Brittany Trang asks if clinical AI's data land grab helps

The newsletter item opens by describing a land grab across clinical AI: Epic, traditionally a system of record, now wants to display clinical recommendations, while Abridge, which started as an ambient scribe, wants your patient's insurance information. Trang frames the question with the heading "Less is more?" and asks whether giving AI less information is sometimes better.

The item sits inside a STAT+ subscriber newsletter that also previews upcoming HLTH conference interviews with executives from Novartis and Johnson & Johnson and with Epic executives, so the data-grab question is posed as a talking point rather than a settled finding. Because the body is an excerpt from a subscriber-only story, the specifics behind the "Less is more?" question beyond the Epic and Abridge examples are not available here.
