Live on the STAT@HLTH Stage: A Dose of Reality on EHRs and AI 

At the STAT@HLTH Stage, we’ll explore both the potential of emerging technologies and the realities of the systems they must work within.

AI now touches virtually every part of health and medicine, from the doctor’s office to insurance reimbursement, medical diagnosis, and drug development. It is transforming care, but also bringing new problems and challenges.

It’s also been seventeen years since legislation spurred widespread adoption of electronic medical records. In that time, Epic, the biggest player in the field, has seen its revenue increase 10-fold — and drawn scrutiny regarding its influence over the health care industry.

STAT will sit down with leading voices on AI, EHRs, and beyond. Plus, get a reporter’s eye view of the challenges facing the U.S. health IT system.
