Humans are ingesting so much AI content that prompt language, fawning feedback and “caveman speak” are officially bleeding into real-world meetings. on.wsj.com/3TfCzaP

I'm excited to announce our transition to become the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Institute for Evidence, Innovation and Policy. Read more about the Smith Institute's evolution here: bidmc.org/news-stories/all-n…

NASA in 1969: "Because of the complex geometry associated with a lunar mission, it is difficult to visualize the various aspects of such a mission. The objective... is to depict what the crew will see during maneuvers and coast periods during the flight of Apollo 11..."

1792 Sept 27: The fabulous British illustrator & caricaturist George Cruikshank was born. He died 1 Feb 1878. One of his medical works is "Headache" tinyurl.com/d39rhoz #histmed #medicalhistory

💬 Editorial by @JAMA_current and @JAMANetwork senior editorial staff: #ResearchLetters can be an effective format for focused studies that address timely clinical, policy, and public health questions. The format is particularly well suited to straightforward analyses and concise interpretation, while maintaining the same rigorous peer and editorial review as full-length Original Investigations. ja.ma/4hyJW57

Blue Cross Blue Shield says hospital use of AI tools led to an additional $942M in healthcare spending over a two-year period. spr.ly/6011BGmVdv

I think @ZekeEmanuel and others are wrong about AI replacing physicians, but AI is already playing an important role in my clinical life. I’ve come to rely on @OpenEvidence enormously, and I believe it’s making me a better doctor. At the same time, I worry that frictionless access to clinical decision support is making my learners worse. I wrote about this for @nytopinion: nytimes.com/2026/09/25/opini…

"Access to medical knowledge shouldn't depend on geography," said Daniel Nadler, founder and CEO of OpenEvidence. That's why OpenEvidence and @AnthropicAI are bringing a specialized version of OpenEvidence, free, to clinicians in about 100 low- and middle-income countries, including Uganda, Angola, Sudan, Haiti, and Mongolia.

The promise of medical AI is not simply better performance — it is better care grounded in evidence that can be trusted. On AI Grand Rounds, @DrXiaoLiu discusses what rigorous evaluation looks like as technologies move from publications into practice. 🎧 nejm.ai/ep46

Trust in medical AI hasn't been earned yet. But it potentially can be with randomized trials conducted in real world medicine @NatureMedicine @HardyShakerman @cameronphchen nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

The Center of Healthcare Delivery Science hosted a special program about the future of AI in healthcare, featuring Dr. @mdhowellmd, Chief Clinical Officer at @Google and former BIDMC faculty & CMR, and Dr. Adam Rodman. An extraordinary showcase & thank you to all who joined!

New Good Medicine with @AdamRodmanMD ! What if AI outdiagnoses your doctor—and adding the doctor back makes the answer worse? That’s the uncomfortable question behind @ZekeEmanuel's recent JAMA article that inspired so much debate! Some takeaways from our conversation. 🧵 1/5

As artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly capable of clinical diagnosis, a new commentary argues that clinicians remain essential for managing risk and accountability, drawing on four uniquely human capacities that #AI cannot replicate. bit.ly/4h039MG @andrewparsonsMD @AdamRodmanMD

📣 New episode of Good Medicine! Dr. Adam Rodman (@AdamRodmanMD), a physician, researcher, and medical historian, discusses the uncomfortable realities of AI in healthcare. Key takeaways: -Why "human in the loop" is a hypothesis we need to test, not assume. -Why AI diagnostic accuracy doesn't automatically mean better patient care. -How AI's greatest value might be filling the gaps in care we currently can't provide. Plus: deskilling, self-driving cars, and a philosophical defense of pineapple on pizza. Where do you think physician oversight adds the most value?

How do physicians perceive the quality of #AI generated e-consult advice? And how does that influence their uptake of management recommendations? Take a look at our new article in @JournalGIM! By Gabi Desjardins, Varun Jain, and @mgsimonson1 🧵Below link.springer.com/article/10…

The clinician's role in the AI medical era "Clinicians cannot, and should not, resist powerful AI technologies if these systems improve the quality of patient care." "We contend that the clinician's enduring role is accountability." [I think the enduring role is well beyond that, but OK] perspective by @andrewparsonsMD and @AdamRodmanMD @AnnalsofIM acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/…

Star Trek pubmed is pretty slick

This feels like the plot of a Neal Stephenson novel from the 90s...

In 2019, a flood on the Congo River triggered something truly remarkable. Long after the flood reached the Atlantic, a dense underwater avalanche kept going for more than 700 mi (1,130 km) across the seabed, leaving a huge scar. And it accelerated as it went. 1/n
