Loved speaking on electronic health records, including on critical need to focus on adoption, that digitisation in itself does not guarantee transformation and the implications of hardwiring EHRs into so much of what we do. Great debate.
Brilliant discussion with colleagues from @ouhospitals.bsky.social @cuhnhs.bsky.social @microsoft.com and @lukeoshea.bsky.social and @nellthornton.bsky.social about the role of AI in delivering improved healthcare, including the trade-offs we need to discuss with the public #Shelford2025
