Artificial Intelligence

Many healthcare organizations have embraced Hospital 4.0 – a new era of smart, connected services integrating artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, some organizations are still relying on legacy systems and analog documentation for scheduling appointments, keeping records and gathering data.

Northwell Health is using an AI-enabled security system, its CEO explains, and its Center for Gun Violence Prevention is researching other hospital-based violence intervention strategies.

A balanced approach to deploying new IT that reduces the burden on employees and provides patients with enhanced services is key to stabilizing and advancing healthcare industry processes.

Healthcare organizations face risk in not delivering exceptional consumer experiences. Those that don't prioritize customer relationship management may find it harder to maintain their competitiveness.

Predictive analytics in EHRs aren't yet effective enough for clinical decision support at the point of care.

The volume of data and its pace of accumulation are steadily increasing. Healthcare organizations that can harness this data and use it to generate analytical and predictive insights will be able to significantly differentiate themselves and future-proof their business advantage. However, many organizations are limited in their ability to use this data due to legacy on-premises infrastructure, data silos and lack of skills.

Healthcare providers are increasingly looking to tap into their data assets to improve patient outcomes, act on innovation opportunities and drive intelligent decision-making across the organization. Unfortunately, most organizations simply don’t have the right infrastructure to ensure better discovery, trust and protection of their data assets.

Effective data management requires not just a sound data strategy, but also data governance and cleansing for improved data quality. Looking to the future, providers are beginning to harness innovations in analytics, automation and machine learning to make data-driven improvements in patient retention, care coordination, risk management, compliance, and staff experience.

Data is your organization’s most strategic asset, and it can be leveraged to drive innovation and modernization. However, governance across a complex data estate can pose a challenge, especially when data is unstructured and in multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environments. Join data and AI experts from Microsoft, Profisee and Neudesic as they discuss the importance of strong data governance and share actionable insights and best practices. Included is an exclusive look at Microsoft Purview, a comprehensive set of solutions to help businesses govern, protect and manage their entire data estate.

Provider burnout has become a $4.6 billion a year problem, resulting in patient and provider churn and a growing physician shortage due to those leaving the profession. Reducing the time that physicians spend documenting patient visits can help decrease fatigue and burnout, as well as allow physicians more time to spend with patients.
