Top Takeaways from Our Recent Amplify Care Webinar

At our recent Amplify Care webinar, Healthcare Clinicians Driving Innovation: Using AI to Build the Tools You Actually Need, family physicians Dr. Kevin Brophy and Dr. Byron Song explored how clinicians can use AI to build practical tools that improve everyday workflows — even without a technical background.

The session highlighted how AI can help clinicians plan, prototype, test, and refine solutions while keeping clinician-led design at the centre of innovation.

Key Themes from the Webinar

• Clinicians are uniquely positioned to identify workflow problems worth solving
• AI can act as a “copilot” to support planning, coding, and iteration
• Starting small and focusing on practical problems is the best way to begin
• Privacy and human oversight must remain essential guardrails

The presenters also shared a simple build–test–refine approach, encouraging clinicians to:

• Define a clear workflow problem
• Use plain-language prompts with AI tools
• Test safely using non-PHI or de-identified data
• Refine solutions through feedback and iteration

The webinar also featured real-world examples of clinician-led innovation, including tools designed to support billing workflows, remittance review, EMR chart review, and administrative efficiency.

The tip sheet linked above includes:

• Examples of clinician-built tools already being used in practice
• Practical tips for getting started with AI tool building
• Privacy and safety considerations
• Recommended beginner-friendly platforms
• A step-by-step workflow for testing and refining ideas
