Transcript:
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): I have this philosophy where patients aren't injured or broken. Technology's broken... if you don't know what caused it, how can you prevent it?
Manish Shukla (Host): Welcome back to the Athelas Taking Back Healthcare podcast. Today, we are joined by Dr. Arthur J. Ting, orthopedic surgeon extraordinaire. Thank you for joining us today.
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): Oh, happy to be here.
Manish Shukla (Host): Amazing. So just to get started, I mean, you're one of our most valued partners here. I would just love to kind of get a background on your background and how you ended up here today.
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): Okay. Well, one of the questions that I'm always asked is how do I get started in this? ... I felt like orthopedics would be the best field to go into.
Manish Shukla (Host): Amazing. And I understand you also do treat some sports stars, right? Some actual celebrities.
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): Yeah... I still get referrals and still deal with a lot of the athletes at that level.
Manish Shukla (Host): So I'm curious about how you kind of even came upon Camur Athelis and kind of, you know, what your journey with our company and our technology has been like.
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): I've always been a fan of technology... I asked them, hey, produce me a better implant...
Manish Shukla (Host): Right. You're like, it's a clear need. Now let's see what we can do.
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): Okay. So we first started with, uh, we were going to change our EMR... So there was this new company. It's right here in Mountain View...
Manish Shukla (Host): But it's interesting that you say, you know, you heard AI and tech and your ears perked up...
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): ...they're resistant to chaotic or unpredictable change...
(Transcription continues detailing various insights and conversational exchanges throughout the podcast episode, reflecting on the integration of technology in medicine and patient care)
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): ...if you're not willing to walk in traffic, you're not going forward.
...
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): So if I'm talking to an MSO person or PE firm, I tell them the first thing you do is you get their technology and office technology up to speed.
Manish Shukla (Host): Right.
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): ...it’s a private equity move without having to sell anything.
Manish Shukla (Host): You mentioned the op report scribe. What else is in the vision of Dr. Ting for healthcare's future?
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): Just everything... I see, you know, in surgery I use robotics. I use augmented AR for my knee replacements.
Manish Shukla (Host): So I guess on the counterpoint, what's one thing you would change in U.S. healthcare outpatient care tomorrow, if you could?
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): Reimbursement.
Manish Shukla (Host): Healthcare being devalued... What is your personal why that keeps you going?
Dr. Arthur Ting (Guest): I keep doing this because I enjoy it... I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t do this.
Manish Shukla (Host): Thank you for being here today.
