Healthcare has a knowledge management crisis.

The evidence exists, clinical guidelines exist, and best practices exist, but too often that knowledge never reaches clinicians when they need it most. In this episode of Straight Outta Health IT, host Christopher Kunney sits down with Dr. Ido Zamberg, physician, anesthesiologist, technologist and Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of C8 Health, to explore how healthcare can close the gap between what medicine knows and what actually happens at the point of care. Dr. Zamberg brings a unique perspective from both technology and clinical medicine. He began his career as a computer scientist and technology executive before moving into medicine and becoming an anesthesiologist. Today, he is focused on using technology and AI to help healthcare organizations implement evidence-based best practices.

The conversation covers healthcare AI, generative AI, clinical knowledge management, healthcare IT, digital health, evidence-based medicine, clinical decision support and the future of healthcare technology.

Christopher and Dr. Zamberg discuss:

• Why healthcare struggles to implement best practices

• The growing clinical knowledge management crisis

• Why publishing clinical guidelines does not mean they are actually implemented

• The gap between medical evidence and care at the point of practice

• How generative AI can help clinicians find the information they need

• How AI can support clinical decision-making without replacing physicians

• AI governance and responsible AI in healthcare

• Healthcare alert fatigue and how to make clinical notifications more effective

• The relationship between clinical knowledge management and physician burnout

• How better access to clinical knowledge can improve patient outcomes

• How AI can help identify gaps and potential bias in clinical best practices

• Why healthcare systems should rethink how they work with healthcare startups
