TopMedTalk

This conversation comes from the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology conference 2023. It gets right to the business end of our profession and discusses industry trends and challenges in anesthesia; payment cuts, healthcare pricing, reimbursement, staffing and leadership.

Presented by Desiree Chappell, TopMedTalk Co-Editor in Chief, Vice President of Clinical Quality at NorthStar Anesthesia, with her guests Adam Spiegel, CEO, NorthStar Anesthesia and Randy Moore, Chief Anesthetists Officer of NorthStar Anesthesia.

"It's evolution, not revolution, we've got a long way to go. But I'm certainly really excited to be on this journey. And I hope some of you will want to come on that journey with us."

This piece looks at artificial intelligence (AI) in perioperative care. How and why can this new technology help?

Presented by Sandy (Alexander) Jackson, specialty trainee in anaesthetics and intensive care medicine and an NIHR Doctoral Fellow at the University of Southampton.

"Every single one of you can and should go build an AI model. It's actually pretty simple these days. But then think about; what actually is the problem here? And where could the system go wrong?"

This podcast opens up the first in a four part series here on TopMedTalk about a topic which has defined the last few years; what does the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems mean for perioperative medicine, what will the benefits be and where do we already see potential challenges? This first part "An Introduction to AI" gets the conversation going.

With a short introduction from Mike Grocott this piece is presented by Adriane Chapman, Professor at University of Southampton, Head of Digital Health Research Group, Director for the Centre for Health Technologies.

This piece is taken from a four part presentation, three talks and a discussion, first given at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) 2023.

Anesthesiology 2023, a huge event in the perioperative calendar for us here at TopMedTalk; the annual general meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).
