Commission's Big Tent Committee backs guidance to clarify decision-making on complex issues Committee members broadly endorsed a draft decision-making guidance to help staff and commissioners scope issues, identify essential evidence, and flag areas of agreement and uncertainty; staff will refine the draft with the science-policy team and test it on a future topic.

The Big Tent Committee has unveiled a game-changing decision-making guidance that promises to streamline how commissioners tackle complex issues.

Adoption of an Electronic Decision Support Tool for Capacity Building of Community Health Workers: Mixed Methods Study Background: Complimentary subscriptions to UpToDate, a decision support tool, were provided to community health workers (CHWs) in rural and remote primary care sites as part of a government-funded health system research program. A #feasibility evaluation conducted after the first year of implementation showed that UpToDate was acceptable among CHWs despite infrastructural barriers. Objective: This follow-up study evaluated the longitudinal adoption of UpToDate among CHWs and examined how sociocultural, political, and environmental factors influenced its use. Drawing on the nonadoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, and sustainability framework, this study aimed to understand not only use patterns but also broader challenges to scale-up, spread, and sustainability in a complex health system. Methods: An explanatory mixed methods design was used combining analysis of use and program activity logs; program reports; and focus groups with CHWs, health care professionals, and program implementers. Quantitative analysis of use logs (March 2021 to September 2023) compared adoption over time by using descriptive statistics, CIs, and chi-square tests. Qualitative data came from the reanalysis of previous focus group transcripts and program reports and from a new focus group with program implementers. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to interpret how CHWs and implementers perceived and used the tool, and findings were integrated to explain quantitative trends. Results: Use of UpToDate was modest and declined over time. Monthly active use among CHWs and midwives fell substantially from 3.57% (97/2720 person-months) in 2021 to 1.07% (37/3456) in 2022 and remained low at 1.50% (39/2592) up to 2023, with markedly higher engagement in the rural site than in the remote site. Peaks in use coincided with program activities, whereas prolonged troughs followed typhoons, power outages, and other disruptions. Log data showed that users primarily consulted patient education articles rather than clinician-oriented decision tools. Qualitative analyses revealed that CHWs appropriated UpToDate as a learning aid and source of professional credibility. Structural shocks, heavy workloads, language barriers, and limited device access constrained individual use, and communal practices (shared devices and learning activities) meant that meaningful engagement often went unrecorded in vendor metrics. Conclusions: Our findings show that acceptability does not guarantee sustained use and that adoption cannot be captured fully by log-in counts. UpToDate’s value for CHWs lay in how it was domesticated as a tool for building capacity and professional credibility, not in its intended function as a decision aid used at the point of care. Therefore, evaluations of digital health tools should incorporate indicators of learning and social capital alongside use metrics. Policymakers should recognize that infrastructural fragility and communal adaptation shape digital health uptake. Embedding tools into ongoing training and peer learning structures, providing offline and multilingual support, and investing in resilience planning will be crucial for meaningful scale-up and sustainability.

Good AI should advise experts, not replace them. Imagine a doctor with infinite memory and clear sources. The human still decides, and that is important.
I trust this more than magic answers.

Are AI ChatBots really getting doctors the answers they need? Let's find out. “𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥.” Okay so it's not Jurassic Park, but do these AI chatbots ever give you the same feeling? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 for how to best "manage" them. Physicians are wading through opinions, missing research, hallucinated citations, even taking “prompt engineering” trainings, and yet chatbots are being used everywhere — including in precision oncology. For better outcomes, maybe the solution isn't a chatbot at all. Our skilled and dedicated researchers work with AI to build a robust living library, one that is constantly growing to cover more cancers and more treatments, so that when you have questions, you can get the answers you need.

Bar chart showing the temporal distribution of alert-to-action times before and after implementation. Alert-to-action times are measured as the first occurrence of any provider action. Histograms are offset slightly on the x axis slightly to enable visulization of overlapping data between the two phases. Blue bars and kernel density estimation curve represent preimplementation; blue bars and kernel density estimation curve represent postimplementation. Vertical dashed lines mark the median alert-to-action times for each phase. Negative values indicate that provider action occurred before the alert, while positive values indicate that provider action occurred after the alert.

Agree re: 'Hype' (AI, First, & World-beating)
As Donald Rumsfeld told us ... we don't know what we don't know
If medicine ran like this (just do it, test later) there would be uproar
#AI has a place...we need to find it; we can't afford for it to 'hallucinate' at the point of care
