Show Notes

November 6, 2025: Stephon Proctor, PhD, Associate Chief Health Informatics Officer for Platform Innovation at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, is redefining what's possible when clinical expertise meets technical innovation. He built "Chipper"—a prototype that embeds generative AI directly into Epic's EHR, eliminating the friction of jumping between systems. The reaction from the healthcare IT community was explosive, validating what many suspected: seamless AI integration isn't just convenient, it's essential. From CHOP's "School of AI" training hundreds of staff members to their ambitious plans for digitally-enabled patient rooms in a new 28-floor tower, this conversation explores how one organization is preparing for an agentic AI future.

Key Points:

• 03:26 Developing the Chipper App
• 07:54 Technical Architecture and Challenges
• 11:22 Adoption and Workflow Integration
• 18:27 Future of Innovation at CHOP
