Manage episode 428378224 series 3564202
Barbara, a developmental behavioral pediatrician, discussed her company's system that aims to enhance evidence-based care for children. The system, initiated two decades ago with her husband, involves patients completing questionnaires before and between visits, which then triggers in-visit decision support for doctors and offers specific education and resources for patients. The company, located in the greater Baltimore, DC area, is licensed to other clinics and has been utilized by over 55,000 clinicians in various countries. The future implications of AI on this system were also discussed, with Barbara highlighting the potential benefits and challenges of AI in patient education. She emphasized the importance of utilizing reliable information and keeping personally identifiable information confidential when using AI. Barbara's role as a developmental behavioral pediatrician and her work in improving screening tools for autism were also noted.

Lastly, Barbara and Krista emphasized the importance of patient engagement in healthcare, the progress in medicine, and Barbara encouraged listeners to visit their website and participate in a new initiative to improve screening tools for children at 18 months.
