Join podiatrist Amol Saxena as we delve into the often overlooked disparities in the U.S. health care system. We discuss the historical underrepresentation of BIPOC individuals in both patient care and medical leadership, shedding light on biases, “sham peer review,” and limited advancement opportunities. Explore the crucial need for cultural competence, unbiased mediation, and diverse leadership to rectify these issues and pave the way for a more equitable health care landscape.

Amol Saxena is a podiatrist.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “How BIPOC doctors and patients suffer in the U.S. health care system.”

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

Ambient intelligence augments human capabilities to make our lives easier. The applications are many, especially in health care. Ambient clinical intelligence is offsetting the most pressing challenges in health care today, such as burnout, physician shortages, physician and patient dissatisfaction, and underperforming financial outcomes, by applying the technology to clinical documentation. 

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, utilizes artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automatically document care. It securely listens to and captures the natural, clinician-patient encounter conversation unobtrusively, and turns that conversation into a clinical note for the clinician’s review and signature directly in the electronic health record. You just talk naturally, and DAX does the rest. 

DAX is being used by thousands of physicians across 30 different specialties nationwide. It has already won the Silver Stevie award in the health care technology category and was ranked #1 for improving clinician experience in KLAS’s top 20 emerging solutions.
