Excited to announce our free course with Canvas Medical on how to evaluate AI products! If you're building or buying AI products in healthcare, you probably hear a million different claims from them. But how can you tell what's real and what's not? We're putting together a curriculum that will help you be smarter when looking at a vendors claims. How do they choose their benchmarks? How should you think about which evaluations matter to you? Come through, it's free and we'll have a good discussion (plus some fun, hands-on activities too). You can sign up in the comments.

One funny thing about AI Scribes is that they don't actually take notes or draft orders during the encounter. Hyperscribe does, though, and that makes it possible for other agents and protocols to run when they are most useful — during the encounter! Most AI Scribes don't even have the opportunity to update the EMR in real time because there's no such capability. Hyperscribe runs on Canvas and, no surprise, the Canvas SDK supplies everything required (and more). But that raises a key question: how should near real-time note and order updates actually work? You obviously can't update every microsecond, or millisecond, or even every second. More frequent updates would yield better responsiveness with other protocols and agents in the system. But they would also require more compute to edit existing content (not simply adding new content with each update). Those revisions could be computationally expensive — and confusing for users. Frequent small updates could also suffer from too little incremental context and might miss bigger picture observations. Larger updates, on the other hand, limit responsiveness in a multi-agent system. And it's possible that important details could get "lost in the middle." So what is the right update interval? Turns out, it's likely around 30 seconds, as you can see in the box plot below. The plot shows the interquartile range, median, and mean of about 1.5k validated rubric scores for 15, 30, 60, 120, and 240 second intervals. I thought this was an interesting result from our AI Governance System worth sharing. Credit to Aaryan Shah. The Governance System we've built at Canvas Medical is second to none, designed for ongoing experimentation, evaluation, and improvement of the agent fleet. Let me know in the comments if you're an AI-forward clinician and want to get involved in our work. Also, reminder: We are hiring on the Applied AI team.

Over 100 clinicians, researchers, and engineers. 56 hours. One challenge: make healthcare workflows smarter, faster, and more human. The results from X = Primary Care (XPC)'s second virtual hackathon were remarkable - teams built comprehensive clinical solutions ranging from automated post-discharge workflows to real-time epidemic tracking. What made this possible? The Canvas SDK and 40+ FHIR API endpoints gave developers the tools to extend and customize workflows directly inside the EMR. Teams could move data seamlessly, spin up extensions with full patient context, and launch APIs for advanced automation - all without getting stuck in integration complexity. As one participant put it - "Having worked with EHR's for my entire career... The SDK is chef's kiss. 🧑🍳" We are grateful for all the participants and their contributions to a great event.

Close to 70% of Medicare patients have two or more chronic conditions. 📊 Yet many medical practices are struggling with chronic care management (CCM) workflows because their EMR isn’t built to support it. That means missed opportunities to provide better access to care and build a stronger business. Your EMR should work with you, not against you, when managing chronic care patients. Here's what a purpose-built chronic care management EMR delivers 📌 → Identify eligible patients during visits → Track time spent across the care team → Generate compliant care plans in minutes → Automate correctly coded documentation for billing Using CCM-enabled systems allows providers to expand their for services and patient access, developing comprehensive treatment plans and dedicating additional staff time to manage chronic patients. Canvas has built a prototype Chronic Care Management EMR that’s been customized for the care model. Review the capabilities and sign up for a trial to work with AI-generated sample patients today. https://lnkd.in/g9N7xce8

AI in healthcare needs more than hype. It needs guardrails. Canvas Medical CEO Adam Farren calls out some missing pieces of the White House's new America’s AI Action Plan as applied to healthcare, namely AI safety, transparent benchmarks, and the critical regulatory role of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).  Deployment of AI in clinical settings requires safety rubrics and continuous evaluation. He argues that there needs to be a push to require AI solution providers to utilize transparent benchmarks and evaluations of the safety of what they are providing on the clinical front lines. Patient consent, clinical safety, and technical standards can’t be afterthoughts, especially for higher‑stakes applications like medication recommendations, AI scribes, and diagnostics. 📖 Read Adam’s full take in MedCity News: https://lnkd.in/gS2S8vEX

An estimated 862,000 people in the U.S. are living with chronic Hepatitis B, and 68% of them don’t even know it. Left undetected, hepatitis B virus (HBV) can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, or liver failure. Screening is recommended once a year for asymptomatic, nonpregnant adolescents and adults at increased risk for HBV.   The target population includes: ➕ People born in regions with high HBV prevalence (≥2%) or U.S.-born persons whose parents are from regions with HBsAg prevalence >= 8% (and who were not vaccinated as infants). ➕ A HIV-positive person or individuals who inject drugs or have shared needles.  ➕ Household contacts or sexual partners of persons with HBV infection or sexually active gay or bisexual men. Following World Hepatitis Day on July 28, we’re highlighting the Hepatitis B Screening Extension in Canvas, helping support clinicians in early detection. The extension: → Flags when a patient record includes risk factors during the visit. → Triggers a USPSTF-aligned recommendation to order Hepatitis B screening lab tests like HBsAg, anti-HBc, and HBV DNA. → Provides clinicians with specific, tailored recommendations for each risk factor identified.

👶 Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect 13% to 15% of all pregnancies in the U.S., making them among the most common and dangerous pregnancy complications. Left undetected, conditions like preeclampsia and gestational hypertension can lead to stroke, seizures, organ damage, and poor fetal outcomes. To support early detection, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends routine blood pressure screening throughout pregnancy. The Screening for Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Extension in Canvas helps clinicians identify patients at or beyond 20 weeks gestation and surfaces HDP recommendations to support better maternal and fetal outcomes. Consider a patient with no prior diagnosis of hypertension who arrives for her routine prenatal visit at 21 weeks. Canvas automatically flags her eligibility and triggers a protocol to monitor for hypertensive disorders, helping prevent complications down the line for both the parent and baby. As we observe National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month, it serves as a timely reminder that improving maternal health monitoring is crucial to healthy fetal development.

Did you know that 80% of health outcomes are influenced by factors outside the clinic, while only 20% are attributed to clinical care? According to the California Primary Care Association (CPCA), these non-clinical factors are considered the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), which include the conditions in which we live, work, and age, shaped by money, power, and resources. PRAPARE is a national standardized patient risk assessment tool designed to engage patients and to equip healthcare and their community partners to better understand and act on individuals’ SDOH. We’ve made it easy for our customers to add the PRAPARE screening tool into Canvas with a prebuilt Extension. The PRAPARE Screening Tool Extension in Canvas helps clinicians: → Screen for 22 SDOH domains, including housing, employment, and social isolation → Generate a 0–22 risk score, with higher scores indicating greater need → Flag patients whose social conditions may impact chronic disease outcomes 👩⚕️ Example of how it works in Canvas: A 55-year-old with Type 2 diabetes completes PRAPARE at intake. They report housing instability, food insecurity, and unemployment. When the clinician meets with the patient, they note the high risk score, prompting outreach to community support services. This provides holistic care to the patient, instead of treating symptoms of an illness.  Try the PRAPARE Extension in a Canvas EMR today: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eFVgTHGw
