Holiday Songs Featuring Generative AI in Healthcare (didn’t see that coming did you?)
One of the great pleasures in life is to catch people in a moment of joyful surprise. My schtick is ukulele EHR parody songs when people don't expect it. Here are two: ChatGPT, sung to Sweet Caroline, about AI draft replies to patients, chart summaries and ambient notes. Then, EHR Wonderland, about Abridge and ambient note experience. OK, strictly speaking, only one is a holiday song parody, but who's counting. Happy holidays!

UCHealth joins the Epic COSMOS family. Datathon! Ukulele Parody!
This past week, we hosted our Epic Wisconsin colleagues for an immersion trip on Slicer Dicer and COSMOS, as our researchers, data scientists and faculty dove deeply into Slicer Dicer and the finer points of exploring the deidentified Cosmos database of over 300 million patients. We can’t wait to join the growing list of scientists drawing new lessons from a global repository of clinical care experience.
XGM FOMO generator #17. Cassiopeian Jazz ensemble
Received an insider hot tip that some Epic folks were doing a jazz concert in Cassiopeia. About a dozen of us found out, including the everywhere-all-at-once Mark Mabus. What a joy to work with Renaissance women and men.
