STAT AI: An Emergency Medicine Podcast

In Episode 23 of the STAT AI Podcast, we speak with Benjamin Slovis, MD, MA, Chief Medical Information Officer at Temple Health, about what it takes to move healthcare AI from promising pilots into reliable clinical practice. We discuss workflow integration, AI governance, ambient documentation, automation bias, health equity, medical education, and why successful implementation depends on more than model performance. Dr. Slovis also shares how AI may reduce administrative burden, support clinicians in resource-limited settings, and strengthen care without replacing human judgment.

Join Donald Apakama MD, MS, FACEP and me for Episode 20 of the STAT AI Podcast featuring Michael Prats, MD and Sean Sethi, DO. In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) are impacting emergency medicine, moving beyond the hype to focus on the questions clinicians are actually asking at the bedside. Dr. Prats and Dr. Sethi share thoughtful insights on where AI may help improve workflow, measurements, education, and quality assurance, while also emphasizing the importance of transparency, physician oversight, bias mitigation, and strong clinical judgment. This is a practical and forward-looking conversation about how AI can support ultrasound education and bedside care without losing sight of the human expertise that makes these tools meaningful.
