Transforming Healthcare Roles through Specialization and Narrative Building

Specialists are essential in interpreting medical information, emphasizing the need for tools to summarize detailed patient stories including social determinants. Enabling doctors to engage face-to-face by creating narratives during visits improves patient records. Unbundling healthcare jobs and isolating data interpretation as a horizontal role could enhance information synthesis. The concept of a 'data ist' specializing in data interpretation may revolutionize healthcare roles by continuously updating patient information beyond sporadic interactions. Rethinking healthcare roles through specialization and narrative building could potentially transform the industry.
