Medical Director, Cardiac Rhythm Device Program, The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati OH. @ejsmd.bsky.social. Call me Jay. And my wife is pretty awesome.
Guiding principles for me & (I hope) other MDs: -All patients we touch get high quality care. -Care decisions arise from an informed, empathetic doctor/patient relationship. -In gray/undecided areas, the best path is usually the less intrusive/invasive/expensive path.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie.
Folks keep talking about #EHR interoperability. To that, I say, why argue about interoperability when we still don’t have operability.
I just subscribed to @statnews specifically to stay on top of this story. . . And I’m a device doc. Amazing story that has ramifications well beyond drugs for Duchenne.

This sounds like a dream come true – AI submits the claim. AI denies it. The robots duke it out. Meanwhile, doctors deliver care to patients. Peace at last.
Payers are using AI to deny claims. Hospitals must use AI to get paid. Access Healthcare CEO shares how Smarter Technologies is bringing AI to RCM. 🎥 Full interview: healthcareittoday.com/2025/07/10/acc… @GetAHSolutions #SmarterTechnologies #digitalhealth
This superb piece needs to be read by all those who think there are sides to be taken in the AI debate. If medical AI is to be made safe, it needs to be shaped in real time by patients and those who care directly for them. The monetizers would rather we look away: please don't

Today @cmsgov announced another significant cut for electrophysiologists (as well as our interventional colleagues), this time for left atrial appendage closure. Starting in 2026, reimbursement will be cut by 27%. This just a few years after the draconian cardiac ablation cuts.…

Second hot take -- If industry hadn't sat on the sidelines for the first several years of CSP, we'd already have this data. We know CSP works in hands of experts. For the community docs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hot take – General community left bundle branch area pacing quality in 2025 is worse than general community BIV pacing quality in 2004. #EPeeps
