"On average, only half of patients with chronic disease adhere to their care plans and medications as instructed," says one doctor. "Patients expect on-demand support, and that is not how most health systems operate today."

New artificial intelligence innovations for healthcare from Google, GE Healthcare and others at the chip maker's summit.

A new tool researched at Regenstrief Institute aims to help get symptom assessment data integrated into EHRs and incorporated into clinical workflows.

MGB-eFI can be integrated with an Epic-based electronic health record or be modified for other IT systems, making it a versatile tool for frailty assessment and fall risk.

The day-long preconference symposium will offer real-world lessons on building safer and more resilient IT systems while creating organizational culture where cybersecurity is fundamental.
