Episode Description

October 17, 2025: When ChatGPT entered healthcare with bold claims about clinical guidance, physicians took notice—and not always in a good way. Yaw Fellin, SVP and GM at Wolters Kluwer, discusses why expert-curated content still matters in the age of generative AI. With 7,600 clinical experts validating every recommendation, Wolters Kluwer is taking a fundamentally different approach than Big Tech's "let's see how it goes" mentality. Yaw reveals how they're grounding AI in trusted sources, keeping experts in the loop, and designing enterprise-grade clinical decision support that hospitals can actually rely on. Quality data trumps quantity every time—especially when patient safety is on the line. Key Points:

00:43 Generative AI in Clinical Decision Support
04:20 Ensuring Reliable AI Systems
07:50 Context-Aware Clinical Decision Support
10:53 Comparing UpToDate with Competitors
