What happens when artificial intelligence meets end-of-life care? How do we reconcile private equity's profit motives with hospice's mission-driven ethos? These questions took center stage in this month's roundup of hospice news with host Chris Comeaux and guest Cordt Kassner.
The May edition of TCNtalks' top news stories reveals a healthcare sector at a fascinating crossroads. AI has emerged as both a tantalizing promise and a practical challenge for hospice providers. As Chris notes, "We live in a time where people use sensationalized language for everything," yet the revolutionary potential of AI in healthcare deserves the hype. Meanwhile, some hospices struggle with basic internet connectivity, creating what Chris calls a "weird dichotomy" reminiscent of the 1920s when modern conveniences existed alongside homes without electricity.
In this episode of TCN Talks, hosts Chris Comeaux and Cord Kastner reflect on Memorial Day and discuss significant news stories from May, including the complexities of thanking veterans for their service, the role of artificial intelligence in hospice care, and the importance of honest conversations about racism in healthcare.
They also explore the leadership skills necessary for healthcare CEOs, the challenges of dementia care, and the implications of private equity in the healthcare sector. Chris also introduces a new initiative called Brain Bookmarks, which aims to provide quick leadership insights. Join us.
