Summary
What happens when a clinically-minded leader decides to stop watching AI from the sidelines and actually run the experiment? Brian Wind, Ph.D., Chief Clinical Officer at JourneyPure, did exactly that, launching a year-long clinical research study into AI-assisted documentation and operations, and measuring every metric that mattered. This episode of MasterMined covers how JourneyPure implemented the Sunwave AI assistant across a multi-state system of care, the data they collected, and the outcomes that surprised even Brian. Leaders tuned in will come away with a clear-eyed, evidence-grounded playbook for evaluating AI in their own organizations, and a compelling case for why the time to move is now.
