AXIOS (Jim VandeHei) - How AI could bring Mayo-quality health care to everyone
My wife, Autumn, has spent nearly a quarter of the past four years in ERs and hospitals, untangling and battling three chronic conditions — and a shamefully broken U.S. medical system. - We live in Washington, D.C., with top-rated hospitals in our backyard. Yet her experience has been eye-opening and often horrifying, especially for a nation that spends twice as much on medical care as our rivals. What it's like: ERs so hauntingly jammed she's often stacked like cargo in hallways, on a stretcher, waiting double-digit hours for care. - Well-intentioned and often talented nurses overwhelmed and overworked. - Doctors forbidden from, or uninterested in, working with experts beyond their domain to solve complex conditions. It's random luck…
AI:The American healthcare system remains a broken, bureaucratic disaster where patients pay premium prices for substandard care characterized by overcrowded ERs and siloed specialists. The Mayo Clinic offers a potential blueprint for reform through its multidisciplinary team-based approach, where doctors are paid flat salaries to focus on healing rather than volume-driven fee-for-service models.

DAILYCALLER (Ireland Owens) - AI Is Making More Work For Doctors, Not Less
‘AI can sound like a doctor but not think like one’
Using artificial intelligence for some tasks may actually be contributing to heavier workloads for some physicians, according to new research from Dartmouth. AI tools can sometimes worsen doctors’ workloads by introducing errors and adding unnecessary details into their written messages to patients, according to Dartmouth’s study , which was presented on Tuesday at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics in San Diego, California. The report also suggests that physicians may actually spend more time editing AI-generated responses than it would take to write them without using AI tools.
