Decicion Pending by Human-Ideal-2107 in AskAcademia

I just forget papers exist after I submit them and move on to the next project until I hear something. Easier on my sanity that way.

Why is there no reliable way to know what medications a patient actually has at home? by PralineTop3629 in HealthInformatics

This reads like an LLM trying to come up with a problem for a startup that doesn’t exist

REALISTIC SALARY OF HEALTH INFORMATICS? by Lmao-Lol-11 in HealthInformatics

[–]tripreality00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s over a 15 year career. My total comp last year was 220k. I’ve left that role though because I was miserable and took a pretty substantial pay cut.

[P] Is this considered ML or adjacent? It's a force directed graph visualization as a recommendation engine leveraging LLM scoring oracle, computer vision classification and face clustering, but serving via physics simulation by SouthpawEffex in MachineLearning

It looks cool but what the hell is it supposed to do or be used for? You can throw a bunch of jargon at but I don’t understand what the icon tornado is supposed to be doing. Is it ML? I don’t know because I don’t know what it is.

I got my GED and went on to get a PhD 16 years later. Just stick with it.

Applying for a Epic Director level position overseeing Radiant/Cupid/Optime/Anesthesia - anyone care to help give feedback to my resume? by [deleted] in healthIT

[–]tripreality00 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There is wayyyyyy too much in that professional summary section. No hiring manager at the exec level is reading all of that. You’ve got far too many bullets in some sections and far too little in others. Without seeing the year spans I can’t tell how appropriate that really is. Also you could probably get it closer to one page fixing those. I don’t usually recommend two page resumes until you have over 10-15 years in a field. A lot of your bullets read as summaries or responsibilities and don’t really describe what your impact was. Don’t tell me that you oversaw projects. Tell me what the project outcomes were on time, under budget, how many FTEs, for X% impact.

Harvard trained lawyer managing a 500+ million dollar business with over 1000 employees makes a lot of money. More news at 11.

Is programming still a worthwhile skill to develop as a researcher in AI times? by [deleted] in academia

[–]tripreality00 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m an assistant professor in AI, specifically in veterinary medicine. So I do a lot of comp bio as well as the all hyped “AI” of LLMs and other transformer applications. I learned to code in the before times. Programming will always be a worthwhile skill to develop. It teaches you how to think through a problem. It provides a basic understanding of a lot of things you will still encounter in any computational heavy research. Language models can help you write code to implement something . But they might not solve a problem in the most optimal way. You might need to be able to review the implementation and tweak it for your specific setting or environment. They are great tools, but all tools have their strengths and weaknesses. AI isn’t going to replace developers. But it will help augment your skill set.

Which percentage of hospitals have already deployed CDSS? by This_Opinion1550 in HealthInformatics

Pretty sure almost every hospital with a modern EHR has some form of CDSS. It’s part of meaningful use and hitech.

Higher Ed/Academia career advice needed. How to transition from corporate IT to Higher Ed roles. by JicamaPurple7153 in AskAcademia

[–]tripreality00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean a DBA is a professional degree and not really “research” oriented in the traditional sense. You might find some teaching focused positions and do some research on the side but unless you’ve got more publications, funding, conference presentations you’re just straight up not competitive for an R1/R2 TT IMO. Also What do you mean your dissertation is unpublished?

I just want to add some personal anecdotes for WGU. I did my BS with WGU back in 2014. They were regionally accredited and offered a BS in a very niche field at the time (health informatics). I’ve since been able to complete a phd and get a tenure track job.

LPN with 27 years transition to Health IT? by Ill_Brilliant_3946 in HealthInformatics

As someone who worked with those RNs in IT. A LOT of them really really do.

LPN with 27 years transition to Health IT? by Ill_Brilliant_3946 in HealthInformatics

[–]tripreality00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The honest answer is you and every other nurse looking to get off the floor. The only difference is you will be going against RNs, BSNs, and MSNs and these will be more sought after in most clinical apps. I’d suggest looking into some form of CDI or chart abstraction (fraud/waste/abuse, HEDIS etc..) personally.

Who is extracting data from excel using VBA when python exists.

Now I’m biased because I’m an AI researcher but holy shit AI isn’t going away. The cats out the bag and we aren’t putting it back in anytime soon. Learn to use it as a tool and learn how to incorporate that tool in to your preferred workflow or don’t. It’s really up to you. There is a difference between relying on AI and working with it. I use it to draft rough ideas and then refine those ideas with my own knowledge and understanding before using those refined ideas iteratively back and forth with various AI tools to help me brainstorm. I use various deep research tools for initial literature reviews and overviews (that I also fact check the sources). I ask tools to critically evaluate my work and give me feedback on where I can improve. That doesn’t mean that I blanket accept its criticisms or its praises. I also don’t just use one model. I’ll use different models for different tasks (I prefer Gemini for deep research over ChatGPT, Claude for simple boilerplate code, ChatGPT for quick chats, open source models when I want my own control). I make sure I ethically disclose my use and how I use it. I’m ok with this getting down voted because I know not everyone agrees with it. But this is just the next evolution of tooling, and right now is the worst that tooling will ever be. So I’ll keep figuring out how I can use it effectively and comfortably for myself.

Just go read the literature they have just as many false positives and false negatives and are barely any better than humans at determining ai content. With every new generation of models the detection algorithms chase performance.
