Dr. Laura-Kathryn Neal and Joe Daraskevich spend the 10th episode of the AI podcast series talking about some of the best ways to turn patient feedback into action. Dr. Neal begins by breaking down the challenges medical practices face when feedback is involved. A lot of times offices experience an information overload, especially when staff members are trying to process data manually. It's also hard to analyze data in real time, which means by the time an issue is apparent it's too late to implement a change. An easy way to tackle a lot of those common issues is by using MonkeyLearn. Dr. Neal explains how the free version provides basic sentiment analysis for up to 300 texts per month. For most small- to medium-sized practices, that's plenty to get started. The visual reporting is also a really handy way to show digest complicated data. MonkeyLearn is also great for categorizing patient comments and spotting trending issues. Most people can think back to a time when a big change was made without data to support it. With MonkeyLearn, it's a lot easier to show the reasons behind a change and to make those changes quickly before a problem gets out of control.

Episode Three The third episode in the 10-part podcast series on artificial intelligence focuses on Canva and how the platform can help streamline medical practice operations. Dr. Laura-Kathryn Neal and Joe Daraskevich begin by explaining Canva is a user-friendly program that can create complex designs with little or no experience necessary. Physicians and practice managers can spend as little or as much time as they want on individual designs, but the AI feature speeds up the process significantly. Canva's library of templates has something for everyone, whether users are looking for a silly theme or something more serious. Dr. Neal suggests starting off by creating some helpful infographics that can be shared with patients or others outside the medical field. That can help make hard-to-understand topics much easier to comprehend. From there, there are several possibilities to help streamline office operations. Social media graphics, office signage and appointment cards can all be enhanced with Canva. Remember, each episode focuses on a new topic but some of the skills from previous episodes, like the one on ChatGPT, can be helpful as the series moves forward. Give Canva a try and let us know what you think!
