Tell Me Where It Hurts: Hosted by Medicomp Systems

Hosted by: Medicomp Systems

On this special episode of Tell Me Where IT Hurts, Dr. Jay Anders welcomes back (for a third time) Micky Tripathi, Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, and Acting Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

It’s quite a title – one that reflects the many hats that he wears.

Together with Dr. Anders, Tripathi discusses the current state of healthcare technology, interoperability, and AI implementation in healthcare. Both share personal stories illustrating their own experiences with healthcare system disconnects – despite the many existing technological capabilities they both advocate for.

Tripathi explains recent regulations like HTI-1 and HTI-2, which aim to improve healthcare data sharing and transparency in AI implementation. And they discuss how current healthcare systems are technically connected but often fail at the implementation level, with staff unaware of available capabilities.

The conversation delves into AI’s potential in healthcare, with Tripathi emphasizing its transformative nature while acknowledging current limitations and the need for proper training on clinical data. They also discuss the bipartisan nature of health IT policy and the successful public-private partnership model of TEFCA. The conversation concludes with Tripathi expressing his wish for a healthcare system that takes a lifetime perspective on patient care, rather than the current fragmented approach
