AI and Health Equity with Dr. Albert Villarin

Leader to Leader, a podcast from Healthcare IT Leaders, features bi-weekly conversations with some of the brightest minds in healthcare.

In?this week's episode?(S1, E5) Nuvance Health CMIO Albert Villarin, MD MBA FACEP discusses the promise of AI to improve outcomes and patient experience. ?"For clinicians we want to reduce their work, and automate the everyday, mundane, repetitive tasks that we now can do with augmented or artificial intelligence."

As a result, says Villarin, patients and providers can spend more time talking and listening to one another, "rather than me having to stop the interaction with a patient, turn around and type what I need, or worse is try to remember it after the patient leaves."

Dr. Villarin and host Ben Hilmes, MHA, FACHE also talk about the concept of "Techquity," using technology to promote health equity, as well as the evolving role of the CMIO and Dr. Villarin's personal leadership journey, including his stint in the Army, where he trained as an emergency physician.
