Episode notes
Screening Age Change Drives Huge Demand
- Lowering the colonoscopy screening age dramatically increases demand by adding about 19 million Americans to the eligible cohort.
- ASCs can capture this surge by optimizing throughput and leveraging efficient sedation like propofol.
AI Adds An Extra Set Of Eyes
- AI-assisted polyp detection acts like an extra set of eyes by highlighting suspicious lesions during colonoscopy.
- Early systems are revolutionary but will improve as competitors refine models and feed them more data.
Use Ambient Dictation To Free Clinicians
- Use ambient dictation tools to summarize visits and free clinicians to engage patients conversationally.
- Review and edit AI-generated notes, then send clear discharge instructions and prep details directly to patients.
