KHALIL DIAB
About this episode

Please listen to our latest episode of The Lebanese Physicians' Podcast discussing clincial informatics in primary care and its role in enhancing access to primary care and preventive care. This episode is co-hosted with Dr. MohammadAli Jardaly. Our guest is Dr. Ramy Khalil who is now based in Dubai, but is still director of medical informatics at PeopleOne Health, a direct primary healthcare company in the US that offers health plans for employers offering direct primary and preventive care to their employees thus cutting administrative costs. 

Preventive and primary care suffers from lack of primary care physicians and primary care physician burnout in the United States and the MENA region due to low reimbursement and overwork. We discuss the role of AI and medical informatics in improving access to primary care enhancing quality of life for primary care physicians and job satisfaction while at the same improving patient care. 

An episode not to be missed, the longest episode we have recorded so far.
