Patient Safety in the Age of AI: Risks, Rewards, and Reality live at the IHI Forum
Turn on the Lights PodcastShow Notes
The energy is electric at the IHI Forum, even before the forum officially begins.
In this episode, co-hosts Kedar Mate and Don Berwick discuss how AI, patient safety, and administrative waste are shaping the future of health care. They explore the excitement and uncertainty around AI’s growing role in diagnostics, coordination, and clinical decision-making. They discuss why clinicians need real training to use AI safely and effectively, and how learning health networks are driving continuous improvement. They also delve into the persistent administrative burdens, especially in Medicaid and fee-for-service systems, that hinder true efficiency in health care.
Tune in to hear how innovation, policy, and technology are colliding at this year’s IHI Forum!
