Very proud of @abbykietz.bsky.social for this #AMIA2025 recognition! Congrats!

We collect Coca Cola items so I took a short detour to the World of Coca Cola during #AMIA2025 in Atlanta. #CocaCola #Atlanta

Very impressive #AMIA2025 presentation about MedViz. Altnerative to chat interactions with AI. medviz.org

Kedar Mate keynote at #AMIA2025 shared the essence of implementation science IMHO. I often say that i began my career in industry with “here is what i want you to want”. It worked for S Jobs but not so much for me. Now I focus on “what are your needs?” And “how can i help?”

#AMIA2025 Come meet Abby Kietzman @abbykietz.bsky.social and learn about the Reasearch Informatics Navigator role at Children's Mercy @research.childrensmercy.org . Poster #P78 Sunday Nov. 16.

The second part will discuss the potential for AI to benefit healthcare. Thanks Shannon Hood and CHKD team for the invitation.

I am very excited to speak (twice!) at the Evelyn Keever Bioethics day at the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters on Friday! I'm a "begin with the bad news" person, so the first session will provide background and an honest discussion of the many risks posed by AI in healthcare.

Excited to share this capability developed by the Research Informatics and Data Science team @research.childrensmercy.org ! Place-based analysis is essential but challenging, we are developing capabilities that will simplify the process. www.childrensmercy.org/childrens-me...

We’re working to advance pediatric care with bold science and bright futures - and sharing all about it at #AAP2025 this weekend. Visit us at booth #568 to explore our latest #BuiltForKids innovations.

PLUS visit our playful puppy playpen for a moment to recharge.

So many pollinators! #nature

Healthcare accounts for about 9% of carbon utilization, a pre-AI estimate. Thanks @chethan.bsky.social and team for this important discussion of the impact of AI on climate change. catalyst.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

I am excited about participating in the @childrensmercy.org annual Dream Big fundraiser. Our team honors the memory of my late friend and colleague Brian "Mooose" Rivera and supports the Research Informatics team and our Makerspace. Please help us out! give.childrensmercykids.org/fundraiser/6...

Research suggests doctors might quickly become dependent on AI A study in Poland found that doctors appeared less likely to detect abnormalities during colonoscopies on their own after they'd grown used to help from an AI tool.

I appreciated NPR's coverage of a recent paper demonstrating providers becoming dependent on AI and "deskilling" when AI was not available. There is a link to the Lancet paper in the story.

Thank you! All of my patents except a new one that is pending are owned by Oracle from my time at Cerner. They pertain to integrating genomic information with the EHR , public health or complex decision support.

Grateful to have been formally inducted as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors last night. #NAI

Badges are all the rage lately. As an avid #birdwatcher, I really felt seen by this Experian badge....
