Important paper by Karandeep Singh showing that Epic's sepsis model which is very widely used performs much less well than advertised, has a poor AUC of 0.63. My take--hospitals should be able to use local models, and ones that learn jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

Just heard the fantastic news that Noémie Elhadad has been appointed Chair of Columbia DBMI to succeed the amazing George Hripcsak. Big shoes to fill, but if anyone could do it that would be Noémie. So happy for her and for the department!
