Healthcare systems are under immense pressure to improve patient experiences while simultaneously reducing costs and administrative burdens. Healthcare organizations are finding innovative ways to listen at scale and unlock insights buried in patient conversations with the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI). In a landscape where AI is often seen with skepticism, technologies that focus on real-world applications, such as conversational intelligence, are making a tangible difference. In fact, according to a recent study, AI applications in healthcare are expected to grow by 48.1% over the next five years, with a focus on improving patient engagement and operational efficiency.

So, how can AI-driven platforms like Authenticx help healthcare organizations turn patient conversations into actionable insights that drive reform? And what does this mean for the future of leadership in healthcare operations?

In this episode of I Don't Care with Kevin Stevenson, the host dives deep into these questions with Amy Brown, Founder and CEO of Authenticx. Together, they explore how conversational data can transform decision-making in healthcare, how AI can be a tool for reducing physician burnout, and what "listening at scale" truly means for the industry.

  • The Eddie Effect: A key innovation from Authenticx, this machine-learning model identifies patient "eddies"—where patients get stuck in their healthcare journey—helping systems address inefficiencies and improve care delivery.

TotalCare's monthly mock codes paid off in a real code blue

TotalCare's monthly mock codes paid off in a real code blue

TotalCare runs a monthly mock code at each of its freestanding Metroplex emergency rooms, trains BLS, ACLS and PALS in house at no cost to staff, and plans to seek ANCC accreditation so its classes count toward the 20 contact hours Texas requires of nurses. Its ER clinical director credits the drills for a recent code blue the team ran flawlessly.

  • 01Every TotalCare emergency room in the Metroplex now runs a mock code every month, and a physician credited the drills in a text after a recent real code blue.
  • 02ANCC accreditation, which TotalCare is pursuing so its classes can offer contact hours Texas accepts for license renewal, carries a $4,950 first-time application fee effective January 1, 2026, and requires at least six months of compliance before applying.
  • 03A study in an American Heart Association journal found that top hospitals for cardiac arrest survival practiced on a fixed schedule and had responsive leadership, and that the near-universal availability of BLS and ACLS training is unlikely to be sufficient on its own.

Why young children die from local anesthetic overdoses in dental offices

Why young children die from local anesthetic overdoses in dental offices

Dentist anesthesiologists Stanley Malamed and Jason Brady told HealthFirst's Health First Talks podcast that fatal local anesthetic overdoses in young dental patients follow a chain of small errors: one-visit treatment plans, plain 3% mepivacaine, four quadrants injected at once and adult cartridges. Oral Health Group estimates LAST at 0.27 cases per 1,000 administrations. Brady caps his anesthetic tray at 90% of the maximum recommended dose.

  • 01Plain 3% mepivacaine is a sound one-quadrant drug for a child; beyond one quadrant, Malamed says epinephrine must be in the cartridge because it holds the drug in the nerve and keeps blood levels down.
  • 02Oral Health Group estimates LAST at about 0.27 cases per 1,000 local anesthetic administrations and reports cardiac signs come before any nervous system warning in about 20% of atypical cases.
  • 03Brady preps a tray holding 90% of the patient's calculated maximum recommended dose so a distracted operator cannot reach past it mid-case.

Suki raises $90M to take its AI scribe beyond note-taking

Suki raises $90M to take its AI scribe beyond note-taking

The funding backs a bet that scribes become clinicians' main AI interface, which changes how health systems evaluate them.

  • 01An ambient scribe holds visit context, and in early evaluations clinician evaluators preferred context-aware UpToDate answers 83% of the time.
  • 02When scribes answer questions, note accuracy isn’t enough. Regenstrief and Suki are building a framework that may standardize metrics for answers too.
