Billed as more than 10 times the scale of previous endeavors, the Truveta Genome Project aims to ensure representation across ancestries, ethnicities, genders and other social drivers of health – and broaden the reach of precision medicine.

The sprawling health system believes artificial intelligence should never replace the judgment of clinicians and must be carefully assessed, says Dr. Daniel Yang, who offers a closer look at Kaiser's successful rollout of a genAI tool for clinicians, among other insights..

Artificial intelligence has elevated the quality and efficiency of documentation, improved the completeness of that documentation and reduced charting time significantly. It has also enabled more attentive and personalized care.

The partnership will extend AI support to more healthcare professionals, including nurses and home care staff.  

This month, companies including Oracle, Medtronic, Atropos, Elation, LeanTaas, Palantir and more released artificial intelligence and virtual reality enhancements that offer health systems a menu of efficiency tools. 

"When we think of virtual care as an extension of a continuous relationship rather than a transaction, we unlock its true potential for the kids who need it most," says Dr. Patricia Hayes, chief medical officer at Imagine Pediatrics..

At the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum in Brooklyn next month, keynote speaker Tom Lawry will offer some no-nonsense perspective on the steps health systems need to take to make the most of their artificial intelligence investments.

Amid funding cuts and thin financial margins, health systems can rely on AI to reveal millions in uncaptured revenue.

Broad access to artificial intelligence has quickly evolved a new arms race in which healthcare security teams should implement AI from the ground up in their platforms and processes – and hold vendors' "feet to the fire" – to keep up with threats.

The Illinois-based health system has, among many wins, retained 2,400 clinicians and staff who, by traditional patterns, it would not have expected to stay. And it has seen more than a 200% return on every dollar spent on employee tuition.
