Join us on this emotional episode as we hear the touching story of a patient’s journey with cancer and the irreplaceable radiologist who played a crucial role in her care. Our guest Kim Downey, a physical therapist and three-time cancer survivor, shares her personal experience and pays tribute to her late radiologist. We explore the challenges facing clinicians and the importance of promoting physician well-being in health care systems. Tune in for a heartwarming conversation on the impact of health care providers on patients’ lives and how we can honor their memory.

Kim Downey is a physical therapist.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “An inspiring tribute to an exceptional radiologist who made a lasting impact.”

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.
