  How NAIT Built an Interprofessional Simulation Program That Keeps Getting Bigger

  Sep 15, 202644 min

  In this episode of On Record, hosts Mike Anzalone and Carmen Haak speak with Lisa George, Associate Chair of Simulation and Interprofessional Education, and Tom Waring, Lead Simulation Technologist, from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) Center for Advanced Medical Simulation (CAMS). Lisa and Tom walk through how NAIT designs and runs interprofessional education (IPE) simulations that bring together students from 14 health programs — and, most recently, five institutions across Alberta. They discuss what it takes to build scenarios that work for multiple disciplines at once, from the needs analysis and learning objectives all the way through to debrief, and why getting the facilitation and technology teams involved from the start is so important. The conversation takes a close look at NAIT's mass casualty incident (MCI) simulation, now in its third year. What started as a student suggestion has grown into a full-scale exercise involving real ambulances, local firefighters, a 1,000 square foot extended reality theater, and a simulated multi-hospital system running simultaneously. The team captured this year's event from 40 camera angles across two runs — generating over 120 hours of footage now being used to support ongoing research and shape future programming. Lisa and Tom also discuss the specific role video plays at CAMS: supporting student self-reflection during debriefs, enabling observers to participate without crowding the simulation space, testing products with industry partners in realistic conditions, and measuring outcomes like closed-loop communication and patient handoffs. They share where they see simulation heading next, including the use of AI to generate personalized feedback, build virtual pre-simulation experiences, and assist facilitators during debrief. The episode closes with practical advice for programs looking to build at this scale: involve your technical team from day one, keep learning objectives at the center of every decision, prepare students before they arrive, and don't be afraid to ask for what seems out of reach.

  Inside the VALT: Building AI features with Intention

  Sep 8, 202636 min

  In this special episode of On Record's Inside the VALT series, hosts Mike Anzalone and Carmen Haak speak with Eli Lipasti, Director of IT at Intelligent Video Solutions (IVS). Lipasti studied computer engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and joined IVS right out of college as a support engineer, providing technical support for the VALT software and helping build new processes for the support team. His role since then has expanded to include product management and technical design work that ties customer feedback directly to new VALT development. He also takes part in ongoing conversations with prospective and current customers about their technical needs. Lipasti explains that IVS's approach to AI in VALT started with conversations, not a single attention-getting feature. Rather than building something flashy for its own sake, the team spoke with simulation instructors and faculty about where they needed help, and the common request was for tools that let a smaller team support a growing number of students. That feedback shaped the first feature: on-server transcription. IVS is adding a GPU to its appliance servers so that video and audio can be transcribed entirely on-site and offline, without sending data to an outside service. Lipasti ties this directly to privacy requirements common among IVS clients, including HIPAA and government-level compliance standards that many commercial transcription services do not meet. The next layer of features builds on that local transcription. Diarization will identify which participant is speaking at any given moment, so instructors can track how an individual student's communication changes across a program rather than only within a single recording. Automated summaries will highlight key moments, quotes, and action items within long recordings, reducing the time staff spend reviewing footage that runs far longer than anyone has time to watch in full. Lipasti notes that these tools are meant to give staff their time back, not to replace an instructor's judgment. Because VALT already lets teams tag and search recordings by participant, custom field, or sharing status, adding searchable transcript content to that same system means instructors can find a specific phrase or interaction across dozens of past recordings in seconds rather than hours. Model selection is its own area of ongoing work. VALT's current transcription uses OpenAI's Whisper, a widely used general purpose speech recognition model, but Lipasti notes that general models perform less well on medical terminology, drug names, and clinical procedure names. IVS is tracking a newly introduced benchmark called medical word error rate, which measures transcription accuracy specifically on medicine-related language, and plans to add a medicine-specific speech model for its next version alongside diarization and summaries. Looking further out, IVS is adding optical character recognition that reads vitals monitors during a recording, tracking blood oxygen, heart rate, and respiration rate as data points plotted alongside the video timeline, along with a customizable field for tracking any other number that appears on screen. Because the feature reads the vitals display rather than integrating with a specific manikin, it keeps VALT usable across manikin brands, an approach Haak notes is important to clients who use equipment from multiple vendors. Sentiment analysis is also part of the plan: assessing tone, pacing, and vocal cues in a recording rather than only the words themselves, both live and after the fact. Lipasti flags that state-level regulation of sentiment analysis is still developing, and stresses that the goal is to support a clinician's or instructor's own judgment rather than produce a diagnosis. Asked for advice for listeners considering AI tools of their own, Lipasti recommends starting with a clear-eyed look at data privacy needs, since that decision narrows which tools are realistically available. He also cautions against subscribing to too many AI services or add-ons at once, since managing a large number of vendor agreements and data policies can become its own burden, and some newer AI vendors may not stay in business long enough to be a safe long-term choice.

  Clinical Writing, Generative AI, and the Bias Problem: A Conversation with Annie Holland

  Aug 18, 202629 min

  In this episode of On Record, hosts Carmen Haak and Kyle Shelstad speak with Annie Holland, a faculty member in the Communication Sciences and Disorders department at the MGH Institute of Health Professions, part of the Mass General Brigham Health System and one of the top-rated Speech-Language Pathology programs in the country. Annie is also the inaugural recipient of the CAPCSD-IVS Clinical Education Seed Grant. Annie shares how her path from pediatric clinical practice, including work in neonatal intensive care and school systems, led her to graduate education, where she now teaches master's-level SLP students with a strong emphasis on clinical writing. She discusses her published research on biased language in clinical documentation, which had students identify and rewrite problematic language in sample reports before and after a targeted training module. The conversation covers specific examples of where bias tends to appear in SLP writing, including assumptions around gender and cultural identity, and why getting that language right matters for families, patients, and the broader care team. From there, Annie talks through her current IVS-funded research project, which uses a multi-institution team of experts to analyze AI-generated speech-language evaluation reports for biased and subjective language. The goal is to understand what these platforms are actually producing, across multiple tools, and in conditions that reflect how students and practicing clinicians are using them right now. She offers practical guidance for programs considering AI documentation tools, including the importance of prompt quality, the environmental cost of excessive trial-and-error prompting, and the need to go in with a clear plan rather than hoping for good output. One of the more unexpected findings she shares: the strongest resistance to AI in her department has not come from faculty. It has come from students, many of whom have well-considered concerns about how these tools are being used in clinical practice. Annie and her colleagues have had to rethink how they introduce AI into the curriculum as a result. The episode closes with how video recording connects all of this work at MGH IHP's on-campus clinic, where live-streamed sessions give students room to practice independently, recorded sessions anchor clinical writing exercises and AI output review, and end-of-semester video shares let the entire cohort learn from one another's patient work. Annie can be reached on LinkedIn or via email at AK.Holland@mghihp.edu. Her published research on biased language in clinical writing is available open access in Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences and Disorders.
