SUMMARY:Book Launch: A Conversation with Dr. Yin Ho\, Author of Rushing Headlong: Health IT's Legacy and the Road to Responsible AI
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Dr. Yin Ho\, MD\, MBA\, the author of Rushing Headlong: Health IT’s Legacy and The Road to Responsible AI\, which traces the journey from early health IT hopes to the rise of generative AI in medicine. \n​Blending personal stories with deep industry experience\, she dissects how both public and private leaders have let key opportunities slip away\, leaving behind a healthcare system that is often disjointed and frustrating for patients\, clinicians\, and researchers alike. \n​Dr. Ho does not pull punches as she guides the reader through the damage done by regulatory capture and how generative AI can help transform mountains of medical data into real progress. \n​Clear-eyed and unapologetic\, this book exposes how every healthcare stakeholder in the system shares responsibility for our current predicament- and why fixing it demands intention\, collaboration\, and courage from all of us. \nAuthor: \n \n\n\n\n\nYin Ho\, M.D.\, M.B.A. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA serial entrepreneur and visionary executive in the Health IT and clinical research space\, Dr. Ho has been founding\, building\, and leading Health IT companies and initiatives for over 25 years. \nMost recently\, Dr. Ho was the interim CEO at Veradigm (MDRX) where she led the strategic acquisition of a generative AI company\, Science IO. As the first electronic health record firm to have its own proprietary LLM capabilities (in the form of small language models) in-house\, she charted a direction to improve the quality of data collection and data abstraction for both clinical care and research. A longtime strategic thinker\, Dr. Ho also founded and led Context Matters Inc. — the first data analytics software company focused on global health technology assessments and linking health economics to clinical trial outcomes. Today\, Context Matters is part of Clarivate Analytics (CLVT). \nDr. Ho led eHealth at Pfizer (PFE) in the early years of Health IT\, and served as the Chief Product and Strategy Officer for Aetion in the first years of real world evidence. She was also the VP of Product and Corporate Strategy at Medidata\, and part of the executive team who led the company through its IPO. \nOriginally trained as an emergency medicine physician at Yale\, Dr. Ho became excited about the potential of eHealth and changed careers quickly by earning an MBA from Harvard just as eHealth/Health IT was emerging. In fact\, to help push the Health IT ecosystem along\, she co-founded New York City Health Business Leaders (NYCHBL) — now Digital Health New York (DHNY) — to propel NYC into the healthcare innovation juggernaut it is today. \nDr. Ho is currently on the Board of Directors at Segmed (an AI-enabled radiology data aggregator for real world evidence) and serves as an advisor to Lighten AI (a clinical abstraction AI company) and Novellia (an AI-enabled personal health data company). \nDr. Ho earned her B.A. from Brown University\, her M.D. from Yale University School of Medicine\, and her M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
