My new piece in @NEJM_AI, "Vibe Coding versus Clinical Reality": the barrier to building has dropped, but the barrier to building safely hasn't. Physicians can now prototype; getting it safely to patients still takes engineers working alongside us.

So AI scribe (Heidi at least) saves 1-2 minutes, bloats notes, and doesn't actually improve closure time or RVUs. I'm not shocked... the notes aren't the problem it's pre-charting and all the other clicking it takes to close a note!

Could your voice help track fatigue? In this study of shift workers, brief speech samples helped predict self-reported sleepiness, suggesting a possible method to monitor fatigue.

At Open@Epic, Epic announced Connectors, which let agents built in Agent Factory (which apparently Art, Emmie, and Penny are) invoke external Model Context Protocol servers.

In today’s Daily Ping, I walk through how Connectors work (to the greatest extent of information CP plumbing underneath them (far more familiar than the hype suggests), and where Agent Factory fits in the broader Epic developer and marketplace ecosystem.

We see the race among systems of record to keep agents inside their walls manifesting via various patterns. My take is that this is a reasonable, even mundane, architecture. Vendors list their servers in Showroom, Epic’s agents call out via a standards-based protocol, and customers can still connect servers they build or choose themselves. Whether it ends up good or bad depends on details Epic hasn’t shared yet, especially pricing and review.

I also dig into Epic’s new MCP server for open.epic documentation and why every vendor should do the same.

AI scanning notes helped clinicians find 225 missed specialist referrals at 7 Singapore clinics. A possible safety net for patients whose referrals were planned but never ordered.

Having a clinician check AI does not guarantee safety. A new review finds that incorrect advice can sway clinical decisions. To protect patients, hospitals might need to test whether staff can spot and stop errors.

"Some sort of AI is the first thing that people reach for."

@DBatesSafety says AI is changing diagnosis faster than anything he's seen, and unlike past efforts to change how doctors diagnose, this one is spreading from the bottom up.

How is AI reshaping radiology? A recent STAT article explores how practices are integrating AI to address growing demand, workforce shortages, administrative work, and what it takes to demonstrate clinical benefit.

AI messages can sound like a doctor but may not be as useful. A UCLA study found text-similarity scores missed quality differences in independently written replies. Human review is still important when evaluating AI.

About 90% of mammograms can be read by AI as normal without a physician overread.

Radiologists focus on the rest, and agreement between readers goes up.
