  • Journal club episodes are amazing, others not worth listening to

    So glad you’ve started doing journal club episodes again. After multiple incredibly disappointing episodes this season had stopped listening but am back to (conditionally) recommending this podcast to others. My one request is that you split the feed such that I can only subscribe to the journal episodes, as the others are not valuable to me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The AI-Native Health Plan | UnitedHealth Group’s Dan Kueter
Q: Is there a universe in which we fully eliminate information asymmetries and have trust-based contracts, with autonomous guidance and oversight but without the middleman work?
Kueter says UnitedHealth Group is working toward touchless prior authorization through comprehensive, fast information exchange and aims to eliminate 30% of authorizations. He hopes technology can eventually assess safety, efficacy, and outcomes invisibly, without care delays or extra actions.
The AI-Native Health Plan | UnitedHealth Group’s Dan Kueter
Q: Are there aspects of administering a health plan product that are still AI-proof in the next two to three years?
Kueter says he cannot identify what will prove AI-proof, but expects AI to keep accelerating back-office work, consumer-facing services, underwriting, and distribution. Brokers and other trusted relationships may persist, even as AI assists them.
The Next Era of Health Data: AI, Open APIs, and the End of the EHR Oligopoly
Q: When do you think we will see a contender enter the playing field to break the oligopoly in the acute care EHR market?
Keane says AI will transform the market and predicts a serious new contender could appear within one to two years.
The Next Era of Health Data: AI, Open APIs, and the End of the EHR Oligopoly
Q: How does ONC look at consumer wearables, chat data, and biomarker collection outside traditional clinical care, and what advice do you give founders about that data?
Keane says future rulemaking will account for care and patient data moving beyond traditional certified health IT. Patient-generated data should be reliable, interpretable, and standardized, and should flow between AI systems and traditional health records with ways to verify and audit AI actions.
Building the Store for Healthcare | General Medicine
Q: What would general medicine do for a patient who feels a lump in their breast and knows they need care, but may not know exactly what they need?
Parker describes a patient who had a mammogram and needed a biopsy. General Medicine helped schedule the biopsy within three days and would help connect the patient to a specialist for further care if needed.
