In the session, “Intelligence and Human Pairing: The Best of Both Worlds in Healthcare”, participants will learn how to leverage AI-enabled solutions, compare AI-alone versus a hybrid human/AI approach, and explore how these platforms can assist staff by providing more accuracy and reliability while increasing productivity.

Joe Marks, a Director at Augmedix and Advisor to the Center for Machine Learning & Health at Carnegie Mellon University, and I are excited for the opportunity to share our perspectives during the Pathways Conference on the benefits of the hybrid approach and what the future holds for AI.”

The theme of the MPE: Pathways Conference DX is Follow Your Path: Finance | Operations | Data. The conference will bring healthcare professionals together to choose the path that fits their day-to-day roles and responsibilities, and offers attendees access to the latest healthcare operations, data and financial education. The MPE: Pathways Conference DX will showcase five content tracks, 30 sessions, 50 speakers and opportunities to network with 2,000+ peers in a state-of-the-art digital experience.

“The pandemic accelerated medical practices’ use of technology and we, as an industry, are rapidly including it in our daily processes to increase patient satisfaction and enhance operations. We are excited for Augmedix to share their expertise on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how attendees can improve workflow by incorporating a Hybrid-AI approach into their organizations,” said Halee Fischer-Wright, MD, MMM, FAAP, FACMPE, president and CEO at MGMA.
