7,500+ Experts. One Version of Clinical Truth | Executive Interview with Yaw Fellin

Episode Description

October 7, 2026: Yaw Fellin, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Clinical Decision Support and Provider Solutions at Wolters Kluwer Health, sits with Bill Russell. Clinicians used to come to UpToDate for an answer. He is building that evidence into the workflow, including Epic's Art, with 7,500-plus expert contributors behind it. Bill asks what a CIO puts in place so every agent lands on one version of clinical truth.

At Becker's, a clinician using one of the large AI suites thought she knew every medication that patient was on. The system found one in the chart that was not on her radar. She changed the care plan.

Yaw's answer for a CIO is governance first, then room to experiment, as long as the experiments stay safe and get narrowed to the systems that can hold that layer. The closer is cognitive scaffolding: support a resident and a clinician who has been at it for 20 years, and leave the thinking with the person.
