Dr. Dreyer, who is also vice chair of radiology, oversees dozens of AI algorithms that the health system uses to read medical images, helping diagnose and detect disease, according to the Sept. 7 Time story. He continuously evaluates the algorithms for efficacy and patient privacy, works on AI-based reimbursement, and analyzes how autonomous AI can become in healthcare.
“AI in healthcare holds tremendous promise and potential for our many stakeholders — from patients and caregivers to providers and administrators — by enabling novel insights that support clinical impact,” he said in a Sept. 7 health system news release shared with Becker’s. “I’m committed to improving healthcare delivery and operations through the development and productization of AI-enabled solutions in a manner that maximizes societal good.”
Time‘s honorees included a variety of executives, policymakers, entrepreneurs and artists who are advancing AI, including Elon Musk and Sam Altman, the co-founder and CEO of ChatGPT-developer OpenAI. Dr. Dreyer is the only health system leader who made the list.
