Show notes

Kaiser Permanente and Abridge just launched "Care Signals" — ambient AI that generates post-visit clinical insights. But 81% physician adoption doesn't mean safe adoption. Dr. Michael Harris, Senior Clinician and Clinical Adoption Expert, joins Dr. Wellis to expose the governance gaps, automation bias risks, and liability blind spots health system leaders can't afford to ignore.


Dr. Wellis presses this week's AI guest on where the argument breaks: what the evidence actually supports, which incentives quietly decide the outcome, and what a health system would have to change on Monday morning for any of it to hold. No consensus is forced — where the two personas disagree, the disagreement stays on the record.
