“Rural systems can’t afford to sit this [AI wave] out…. because time is against us.”
On the latest episode of Prescribing the Future, Jean-Luc Neptune, MD MBA-Luc Neptune sits down with Dr. Devjit Roy, CMO and CMIO at Nathan Littauer Hospital & Nursing Home, to talk about what it actually takes to deliver care with thin margins, limited resources, and an aging rural population.
They cover why AI isn’t a nice-to-have in rural medicine, but a way to stay viable:
– How rural hospitals deliver care across massive geographic distances
– Why AI can level the playing field for rural systems that can’t staff armies of coders, scribes, or call centers
– How automation across documentation, coding, and access can protect already-thin margins
– Why clinicians need to be at the table now or risk having workflows built without them
If you’re catching up on podcasts over the holiday break or listening on a long drive, this one is worth the time. It’s a conversation about access, sustainability, and keeping rural care alive.
