In this episode of Hard Problems, Smart Solutions, host Will Crawford, Head of Advisory Services and CTO at Newfire Global Partners, converses with Dr. Paulo Pinho, a practicing physician and seasoned health informaticist. Dr. Pinho shares his diverse career journey, combining clinical practice, payer technology, and entrepreneurship.
In this episode, you will gain insights into:
- Why interoperability remains elusive despite decades of effort (hint: legacy systems + fragmented incentives).
- How standards like SNOMED, LOINC, and ICD-10 evolved and why they often fall short for real-world care.
- What clinicians really need from AI tools (and why trust, not just tech, is key to adoption).
- How ambient listening and NLP are reshaping clinical documentation and enabling better decision-making.
- Why data equity matters and how biases in healthcare documentation can quietly undermine even the best machine learning models.
- Concrete examples of innovation: from COVID test standardization to fall risk modeling using multi-source data.
