Well Beyond Medicine: The Nemours Children's Health Podcast

Dr.  Stephen Klasko is a dynamic healthcare visionary who led Jefferson Health in Philadelphia as its President and CEO during much of the COVID-19 pandemic and currently serves as Executive in Residence for the venture capital group General Catalyst (GC). 

GC made news when they announced their intention to create the Health Assurance Transformation Corporation, through which they plan to buy an as-yet-unnamed healthcare system. The principles of this new company are based on Dr. Klasko's 2020 book entitled "UnHealthCare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance," and he gives us the basics in a wide-ranging conversation.

Dr. Garth Graham, the Director and Global Head of Healthcare and Public Health Partnerships at YouTube, has long espoused the belief that information is a social determinant of health. We had the chance to talk with Dr. Graham at HLTH 2023 in Las Vegas about this concept, as well as the topics of medical misinformation, health literacy, and the role, influence, and responsibility of YouTube - the world's most popular online video platform - and its parent company, Google, in creating a space where high-quality, evidenced-based health information get to the eyes and ears of those who need it.

Medical misinformation is a serious issue that is on the radar of policymakers, public health officials, pediatricians, and parents alike. It's so prominent that in 2021, with the COVID-19 pandemic raging and an undercurrent of medical misinformation working against public health efforts at vaccination, the Office of U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory on the deadly consequences of health misinformation and its equally concerning sibling, medical disinformation. Now Dr. Geeta Nayyar, a rheumatologist and former chief medical officer for AT&T and Salesforce, has penned a book about it, entitled "Dead Wrong: Diagnosing and Treating Healthcare's Misinformation Illness." tackling the age-old and increasingly more entrenched issue of medical misinformation and disinformation and its impacts on the health care system and patients like you and me.

If you are serious about pushing boundaries and transforming health and wellness, HLTH is the place to be. The 2023 edition of HLTH, held earlier this month in Las Vegas, united more than 10,000 senior executives, decision-makers, and innovators across the healthcare spectrum whose common goal is to discuss the trends and strategies needed to create health's future and move them forward. This year, Nemours Children's Health convened HLTH's first-ever track focused on creating the healthiest generations of children. 

It's a goal near and dear to the heart of Nemours' president and CEO, Dr. Larry Moss, who joined us in our HLTH podcast booth in Las Vegas as we sat down for a conversation with Alex Azar, the 24th Secretary of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, who served in that post from January 2018 to January 2021.

For all the hope that artificial intelligence (AI) brings to healthcare, there are perils, patient privacy concerns, public trust, legal and ethical considerations, the fear of biased algorithms, and how to handle the need for massive amounts of the right data to feed AI algorithms.  We'll discuss that with experts from across the world of pediatric cardiology.

Dr. Rima Arnaout is an Assistant Professor of Medicine and a member of the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute, University of California, San Francisco, and her area of expertise is as an adult cardiologist. Yet her work in artificial intelligence has spilled into the pediatric world. Her vast knowledge base includes research and background with AI as a predictive tool. We began our conversation at the World Congress of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery in Washington, DC, discussing a specific aspect of AI known as predictive analytics and how it applies to both adult and pediatric cardiac medicine.

Dr. Pei-Ni Jone is Director of the Echocardiography Laboratory a the Heart Center of the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Dr. Jone also leads an artificial intelligence workgroup for the American College of Cardiology. The group was established to help fill an education gap for her fellow member physicians regarding the fast-paced changes that AI is bringing to the field. We sat down at the World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery to discuss an AI education gap among physicians, clinicians, and the public.
