Computer assisted diagnosis is already an ubiquitous thing in medicine, it just doesn't have LLM hype bubble behind it even though it very much incorporates AI solutions. Nevertheless, effectively all implementations never diagnose and rather make suggestions to medical practitioners. The biggest hurdle to uptake is usually giving users clearly and quickly the underlying cause for the suggestion (transparency and interpretability is a longstanding field of research here).

    Do you know of a specific software that double-checks charting by physicians and nurses and orders for labs, procedures relative to patient symptoms or lab values, etc., and returns some sort of probablistic analysis of their ailments, or identifies potential medical error decision-making? Genuine question because at least with my experience in the industry I haven't, but I also haven't worked with Epic software specifically.

    I used to work for Philips and that is exactly a lot of what the patient care informatics businesses (and the other informatics businesses really) were working on for quite a while. The biggest hold up when I was there was usually a combination of two things: regulatory process (very important) and mercurial business leadership (Philips has one of the worst and most dysfunctional management cultures, from c-suite all the way down, that I've ever seen).

    That's really interesting, thanks. I'm curious how long ago this was as neither I nor my partner (who works in the clinical side of healthcare) have seen anything deployed at least at the facilities we've been at.
