. 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵: - 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Often uses algorithms that can be black boxes, focusing on accuracy and pattern detection over interpretability. - 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Employs models that incorporate causal assumptions, making them more transparent and interpretable, as they mimic human reasoning more closely. 𝟯. 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: - 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: : Can work effectively with large volumes of observational data. - 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Often requires structured experimental data or sophisticated designs to infer causality, such as randomized control trials or longitudinal studies. Recent studies highlight its power: Causal machine learning can potentially reduce trial and error in treatment plans, increasing efficiency and patient outcomes. This method is not just about data, but about making the data work for us in the most impactful ways. 🔗 Link to study in the comments below. For those in evidence generation, this means richer, more actionable insights that can accelerate innovation and patient care. The potential for this technology to improve lives is immense. 👉 Follow xCures Read our LinkedIn Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dnNJV2ti https://xcures.com/ 👀 #HealthTech #AIinHealthcare

GenAI is becoming prevalent across various industries, streamlining business operations, enhancing product and service quality, and transforming the future of work. However, the widespread adoption of AI-driven predictive analytics in Healthcare is hindered by challenges such as data standardization, integration of disparate data sources, and semantic interoperability. Mayo Clinic addressed these issues by partnering with Google to implement machine learning solutions. Their efforts to integrate, harmonize, and analyze diverse data sources to enable AI predictive analytics in their radiology department show promise but highlight that there is still a long journey ahead, with human oversight remaining crucial. But when this evolves further....should AI prescribe without a medical license?
