S7 Ep5: Stanford Medicine’s Michael Pfeffer and Nigam Shah on Scaling AI in Clinical Care

The Minor Consult

Dean Lloyd Minor welcomes Michael Pfeffer, MD, chief information and digital officer at Stanford Health Care, and Nigam Shah, MBBS, PhD, the health system’s chief data scientist, for a conversation about how AI is being used to augment health care. They explore how AI is helping clinicians access troves of data to inform patient care and how it’s helping ease their clerical burden, allowing more time for meaningful interactions with patients. They also discuss the guardrails in place to protect privacy and ensure reliability, as well as what is needed to scale AI tools to benefit as many patients as possible.
