Peterborough Regional Health Centre’s Dr. Lynn Mikula, President
and CEO, and Evan Lyons, EVP, Digital Services, Strategy &
Transformation and CIO, help us understand how to initiate and
sustain delivery around Artificial Intelligence (AI).
They value building a solid foundation around data first and
then using AI as a lever to build on what’s created.
When it comes down to it, partnerships are key. Lynn and Evan
feel strongly that no healthcare organization should figure out AI
alone. Healthcare
organizations are facing many of the same problems within the same
system, so we should leverage the opportunity to go further
together.
On this episode, we embrace this idea of doing it together,
discussing how organizations can navigate, adopt, and adapt to this
technology.
Quotables:
- “We need to be helping each other because it [AI] is a vast and
a little bit of an alarming topic, it is constantly changing, none
of us can see that far ahead of where it’s going next.” - L.M
- “I believe this technology has the potential to be deeply
transformative in healthcare, deeply disruptive. Some of it will be
good, some of it will be bad, a lot of it we don’t understand yet.
So, let’s work together.” – L.M
- “If you try to do something yourself without understanding the
data first, it would be an inappropriate or incomplete use case.” –
L.M
- “The efficiencies to be gained exist in the lessons learned
from other organizations who are trying to solve similar problems.”
– E.L
- “The early innovations are great, it’s good for exploration,
but really what we want to see is sustained delivery of these
solutions at scale and that’s where that ‘together’ mandate is
really important.” – E.L
- “The real value isn’t in the technology as a standalone item.
It’s in the shared learning of how to apply that technology for a
specific desired outcome.” – E.L
